More Bears in More Places...we are a global community with over 10,000,000 members worldwide. GROWLR allows you to meet other Bears from around the world or around the corner. GROWLR is free, fast, reliable and easy to use.

A Bear is a gay man who belongs to a very inclusive part of the gay community. Some are hairy, some are muscular, and some are heavy-set and some are none of those things. Being a bear is about being yourself - we are all amazing no matter how we are labeled.

Bear Chasers are the men who love Bears – and if you’re a Chaser you’ve come to the right place! More Bears in More Places.

It’s the perfect way to meet guys and make friends whether you are sitting at home or traveling abroad. Send and receive private instant messages, live video calls, pictures and video.

We also have an amazing Event section with complete and up-to-date Bear Run and Bear Bar listings. Tons of Galleries, Check-in features, Notes and More.

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 poorupdates 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.

App will work fine for a couple of weeks and then need reset because it won't bypass "Growlr has encountered an error" when I open it. Notifications are still coming in, just can't get in to the app more than a couple weeks at a time. The only things out of the ordinary are I've changed the default messages sound to be less obvious, and I use Wireless Android Auto in the car so I'll be on wifi without internet for spans of time (not when the error occurs tho.)

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!
