admin, , , ,

Grindr is releasing a brand new feature in their mission to deliver a “gayborhood in your pocket”. To mark their 15th anniversary, the app has launched Roam, a new core travel feature that allows users to “temporarily place your profile in a new location ahead of a trip”. Users will be able to change their geographic region for up to one hour, allowing the traveler to socialise with members of that community. This differs from Grindr’s current Explore feature, which allows users to check out other profiles in different regions…

He’s an entertaining counterfoil to the more serious Prince Hal, played brilliantly by the excellent Toheeb Jimoh. Player Kings is two plays in one and,…
