Still new. So far not bad.
Dropping a star because I get notifications for "moments" more and there's no option to disable it. All else is fine.
open to diversity
good app
Lots of fake blank profiles who send photos of fazz the prince of Dubai. Dont bother with it.
better than grindr
slow to remove reported catfish
no age preference settings unless its behind a pay wall. I dont wanna be talking to 30+ yr old men as someone in my 20s. I dont feel safe on the app and its obvious the people who made this app only prioritise money instead of the user's safety
can't send linksRequires location to load guys nearby always Makes you crop your photos denies G rated! They removed a photo of me djing because they couldn't detect something but the entire app has torsos and other body parts. Needs a chat room! singles section for pay. pay to see all messages thread and rearrange photos. allow some photos to be saved. Make everyone have a face or nothing. Doesnt support sd card access anymore. one star for not allowing sm business ads.
One of the best gay dating Apps ob the market.
seriously the best value gay dating app!
DON'T DOWNLOAD! This app is just as bad as Grindr. You not only have to pay for the search feature, but the amount of guys on here that only want supermodel twinks or big dommy daddies is toxicly commonplace. Don't try this app, and please ignore the fake positive bots, they're not useful. Oh, and btw, if your response to a bad review is "download the app you hate to talk to us by doing so and so", then that only proves that this apps creators only care about god damn popularity and profit.
good
Scammers everywhere!
would not work said to up date it and I just uploaded it SUCKS ASSS
i block people it dont take them out please fix so i can give it 3 o 4
haven't met anyone yet
no one uses it
Dont bother using Grindr rules set for one doesn't necessarily mean they are set for others. There are a lot of brown noses today pity some are stuck up too far.
very good app. the ui is simple and easy to use and particularly not get hanged in the middle. I really like this app. infact it lets me see wider profiles than grindr.many people in this app surprising looking for relationship. so I recommend to all gay men who looks for relationship also.
The people you encounter are mostly thieves and pounces. As a cancer patient it's real rough. Robbed again lolllllllll)loo{myc not working ryou gcis in{possible and in os5vhg I need to resolve some painful experiences with black men and I don't have time. Had my spare & nicked by a guy trying to hookup with me at Kennington Park, a real painful life changing experience! I'm also ill, that tlhis already get7ting worse, as a cancer patient it's real te ough.
amazing but lots of irritating people but its all good. it comes with the package
The UI is slightly confusing but there are a lot fewer bots and ads than on similar apps. I wish it had better filter abilities. It's a solid shrug.
I find it wild that you have to pay to sort by age on this app. I'm a young guy and maybe 5-10% of profiles are under 30. It's probably the single most basic preference you can have and paywalling it makes the app damn near unusable
Terrible app that clearly has a moderation staff that isn't on the same page, had a pic denied that was completely sfw simply because I was wearing a pup hood, there are plenty of others in their hoods on my local grid though, makes no sense.
didnt meet anyone
very Nice experience
On the whole a decent app. However, it prevents screenshots- fair enough, but then give us a translation option. How can we read profiles if we don't read Chinese or Japanese etc?
terrible customer service
Disturbing interface I was not often on this app bcs looking for long term partner. I have been blocking many people around as I found it better than getting flooded with random dps and today I wasn't able to sign in and it says I was spamming. like how 😂 exactly I'm spamming if I was continually talking to mostly the same people as I support genuine long term connections 😂.do they think I will get in touch with them and say "I had chatted with only 10pl from 3000 request, sorryIwntBspamng😂
hit and miss
in less than a week i got contacted by a faceless profile saying he's from dubai. i'm in south america and dubai is way more than 874km that showed as the distance betwen us. the scam artist is asking the same boring questions and showing me the same face picture everytime he contacts me. how big of a scam is this?!? well, we'll find out soon in the news because no matter how many times i report it here nothing happens and scam artists like this are just waiting for the right time to attack!
no accurate. no friendly. asked for money to see more.
