User reviews

Needs an update

A lot to like about this app, the home page is not one of them.

I have no desire to look at men half a world away who I will never possibly meet.

I’d suggest the home page feature men in my area.

So much better than the “other” app

Because:
-the interface is so much better
-they have ONE price for a subscription
-they aren’t constantly trying to upsell you to get access to features
-maybe it’s just me, but I feel the guys on Scruff are just nicer and there are fewer flakes

Meh

Used to be reasonable but now most everything option is subscription only. At $20/month buys a streaming service. Too expensive.

Overrated

Terrible platform and not worth the cost to join. The things limiting users to incentivize joining just not worth the cost (read messages, number of profile views, history of conversations, etc). Too many other platforms provide more for less!

Dean

I like use it scruff but the blank profile that are scamming people out of money and married people on to it behind their wife’s back and they husband back and they keep putting rude pictures on their profile that is what I don’t like about it
