Ratings and reviews

When you change phones or reinstall, you lose all messages and photos. Seems like the install base is shrinking. "My Matches" function generates matches worldwide, but only a few of them will be local. The app has had some poor updates lately, and they still have problems with spam and scam. I've had to reinstall more than once because I could not access messages. Also, they need to give up on racial categories. We've moved on.

Before Growlr was sold to new owners, it worked perfectly fine. The occasional error, yes, but it functioned. Now when you launch the app, 1 of 3 things happens: 1. It gets stuck in a loading loop. 2. It loads, then crashes. 3. It loads but you can't view profiles or send/receive messages. Clearing cache, force stop, reinstall doesn't help. This app has gone down the gutter!

Ever since the update this app has gotten worse! It lags terribly and often won't send messages because "Growlr is experiencing an error. Please try back again later". This happens multiple times through the day. Even though I have my profile set to "play sounds" rarely do I get a sound when a message comes through. What happened Growlr? How did y'all go from being one of the best to one of the most unreliable???