Bad experience. People body shame
You've got to pay and to see and to block people as well
Great way to see like-minded men from all around the world and near by. Have fun!!
always a great group of hot guys on here, app is always working
I wish Scruff could grow their numbers as the interactions are more positive than alternative gay dating apps.
انه مكلف جدا
it's a lot of fun.
one of the most unhelpful out of touch and outdated apps. sadly 😔
Way better than that other app which has become unusable
awful
Best
sexy hot men
Suspended account due to suspected impersonation. Will delete this app due to incorrect verification. I assure you, I am the person on my profile picture. Now, how do I delete my account?
young into if there willing .
works ok but if you have problems, don't bother with support. Josie copy/pasted some basic messages and closed the case. didn't matter that the app had me listed traveling to another country (I wasn't) the same time someone was trying to sell me Bitcoin. Josie does not inspire confidence!
Great community and love the features
nice app
Real men right now
technical difficulties unresolved
no admin transparency , poor communication
Decent app Despite what others may say. i found the app to be decent. i started using FREE version and although not perfect, it does let you jnteract with others and see who has recently viewed you and woofed you. and has basic search facility. after a few weeks i proceeded to pay for service. this allows you to see whos viewed you in past and more search features. . Personally not come across too many bots.. i think at the moment anyway, they have struck the right balance between paid and free
alot of features need subscribe
great app, hot guys
Great app to meet mates and go on dates
nice app
Maaaan this app is terrible & dry communications they want u to pay for age suggestions on this stooopid dumb app not happening do yourself A favor & delete your accounts & go to A different app where u don't have to pay for u to use the age suggestions on the apps. Because u will lose your money & won't be getting it back to your accounts whether it's apple pay cash app chime venmo zelle or PayPal. U won't be getting your refund from them so avoid using this app & other paying apps like this 1.
waste of time
Nice app, I love it
Try Again Later 💩🪠Human Trafficking. civil lawsuit in June 2023, which alleged human trafficking violations, gross negligence, and design defects after a minor was exploited.
Graying out/ blurring messages 2 hours old might not be the best way to entice a customer to buy your product. It does not instill a good feeling in a potential buyer.
The number of scammers I've run into is awful. Some are very obvious. I reported them. It makes me feel the app is an unsafe environment for people sincerely trying to find a decent person. It's really disappointing. The app is not a social community but a business making a profit. Don't pretend it's not. I'm deleting the account and uninstalling the app.
nothing going on, a quick hello, and asks for dick pics. thats it. boring and pointless. I miss bars.
I like using the app just to be entertained by the way in which you are to meet someone. most of the guys on the app have given positive vibes.
best gay application
This app gets worse every year. Photo uploading was slow last year. Now uploading keeps failing or even wipeout your entire albums without a warning.
Always amazing!
very good
pretty dead site
awful app, you can't even upload a phote without an error
people rarely meet up in person. it is a big game.
Great way to neet people..
I'm promoting ur app in some social media caz it's best than grindr... I hope u will also do advertisement in YouTube and more apps... one problem.... please open unlimited private album sharing...
didn't work.
a different tempo and tone then other hookup apps
easy app
needs a revamp
easy to use
its pretty good
the "moments" its alerting me to watch are all obese guys showing their dicks. that is the new feature. you have to look at fat old guys dicks to clear the alerts you get an alert and just not a message or a woof, it's a damn "moment" bs. just a pop up ad for scruff from scruff. oh look a notification from scruff. did someone message me?.NO. someone looked at my profile. notifications no longer mean anything. this ap is actually getting worse than grindr.
My 1 star rating is more of the quality of men on this app. It's no different from all the dating apps. It just proves that we live in a shallow world. It's worst on here though. Unless you have six packs, no one will be interested in you at all. The nicest someone can say is, "thank you" and you'll never get any messages from him afterwards
Italy 😔🇮🇹
I think the term "enshitification" perfectly describes this app. want to look at your chats? costs money. want to search for people? costs money. want to send pics? costs money. This is by far the worst gay dating app out there if you dont pay.
literally everyone on this app is a bot that tries to get you to go to a different app or site
amazing
I'm a 21-year-old male looking for people around my age well my account got suspended because ig creepy old men didn't like what I said and reported me sorry but. old men ain't my type.
very nice to meet men
no body is real on here
it's okay .
not alway crystal clear what the effects of choices are and i am unsure how to edit
bad app. never got to hookup with anyone, very less viewership n usage rate than grindr, unecsary global chat or connect.
everything useful is subscription based. Get messages from cuys on the other side of the planet. The app. drains your battery quickly. not worth it.
