Grizzly- Gay Dating & Chat for Negative User Reviews
✓ BikerhandsThis is a very friendly nice place to hang out. Not the heavy pressure of some sites. Only annoyance is not being able to see who looked at your profile...HOWEVER beware! I think there are many scammers on here. Seem to be an awful lot of alleged US military people asking identical questions then repeating profiles but with a different name! Something fishy here. Beware of giving away your life details....Version: 1.2.7
✓ Not much new, lots of fake profilesA well made app that unfortunately does not have much that makes it stand out from the crowd of gay dating/hookup apps. The one feature I thought could be useful is their “verified” status. Sadly this does not seem to be something well integrated into the rest of the app. Two stand-out negatives earns the app a two star rating (and deletion from my phone): hiding the “who visited your profile” feature behind the premium wall, and the real problem the app has with fake profiles (in other words, scammers). They seem utterly unable or unwilling to curb this problem. This makes the app so not worth my time..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Too many bots, but yall probably knew thatThis app had potential to be good, im not gonna lie about that. But at this point, i’ve lost track of gow many profiles i’ve had to report. 9/10 times, the profiles that slide in my dms are either bots that send me links to fishy websites or they’re people claiming to be sugar daddies when in reality, they just want to scam you. At this point, i can easily point out the fakes. They either have really low quality profile pics, single/2 letter names, or they claim they’re looking for an “honest and loyal sugar baby that they want to spoil with a weekly allowance of $____”. I’m done. Periodt..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Recently deletedIt’s rare that I feel so poorly about an app or product that I feel the need to review it. I encountered nothing but people trying to scam me on this app. ‘I’m stationed in Pakistan, am a Marine, and have no money, please give me your credit card number.’ Pakistan was a 100 miles from me one day and 8000 the next. The app would show someone to be 30 miles away, but they would be in San Francisco, CA. I’m in Austin, TX. I also think it’s dumb also that you can’t see who’s viewed your profile unless you pay for premium services. There are other apps, with more people on them, that deliver more for free.. I will continue to use those apps. Thanks, but no thanks. 👎🏼👎🏼.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Fake scammersI get five or six guys per day that are just trying to scammer you. Why on this app are there so many? I got a reply to this review..... your number one thing is to stop scammers..... I have news for you.....it’s not going well. Since I have sent this to you earlier I’ve had four more scammers. I alway report them as a fake account but I can change to block them if that’s what you want. It really is ridiculous the amount that are on here, they read the same script it’s not hard to know who is a scammer..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Den of vipersSeriously one of the worst apps for fake profiles. So many people trying to pull you off the app and fish you’re information. And on top of that I paid for a premium account and was charged again after 14 days. My account is currently locked even though I never signed out, while the only password I use is not functioning and they keep sending me broken links. Waste of time and seriously one of the most dangerous fishing sites I have ever come across. If I could give it a lower rating I would. Beware Beware Beware!!!!!.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Social Network with real function GrizzlyFind new friends or connect with old ones Love the slogan and based on experiences thus far not really friend base yet but I keep trying. As to operation this site has everyone asking too many questions that should be addressed in the profile with a standard list of questions. It’s pleasant to ask for a about two peoples worth of cycle then it’s a lot of typing which men are just not willing to do frankly..Version: 1.3.0
