The guys have moved on and the app is trash so don't waste your time. Look at the recent reviews, they are sporadic and one star reviews. I've deleted my account and the app forever! With all the options out there, who needs an app that has intrusive pop-up ads at nearly every click! When you first log in to the app, it bombards you with a pop -up right off the top! Don't waste your time with this app when there are so many other options out there! Grindr is no longer the place to be anyway.

um, hiding people's ages when they request to have them shown, and/or putting the more desirable people below the "Xtra" line just so you can hide these people behind a pay wall, yeah, I don't think is a good thing. Thank you for fixing the other issues though. Also, please stop it from showing ads in the middle of typing a message. Also, sometimes the Ali express ads lock up the entire app.

Ads are getting out of control. It plays ads when you open the app, reply to messages, and sometimes in the middle of typing messages. Plus, they are locking more and more free features behind the paywall. For an app that needs to be force closed and reopened just for the location finding function to reset, the corporate team should focus on making an app that works before worrying about why people won't pay $20 a month for an app that doesn't work, doesn't combat spam, bots, and scammers.
