Bad news for anyone trying to get some action on Grindr today – the app is down due to the widespread Cloudflare outage. The internet service posted Tuesday morning that it was investigating a problem with its global network.
The top of Grindr’s status page notes that the team began investigating an issue at 8:52 ET, and confirmed a few minutes later that it was caused by Cloudflare.

It appears that fellow gay dating apps SCRUFF and JACK’D also have flaws. Both are run by Amazon Web Services.
If there’s any consolation for people looking for a hookup, it’s that many other websites, including Xx and Uber, are also down.