✓ As BAD as it can be...Initially I thought this app would be pretty cool. Instead I’ve found it’s about as bad as it can get. For the last week I’ve been unable to log into the app. A “We’re sorry. Some of the features are unavailable due to the maintenance.” error appears and then nothing. Killing the app starts the process again. Even the “web app” doesn’t work. All you get is a spinning wheel. An email to their “support” address has gone unanswered or even acknowledged. Don’t waste your money. I’m glad I only purchased one month and then immediately suspended my subscription renewal..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Way Too Many Fake AccountsEveryday I'm getting messages from over 5-10. fake accounts. Asking me to look at their pictures on a phishing link. Until the devs work a way, around the account creation process, to avoid this mess. I'd star clear..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Tried to Bribe a Five Star RatingThe app is okay. I would have given it two stars, but an admin offered to give me a month of premium membership, for free, if I left a five star review and sent him a screenshot. Sorry, but you can’t buy my rating. Other than that, the app functions okay. Unfortunately, it is full of spam profiles. I was bombarded with fake messages from hundreds, even thousands, of miles away. UPDATE: The developer responded to rating saying that the free premium membership offer did not require a five star rating. That is a blatant lie. I saved a photo of the conversation clearly stating “send me a screenshot of the rating and the membership is yours”..Version: 1.3.2
✓ So much spamAll of the msgs I get are from fake profiles with links it’s a waste of time blocking them they create multiple profiles and bombard me multiple times.Version: 1.6.2
✓ No too happyMostly hookers from overseas try to contact me on this site.Version: 1.6.2
✓ Horrible siteHere goes my first review ever. But after a few days checking out grizzly, i deleted the app. The site was so horrid that I decided that it would be my first review. Within minutes of My first log in, I received over 20 messages out of 22 that were fake or scammers. After a few days, that number multiplied like crazy. Wow! I’d never even heard of the Hangout app until most of the fake profiles demanded I download to continue our conversations. Lol. Fortunately, I knew better and said no thanks to joining that app. STAY AWAY from Grizzly. It is a horrible site. Well unless u are into scammers and fake profiles. Bye Felicia!!!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Don’t bother!**Edit** If I could give 0 stars I would. Don’t waste your time with this app. More scams then genuine people that actually interact with you. I gave it a week or so to test out the waters. But I can honestly say that I was not impressed by the person whom choose to flock to this site. I downloaded another app at the same time to see which would be more responsive. The other app was and I wasn’t asked for my bank information, credit card verification, and what cell service provider I used, like I was on this app. I tried to message one of the admins to know they need to deal with these issues. They basically brushed me aside. So do yourself a great service and don’t even bother with this app. You have better things to do than to waste time. But overall, Customer service 1/10 User Interactions 3/10 Design and layout 9/10.Version: 1.3.4
✓ DecentHaving used it a bit more, I decided to review it in greater detail, but just to be clear, I seriously doubt the credibility of any 5 star review on here and instead suspect most of them are merely trying to inflate the actual rating of this app. Issues: Very limited features without premium. - Can’t see who viewed you, which comes standard on several competitors’ apps like GROWLr and Scruff. (You’ll get an annoying notification that someone viewed you but can’t tell who) - Most search parameters are locked. (Can only adjust age and distance) - Far too many fake profiles. Beware “Sugar Daddies”. (Not as bad as Grindr, but the fake profiles get annoying.) - The grid of nearby is not even sorted by distance. (This is a standard feature across all similar apps....) -If a premium member contacts you, their message will always appear “unread” unless you respond. (In other words, to get rid of the little badge notification of a new message, you’ll have to either respond to the fake sugar daddy profile, or delete them as they come.) Pros: - The UI looks fresh and unique. - Did notice new people nearby I hadn’t seen on the other apps I use. Summary: Overall a decent attempt, but the longevity of the app will depend upon how effectively the developers can remove the fake profiles as well as easing up on “premium” features that come standard on all other competitors..Version: 1.3.3
✓ To many fakes.There are to many fake profiles on here. Each time I will report and block them and they will pop up with new names..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Fake profilesToo many fake men claiming they are real sugar daddies, i called out this fake one and he said i was gonna die cuz im an idiot 🤣🤣 too funny, dont get this app unless you want fake sugar daddies to take your money thinking your getting money instead, its all a lie, i know all their tricks in the book i can see thru their lies, rating 0.Version: 1.4.4
✓ Good but you payThe free version sucks. The fit guys are hot! If you have to download and pay to actually enjoy so not worth it. Make it pay only or provide an awesome rival free service. Scruff and Grindr have you covered. Planet Romeo if you’re desperate. This is second class....Version: 1.3.2
✓ Good app, bad usersI was given a month of free premium use just to try out the app. It's very easy to use, almost too easy as I sent some fire to some people without knowing it. The problem is that a lot of the guys I see in the list are a bit far. Some are so far, in fact, that I would have to travel to them. Another user mentioned romance scams: unfortunately for me, two such scammers hit me right off the bat. The pictures they both used were of super hot military men either in some far off fort or in service off West Africa. They both asked me what I was looking for being on the app. They both insisted on chatting with me in KiK. It isn't the best situation, unfortunately..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Rip-Off App for BearsThis is a great RIP-Off app For bears !! There’s not many members from the UK so it’s a waste of time really for any UK bears to join because most are abroad. Finally this must be the number one rip-off up on iPhones or other mobile phones. For me to see who is viewed my profile I have to pay £5 pounds a month, which means it’s £20 !!! You developers are nothing but a band of thieves this is the most expensive app on gay dating and have a look at the app not worth a penny and I would even say paying £7.99which is watch Scruff membership is it’s far too much against scruff. So I don’t recommend this app at all its membership fees are just totally overpriced and not worth it.Version: 1.3.4
✓ A sea of scammers and botsI’ve used all the dating apps, some better than others, but this one is absolute garbage. If you want to have your phone blowing up nonstop with messages from blatantly fake accounts trying wanting to chat on kik or hangouts to try to steal your personal information, this is the app for you. As soon as you click on the profile pic for one of these scammers the app gives you an error message that there is no registered email address associated with the account. Support staff claim they’re “working on a system to eliminate the bots,” but clearly the platform is compromised and their security has been seriously breached. I’ve had it for a week and have reported an average of 23 fake accounts every day since. If you’ve never used it, don’t. If you have it on your device, delete it..Version: 1.4.4
✓ J CubanThe Grizzly App is new to me and a huge disappointment!!! I would say that about 75% of the profiles are fake...which is disturbing to say the least. The pics of course, are too good to be true. Sadly, you get an email telling you that someone is interested in talking to you, and after a few greetings you realize that they are looking for a “long term relationship” which in reality translates to a Visa!!! Remember guys, the US government prohibits their military personnel to disclose their location, so when someone tells you that they are in a Peace Keeping Mission somewhere in the Middle East, it’s completely FAKE. Also, pay attention to the GPS location please. It seems that most profiles originate from the same places...which should be a red flag! The face does not match the age...another red flag! This App is a huge disappointment and a set back to all us as it represents an insult to our way of life and a complete and total advantage of who we are as a community! PLEASE BEWARE!!!!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ Good bad and the uglyGrizzly has its good bad and the ugly sides. The good side is a lot of sexy guys. The bad side a lot of guys so do not read profiles at all. And the ugly side is a lot of scammers and fake profiles..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Nothing but spam accountsThis app is horrible, I downloaded the app and setup my account easily? It was easy to use but over a matter of minutes I had forty messages from accounts with the same name and profile picture sending me links to outside dating sites that try to steal your credit card information. No matter how many times you report them and block them they keep coming. I rated this app a one star because of the companies lack of control over account verification and user safety. Fix the app. I will never download anything from this developer again..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Not a bad app but the Scammers ruin it.Liked the app when first launched. Have only had it installed a few times. When I open the app, all there seems to be is messages from scammers and people sending tiny urls to professional services. There must be something that can be done to limit or eliminate the scammers. I’ve deleted it now. Maybe it’ll be better next time I install it..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Unfortunately limited .. privacy issues unless you pay!Can’t even properly try it out , it’s so limited .. especially with privacy.. want even the most basic Privacy? Gotta pay .. want to do a basic search ? Gotta pay .. I can’t even give it a proper trial to see if it might work for me .. no wonder it’s failing to reach people .. I’m seriously shocked at how out of touch these app creators are with some dating apps.. I’m not expecting free, but at least a fair trial to see if the app works for me .. and I live in a big city ...Version: 1.6.2
