I have been a subscriber for a few years but don't use it very often. I let my subscription lapse, now the app is unusable. They limit your past messages, feed you an ad after each click for some reason. I have seen many complaints but it wasn't my experience. 90% of the men on the app don't respond, it makes it hard to want to spend money anymore to be ignored. That is a pretty normal Scruff experience from what I am learning. It's pricey and seems to be headed the way of Manhunt and Growlr.

The number of scammers I've run into is awful. Some are very obvious. I reported them. It makes me feel the app is an unsafe environment for people sincerely trying to find a decent person. It's really disappointing. The app is not a social community but a business making a profit. Don't pretend it's not. I'm deleting the account and uninstalling the app.

Previous subscriber for many years. Now the app is following in the Footsteps of grindr making it hard to interact with people without subscribing. The thing that gets me tho is why stop free subscribers from accessing older messages in thier inbox? It just puts you off using the app and stops people from connecting which that's the main reason for the app no? Also the price has gone up massively. So I might subscribe when I'm on a trip but I may end up using the app less. I used to love scruf
