there are plenty of competing apps. they simply don't have the install base grindr has. it was the first to market well before tinder. other apps do exist particularly in central and eastern europe with local tech and install bases but they don't have the same reach.

also it's a bit disingenuous to call grindr a dating app, it's almost purely a sex hookup app but they would rather pretend it's something else entirely.
