Despite being a great app to find guys, the platform is full of bugs and fake profiles and scammers. A few months ago, the app stopped opening unexpectedly and I'm not being able to backup my data before uninstalling and re-installing it again since then!! Support is NON EXISTENT!! I hope I can get help from someone who is reading my review lol.

I agree with others; help is nonexistent. I keep getting the "Growlr experienced an error. Try again later" message... five weeks. I emailed with all info and they replied to make sure I try all the things I just told them I already tried. They did not respond to my second or third request for help. I've been a (mostly) paying member since the get-go. It appears they just don't care. It's a bigger bummer because I was just starting to connect with one bear.

This app has been around for quite a while now so if you're interested in bears cubs etc this would normally your better app option. Functions and layout are mostly sensible. Image quality is pretty good. Now sadly the cons: 1. There are too many fake accounts 2. If changing phones when trying to transfer the data on the new phone you lose most messages and pics. Issue should have been resolved AGES ago. Growlr tech .Are You Reading This? 3. From time to time old messages suddenly disappear.
