Grindr is the first and best mobile social and dating app for gay and bisexual men to match and meet.
Designed to be fast and easy to use, Grindr matches you with great guys in your area that are looking for the same things you are. With crisp profiles and an effortless design, you’ll be able to view large photos and create your own profile so others can find you too.
The best thing about Grindr is the ability to see the location of others (down to how many feet away they are from you!) with the option to send your location privately to others so you can meet up.
It’s important to note that push notifications don’t always work when the app is off, and some features are only available with Grindr’s XTRA premium service.
Aside from a few minor issues Grindr is a great app for matching with gay and bi men near you.
Pros
- See up to 100 Matches on Your Grid When you open up the app, the app will scan for up to 100 matches, arranged by who is closest to you right now.
- Advanced Filtering Options Help You Find the Right GuyYou can filter by “tribe” (clean-cut, jock, etc.), age, and what you’re looking for (friends, casual dating, a real relationship, dating, etc.)
- Chat and Exchange Pics Privately Once you find a great match, you can privately chat, share pictures, and make plans to meet up!
Cons
- No Notifications When App is Closed This app is notorious for not sending push notifications when the app is closed; either keep it running in the background or open it once a day to make sure you get your messages.
- Missing or Cut-Off Photos Many users have reported not being able to see photos on profiles while browsing, and there’s also the “missing head” problem where the pictures get cropped to the torso.

How To Get Grindr Xtra For Free
Here's How
- Download the Grindr app an app store like iTunes or directly from Grindr.
- Once the app is loaded, agree to the Terms of Service which state that you are over 18-years-old and have agreed to the terms about privacy. Remember, the app uses GPS technology to display guys in your area and show your location.
- Agreed? Great, now you're ready to enter Grindr. Press the blue button to start the app or invite a friend to join in the yellow box below.
- You'll have better success meeting other men with profile text and a photo. When you launch the app for the first time Grindr will remind you that edit your profile.
- To edit, tap the pic box and choose an existing photo or take a pic with your mobile cam. Tapping 'Name Here' will prompt you to enter your screen name and a headline. This is a great chance to show your personality.
- Previous versions of Grindr limited profile text. Kind of like a Twitter for hook ups. But new releases allow you to enter information like your age, height, weight, ethnicity, your website and any other info you want to share. These boxes are optional, so enter as little or as much as you like.
- Below the profile box you'll find an option to show your exact distance. And when Grindr says exact, they mean exact. So, you'll know to the meter or foot where other guys are.
- Next, choose your age filter. Grindr offers a choice to screen by a minimum or maximum age.
- Last on the profile edit screen, you'll have the option to again invite friends, read tips, and unblock profiles you may have blocked before.
- Now, you're ready to start grinding. You're at the main window of Grindr, which is a collage of pics from men in the area. Your box will appear first with a gold border. Tap it to see how others see your profile.
- Take a look around the collage of photos. A green dot means he's online. A yellow dot means he's one of your favorites.
- Tap a pic to see a full sized image of a close by Grindr, how far he's away, how long he's been online, his age, and any other information he's added to his profile.
- Chat with him (a blue border means you're actively chatting), add him as a favorite or block. Ready to move on? Premium members can swipe to the next profile. Basics members need to tap the black Grindr arrow to return to the main menu.
- The main window updates constantly as more guys come into range. Click on the 'Load More Guys...' button to see more men in the area.
Tips
- Grindr uses GPS tech, so not only will you be able to see the exact distance someone from you, they'll be able to do the same. You can also send them your location.
- Grindr has push/pull notification, so pushing your mobile's Home button won't sign you out. To log off click the black 'Sign Off' square in the top left corner.
