Scruff review: I tried Scruff dating app for a whole month, and this is what I thought
For those of you that haven’t yet heard of Scruff, where have you been? This incredible gay dating app has taken the world by storm, overtaking many other apps and websites as one of the most used apps for gay men on the market. That’s why today, I thought I’d take some time to give you a full Scruff review after having used the app for over a month now – god, time really does fly when you’re having fun.
Gone are the days of sketchy-looking, data-mining, spambot-filled gay websites: say hello to a new brand of fun, easy, and safe dating app! Let’s dive in to why we love Scruff so much: we’ll have a look at the apps features, the community, the subscription options and some pros and cons, before I finally give you my final verdict at the end.
Scruff: General overview
- Ease of Use and Interface
Scruff, sometimes written as SCRUFF, is a hookup and dating smartphone application available for iPhone and Android, designed to help gay men find a partner or a hookup. This app is incredibly successful, and boasts a large community of LGBT members.
- Very aesthetically pleasing app, with an easy-to-use design and layout.
- Good for hookups, but can also help find a long term partner.

My time using the Scruff app has altogether been a lot of fun: I have to say, spending time sifting through hot guys in my area has not been a chore, and I don’t think I’ll be uninstalling the app just yet.
Presenting: Scruff
Scruff is a hugely popular app, and is referenced in popular culture quite a bit, so I’d be surprised if there are any gay dudes out there that haven’t heard of it. This incredible gay hookup site has over 20 million users, and some of them are bound to be near you! Just create an account and see for yourself what’s in store.
Whether you’re a sub, a dom, a rope bunny or a twink, Scruff will help you find a partner in no time at all, whether it’s just for the night, for regular hookups, or maybe even for something more serious. This being said, Scruff is more angled towards helping guys find a quick hookup than a long-lasting committed relationship, so keep that in mind while searching – you don’t want to get your heart broken.
Scruff review: how it works
Scruff is very easy to use, but just in case, let’s have a look at how the app works. When you’re on the homepage, it’ll automatically open to the “Discover” page, which shows you gay men you can chat to from all over the world. Of course, these guys aren’t the ones to speak to if you’re looking for a quick hook up. If you’re looking for something tangible, scroll to the “Nearby” tab just next to it – this is where you’ll find hot, local gay guys. Scroll even further, and you’ll find the search tab, where you can use loads of different filters to search for any kind of dude you’re into!
Much like any other gay hookup app, you can click on any guy’s profile and send him a quick message. You can also choose to send members a “woof”, which is sort of similar to a “swipe” on Tinder. This will inform the person that you’re interested in them, and they can decide to message you if they like you too. It’s great for those who are maybe a bit shy and prefer not to make the first move!
