Bumble: Dating & Friends App App Description & Overview

What is bumble: dating & friends app app? Millions of people have signed up for Bumble to start building valuable relationships, finding friends, and making empowered connections. And now, we’ve been named one of Apple’s 2021 Apps of the Year for connection.
Creating new connections has never been easier. Bumble is working to lift the stigma of online dating by employing unprecedented standards for respectful behavior. Because of this relentless dedication, millions of people are using Bumble to build valuable relationships every single day.

DATING, FRIENDS & NETWORKING

Bumble is at the forefront of matchmaking technology by providing an app that allows users to foster more than just romantic connections. The industry-leading app empowers users to swipe through potential connections across three different modes:

- Bumble Date: On Bumble Date, women make the first move. We’ve changed the archaic rules of the dating game so that you can form meaningful relationships in a respectful way.

- Bumble BFF: Life is better with friends. Whether you’re new to a city or looking to expand your circle, Bumble BFF is the easiest way to make new friends.

- Bumble Bizz: Now we’re in business. Use Bumble Bizz to network, find mentors, and create new career opportunities.


Bumble is the first app of its kind to bring dating, friend-finding, and career-building into a single social networking platform.

CHANGING THE RULES OF THE GAME

At Bumble, women make the first move. In heterosexual matches, the woman has 24 hours to make the first move and the man has 24 hours to respond. In same-sex matches, either person has 24 hours to make the first move, while the other individual has 24 hours to respond, or else, the connection expires. By prompting our users to be bold and make the first move we’ve seen over 3 billion messages sent to date.

THE BUZZ IS REAL

“Bumble exists to empower women...” (Fast Company)
“Bumble is just an app: but it’s changing the discussion.” (Wired)
“Bumble offers an alternative that prioritises meaningful connections, with women calling the shots:” (UK Sunday Times)
“Bumble rejects hate speech to make users feel safe on its dating app” (Texas Standard)
“What makes Bumble different from other dating apps...is its focus on giving women all the power. ” (Business Insider)

Gender settings are nice, but a bit weird.. This app is overall okay. I like that they have a lot of options on things you can add to your profile, but their monthly price is really high. $40 for basically one month, and $20 for a week, just so you can see people who have swiped on you or even to just filter things such as height preference. But what really gets me here, is the way they handle gender identity and how they categorize it. I’m a trans male, who’s interested in women, and I’ve had no problems in my past with dating women. But if I change my gender identity to “trans man” on this app and set my preference as “women” my feed is changed to nothing but other women who are interested in women, or people looking for “poly” relationships. I don’t think I’m quite what lesbians are looking for bumble? But once I set my gender back to “male” I’m brought back to women who are interested in men. So I have no choice but to just put “male” and then that I’m “trans” in my bio. So maybe something needs to be changed about that? Why should I feel that I’m less of a man on this app? I get that you try and pair “lgbtq+” with others in that same category, but make it make sense. If I say I’m “straight” I should only be seeing what my preference is. If others choose to not like me because I’m trans, let them make that decision.

The worst dating app I’ve ever used.. I find it very odd that every guy I’ve matched has either never talked or we start talking and I suddenly never hear back from them again. I’ve only exchanged numbers with two guys on this app and one suddenly disappears after we talked all night and he agreed to take me surfing and the other guy stops talking. All the guys I’ve matched with stop talking mid conversation this has happened 100 percent of the time. I’ve had at least 12+ matches and have been using this app for about a week, I’d say I’m a very attractive woman and have never had problems getting a date so I find it odd that this has happened every single time. The Bumble Bff does this as well but not as badly so I’ve stopped using the dating side of Bumble as it’s super suspect and I haven’t had any success with any of the guys I’ve matched with. I also think their are quite a few fake profiles as well but seeing all the bad reviews I’m starting to believe this app is just trying to get you to spend money as it takes so many swipes just to see whose liked you. Mine said I had 50+ likes and it stayed that way because Bumble won’t reveal even one of them for a very long time unless you pay for an upgrade. I find it odd that I can’t match with any rally handsome guys on the app but when I go out I attract good looking guys all the time. Anyways I just wanted everyone to know my experience. It’s not you, it’s this app.