✓ No good for UK membersLack of functionality for basic free account means upgrade is necessary but very expensive. There do not appear to be many UK members, certainly very few near me. I do not really want to chat to loads of guys 5000 km away when I am looking for a local hook up. Presume many of these are scammers as I do not understand why they are bothering to contact someone in another country otherwise..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Not worth the download.This app isn’t anything to get excited about. There is a bare minimum of what you can do with a basic membership, meaning you can set the age and distance for filtering who you see. Everything else, you have to upgrade to a premium membership for. Also, you’d think that the administrators would weed out dead profiles and scam/catfish profiles, but you’d be wrong. You keep getting messages from people looking for “long term relationships”, and either they’re after your personal information, or they’re trolling catfish that can’t take ‘no thanks’ for an answer. Overall, a disappointment. I tried this app again after a few months, just to see how/if it had changed, and it hasn’t. Don’t waste your time getting this app, no matter what the 5star reviews say. You’ll get better results on apps like GROWLr and Scruff, and you’ll be a lot happier..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Bots galoreSo many accounts that are obvs text bots how are they even allowed..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Full of scammersThe app is full of scammers. Wasn’t able to meet one real person..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Scams and phishingThe app is riddled with guys in Africa looking for money and bots/users phishing for personal details or sign ups for third party sites. Seriously, about 90% of the messages I got are from profiles like that, the overwhelming number of positive reviews are because the admin offer you a month free premium in return for a positive review - I did it myself all I did was send a screenshot of it to the admin. The grid doesn’t order profiles by distance either..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Do Not Recommend, Too Many BotsDecent app, but the community and user engagement is not there. Fake profiles/bots ruin the experience. Block and report is one option, but shouldn’t there be separate actions as well? Sometimes icon badge does not disappear/messages remain unread..Version: 1.4.1
✓ Is anybody home?Downloaded the app in hopes to find some sexy “grizzly” bears, but seems to me there’s no traffic on the app. Not sure if its just my area, but when I get on there’s nobody here. I’ve even got on & used the online only filter & its like only about 30 guys IF THAT. I live in Dallas its hard to believe that only 30 guys are actively searching. Lol plus of the given profiles, majority have very little to NO profile information. On a better note The handkerchief colors was a cute addition to app life, but REALLY you have to go to Wikipedia to decipher what the colors are if you dont know them by heart? Wouldn’t it make sense to have what the mean on the app so people are more driven to use them? Smh needs development & possible advertising help to get folk to the app..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Beware...Just a heads up: one of the admin. By the name of “Lobo” (if that’s even his real name) told me if I rated a 5 stars, gave a positive review then I screen shot it, and sent it back to him the image, I’ll get one month free of membership. Well, here’s my review: DELETE the app if you have it, or don’t even download in and sign up!. All you get is these scammers that are looking for sugar daddies, people with fake profiles ready to catfish you (and with the new revolution of the internet, you can catch them on there scams) and people trying to get your personal and private information, then yes, this is the app for you!!. If you want to meet members of the bear and such, please look into another app. But not this one. Funny thing like someone else reviewed the app prior to me, the admin. Team is just stating to “ report “ fake profiles but really are doing nothing to prevent these individuals from doing such practices. I can see that this app will not last that long..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Huge waste of timeAs others have noted, this app is full of fake profiles of men who claim to want “a serious relationship” but are just bots. When the distance keeps changing from a few miles away from you to over 5000(!), you’d think the developers would be able to weed these idiots out. That they do not or will not says a lot about them. Other apps I use do not have this problem. I tried this a second time after being gone for a few months but if I wanted to sift through the weeds to get to the flowers, I would have taken up gardening instead..