Ratings and reviews

Some issues have been fixed, but now the profile pictures aren't showing the full pictures when tapped on. They seemed to be cropped due to a glitch (at least I hope it's a glitch and not by design). And I'm not talking about unlock pics that are still blocked because I'm not a paid member. I'm talking about pictures that should be fully viewable because they are the main profile picture.

I agree with others; help is nonexistent. I keep getting the "Growlr experienced an error. Try again later" message... five weeks. I emailed with all info and they replied to make sure I try all the things I just told them I already tried. They did not respond to my second or third request for help. I've been a (mostly) paying member since the get-go. It appears they just don't care. It's a bigger bummer because I was just starting to connect with one bear.

Good but there's still lots of technical issues. Receiving an error and the only way to fix it is to completely reset and reinstall? That sucks. There needs to be a way to back up chats. Losing contacts like that really bums me out man. Get with the times! Had this happen multiple times. But overall worth it. I'm happy with the guys I've met through here.
