User Reviews

Users praise SCRUFF for its ease of use and feature-rich setup for dating. However, core features are often locked behind subscriptions, Moments is intrusive and unreliable, messaging can be buggy, bans can occur without explanation, and the free version offers limited functionality with privacy concerns.

Pros

Easy to navigate and use (intuitive UI).
Rich feature set for dating and meeting people.
Ads are not overly intrusive.
Long-term users report positive personal connections.

Cons

Core features gated behind paid subscription (blocking, viewing/sharing albums, resending pics).
Moments/stories intrusive and often unreliable; cannot be disabled.
Messaging reliability is poor; messages fail to send or aren't delivered.
Accounts can be banned or blocked without explanation; perceived arbitrary moderation.
Free functionality is heavily limited; paywalls for basic filters/search and privacy concerns due to a global grid exposure.

Recent reviews

For free you can't filter at all, and the distance is too limited. There is not sufficient customer value to justify spending time with this app on a free account; it's not usable for the purpose. Then after checking the pricing for premium, i directly uninstalled it. Ridiculous.
