Sniffies needs to take over Grindr. Grindr has too many ads and punishes you for using the app e.g. blocking people to clean your grid. Meanwhile sniffies has a lot of features even for free version. If I was in an urban area I definitely think the subscription is worth it, because you are also supporting a small business (in my eyes anyway)

What is annoying is the amount of catfish and flakes, not much the designers can do about that though. There's a lot of OF creators on the app lol

Since you woke up this topic I started...
Sniffies and I have come a long way since then. Learned to block a lot of profiles. Have connected using it multiple times. But the best results for me were using it as a road map at a cruise area. If I'm at a park that's known for cruising on Sniffies, it simplifies the meetups. I post I'm there. Someone posts that they are there as well. I check his profile... Perhaps he checks mine. One or the other dm's they are interested. Bingo.

Today was my first cat fishing day... I get park and say I'm there. Another profile posts they are there. The profile pic is of a really nice looking cock in a car situation. He dm's me to meet him in the back by the restrooms. I walk there and sit at a bench nearby (it's afternoon and sunny). Says he's coming up the walk... I see one of the regular homeless folks that hang there with a cell phone. No one else is around... I block and walk away. Now I have to kind of laugh about it now.

Lol! But to be honest... I've done ok using the app up till then. I'm holding out for a while to see if he revolving cast of characters in my area rotates out. Everyone is a bottom too!

When I am traveling for work, horny in hotel, I will check snif, Grindr or squirt to find some cock. Squirt has been the best usually. I don't respond to blank, anonymous, no stat listings at all.

Just noticed yesterday that Sniffies is now changing it's game with reducing the radius one can search. Looks to be reduced now to about 7 miles from one's current location. Hmm...

I noticed the same thing, kind of a bummer. I live in a metropolis area that is bigger than 7 miles.

I did find that I can still click on out of bounds cruising locations though to see if it's active. And since I can never host, it still works for my situation. Here in LA the weather is always conducive to cruising outdoors or quiet parking lots.

Reddit is amazing..you can always find bi curious men there

True. But for me in the discreet short notice situation... Sniffies is the easiest with the least amount of back and forth.

Well... Spoke too soon. Looks like Sniffies just reduced it to 5 miles... Man, guess they are forcing paid memberships next.

Is this what the blue circle is? If that's what it is then my range actually increased. I wonder if it's population based? My range looks to be 35/40 miles.

Yes I think so. I was looking up folks comments about it on Redditt. Seems the more populated... The smaller the circle. I'm in a suburb of LA, so mine's about 7 miles. It was about 20 miles before the boundary circle "feature" was activated. It's not too much different for me. There is a little hack though: If a cruiser posts his profile on a cruising locating within your circle (whether he''s there or not and way outside your circle..), you can still check his stats and chat with them.

Is there any alternative for sniffies? Looking for a hookup app that is available on web browser, without downloading any app.
I saw that grinder can work on browser, but you still need the app to be downloaded first (wtf).

Anything else?

Yes, and grinder on a PC you need a membership. There's squirt, you can do a trial and when you add pics they extend your trial and if you contact customer service I said I wanted to delete my account they offered me a promo code to for a month free. But that site wasn't as good as sniffies the guys on there were much older.

I've tried adam4adam that has a website. My experience was pretty good of course you get scammers and people contacting you from miles out of your area but that's any app right!

Yes! And you can still check places and groups and contact users that out of your range.
Do you get a lot of spam, I get so many people sending me links to bogus websites. And there doesn't seem to be any point to block/report cause it's constantly. This app use to be so much better.

I'm shocked to see there on the app store and I heard soon going to be on Android.

Yes, the spam thing is annoying. But I only get one or two when I first log in. Sometimes block... Sometimes report.

I think they modified app so that if you have a PG rated profile pic first... They're allowed on app stores. That was the issue. Me..? I prefer the web version discreetness. ;-)

Same here! I feel it's secure, I never understand why people rather chat on snap.