Feel Unsafe. There’s an individual on here who does work in my neighborhood and has come onto me in a way that made me highly uncomfortable. He leers at me every time he’s around. I have blocked him on bumble only to see he has popped up since I blocked him about 7 more times!!!!!!! In addition to this, in June I sent a Twitter DM to inquire about the free boost trial. They told me they were having issues with boost and they would manually apply it to my account. I had about 1,000 profiles to scroll through and I had gotten through about 25 and without changing any preferences, while I was in the middle of looking at the bumble Match Queue, my ENTIRE queue disappeared! There were a few accounts I saved to look at better later and hundreds I hadn’t even seen that disappeared in a flash. I wrote them on Twitter and the bumble rep was less than helpful and it got to the point where they were just rude. Later I told them I wanted the boost removed from my account completely but was told they cannot do that. Since the time Boost was manually applied by them it rendered that whole match queue area useless. The trial has expired; it never worked anyway, but now even the blurred out profiles are gone. I’ll have guys who “super like” me that don’t show up in the queue as blurred out profiles. Bumble used to be a good app. The boost thing was just an annoyance but now that I feel unsafe with the block feature not working, I had to write a review and disable my account.

Fixing what’s not broken. I’ve used bumble for about 2 years now and have even managed to meet one of my ex girlfriends on there. Additionally, I think the fundamental aspect of having the woman strike up conversation first is a HUGE bonus, when you consider how unlikely it is for them to do so on other apps. HOWEVER, the company is going in a greedy direction, starting with two significant features: the amount of swipes and the reverse button (if you accidentally swiped left). In the last 6 months or so Bumble has significantly reduced your amount of swipes, which is of course a far more important issue for your average man than woman. Most of these other apps that I’ve used employ this feature of limited swipes, but Bumble used to give you so many more swipes (it might’ve been unlimited) nowadays I‘ll swipe on like 25 people before running out and having to wait a day? My matches have significantly dropped and it’s almost pointless to have this app because it’s just like all the other ones now. The aforementioned features are what made it different (and better!), but it seems like they want you to pay for them now, which is understandable (paying more for more services) but how does it differentiate from the myriad of other apps that have saturated the market? I don’t know. Personally, it’s not enough of an incentive to keep this spacious app on my phone.

Barbaric & unprofessional treatment by Bumble. Bumble unprofessionally and un-provokingly blocked and banned my account. I contacted bumble to gain clarity on this and they’ve refused to explain the reason behind the barbaric treatment and sent me a link to their guidelines which are not specific enough to understand why they’ve treated me so poorly. I’ve thoroughly read through the guidelines, and adhere to them all. I meet the required age, I use my own appropriate photographs and I meet all content and conduct guidelines as well as all other bumble guidelines. I am beginning to think my profile may have been hacked as my phone was misplaced over the last week and I do not have a password on it. Bumble refusing to tell me what the specific issue is/was makes it impossible to be able to effectively appeal or be given a chance to explain any mishaps. Previous behavior is a good indicator of future behavior, as I mentioned above, I have been a successful Bumble user without issues on and off for multiple years now in multiple cities, without issue and the company should take this into consideration. I have recently not done anything differently than I have in the past and have totally adhered to all Bumble required guidelines, leading me to believe that perhaps my account was hacked or mishandled by someone other than myself when being outside of my possession (unknowingly to myself.) I do not deserve this barbaric and unprofessional treatment.

User-friendly and safe. Who likes dating apps? Not me, because it feels like I’m shopping for a person and putting myself on a market (which is really what dating apps are for, obviously). However, with the free version, you can send messages to matches (they have 24 hours to respond) and you have unlimited messages once you match. In addition, Bumble adapts. I actually like that they changed it to only allowing you to view/like a few people at a time — it helps keep you logging in, so you maybe won’t miss messages with/from matches. A downside to this change, though, is that I always have, like, 50 likes (most of them I won’t like back because we’re clearly incompatible in some way), and it’s going to take longer to make matches with those likes. But, anything good takes time… so, I guess that makes sense. Bumble is doing alright — with BFF (helpful when you’ve moved to a new state!) and with Date. If I’m going to pay for a dating app, I wouldn’t mind paying them to upgrade (versus others so far tried that like to limit everything you do until you pay for it, and limit to extreme lengths). If a free version says a lot about an app (which is generally true), the free version of this one is effective and user-friendly.

