Ratings and reviews

Desperate cash grab. Now you can only see around 20 nearby profiles before being prompted to pay. And there's limited filtering options that don't help much, and limited number of blocks as well. This app used to be worthwhile but now it's just a waste of space. Won't be re-downloading anytime soon.

The app is unusable when free. Everything is limited: only 16 conversations, 100 profiles, 15 woofs, 3 filters. You can't scroll up to see past conversation. New UI is god awful. They keep moving things around, making them hard to find or requiring 3+ levels of menus. Why make such a horrible changes? This and Grindr are competing for worst customer exp, except no one actually meets on Scruff and everyone has a boyfriend. They just took away the ability to sort favorites by distance.

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.
