About this app

The only app for Bears and Bear Chasers!

More Bears in More Places...we are a global community with over 10,000,000 members worldwide. GROWLR allows you to meet other Bears from around the world or around the corner. GROWLR is free, fast, reliable and easy to use.

A Bear is a gay man who belongs to a very inclusive part of the gay community. Some are hairy, some are muscular, and some are heavy-set and some are none of those things. Being a bear is about being yourself - we are all amazing no matter how we are labeled.

Bear Chasers are the men who love Bears – and if you’re a Chaser you’ve come to the right place! More Bears in More Places.

It’s the perfect way to meet guys and make friends whether you are sitting at home or traveling abroad. Send and receive private instant messages, pictures and videos.

We also have an amazing Event section with complete and up-to-date Bear Run and Bear Bar listings. Tons of Galleries, Check-in features, Notes and More.

GROWLR allows only males 18 years or older. Photos depicting nudity or sex acts are strictly prohibited.

Im am really dissappapointed with the support team. I am having login issues and it has been almost 10 days now. I contacted the support team earlier and followed the instructions that was given in the reply. Yet I was still facing the same problem. I contacted the support team again after that, but there was correspondence reply. I continue to contact the support team everyday since, but not a single reply from them. How frustrating.. Support team, please.

Slow to update distance. I am an hour away from home location and still saying I am there. That was two hours ago. There are better apps that allow to do more update: this app has gotten worse. from the glitching from the way the live streams aren't showing everybody in the panel the way that things disappear. this is not the same app as it used to be.

I just subscribed to this app and payed the money and the app is totally trashed. It's constantly flashing error messages, the bottom menu to select different parts of the app are underneath my home buttons making them impossible to use. Forget trying to check your messages, don't bother trying to add or delete anything in your profile, give up trying to look at others profiles, don't hold your breath waiting on pics to pull up because the blank load screen stays a blank load screen so breath
