This app now has more ads than profiles. Tap a message? Ad. Leave the message section after watching an ad? Get another Ad. Got a notification because someone tapped you? Get an Ad while trying to clear the notification. Want to get rid of ads? That'll be $14 per week. And, to top it all off, the app barely functions now. It's constantly throwing errors like "can't update your location."

The ads are getting ridiculous. I feel like I'm on some bootleg website that has an ad pop up every minute. Also, the app now refuses to work unless I update it. My phone does not have the storage space for that, so I guess this is it for me and Grindr. I've thought about deleting the app anyway, but preventing me from accessing it made the decision for me. I don't think I will miss it much unfortunately; they need to seriously work on improving the app anyway.

Incredibly invasive ads. if you check a message and hit back, you have to watch two ads before you can get back to where you were, if you try to skip through an ad, it makes you click through 3 or 4 things before you can get away from it. and it also opens tabs on your phone that you then have to close out. you only can see like 16 profiles. You have to pay for everything or it's difficult to use. I don't recommend it. They ruined this app.
