GROWLR: Gay Bears Near You App Reviews

I don’t know why the membership went up by 100% for an annual membership. I also don’t know they’re saving on traffic by not storing logs on a server and making you download them so if you have two devices they’re out of synch. If you’re going to raise the price, you should at lease fix the syncing issues. Considering it’s only my own logs, why not use iCloud storage for the data for my chats? I’m still paying for now, but if I see a better design with better men. I’m jumping ship.

Coley, the creator of this app, is a money-gouging, incompetent idiot who exploits the bear community. This app is clunky, ugly, buggy, poorly programmed, and awful to use. Whats more, the ads are intrusive and ugly. They keep on updating it, but if you lose signal while youre sending a message, you still need to retype the whole thing. The only reason anyone uses this is to hook up with fat guys -- its not because the app isnt total garbage. Note: When someone visits your profile, your exact location is downloaded and stored on their phone. It is easy to access this information and find someones exact address. Dont use this app if you value your privacy.

Sadly to see that the overall users perceive the "white" as a superior thing. Many Users do hide their relationship status, age or weight knowing that it might hinder their chance of getting laid. But i have not seen any profile that do not proudly reveal the whiteness. There are also lots of profiles stating explicitly that they are interested in white only males. The app itself is also backing that. the field that ask you about your ethnicity is labeled as "race" but not ethnicity either. available choices are also limited. there is no "mediterranean" option.

Growlr is a decent app for meeting bearish guys but I find the interface confusing and unattractive. I dont like the stupid teddy bear place-holder image. Navigating the menus is next to impossible.

In my iPhone, this is the app that has the most amount of ads... Super annoying

Was awesome until I got suspended for no reason. No one has given me an answer, terrible customer support.

Wow. Can you do any more to piss people off. Ready to delete app.

Good crowd of bears, but design is dated. Its needs to catch up with competitors in terms of capabilities.

I used to be a subscriber, until the prices were raised by ridiculous amounts. The subscription fee doubled in almost three months. The advertisements have gone from banners to annoying pop-up ads, which used to be immediately skippable. It then transitioned to 5 seconds, and now 15 seconds. Customer support is horrible. Ive reported a few people for harassment and exploitation with little to no action. Messages are eaten frequently. Sometimes the refresh functions bugs out. Worst of all, when you try to block/favourite people, a banner ad pops down, and you end up either favouriting them, or unlocking for them, when you really meant to block them or just favourite.

This app is extremely dated in many areas, but my biggest concern is the issues with blocking contacts and dealing with harassment. Why is there a finite number of blocks? Furthermore, why does one only get a handful more blocks if theyre a paying member. This doesnt make sense to me. In addition, if you do have somebody blocked and need to free a blocking space, you have to go onto their profile to unblock them which causes you to "view" them and the harassment begins again. Giving unlimited blocks just makes sense. Theres plenty of reasons why this should be the case. Figure it out. Please figure this out.

Thank you Growlr

Its not the best lots of bears & Cubs but the app itself is left to be desired

nobody wants repetitive commercial advertisements with sound and music starts automatically

Dont download it!

Great guys, decent app- bit glitchy Wtf did they update to add pup and pup handlers but there still isnt a race option for native Americans - pretty sure there are more people of aboriginal decent then there are pups

Its great when it works. But it keeps glitching as temporarily unavailable a lot when sending messages...frustrating and annoying! Could also improve & refine the search function

Ive been a chaser for a looong time Im totally late for this party! Its about time I jacked into that part of the Matrix The free version is great, cant say anything about the paid one See you out there (Q, all good things..., Star Trek, TNG)

Growlr has gotten considerably more annoying in the past couple of months with the amount of dropped messages that happen all the time. That would be fine if it just asked you to resend, but growlr will make you retype the entire message, which is just bothersome. This pack of functionality needs to be addressed.

Why do you limit the number of favourites for pro members? This makes no sense to me. Also so many dropped messages:
