"embellished prudery"
The application has been a subject of controversy, as many users claim that they were banned due to prejudice and embellished prudery. Please explain what in the hell this means. --RThompson82 (talk) 11:48, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Spam robots and lying to customers
The spam robot problem deserves a mention in the article, so does the company's feigned customer service and bullshit "We're working on the problem" line. The app has been around 5 years now and the spam robots are worse than ever, meaning the company isn't doing anything about it. Their programmers need a swift kick to the face, to be honest. --98.246.156.76 (talk) 00:40, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Dating app until the end of the article when it's hookup
How interesting (to me) that the article starts out saying "dating app" but when it gets to the "Holocaust...blah, blah blah" part it changes to "hookup". Breedentials (talk) 01:51, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

Wrong logo
The article uses Grindr's old logo which updated in October of 2013. The new logo has no "teeth", which is made obvious by the company website: http://grindr.com/ Mikyung5 (talk) 15:48, 27 April 2015 (UTC) Mikyung

Drug Use
I have blanked the section. Reasoning: the cited Bindham 2014 article does not mention Grindr or dating apps. That is the only authority on the point in the EMCDDA report and therefore it is an unreliable source on that point (not generally). 2nd EMCDDA piece did not that that Grindr 'promoted' drug use. The wikipedia editor confused the sentence mentioning Grindr with the next sentence which referred to apps explicitly containing illicit drug related content.

 * Someone put it back, but I'm deleting it again. Over half the entry is about how Grindr sucks. It's overkill and similar apps oriented to heterosexuals are not treated with equal disgust. 177.41.1.140 (talk) 22:13, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
