I don't know what they have done the last couple of updates but this app is broken. it keeps saying i match up with people that i rejected. or give notice that i match and then if i check the profile, it then gets either a plain rejection notice that we don't match or the app freezes. Latest version The app now says it does not have location permission but according to the setting it does.

We are sorry the app doesn't work properly. It would be a great help if you could send us your me the description of the problem (what happens and when), along with a screenshot/video on [email protected]. We'll try to solve it asap.

the ads on this one are wild... very scammy. Can't even skip them and it's set up so you must click them before it lets you move on. it's ridiculous... on the bright side you could pay 22 dollars for 3 months ;) as a software engineer, I'll be coding a competitor if this trash doesn't stop after I graduate in December.

Thanks for your feedback! We know ads aren't ideal, and we understand they can be annoying. 😔 They're essential for us to keep Surge free and continue our ongoing app development and improvements. We're actively exploring ways to minimize their impact while still delivering a great experience! 🚀

The filters don't work once you set them. A majority of profiles appear to be fake,even though you have to jump over hurdles to set your own. You can't swipe right on some profiles, not unless you pay. Even for a swipe? No you can't see who liked you either. Gotta pay for that too. Oh and every five seconds or so, an ad interrupts your experience so you either watch the trashy ad in full or close and restart the app. What's the point? The only thing this app does better than Grindr is not crash.
