Our review
★★★☆☆ 3.3
Jack’d built its identity around queer men of color and remains the most diverse of the grid apps. After a serious photo-leak security failure under previous ownership, Perry Street acquired and rebuilt it on their more privacy-careful stack. The community focus is real; the product is now essentially SCRUFF’s sibling.
Pros
- Strong POC queer community
- Rebuilt on privacy-safer infrastructure
- Free core experience
Cons
- Smaller than Grindr
- Past security baggage
- Feature parity lags SCRUFF
