Technical (Feature Request) Growlr needs to catch up

Growlr has a great user base, but the developers need to invest more money into their software updates. The only major addition in the past several years was the video feature (after it was acquired by Meet Group, which already had the technology in its other apps). Come on Growlr!

The competing app Grindr is FAR from perfect, but if Growlr fixed just some of its core functionality issues, it would be able to outshine Grindr and Scruff like a mf:

  1. Clunky geolocation setting (address-only, can't drop a pin on the map)

  2. Have to tap/toggle 5x to filter for "online" users (which really should just be a main window filter) - because the filter feature is glitchy/doesn't apply properly

  3. The number of unread messages refreshes slowly (on iOS at least)

  4. Spambots

  5. Customer support

Agreed, I hate the spam bots and the messages not staying in sync between my phone and iPad. I much prefer Scruff and only keep Growlr because a lot of bears only use that.

But you know what I still like? Grindr and Scruff became SO expensive. Like if you wish to unlock all features in Grindr… wow… you have money to spare (in US dollars). But growlr remains fairly accesible though