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Great way to get scammed*** Edit I'm also like 90% sure the developers ARE the fake profiles. I'm reporting app to Apple for removal. Totally unsafe app**** Seriously I don’t know how this app has more than one star. There is no protection from fake and spoofed profiles. Users in west Africa and other fraud ridden countries are spoofing geo locations and claiming to be military service members who “just want someone to love” and all they ask is for you to switch to google hangouts or WhatsApp then say they need money iTunes gift cards or steam gift cards. Do not be so naive as to fall for this crap. Come on developers get it under control. Especially if you expect people to subscribe to your premium. At least I don’t get these kind of crap profiles on Grindr Growlr or Scruff. DO NOT PAY FOR ANYTHING IN THIS APP..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Aggravating and incomplete.This app insists on notifying you (with a sound and a red badge on the app icon) not just of new messages but also whenever anyone so much as glances at your profile, even when that view is not available to you. Also, apparently messages can’t be deleted unless you block someone, so there’s no way to keep the inbox tidy. And it’s full of spammers — how about requiring that ALL profiles get verified? I kept reporting “tinyurl” link spam but still got the same spam over and over. I contacted an admin who had offered me a free trial of premium but never got a response (and from other low-star reviews it appears that they’re trading premium for five-star reviews, which is super-slimy). The rights they reserve in the fine print to use your images in ANY way they want are also hideous (despite repeated promises that this is changing, it never has). Don’t waste your time on this app!.Version: 1.5.0
✓ Scammers paradiseIf you are bored and looking for amusement then try this app. You’ll get bombarded by guys with stories like ‘at a modelling competition in California’ or ‘stationed in Syria (or Afghanistan etc) on a peace keeping mission’ bla bla bla. Some of them amazingly move with the speed of light because if you check their geolocation during your chat some of them manage to move up to 5000km within 20 minutes. Amazing! But the piece de resistance I always when they try to get you to open a link to their ‘modelling website’ or want you to switch to WhatsApp because they ‘don’t like this app’ or ‘they will send you nude pictures or videos’ etc etc. This is when all communication terminates when they realise that you are fully aware of how they can abuse your WhatsApp account contacts while blocking you from accessing it yourself. When you refuse to move to WhatsApp at first they might become very insisting to the point of being desperate, and when they realise that they are getting nowhere with this they are not interested in you anymore. Hilarious! Please try it for a sport and see how long you can hold their attention wasting their time before they cut you off. Or listen to their frustration when they realise that you knew all along that they were scammers, and not in Miami or Texas USA, but Accra, Ghana. Of course if you are actually looking for real people then you should try another app..Version: 1.3.5
✓ ReviewCan’t find guys in my area.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Nice, but..This app has potential, good features. however; if your concerned about your privacy, they require you to pay. for example, you must pay to see who has visited your profile, therefore; if your being stalked by someone in the app, you have no clue who is viewing you and how often. also, there is a also a big influx of bots and scammer accounts on here looking to steal personal info. the admin says to report them, and I do, but I still get at least 4 or 5 of them a day. not sure who's real or fake on this app anymore. admin says I can pay for other features to be unlocked, but I feel like my privacy should come before money. beware, clicking those spam message links you didn't ask for are dangerous..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Hard to TellThis looks like a decent enough app but it's hard to tell straight off because the functionality is quite poor if you're just a guest. You can't view many profiles and you can't even see who's looked at your profile. It's a bit glitchy. I have to sign out and back in again regularly to get it to load properly. The admin are very welcoming. They offer you a month's premium membership for free if you give them a 5 star rating..Version: 1.3.2
✓ Without paying it’s fine.If you don’t get premium it’s just OK.Version: 1.4.4
