Idk why we gays even use this app. The app itself is slow and clunky, and is constantly losing connection. Clicking the wrong area on the app will try to upgrade you to Xtra. Messages half the time don't send, but you might not even know about it because the app just can't connect. You click a guy, send a message and it opens an ad with not one, not two, but THREE different screens you have to exit out of. It's almost as if the owners of the app are trying to kill it.

Way too many glitches! Messages only show as being "delivered" , never "read." The app has slowed down and is delayed in loading profiles. The message list pops up to the top instead of where I left off. I've had to uninstall it twice to resolve these issues, but that doesn't work. I tried to force stop the app but that doesn't work, I've cleared the cache and even the storage. None of it works.. I canceled the subscription. The price for grinder premium or extra is outrageous.

The app has been going downhill for awhile now, but now it seems to be going down a lot faster. Constantly crashes. Messages and the grid don't work. Everytime I open the app is asks 3-4 times for me to turn on notifications, which I have turned off for a reason (this is the ONLY app I have EVER seen do this). Everytime I open it is asks me to update it, but the update fails every time. I'm just waiting for other apps to get popular so I can delete this POS.
