SCRUFF - Gay Dating & Chat Reviews

Scruff was just right

JayJay

The ads and upgrades WERE not pushy, the service WAS fast, & they WERE always updating for the better. Lately, even a pro purchase just gets you adS on every launch & an app that crashes as you scroll. Sad.

TouchID is now a paid feature

Privacy by way of TouchID should not be something we have to pay for. Apple didn't put the TouchID sensor into the iPhone so you can make money off of it. Slimy move, Scruff.

No more Apple Watch app?

Still advertising that you have one but it's not even an option in the Apple Watch app/settings since the latest update.

$$$

Has some great features if you're willing to sign over your first born ;-) Can’t believe that TouchID is a paid option, and that Apple approved it’s feature being charged for — other than they get a 30% of app subscription fees. Wish there was a mid-tiered pricing level, however, if there were that's probably the only option users would subscribe to. Would be better if you could opt to have the users who you've designated 'not-my-type' to >not< appear in the browsing grid. If you're willing to pay the ridiculously high subscription rate, it has a blend of all the best features of other similar apps.

Took Away Touch ID and Apple Watch Features

Bad move guys!! Was a Good App. Now they want money for once was free. Sorry was considering it but not now!! Out of principle of getting members use to a feature then taking it away.

Just another greedy gay exploiting other gays.

There's an advert in your face all the time, even if you pay for pro! Anything of value, even Touch ID or viewing photos, require paying for Pro -- which isn't cheap or worth it! Just gays taking advantage of other gays for money. Also, lots of non-bears looking for other non-bears and shaming the actual bears.

Not good

This has a lot of issues, also why should there be a pro to watch videos, remove pics from the chat, and looking for more than 50 men? Plus pro is too expensive and has bugs too. Plus a lot of men aren't single.

No single guys

The name of this app should be changed to Hairy&Married. It's great if you're looking for guys whose relationship status is Partnered, Seeing Someone, In a Relationship, Poly Relationship, Engaged, or Married. But if you're looking for guys who are single, you won't find any on this app. How can they call this a "dating app" with a straight face? This app is nothing more than a social club for people already in relationships. I've also noticed an unusually high number of guys in their early 20s who list their status as Widowed. What the...?

Meh

They issue an update that does nothing but resets reviews on here ? Anyways...take this app (and any date/hookup app) with a generous dose of skepticism. These apps are set up to keep you coming back for two reasons 1) more eyes on the advertising (which pays Scruffs bills) and 2) collect info on you (no surprise there since that's what all apps do). These apps are usually a huge waste of time and provide little payoff to the user (and Scruff does not have reliable message delivery despite those little white checks beside the texts. What's more, fake profiles are now a common occurrence - it's like the Grindr bots grew a beard and came to scruff). Honestly you're probably better off meeting a guy through old-school analog ways than this app. Take it for what it is- a little diversion. But have realistic and very limited expectations.

New version to reset bad reviews

lipseyt

I used to like Scruff. But it seems as if they are issuing ‘bug fixes’ to push a new version into the store and to get rid of bad reviews. What has really gotten me is somehow they’ve gotten the app through the App Developer rules with making the ability to use TouchID to unlock the app a paid, in-app purchase. How can a developer make money off a hardware feature they had no input into creating. I’ve lodged a complaint with Apple. Developers should not be allowed to make money off hardware. They are free to restrict their own content to in-app purchases. If you allow Scruff and others to start making money off Apple’s hardware features then where does it stop? Maybe a streaming music app will start charging more money to allow you to control the volume button on your device. This is the road Scruff is going down.
