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.

don't add your social. creeps will creep. it used to be full of actual people & a majority had full profiles. I was able to block 1 here & there. made honest interactions. I had curated what I thought what scruff was or I guess could be. but it got to a point where It's not a safe app anymore. you can't block more than 1000 blank profiles. I got too comfortable & forgot I had my social up. yikes! Now it's basically another grinder but with less users. and they want me to pay for this?

This is the worst app I have ever had the utter displeasure of using, the first day I had it was great! I made new friends, connections and even set up a date.. then the next day rolled around. I had tried to verify my account, which had been completely denied the first time, despite following their silly prompts. Then when I submitted the second verification photo it went through! but shortly after I found out that the first failed verification had shadowbanned my account! DO NOT USE THIS APP!
