Bloated pile of refuse

I've never had a website fail at loading the main page so much in fact it's so bloated you can't load anything! you go to open a chat it closes everything, takes you to their profile, THEN opens chat. I've never seen any other website take you to their profile and then open the chat usually when you just click on the chat it just opens chat...I can only guess that this is one of the reasons that their website is so f****** bloated it forever loads. Anyhoo this website is completely unusable as is

Site for stalkers

This site is a gold mine for stalkers. If you don’t mind sketchy, disgruntled men knowing where you live, or when you might be away from home, then Sniffies is for you.

Extreme Caution

I'm and I stumbled across this site looking for a normal regular FWB to hang out with occasionally.

Almost every response to my post...broken English, misspelled, words..always vague.

Fake pics and always asking for a face pic.

I tried Sniffies, and it not safe.

Need to rethink sniffies. This app is dangerous

This has to be the dumbest app I have ever seen it is like a group sat in a room and said let's make the most scandalous app possible with no guard rails. Constant harassment from super old men, men begging for cash, not to mention unless you’re hiding your location they can see you right down to what block you’re on. I thought Grindr was bad Grindr makes this look like a cakewalk.

Nobody waits for a response unless it’s an instant convo deleted someone called this the trashy Uber for gay men ordering a man on demand cuz that’s about what sniffies amount too.

Great site! Needs age filter badly!

I overall enjoy the app very much, wish there was more advertising for a larger crowd but still very enjoyable. My only complaint and issue I have found is that there needs to be an age filter for the map...it's unbelievably annoying and such a turn off to see men old enough to be my grandfather naked. I feel it would be an easy integration and much appreciated by all users.

Spam Bots…and more Spam Bots, it gets worse by the day

Don't purchase this app! The app sucks. It is infiltrated with Spam Bots and this seems to be of little or no concern to Sniffies management. To say it's become a nuisance is an understatement. Management asks users to report spam but then nothing comes of it. Also it's not possible to determine if one's profile is being viewed.

Sniffies bogus free membership

Sniffies offers a free membership, which I have, but they have constantly tried to get me to upgrade, by cheap tricks like taking potentials off their map, making it hard to log in, and slowing down any interaction I have on their site. Now they've slowed me down so much that it has made my 'membership' nearly impossible to use. If sniffies offers a free membership, then mean it, and quit bullying folks to upgrade. I don't need the bells and whistles at all, but don't make your site virtually impossible to use as a free member. Just get rid of free memberships i.e. quit wasting my time, and I'll happily move to a site that treats me with respect.

0% positive results from 100% possibilities (not recommended)

This company has so much potential but yet the owners must not have any kind of idea what people really want. Instead of offering a service that is trustworthy and reliable, it is quickly becoming a piece of software that is used tweens to go on and mess with old people. When there is complete anonymity in everything that's happening on the site jenn, you receive a product that is completely void of all purpose. It soon becomes something that's just garbage. This could have been the next big thing like bigger than grinder or any of those other sites and instead it turns out to be just another useless site. Really just awful.

Total Degenerates On Here

I went on this site because I just had to see if it was really as bad as what people I know were saying. It was appalling; I lasted 12 hours. I have never seen a more repulsive group of men in my life. What I found: anonymous profiles galore-a face pic is nearly nonexistent (I found one, he evidently lacked the decency to be ashamed of being on such a hideous site), genital pics are more common but mostly the profiles are totally picless & contain no info about the person at all, cheating married/partnered men are the norm ("bi" guys-wink, wink-all over the place), closet cases aplenty, unsafe sex & drug use are rampant, and the men seem genuinely clueless & indifferent about their health status (HIV, STI). They don't seem to care about possibly transmitting these diseases to their wives, partners or hookup partners.

Street-walking prostitutes have better morals than these men. In fact, chimpanzees have better morals than these guys. Most of the men appear to be psychologically "stuck" in a state of perpetual adolescence when it comes to sexuality. And if you are looking to meet an attractive man, this is not the site for you. Their stats (those that even list them) & lack of face pics tell you what you need to know. Just an estimate, but most of these guys seem to be about 3' tall, weigh 490 lbs, have no teeth & a flat head to set your beer on. Those with no stats.....well, draw your own conclusions. It ain't pretty. How do you meet and have sex with someone before you know what they look like? But they do on Sniffies: in cars, public restrooms, adult bookstores, parks, etc. Most men state they "cannot host". Gee, I wonder why! Truly disgusting people & behavior.

Sniffies is a site for physically unattractive, closeted, psychologically stunted men who can't meet other men IRL. They're cowards & continue to be responsible for preventing gay people from making more significant progress. Sniffies is far worse than Grindr and that is really saying something. I would NEVER recommend meeting up with any of them. They have nothing to offer; they can barely converse. I've read reviews where men have said they got jobs and apartments after meeting someone on this site. LOL Yes, well like attracts like.

The men who use Sniffies DO NOT represent the majority of gay men. THANK GOD! If you are a psychologically healthy, OUT, gay man do not go near this site. These are not men you want in your life. Toxic, stupid, spineless, simpering, dishonest, morbidly obese, grossly unattractive, socially inept, drug abusing men are what you will find. In a way, having a site specifically for the underbelly of the gay community may not be a bad thing. Keep them isolated from the rest of us. I always thought that was what Grindr was for; I was clearly wrong. I do feel badly for the unsuspecting wives/partners of these men, though. How many are unaware they are carrying HIV or some other STI (or even worse, both)? The men on Sniffies are, for the most part, sociopaths. Don't even check out the free version & NEVER pay them a red cent to be exposed to a genuine cesspool of humanity. Sickening. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Not the site it used to be.

The site used to be good when it first started, but once it got more popular all sorts of sketchy behavior started showing up. The anonymous and registered profiles are a joke. Like anyone is going to hook up with someone who doesn't say anything about themselves? I've been hit up by anonymous, underage users which is disturbing. But lately the site is so slow that it takes a long time to compose messages and send them, and use pretty much any function. Worst of all is it seems to have been overrun by chatbots. You can often tell by the syntax they use and the way their responses don't go along with your questions. Seems like a good thing now gone bad.

Lots of illegal activities on the app

The app definitely isn't monitored at all. People posting looking for drugs doing extremely unsafe behavior. Guys begging for cash on the app. Guys looking to eat poop. Guys looking to abuse dogs and animals. I'm seriously surprised this app hasn't been shut down with all the illegal stuff going on. They highly encourage illegal business practices. If you report it. Your account gets banned. The app is absolutely disgusting.
