The app became an ADVERTISEMENT NIGHTMARE. No matter what you tap, a profile, a pic, a chat... you have to watch an ad to proceed. I understand there might be some ads for an unpaid version, but at the level of this one, I've never seen... Not to mention the CHAT BOTS that keep on sending messages with ads directly in your inbox. Not worth using anymore. Literally an ADVERTISEMENT NIGHTMARE!

The app's free features are becoming more and more neutered with each update in order to force you to pay for an extremely overpriced subscription. The ads are becoming so incessant, I feel like this type of aggressive ad-pushing has to be illegal. I get a pop-up ad after I open any chat, and have to tap X 3 times to close it; The tappable area of the X is so small I always land outside of the app. Do you WANT people to leave this app? It's becoming unusable.

WOW! The ratings for Grindr are PLUNGING! In 8 years, they have not been able to solve the connection issue. You have to restart the app numerous times to get a message to go through, or even see profiles. They quote "Thanks to Adverts, Grindr Stays Free". That's not true. Adverts OVERLOAD since 2024 and FAR LESS free functions. So PAY! and STILL have adverts! You can't even see who looked at your profile anymore. That's a FREE ESSENTIAL! The app is restricting more & more, making it useless.