Bumble is like the cancer industry. Bumble thrives on the loneliness of people and if they genuinely cared about match making and did so properly, they’d eventually not have as many paying users. Therefore, it’s in their best interest to actually stifle your success at finding someone. With that said, they have a plethora of paid tiers all aimed at getting you SLIGHTLY closer at meeting someone, but there’s also some other service you gotta buy: boosting your profile, unlimited swipes, leaving complements, etc. One night I wanna a bet with a friend and had some extra cash and decided to give bumble premium a try. I thought that with the ability to swipe unlimited, for SURE I’d make a good number of connections—WRONG. At one point it got so ridiculous, I stopped reading profiles and just mindlessly swiped just to test my theory that their algorithms were actually geared towards preventing me matching with people. Unsurprisingly, even after quite possibly HUNDREDS of swipes, I got maybe 2 matched, no lie. Either I’m that ugly of a dude (which I don’t think so since I match reasonably well on other apps) or they’re putting me in some kind of queue that, unless you pay for their “boosting” service, you won’t be seen ever. Don’t buy premium, in fact don’t pay for anything on this app, it’ll be a waste of your money. I won’t be buying premium again, stupidest waste of money.

Bad Customer Service. I was swiping on Bumble when a notification to be in the spotlight popped up on my phone. Not realizing it, I accidentally clicked on the package and tried to exit out. It was then that the payment screen came up and when I was trying to click the button to exit, it quickly accepted my fingerprint for payment. I quickly notified Bumble and got a generic response from “Mike” from the “Bumble Feedback Team” saying sorry it’s in the terms that we can’t refund your purchase. I emailed him back that I’m trying to pay for school and was recently laid off and I could really use the money. He quickly got back to me with the SAME EXACT generic email saying sorry it’s in the terms. It’s obvious that he doesn’t care and so I emailed him. I understand, but accidents happen. Please make the exception. He hasn’t emailed me back. Bumble is this how you train your employees? You pay them to send generic, careless emails to your users? You write in your email to please provide us with feedback as we’re always looking to improve. How about you go the extra mile with your customer service and show that you actually care about the service you are providing to the users and not just money grabbing. Keep employees like “Mike” from the “Bumble Feedback Team”! It’s clear he doesn’t have pride in the company he works for and the job that he does for you. Judging by the way you handle your customers, I can understand why.

Banned for no reason. I used Bumble for a long time, never had any problems. As far as I know, I followed all the rules. Out of the blue I got banned with no warning or explanation or anyway to get any recourse. That was after I paid for the premium service and I got no refund. Avoid this app. They ban people for no reason, or likely based on the lies of people you reject. Don’t waste your money. I tried emailing them several times for an explanation and got nothing. Terrible customer service. Their terms of service say that you are not entitled to a refund if you break their rules. I did not break any of their rules and yet I was canceled without a refund. Until they can figure out how to circumvent bans based on revenge reports, or false reports I would advise everyone to avoid this app. They say that they don’t ban people arbitrarily, but based on my experience and what I’ve read from other people, they ban people over flimsy or even fabricated reports. Anyone can literally submit a report accusing someone of bad offline behavior. Bumble makes no effort to verify or follow up, they just ban. It’s a joke. The policy should be that if you get banned without a warning then you get your money back. Otherwise it’s just a scam; they take your money but can decide to deny you their service without a refund for any reason they decide. Thats practically fraud.

A thoroughly miserable, exploitative experience for men. I'd say half the profiles are zombie accoumts of women who have zero intention of dating you and just want to add followers to their Instagram accounts or promote their businesses. I know this because I came across three profiles of friends who I know for a fact are not available. And how do you know your profile is being shown to people? You have no way of knowing. There is zero transparency. So there you are, right-swiping hundreds of lovelies with hopes high and fingers crossed, and you'll never know if tney even saw you. What the app is exceptionally good at is extracting money from you in a series of scammy, unverifiable gimmicks that prey on your vulnerabilities. "Boost" your profile for $2-4 to be seen by more people for 30 whole minutes! What, are you saying you weren't showing my profile before?! "Super-swipe" at $1-3 a pop so she may or may not take notice of you! Their exploitation of human weaknesses at our moments of greatest vulnerability - e.g loneliness and rejection - is masterful and deeply sinister. Finally, gentlemen (and ladies), remember that all these dating apps only make money while you're still on them. So their incentive to make more money is fundamentally misaligned with yours, which is to find a decent match so you can leave the app. Go meet real people through real friends, and save yourself a crapton of money, headache and heartache. Bumble is not your friend.

