These people are so fuc@ing stupid

These people are so fuc@ing stupid. I live in PA but when I log in with an anonymous profile it blocks all the XXX pics because North Carolina requires age verification. I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA NOT IN NORTH CAROLINA, YOU MORONS!

Way too many fake profiles

Way too many fake profiles. I have blocked at least 150 profiles on this app. It is 99 percent fake profiles. It's astounding how fake this app is. It is next to impossible to chat let alone hook up with a real person. Stay away from it if you can. It's not worth the time.

I’m always frustrated with the guys

I’m always frustrated with the guys. It’s not the app, the app shows you locations but it’s up to the PARTICIPANTS if they are going to engage you or not. MOST PLAY GAMES. This happens on all these apps especially Grindr. What Sniffies and all ALL others is ask, are you serious about engaging or will this be a game for you. ITS THE PARTICIPANTS NOT THE APP! I hate wasting my time and nothing happens. Really?

The location issue is consistent and is…

The location issue is consistent and is never even close to right. I wouldn't have issue with it if it at least got the general location in the city I live in correctly but it consistently places me miles away from the part of the city I live in. I don't drive and was looking for an app that would show me potential meet ups close to where I live. I set all of the app permissions correctly and still it shows me miles off. I have other apps that show my location accurately so it is not an issue with my location services, it is a clear issue with the site. After sending an email to the site I got the token response as though it is my fault their site doesn't properly relate a, at least, relative position in the city. I understand the need for online safety but miles away from where I live makes the site pointless to use.

If I could give this app a half a star…

If I could give this app a half a star I certainly would. I've been using it for more than 3 years off and on and it's been the biggest waste of my time since daytime TV. The app is unstable. It crashes. It does the most bizarre things I can't even go into it. The only thing it doesn't do is furnish favorable results. It laaaaggggs especially when you're trying to chat with someone you'd really like to know. I've had to swipe the window closed, shut off my phone, reboot, clear all app cache and bring up the app again to see if I'll be able to send a message or a photo. It's outrageous! Do you know how many times I've lost an opportunity with people? More than I score I'll tell you that much. Though the app's concept is interesting there is a location randomizer so you don't know whether that person is actually in that location or not. There's spam. There's anonymous profiles. You don't know whether they're bots or scammers or just somebody trying to take you for what they can get. There are bots definitely. In my area if somebody looks like they are off of a magazine cover they do not live here or visit here. And there are several mostly on the weekend. I have messaged each and every one of them with no response whatsoever and I'm not saying that I am good looking enough to receive a response but you would think that odds are you might get something back from at least one or two of them. Nothing. Had a friend message a couple. Nothing. These are bots placed there to intrigue people. To make them think that there are more people out there than they're actually are. I hate this app I really do and I'm going to wipe it clean and out of my agenda. I have no more time to waste on this horrible app. Good luck to everyone who decides to keep using it. God bless ya!

worst customer service ever

worst customer service ever. There is no phone number.

They rejected my credit card for membership renewal. I’ve spent hours on the phone with MasterCard, who told me that sniffy is rejecting my credit card at their point of sale system because the address doesn’t match my credit card.

I’ve been waiting waiting five days to get a response and I’m still waiting

It's nothing but spam

It's nothing but spam. There isn't a single time that I ever log on that I don't get spam and report it. Their solution is to flag ME as spam and not allow me to initiate new messages to anyone because "I must be sending too many messages that are similar." Of COURSE I send similar messages - I have a standard cut and paste greeting, like tons of people do, that I'll use at first contact. THAT'S their sophisticated way of preventing spam? And on top of that, they then closed my paid privileges right after I just had paid to renew them, and didn't even refund me.

Sniffies is spam on top of scam.

The censorship on this app makes me feel like I live in a communist dictator country. You have no right to violate my 1st amendment right to free speech and your terms and services are the most ludicrous things I’ve ever heard of! Most people on your app are on METH and liars, addicts, cheats and creeps are all I’ve found on this hysterically laughable webpage that stops you from saying things like “ i’m
not going to pride this year” or “ no methheads “ or even No prosti’s! The censor ur chats ur profiles *removed message* is constantly popping up I honest don’t even use the app to chat I just end up telling people to text me which you have to get creative to even send a phone number. Straight communist garbage with complete totalitarian control of you, your speech and who / what you get to say and contact. You’re better off with Grindrr and Scruff, save ur time !