WORSE THAN GRINDR.. GOT SUSPENDED FOR IMPERSONATION?? SERIOUSLY? WHEN I ONLY UPDATED ONE PHOTO OF MINE!!
Privacy rights violations for android users. Discloses your actual full birthday info on their iOS side and wont disclose it to you. You must block it in your profile then type your age into the profile. They had to manually block my info from the DISCOVER section which android users cant even see. Really not worth using. You get more messages from people 100-1500 miles away, and most are spamming bots. Definitely not worth your time or efforts.
you need to get these chatbots in control. you don't allow free and endless blocks so the spam bots get away with blue murder. this will kill your app. either give us unlimited blocks, or sort out the bots.
Crashes seem to be resolved, but despite Scruff's response, there really is no way to turn off the spammy "You have a lot of moments waiting" notifications. I'd post a screenshot if I could. Still not addressed after a literal app update.
Can't login. Profile is missing. Okay then.
please the operators of this app should fix it everything in this app is writing errors
I've never met anyone on here and I think I will delete this app it sucks
best app
I've been hearing about this app I joined and I've found my dream man, so let use scruff
excellent
billing issues and lack of account changes via app issues. although CS did get back to me they were unable to resolve 2 simple issues: do not auto renew and double charged. as a paid member you still get a ton of solicitations for prep and other useless advertisements in your inbox. what part of no advertisements don't they understand for paid membership? ADDITIONAL as of 7/26, the match feature doesn't work. shows members I swiped as not a match. also shows members as on that are actually off.
A great way to meet people. However it has been unresponsive a lot in recent times.
Amazing web-site. Great group of like-minded men who are looking to meet other singles/groups! Ads are a bit much and there are a LOT of fakd profiles but sometimes you chat with a a pretty local guy...
a LOT of scammers with very little effort to stop it by the developers.
best gay app
absolutely hate the new moments auto scrolling. View timer aside, it makes it incredibly difficult to view them oldest to newest to know I've seen them all
the basic is quite good, if you are into meeting new people the PRO is a good option
Of the gay apps I’ve used, Scruff and Jack’d are my favorites. Jack’d wins slightly for diversity—especially men of color, a real advantage in Montana—but Scruff is far more cohesive and civilized than ad-choked Grindr, and vastly preferable to Sniffies. My main gripe: blocking should be unlimited, not Pro-only; I’ve pruned half the local garden and would like to continue. Overall, my years on Scruff have been very positive. Scruff isn’t the problem; my watering hole just needs better wildlife.
no adds and no loading
Great App...easy to use ..Great for meeting people..5 stars
The newest feature of "moments" is INCREDIBLY obnoxious and even as a paid member they won't let me turn them off. I get "moments" from guys half way around the world that I've never talked to and don't want to talk to. The worst part is if I don't acknowledge each and every one of them, and every stupid pic they shared, I get a notification on my phone every day until I do! I don't get this with woofs or messages and I hate it.
Too many features are locked behind a paywall and the membership is too expensive.
why is the app not free can't dey just be a decent free gay dating app common not every one has that kind of money you know
genuinely really bad, no way to even edit your search. Even worse than Grindr.
Randomly suspended my brand new profile for "Violating general guidelines." I have no nude photos, all of my photos are exclusively of myself, there are no problem terms on my profile, it was less than 12 hours old and I had chatted with maybe 4 people. No explanation, no opportunity to correct the supposed "violation," just immediately shut down my profile and gave a completely vacant reason why. Completely unreasonable.