Really bad app.. When will they figure out how to make swiping work? Literally just scrolling very slowly and suddenly it likes a person. Or often the reason I’m scrolling is someone caught my eye and I want a closer look. Swiped no out of nowhere without swiping no! Horrible. When you’re at the end of a instagram feed and you try swiping to the next page it swipes no. They didn’t think that one through. You have to click the last pic then swipe the no aka left to see the next pics. Literally only Bumble has problems with the most basic part of a dating app that they all offer. Okay so don’t get me started on the actual purpose of the app; dating. That aspect is imbecilic, girls have to talk and wont. They’ll give out their details and you say so what happened? Oh I don’t check it when I match. Okay but you literally don’t understand the app. Useless app for that. My real complaint is purely as an app. It’s really bad. Name one other app where simply scrolling randomly changes to the next or previous page out of nowhere. It’s frustratingly broken. Even being super cautious. And for years now. If y’all can’t make the app work rewinding swipes should just be available for like/dislike. Like hey somehow we’re the only app that can’t get the basic function of scrolling to work literally the most important part. But we’ll sell you a very expensive bandaid to wrap around the glitch while hiding people to swipe on every 5 people for the day. Yeah weird advertisement guys.

Can't Match/Guys Are Lazy. I'm going to make this short and simple. I've been on this app like five times before, and although I've met some incredible people and had some great times, I say that online dating is risky. It's for people who are lonely for some specific reason and want company, but don't necessarily want to date. That's not the apps fault, but I just want anyone who's reading this to know that if things don't work out it's not you, it's just online dating. Now on to technical issues and the men on there. I've logged on with my Facebook, and I put ton of care into my bio, even putting attractive photos and I haven't matched with anyone. I know how this sounds lol but I honestly think my phone or the app is broken (at least for my profile). I tested this my liking a whole bunch of profiles, even guys I'm not interested in (or dtf guys) and still nothing. It's been three days! Not one like. It's kinda peculiar. When I was on here before, within 24 hours there would be tons of matches, but now it's not working. Also, I think bumble should allow both parties to message first because it's too much pressure on me to always message first and then sometimes get nothing, because the dude believes he has to be chased and sold. It's weird. In conclusion, I'm going to try tinder.

thank you bumble💛. bumble was my last shot at finding someone who was looking for the same kind of relationship as me. I was looking for something long term, and none of the other apps I tried seemed to have an option for that. With bumble, not only was this an option, but I found my perfect match. Every day I’m grateful that bumble exists for this reason. I do not have the app anymore for obvious reasons, but I recommend it highly to anyone who is looking to find a real, loving and healthy relationship. Most dating apps are set up for hookups and such. With bumble this is not the case if you don’t want it to be. I love the idea of the girl talking first too. As a girl, this does make things a little awkward, but it helps to be the one making the first move. As in other dating apps, guys typically hit girls with pickup lines or flat out ask if they want to hook up. I felt like I could explain what I was looking for so much easier with bumble. My personal trainer had recommended it to me after he found his now wife on the app. I’m so glad he told me about it. Me and my boyfriend have been together for 8 months now, and are planning on a long happy future together. Thank you bumble, from the bottom of my heart💛

Can’t find my home town. First off I can find my home town in the app, I live and grew up in a Small town in Ohio and I can find it therefore I cannot complete my profile. That means I can’t get the 100% and it drives me nuts. Also I don’t understand why y’all need to include our political views as an option on our pages. This country is divide enough as is and having the fact that I am a republican on my page is only gonna drive people who don’t know me away, and I ain’t gonna lie and not say what I am. In today’s political climate someone may look at my page and see the word “Conservative” and think “well if he is an conservative he must be a racist” that is gonna severely affect my matches, also why not include more than just Liberal,Moderate, and conservative. You can’t just generalize all people into three categories Far left, Far right, or Middle (I do understand it makes it simple though) because I am not any of the options. Given these options to us will only push us farther apart when the left and right need to do is come together. And pushing us apart is what in fact will happen with this app because of the fact it has a such a large user base.

