User reviews

To many scammers

I’m giving this a 4 star because all I do is report scammers

Scruff makes it easy

But the guys might still be difficult.

Can’t Block without Paying/ Moments Need to Go

Only having a limited amount of blocks without paying for more and then still a limit. That’s ridiculous when something is essential for someone’s safety, among other things. This isn’t supposed to be allowed by Apple, so I wonder how they can get away with it. Aside from that, it’s still better than Grindr for their free version, but putting greed over their users’ safety is 0 stars. Get rid of Moments. This isn’t Instagram or Snapchat. I don’t want to see random men’s members if I accidentally click on them and they take up space. Had a sensitive content warning which helped but now that’s gone. This app used to be the best for gay dating apps but makes me want it delete it now. Having the CEO trying to entice you to rate this five stars is desperate and makes me want to delete it.
