a bit off-topic, it's funny you use all this fancy technology behind the scenes and your iOS app is buggy, slow and always problems with login and notifications which do not update.

TLDR; Awful

I came here to write the same thing, so have an upvote. Tinder’s iOS app is such a gigantic travesty of engineering that I’m honestly surprised to hear they have an actual engineering team.
Another upvote, it is by far the buggiest app I’ve ever used. It’s actually really impressive in some weird way
The impressive bit here is how network effects and brand recognition can save you from God-awful tech
Almost feels like frontend and backend teams are separate!
There's a lot of performance issues, dropped messages, inability to load profiles etc that are clearly backend issues. It's buggy front to back
"a bit"
It doesn't seem off topic to me: it is reasonable to mention the end to end experience and value of particular work. The OP seems to be saying "the company might have gotten more value from investing in a different area than what is in the linked article"