After the last update, the app no longer functions. I can't stay online. it crashes and that's that.
this app is ridiculous. if I don't pay the membership, it's useless. I did pay for a membership, for three months, renewed and still didn't meet anyone of value, also without the membership it kept crashing... not at all a fan
jada age vale milte hai
being color blind I can't tell if the dots are orange or green and now they are very tiny. so WHY would I pay for an account? maybe they could use more defining shapes or colors.
Too many bots.
muchísimos bugs
I can't even search without the app crashing over and over. it needs a better update
scruff is all right . Sad thing is, there's a lot of older guys that come on here . Quite a lot of scammers and underage guys . please don't let underage guys on here scruff staff.
sca4y. please help. im scared.
Another update, another removal of basic features unless you pay. Developer replied to push the paid, again, pretending it was an old limitation. The app used to be much better but each update adds new limitations. All of the above, plus now swiping back closes the app instead of closing the ads, sometimes 3 or 4 times in a row. of course the developers will just try and say all the good features are available for a high fee.
Can't even create a profile. I just get a pop-up saying it won't let me proceed. And what's crazier is how you also operate Jack'd; same company; same UI design; but they get to retain more of their basic features. Very shady and discriminatory I think.
your app used to be really good now it keeps on freezing up .
Recent updates to Scruff have ruined it. The "Moments" feature was annoying and fairly pointless to begin with, but now "Nearby Moments" is causing my phone to actually crash. Reinstalling Scruff doesn't work as the app itself is now flawed. No response from Support. For the love of god, get your act together Scruff!
the app keeps crashing. it started a week ago. it's impossible to use it
so much better then grindr
fun and frisky app, easier OS than Grindr
good so far
excited
very easy to used, search and talk to anyone else. i jush wish i could find someone that is for me. loving me unconditionally
App keeps crashing every time I use the map to browse other cities.
if you want to show off any art or places you have been on your profile, you're not allowed to do so and get a guide line violation. Every other app allows this.
it be really great if tech people could add a "RIGHT NOW" button without having to pay for it
The app is okay. It's not bad in any specific way but the limitations imposed which can only be cleared out by paying feel a bit forced. You can't even access your previous chat messages or even previous chats of others if there are too many chats in your inbox. I get that they're trying to run a business but things could be better.
crash crash crash everytime recently... and still crashing
newest update freezes phone. please fix the issue. Update...installed on different phone and same issue. freezes locks up phone. app has become unuseable
I'm trying to renew my Scruff Subscription and bizarrely the App comes up with a "contact Support for assistance"...message. After sending a screenshot with this message to someone (@Scruff) called "Vanessa" Six times...Zero response. This is abysmal and Scruff Management should look into this unacceptable level of Support.
there is nobody close to me any body else is you have to pay for the upgrade not cool
I love it people on here are great
12 years ago.. I found a man 1700 miles on SCRUFF.. That man is my fiancé now.. That says alot
this app sucks it keeps on crashing. can't send out a message or read a message.
Lots of bots on here. Not many real people.
Horrible developers at the app keeps crashing every time I open it and I got Samsung S8 they didn't take into consideration old models
excellent
best app ever
Have to spend more time blocking AI profiles with the same Twitter and Instagram profiles, miles apart. Than looking at actual profiles.
Hopeless support. The instructions to stop payment auto-renewal and delete account do not corrrespond to what displays in the instructions. Tip: never subscribe with auto-renewal. I received my own inquiry as a response - without anything from Scruff. I have lodged a second request...Nothing! Do not use this app.
Garbage team working on this app,was booted off my original profile so I've been trying to re-download for a week now and every time it says "Can't save profile" I guess you guys want to see this app fail? IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 7TH AND THE APP STILL DOES NOT WORK, WORTHLESS TEAM WORKING ON THIS APP, ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS.
woof
although I live in a city, only guys online are hundreds of miles away
You add more stuff,on a NEWphone, still crashing
some of the best features are locked behind a pay wall. I'm not paying to find romance
within the last week useless app can't edit my profile.. can't scroll the 'nearby' option..keeps jamming n goes offline every time I try to scroll. tried to validate my profile with face ( I do exactly what they ask).. it won't even complete that!! so I have just deleted my profile completely as the app is useless for me.
