Named SCRUFF, this app is hailed as the most trusted platform for gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer individuals to establish connections. It is an autonomous business operated by LGBTQ+ community members who utilize the app themselves. SCRUFF guarantees a private, secure user experience alongside a friendly, diverse community and a plethora of features surpassing other gay dating applications. Striving to safeguard member data and enhance user satisfaction, SCRUFF abstains from displaying banner ads and refrains from selling user information to dubious third-party entities.

Scruff is one of the most thorough and intuitive gay dating applications currently on the market. Developers claim that over ten million men are currently registered and that no 'bots' are present within this community. Local or global searches can be performed based off of user preferences. Personal and public photo albums are available. Messages and user profiles are synchronized across multiple devices, so important information will never be lost in the event of a system crash.

User Experience

    Didn't have a good experience with the app. Photo moderation is too strict, leading to rejection even when photos follow the rules. Setting up a profile is complicated and unwelcoming due to difficult processes. The app glitched and closed multiple times within 30 minutes of use, requiring constant re-uploading. The user interface is unfriendly, with no help or support provided, especially for new users.

    It's fine. It seems somewhat better than Grinder, but I often get ignored. The travel functions are handy unless you want to communicate in another language. In the Android app, you can't copy text from profiles to use in a translation app. This makes it hard to connect with people who don't have profiles in your language. Not being able to copy and paste in profiles is a big drawback.

    It's like, the rules in the community are total chaos, and the support team is not really that great. So, I posted a picture that's also on Grindr, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, you name it - none of them thought it was a problem. There's this guy, Bernard, who just kept closing my ticket without doing anything about it or even bothering to reply to my messages. And when I asked him to pass it on to someone else, he totally ignored me. The whole thing felt kind of childish and silly. And guess what? Bernard closed the ticket again, without passing it on. Real smooth.

    The new interface on Android is not as good. The background is a blurry mix of colors instead of black now. There's more space between each profile in the grids, and they made the grid images bigger while shrinking the font and color dots (online, offline, miles away, etc). They changed everything and made it all worse. The old UI was much better - no wasted space, easier to read and navigate. Boost never worked. Once again, an unnecessary and worse update.

    The app is good, but there are a few things that could be improved. For example, it should automatically log you off when you exit the app instead of showing you as "online," which might make people think you're ignoring them if you don't reply immediately. Additionally, it would be helpful to have a setting that allows you to specify how far away you are willing to meet someone for Match Stacks – most of us aren't up for traveling over 300 miles to meet someone.

    It's unfortunate that the app doesn't let you filter by things like relationship status or age. I do have preferences, but I'm not discriminating based on age. If these basic filters aren't available in the free version, it seems like they just want to make money without any guarantees. I'm hesitant about upgrading to the pro version since I can't test the app's potential with the limited features in the free version.

    The app is working fine, but it drains the battery quickly because it's always searching for location. It's better to not allow blank profiles to save time and space. Setting age and location as necessary would also be a good idea. Nonetheless, I'm having a good time using the app! By the way, it would be helpful if the green dot indicator turns off sooner after someone goes offline. Seeing the green dot when a person was last online 4 hours ago doesn't really help when trying to find a quick hookup.

    I want to rate it higher, but I'm annoyed because more profiles keep popping up when I try to check the grid after upgrading to premium. I've tried to update my activities and interests, but it doesn't work. If I can't update my profile, then I won't use the app. It's just pointless and a waste of time. Please fix this issue. I shouldn't have to go through so much trouble for something so essential. This is unbelievable!

    Unable to log in because device has been used too many times. Sent message for support, but webpage doesn't exist when checking report status. Still waiting for instructions sent over 2 weeks ago. Scruff wants IP address and phone ID, which is complicated. Now received notification from Scruff, but still can't sign in.