✓ Worthless piece of crapThis app is totally worthless, in the first hour that I was on there I got 26 messages, 25 of them were fake profiles from people living in the US and allegedly stationed in Kabul Afghanistan on a secret mission, your grid cannot be upgraded when you change your location, so the same people show up on your grade whether your 1 mile from your location or 100 miles from your home base, you are not able to view who has looked at your profile and less you pay, who would actually pay for this worthless app? Growlr is so much better for the free version, so many more features, less trash and cat fishing on there, if you were fake profiles, and the location is definitely more accurate, I have had this grizzly app for one day I will be deleting it after this comment, do not waste your time or space on your phone, like I said it is a worthless piece of crap, go to GROWLr. It is a much better app for free, don't waste your efforts with Grizzly.Version: 1.3.2
✓ Garbage ApplicationThe support team sent a link to growlpower.com which I even a more spam based pay site. This site just a platform to compromise your privacy. DELETED!!!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ The worst app I’ve usedI’ve never been contacted by so many phony profiles and scam artists. Endless messages from catfished pictures from guys pretending to be US servicemen serving in Iraq or Afghanistan and “looking for love with a serious guy”. Except their lies are transparent. Clearly looking for lonely vulnerable men to prey on. I’ve used Scruff, Grindr, Growlr, Daddyhunt, Bear411 and others and this is by far the biggest waste of time. Not sure why these crooks have chosen to use it but I give it 2 stars instead of 1 only because the developers have tried to make it up with offers of 30 free days for the premium features but that doesn’t change my issue. Probably just going to delete..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great concept, too many scammers in it!They have a great concept and platform. But they need to implement a better way to detect fake and scammer users! Talking to people miles away should be a Premium. This way I can probably stop getting contacted by 10-15 fake men (All ridiculously handsome; yes the scammers are so stupid they only use super handsome pics they steal from people on Facebook and Instagram and it is so easy to detect). I was even once contacted by this Instagram personality! They dont even know some of these pics are from famous people. So sad!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Location Distance of Profile Users always incorrectSo I am using the App for more than two years & it has become worse - both the Location Triangulation showing the Distance of a Chat Partner - as well as the Number of Trolls wanting to move you away from the App or requesting KIK and Google Hangout Contact Details or just blatantly asking you for GiftCards because they are ‘on Duty in the Middle East’. And whoever checks Profile Pics should crosscheck them with Google’s Image Search, so often are Pictures used by Celebrities and Wannabees..Version: 1.4.4
✓ BriberyIt’s ok, they tried to bribe me with premium membership to give them 5 star revue. Now I know why their rating is so high. App works ok but not really much use without premium and not that popular yet so not many users online..Version: 1.3.2
✓ App needier than the menHonestly guys, don’t waste your time, everyone is on Grindr of Scruff anyway. This was not the app for me. No one local to me. The app asks you to customise your interface, link notifications, then on ever other interaction ask you to change your personal preference to their petered and not your own. I got more messages from the admin team than other members, as each those were laid with upsells. The admin team then offered premium service as a ‘hook’ I declined and then I got an automated ‘great write us a review’ and then a pop up asking for a review. If you’re going to send admin messages, at least take to time to read the replies before your bots send the wrong response..Version: 1.4.4
✓ Could be better.I don’t normally write reviews but I have to say this app is not what you would expect. There is no way of telling what guys are near you... at all. You literally have to go to their profile to see but even then that could be wrong. I get sooooooo many messages from fake profiles that I don’t know who is real or who is fake. Dudes that are 6000 miles away wanting to be your sugar daddy. I generally thought that everyone had to verify themselves but I guess not anymore. To be honest i had high hopes for this app and I have yet to meet anyone on this app. Been on this app for a year now and somewhat still have high hopes for this app. It isn’t all bad though, I love the design of it and the functionality of it. That’s literally about it though. Download at your own discretion but be warned of the fake profiles..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Fake accountsI love the men on this app but it has many fake accounts . I try blocking them but they come back. I complain to admin, no response..Version: 1.5.0
