Pretty decent app for a hookup site. It functions similarly to grindr, but I like that it has a bit more like a matching system (Tinder style) and a spot where you see who likes you with no blurred faces. Generally, it provides a lot for free users. The reason for 4 stars is just due to preferences. The filter system is limited, and the demographic is mainly middle-aged and older men. There is nothing wrong with that, but I wouldn't recommend it to younger guys who want someone their age.

Update: I contacted support on the app, after no response I messaged again asking for a response. Then the support question was closed. Nobody ever responded and the issue persists. Original: So we can't access our photo library anymore when picking profile photos? Only recent photos and albums are available which doesn't allow me to seach for photos. It's been like this for months.

Longtime user, but this app has really gone downhill. The ads are less intrusive than grindr, but the other limitations on free profiles make it largely unusable...so not many people use it - which makes the Pro level not worth it either. The new layout is a mess. People create profiles to sell massages, with the exact same photos over and over, and Scruff just allows it. They'll respond to this review with some boilerplate saying to contact them, but that's bull, they don't do anything.
