They removed the inbox. You get an email saying there was a message, but not the message. You now have to find the profile of the person who messaged you to see the message. This is not easy.
Con Turning into Tinder
The DoubleTake feature means most Likes are now superficial snap judgements.
Con No way to filter out transexuals
Con Does not work without a Facebook account
There is only one way to log into Tinder and that is through a Facebook account. No Facebook account, no Tinder. Supposedly this is for security purposes but really that is a poor excuse as anyone can make a fake Facebook account.
Con Never get replies
There never seems to be any replies except from bots and fake scammers.
