The guys on Sniffies are so fake and so shallow that you can't trust any of them. Some are on there to cheat on their wives or their girlfriends. Some are robots. They demand a picture to see what you look like and the majority make fun of a person's profile. You can't get anything on this site except a bunch of bull.

Hands down the worst app ever

Hands down the worst app ever! Customer support is non existent. For 2 weeks it keeps timing out, won’t let me send messages or anything. I reported it numerous times & they say the system thinks I am spam for sending too many messages. It does this when I sent out 1 message or none!! Finally deleted it since it’s not the only game in town!

Not for the Novice

Sniffies is a great idea, so good that the government will probably end up regulating it. The problem with Sniffies is the Anonymous user feature gives Scammers and Doxxers free reign to do whatever they want. They try to get your face pic, phone number, and a screenshot of sexual chat, then will try to blackmail the user. For closeted and downlow users this is a problem but it shouldn't be a problem for guys who are out.

Personally I've had zero luck on this site, but I am into older men too. It's hard to find guy who can keep it up. I didn't have these kinds of problems on Craigslist back in the day.

This isn't the site to use if you want to get to know who you are going to hook up with next. You'll find a lot of guys that just want to come over to your place. There are tons and tons of ugly guys or married guys on Sniffies. I see a lot of guys that claim to be six inches, but they are more like four on a good day.

IMO, Sniffies should eliminate the Anonymous feature and make everyone at least sign up to their site. People will sign up, but they don't tolerate paywalls and limits.

Sniffies.com is positively FILLED with NOTHING OTHER THAN spammers,mscammersmand other fake profiles. Sniffies.com does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to filter out these offenders, nor do they take ANY ACTION WHATSOEVER on restricting ANY reported spam or otherwise fake profiles. Sniffies is FILLED TO THE BRIM with nothing other than; Spam, Fake , FISHING, PROSTITUTION, METH ADDICT EFF'N FREAKS AND ANY LESS UNDESIREABLES. Participant beware with this scam app. It's FAR far far worse than Grindr if you can even imagine that ....

This app is fun but they will ban a profile for role play, (even though they offer that as a tag for interests & role play should be the least of their concerns since they have chem play and public cruising), then customer service will ignore you and keep your money. If you use it don't give them one cent, don't upgrade. Seems sketchy anyway and is impossible to get into touch with a person to address issues.

This is the hook up site for meth addicts

This is the hook up site for meth addicts. There’s a limit on how many accounts you can block. 500 is it & I used that up fast. They do not take down the drug referencing accounts. They also allow anonymous accounts which are rarely filled out with any information whatsoever. I’ve been verbally attacked repeatedly by the same account. Reporting it does no good. Sniffies also has a “spam filter” which doesn’t work well and will automatically remove messages randomly without violating the rules. Gave directions to a buddy & sniffies removed the message claiming rule violation. It was only directions! There’s no appealing anything, no explanation, no customer service. Speaking of spam, the site itself spams you daily with links to related sites. Not sure what type sites bc I won’t click on links like that. But it’s annoying that the spam filter is fine with sniffies spam. You can’t opt out of those messages either. Literally have you by the balls. There’s no amount of money I’d pay to have the extra perks of a paid account.

I use the free version with no problems

I use the free version and have had no problems. I would give it 5 stars if I could load more than one photo, (although you can message them). There aren't many people on in my area, but that is understandable. Those that are, seem to be genuine as a buddy of mine is on there also and our locations shown by our "erect gear" photo bubbles are precise. I have messaged and received them from guys, but the timing or distance has prevented a meeting, but only thus far and I've only been on a few times.

If you are not looking for individuals, there are filters you can engage like "Parks" for instance, which will show up on the map by themselves, or with profile icons. You can click on a location (such as a park) and see where it is, if anyone is there or is going there, and you can post if you are there as well, which will tell members where you are.

I don't think there is a particular age for the site; I've seen from 20 - over 60, but I wouldn't rely on what age people give on most sites. There are ads emailed to your site inbox (not your personal one), but they are not too intrusive and are generally designed to upgrade to a paying account. You can't delete ad messages, but they go away after a short while (then come back, mind you). I got a message for free Prep, so I took advantage of it after making sure it was legit, and it was and I'm getting free Prep now.

Your member messages remain so you can keep in touch if you want, but I don't know for how long. You can message someone you've talked to before even if they are not on. If you get a message you don't like, just delete it and don't waste time responding or being nice; people don't expect that. This site is for instant physical gratification only, so don't try to make it more than it is.

I have used the site infrequently because I want to be ready to go, should an invitation happen. Such an invitation did, but the distance at 4am was a bit far, (25 miles) so I decided not to. That was on me though, but the situation was available and I could tell it was genuine because he gave me the address.

If I'm not ready now, I'm not comfortable being just a spectator on the site because there is no purpose to that and it is a tease to other members, but maybe that's just me. If I go on the site and see a hard one and I want it, I kinda expect that member to be available, so that is my way of thinking and that's the way I am. Whether or not we are each other's type is not the issue here. If you're not ready to get off, don't go on.

Waste of time

The ease of using a free map to find guys was a great idea. The execution of meets is another story. Guys all around you on a map and most are attached and are not free to host. A lot get off texting you and never intend to meet. These guys are flakier than the girls you pay to text and meet. Always text you but then have issue after issue connecting in person. I've been paying 14.00 a month for little return. Even the free version isn't worth your time. Avoid this site at all costs. It's worthless in the end. I deleted my profile forever.

Failing amateurs

There's so much failing on this app that someone is just gonna release the same kind of product without the long load times, the crashes, the unable to uploads, and the whole sniffies app will.jist disappear.

Sniffies user hear, my likes, dislikes criticism and suggestions

Sniffies is a gay Geolcation hookup site that works kind of like Grindr. the only wonderful difference is that it is not strictly app based and its easy and free to use. only features that are Premium membership settings are camera chat, seeing who has deleted or blocked you and to post public adds on the site. Otherwise communication on the site and the upload of pics and creation of your profile are free to use. Downsides the site is still only 4-6 years old so not enough people know about sniffies so they can def. invest in Promoting there site to get more users! When i first got on the site in 2020 i was getting more guys than i knew what to do with but now its trickled off partly bc i think iv slept with most of the men on the site interested in me in my area. Secondly I think since the Pandemic came to a end you have less people sitting at home shut in the house all day, but I still feel the site needs to put there face out there more to get more users.

Another issue is the amount of Anon Profiles and flakes and Spam bots plus the occasional Female who does not seem to understand the site is for gay, Bi, DL men and to a lesser extent trans women and it can be very annoying.
Another annoying thing is you also get REALLY hot guys offering massages for cash advertising. this can be annoying when you are experiencing a slump and there are few guys on and you see a profile of this HOT guy appear and it turns out he's just some dick looking to rub you down for cash. But you can easily report such persons luckily and the site takes such complaints seriously.

Another thing I personally take exception to with sniffies (as well as other websites) is there somewhat intrusive new policy to monitor Private conversations between users and to make shure you are not violating any site rules or breaking the law which I understand. But I feel conversations between users should be Private, I get they are trying to make shure nothing illegal happens and folks respect the content policy but I feel respect of privacy should be given to users and you should not have to worry about big brother watching you ready to pounce at the slightest suggestion of a rule violation but they are not as bad as reddit or other sites in that respect and I hope they remain so. One other criticism I would give the site is I feel they should make it easier to email customer support or give a phone number if you have a issue. they do have a customer support email but it is like looking for a needle in a haystack and unless you know were to find it you would be at a loss as to how to contact anybody directly. But all in all not a bad site it just needs more users is all.
