Right that’s largely the issue.

Really the only other app with a serious enough use is Scruff. By nearly every metric it is a better app and does some really good things. But even being on both and basically bouncing between the 2 most of my conversations end up on Grindr.
There is another web app that has gained serious traction for offering a… unique value proposition but I am purposefully not going to name it here so someone doesn’t look it up and see something they don’t want to see. (I will just say there is a reason it’s a web app instead of an actual app)
- tokioyoyo 2y agoI am pretty sure we all know the web app you're talking about. It's gaining traction, but because of the direct nature of it, I don't see it becoming as big as Grindr. With regards to Scruff, I agree, and I'm not sure why it hasn't gotten the same attention as the former. Maybe the type of people it tries to attract? I still think, if there was an app that was completely free, and optimized for cost reduction with very unobtrusive ads, it could get somewhere. Right now the pricing levels are atrocious, and there's a scratch for the people to stop using it because of it, in addition to hostile UX.
