the only positive is unlimited blocks 😂 - the map is broken. moving from current location to a spot miles away? a few profiles switch places. move it again, miles.away? a few profiles switch places. I live in one of the gayest cities in the US, it should be a different grid even a few blocks away 😂 - if I turn off notifications, the whole app freaks out. I have to click the message tab to see if I have messages, the interaction tab to see if anyone tapped me.

The amount of ads is crazy. There is no other app that has that many ads. The concept of Grindr is good but whenever I open the app I see an ad as soon as I click on any profile. Its ok if there would only be one or two ads but its just way too often so that im barely using the app anymore. Ads are required to keep the app free but you cant tell me it requirrs THAT MANY ads. Ive had Grindr for years and there have not been any positive changes :/ I always get annoyed by ads when opening the app.

I'd rate this app 0 stars if I could. The ads are afecring the use of the app. I was writing a messge to someone and halfway through tying an add stopped me from messaging this person. Like seriously. It's a joke. I also was unable to respond to a message because there was no ad but just a black screen. I quit the App to go back in and stil the same Over and over. It's rediculous.
