For those of us XTRA/Unlimited subscribers who need to take a break from Grindr due to work-related, health-related, or relationship-related reasons, it would be helpful if we could freeze our subscription so we don’t lose the remaining time we’ve paid for. Since we can’t request refunds, at least don’t penalize us when conflicts arise in our personal life that demand us to step away from the app for a bit. You can still keep our money, just give us the option to freeze. This would be especially helpful for those of us on year-long subscriptions.
(To prevent users from freezing for just one or two days at a time to simply extend their membership, you can set a two-week minimum on freezes. And to encourage users to return to the app—or else forfeit the remaining days/months on their subscription—you can place a freeze limit of six months.)
Please implement this socially responsible feature for your paying customers. Thank you

There seriously needs to be an optional means of filtering out the Transgendered, the female and the non-gays.

This is primarily a gay dating site but that is not the point. The majority of use are males who are looking for males but that too is not the point.

The point is not quite that in bygone years virtually all of those using Grindr were gay male but now a very high percentage are in either varying degrees of non-gay or non-male mode, but that we are limited to only being able to view the nearest 100 or 600 profiles with the result that those who are not strictly gay are crowding out significant proportions of our entitlement. Being able to filter out those who are not man-to-man would right this anomaly without affect the Trans or their fanciers.

The problem:

I want to chat with guys who actually want to meet up right now. The 'Right Now' status really just means 'Guess if I'm horny and if I am, which is not guaranteed at all, then... Maybe'.

Proposed feature:

Make 'Right Now' an expiring status (say 30 min) triggered by an action button that users can turn on when they are actually looking for right now.

Tech notes:

Don't over engineer this with cron jobs and caching layers; have the client do the work.

1. Add a right-now-UTC-timestamp to the user obj that gets reset by the action button.
2. Have the client add/remove the existing Right Now status based on the timestamp.

This is a shiny new feature that users would love with super low effort. Tiny epic. Add it to your next sprint. Please and thank you.

I would like for Grindr to implement stricter verification for new and existing users in an effort to combat underage individuals posing as adults, bots, etc. I've heard a number of stories of men who have chatted with individuals who they thought were of legal age, only to find out upon meeting them that they're some horny teen. I'm proposing the implementation of verification measures such as ID (Government issued, driver's license, passport, etc), bank account, submitting a facial selfie with a piece of paper visible displaying a verification code, email verification, as well as changing the age requirements to make it so users must be 21 or older to join Grindr. If this is implemented, I'm hoping this sparks a new trend across the internet where sites implement strict verification measurements in an effort to keep minors off the internet.

I'd also like for all new and existing profiles be required to have face pictures of the user with a verification code displayed, with failure to do so resulting in immediate account termination. It should also be a requirement for both new and existing members to fill out their profiles as well
