Scruff

SCRUFF is an international social app for gay, bisexual and transgender men running on iOS and Android devices. The application allows users to upload profiles and photos, and search for other members by location and shared interests.

A safe and reliable social app

Scruff is a safe and reliable social application where gay, bi, trans and queer guys can connect. The application allows friendships, networking, dating and sex without any strings attached. Scruff has been active for almost as long as Grindr has been active, so it has a large user base.

In Scruff you will find guys who are looking for a gay relationship. But that doesn't necessarily mean that it is only for long engagements. Some members are also open to meetings, adventures and even just friendships. Based on the available data, most members come from the United States. Meet users who live in the same region or those who want to meet each other on their travels.

Thanks to geolocation, the home interface displays a grid of user profile images, arranged from the closest to the furthest away. Unlike other applications, a face photo is not necessarily required, but the app will always ask you to describe your photo. As we proceeded with the test, it became clear that this had been done to categorise the accounts. Users can send messages directly to other users or use the application's "Woof" function, which allows users to express their interest in another user's profile.
