What if an app could give you superhuman powers such as
X-ray vision so that you could see the people around you,
through the steel and brick and sometimes their clothes?
What if you could communicate with them as if through
telepathy so that no one else knew? Welcome to the world of
Grindr, the groundbreaking app that has completely shifted
how gay men interact. Grindr uses the GPS capabilities on smartphones to help its
five million users around the world discover other users
nearby to meet, whether it be for life or for fifteen
minutes. The app is so popular and successful that a million
users log in daily, spend an average of 45 hours monthly,
and altogether send billions of messages yearly. "Meet Grindr" illuminates the still-relatively new world of
meeting online, exploring its ups and downs. How is Grindr
more addictive than playing slot machines? Why are men on
Grindr like jars of jam? What if Grindr is actually a game,
and should it become more of a team sport? Meet Grindr
uncovers some surprising answers, and along the way explores
where design is subtly influencing users, how users could
make better connections, and why — love it or hate it —
Grindr has changed the way people connect.