Good One 😃😃
So many hot men!
on the ...other hamster wheel, via the same company 'perry st software' that owns all the apps targeting gay males. oh, and a 1hr suspension for sharing a link to Telegram. 🙄 Fail.
because doesn't let me to Open in other account, to switch
will not let me sign up with a new account as I keep getting errors very terrible . not worth your time to download this
well reserved app
Android routinely crashes. Screen goes dark, app closes. Location is often way wrong. Recent update by AI and Apple centric the issue?
customer service is horrendous for subscribers. Tickets sit and don't get acknowledged or resolved. been sitting in a ticket since last year with no way to fix an issue.
They think they are the Rodeo Drive of gay dating apps with their subscription service fees, but I'm here to tell you, they're not!
Scuff App keeps shutting down. Maybe a glitch. I will try to re-download to see if that helps.
Very easy to navigate Hot Guys
The latest update causes the app to lock when I click on Nearby. Moments started to appear on the top in the Nearby section
"unable to save profile" with this error message you face this useless unworking app !!
Too many members seeking NSA hookups
I’m done with Scruff. They rejected my photo as “nude” even though nothing was exposed—just my chest and low-hanging jeans. Meanwhile, I’ve seen white men showing their bare butts with approved photos. That double standard feels discriminatory and racist. I deleted the app, canceled my subscription, and refuse to support a platform that appears to enforce its rules differently based on race.
To add to below: Now I boot up the app and get full frontal and back nudity. No, not in DMs. Just right there in Trending Moments. Lovely feature. I thought that was against ToS? Ok I will leave you a review because you begged for one. I pay for the app. I have the toggle to not get ads. I get ads in addition to your review begging. I don't want ads. You are not Disney+. You are not going to get me to continue to pay you to double dip and show me ads.
That's happening new sometimes it's stops showing pics either ur uploads one or from another album please fix it as soon as possible
I gave 4 stars because you geolocalization are incorrect. GPS don't give exact people location not even close, fix that team 😉
thank you
I'm getting the message 'Unable to save profile' for 3 days now
Love it
good
it's fine. would be even better if I wouldn't be asked to rate the app every time there's an update
paid for subscription but it wasn't activated on my account. contacted customer support, still waiting for a response. not a great experience
Good for Meeting Like Minded guys
Scruff has a bot problem. Most of the contacts I get daily are from fake profiles from another continent. The app is not worth paying for in smaller cities as they have smaller communities. This was app was better in the past.
easy to navigate, easy to shut off. nice, easy-to-use features.
Thankful for there not being ads every 20 seconds and not full of bots like some other gay dating apps out there.
it is so ridiculous that sometimes 4 a very stupid picture you don't approve of the profile BUT there's SO MANY SCAMMERS who tap me and they are free to be bothering! WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO CONTROL THAT??? I'm tired of receiving taps from people "offering" massages, huge muscle guys with new profiles offering their social media, people from miles away or even worse; people who tap me without even seeing my profile and saying they're 2 miles away but not being on the window of nearby people!
Keeps crashing and freezing on Android recently
very bad 🤬
I've been looking for a very trusted & confident dating app to dive in until I downloaded SCRUFF. My best app... !!!Something unexpected just happened on my profile!!! my profile was suspended,now I'm trying to create another new profile but not able to access??? please scruff support should look into this,I feel pained 'cause I can't reach out to my hommies anymore.
nice looking man around here.
very nice
Location services do not work well - location doesn't update automatically and I still receive matches from my trips 4 months after.
absol 0 Stars -now u can't even send Pic w/o Paying ! - what,s the point ! Q: to Scr. staff: who is destroying u,re App frm inside ? -read Users Opinions - it,s tragic
great app
good for meeting locals and nation wide, even world wide
haven't met anybody yet but
No reviews match this filter.
