How to register on Scruff

When you first download the app, before registering, you must allow Scruff to see your location. Once you’ve done so, click on Create Profile. You’ll need to input your birthday, a profile photo, and your email address. That’s all there is to it – the app will open up right away and you can use it immediately.

Scruff review: features and functionalities

Scruff has some pretty great features: although it may have fewer options of things to do on the app than some websites such as GayTryst (read our full GaysTryst review too), it’s definitely not boring. Some features are totally available to all users, and some are only for paid users, or are limited for free users and unlimited for paid users. Here’s a look at some of my favourite features from the app:

Scruff Events

The first feature I’d like to mention is Scruff Events : this is a really fun way to keep up to date with any LGBTQ event, such as parades, parties, and queer festivals in your area. Scruff is the only gay hookup app to have such a feature, and it’s something I personally really enjoyed. I was able to keep up to date with a bunch of fun stuff happening in my area.

Scruff Review: match feature

The “Match” feature on Scruff is similar to Tinder or Bumble or any other basic dating app: simply swipe left or right to select whether someone interests you or not, and if you both swipe right on each other, the app will match you, so you can start chatting straight away! This feature is available for both free and paid accounts.

“Woofs”

“Woofing” is the Scruff way to send a quick like. As we already mentioned earlier, you can send guys that catch your eye a little “woof” instead of sending the first message. This way, you don’t have to come up with a smart one-liner to get conversation flowing!

We couldn’t do a full Scruff review without discussing the community. As you may know, Scruff has one of the biggest online communities of gay men of any hookup app, so let’s have a look at the kind of men you can expect to match with on Scruff.

While I was swiping through men on Scruff, I was particularly shocked to see how varied the guys were. I used barely any filters, so I could see the full scope of men on the app, and there was certainly something for everyone. I matched with men of all ages, ethnicities and styles, with the main point being that most of them were hot and horny!

These men were also pretty good Cupons de braand at getting the ball rolling: I send a bunch of woofs to a bunch of different guys, and every single one of them sent me a message afterwards! They were not shy, and had no issue starting fun conversations and keeping them going.

All in all I’d say the men on Scruff are more looking for hookups than partners, and I had a lot of success finding hot guys to sext, but not many dates.

Scruff accounts & prices

Next up in my Scruff review, it’s important to go over what you can expect to get from a free Scruff account vs a paid one, and how much you’ll be set back a month to keep a Scruff pro account.

Scruff, as you may know, has two different account options: Scruff basic and Scruff Pro. Scruff Pro has loads of cool features that aren’t available from a free account, such as:
