Following on from his book, Grindr Survivr: How to Find Happiness in the Age of Hookup Apps, author Andrew Londyn explores topics such as dating, relationships, communication skills and finding a new sense of community & belonging, all of which have been impacted by the rise of dating on apps.

Apps are here to stay, so it's time to use them in a smarter way to enhance our lives, rather than only using them to satisfy base instincts.

Andrew doesn't point the finger at any one app, and he's not affiliated with or endorsed by any dating app. But rather, he offers commentary on how apps have changed the gay community. And in his podcast,he urges listeners to look at dating and relationships in a new ways to be happier.
