If I could give 0 stars I would. This is the second time it's dropped and given me an error. I haven't been able to log in for days and yet i get notifications for it, when I click on them it pulls up menues but they are all blank and repeat the "growlr has experienced an Error" Fix this, it's absolutely horrible and for an unknown amount of time, no updates or announcements on when this will be fixed. Get it together Growlr.

A bit limiting by the restrictions put on by the app. Wish it allowed multi-factor search (e.g., distance & recent login). The traveling indicator seems to be based on distance from most recent login location, and one doesn't have to have gone very far for it to show up. However, I find it works well and gets me what I need & want.

Some issues have been fixed, but now the profile pictures aren't showing the full pictures when tapped on. They seemed to be cropped due to a glitch (at least I hope it's a glitch and not by design). And I'm not talking about unlock pics that are still blocked because I'm not a paid member. I'm talking about pictures that should be fully viewable because they are the main profile picture.

A few times now, the app has become corrupted and I've had to uninstall/reinstall. Losing all my messages in the process. VERY FRUSTRATING. I know many have asked to have messages stored on the server. I have a compromise. How about exposing the save path so we can use Google drive or some other cloud service to store our messages... I also recommend 2 factor authentication to end bots

Since the buyout, the app has gotten worse. There are more delays in sending messages, I often do not see messages when I get a notification, and disabling features is not as convenient as it once was. It seems that I see different men depending on the day, not anywhere near me but magically available even when not traveling. Why purchase a subscription if the free version works this way? Not satisfied at the moment, the most recent update has made things worse.

Literally unusable. Refused to upload thumbnail properly, then lost all of my information on the creation screen. Then loaded poorly upon startup multiple times. Then accused me of being a bot. After the second time of being asked to complete a captcha I'd had enough. And now after giving it a second chance, it says that all of my emails are already in use and I can't reset their passwords because the password reset doesn't work. Just amazing.

App will work fine for a couple of weeks and then need reset because it won't bypass "Growlr has encountered an error" when I open it. Notifications are still coming in, just can't get in to the app more than a couple weeks at a time. The only things out of the ordinary are I've changed the default messages sound to be less obvious, and I use Wireless Android Auto in the car so I'll be on wifi without internet for spans of time (not when the error occurs tho.)

After an update, it will not connect, I just get a 'retry' option which does nothing. I tried a force-stop, no change. I do not want to reinstall, as I will lose all my data. This is beyond frustrating. When I click on a notification that someone is broadcasting, I am navigated to a 'create your profile' page, no option to log in under my account. I sent a message to support, but surprise, no response.