Great Concept, Great App!. First of all, how great is it that you can now find a date, friends, and a business partner all in one app?! I can’t speak from a guy’s perspective, but having had this app for almost 2 years, I can say that it’s an absolute game changer. I love the concept that ladies get the first move, which as an introvert, I have come to appreciate; It has taught me to be brave and creative when starting conversations with strangers lol. It seems like most people on here are genuine, although I do wish there was just a bit more diversity. I love the time limit concept on the matches, it’s quite ingenious. It creates a sense of urgency which is great but also has its cons. The app itself is smooth and very user friendly, plus the no limits on swiping is just the icing on the cake. If you don’t have a paid subscription however, which allows you to see everyone that swiped right on you (amongst other great perks I’m sure), it can be easy to waste a lot of time on the app just swiping. They also notify users with cute little positive messages and tips every so often and I love it. I haven’t had any major problems with the app, but I have met some pretty cool people, so don’t sleep on bumble ya’ll 💯

Honest Review About Bumble. Through my 2 year experience with the app, I’d like to give me truthfully and honest opinion about the app. First off I give it a 3 star because this app doesn’t care about weather or not you find someone. At one point it did but now it’s turned into a “pay to play” app, which is unfortunate considering how much bumble pushes and promotes finding “the one” through them. Number 2 bumble has a simple algorithm: we give you a limited amount of swipes, we’ll have 2 “mock” profiles shoot you likes but you won’t get to see them nor be able to like them back. Oh no you ran out of swipes? Well simple pay us for premium and you’ll get all the benefits except the two profiles that liked you won’t text you within the 24 hour period we give them to text you. Now for the rest of the time you have premium you’ll have all the benefits but won’t reap the reward of finding someone. Very simple algorithm to understand and it amazes me how the app will consistently continue to make you believe that you’ll eventually find a match. So inclusion if you are going to spend money on a dating app, go to Tinder; because at least there, they won’t sell you a bunch of lies to keep you on there.

Pay, pay, pay to use bumble. I haven’t had much luck with this app, mostly because you have to pay to do most things. Want to leave a comment? Pay. Want to extend a match past 24 hours? Pay. Want to see who likes you? Pay. Want more than 20 likes a day? Pay. Want people to actually see your profile? Pay. Want to use filters for your search? Pay And not a little either, as much as $30 per WEEK. If you don’t respond to your match within 24 hours (you know, if you have any kind of life and aren’t glued to your phone), the match will expire and, you guessed it, you have to pay. You even have to pay just to say “nice smile.” Just way too much to pay with all of the quality free apps out there. Another huge concern if their “right” to take your info and photos and do anything with them that they please, including selling the info/photos. Their opt out option seems full of odd and manipulative legal-ese. EDIT: I’ve deleted this app. It’s terrible. I have a life other than bumble, so I’m done with their “24 hour rule” which, of course, you can PAY to get around this rule they say is “so important.” If it’s so important, why can you pay to defeat it? I’m also deleting because I’m traveling. I’m not looking for a hookup, and I want to keep my location in my hometown. If I want to do that however, guess what? I have to pay. To heck with this terrible greedy company. Take other sucker’s money, you’ll never get any of mine. Hinge, OkCupid, and even Tinder (even TINDER.)

Used to be Better - New limits kinda killed it. I started using this app right around 2016 and had a decent amount of luck on it. I think back then there was a limit of 100 swipes per day or more. What I understand is that while the free version needs to limit the swipes to monetize, the experience as a straight male suffers as a result. It’s not that I think the limit on males is really a problem, but it’s the limit for women that makes the experience worse. Let’s say I pay for premium (I once considered lifetime which I’m not sure is an option anymore?). Sure, I’d get unlimited swipes, but any women using the free version still get 25/day, so this will make the smaller population pickier which just hurts everyone. Idk for sure, but I’m willing to bet the population that pays most are straight men. Maybe consider increasing the free limit for just women to 50+/day? The way I see it, it would create a ripple, men have more potential matches, more incentive to subscribe, and women feel less concerned to only pick 25 per day. From my perspective, I’m never going to subscribe if 2/350 match when it used to be 5/100 or so. Why would I pay to swipe through 100 people a day if it means less than 1 per day match and 1/500 start the conversation?

The solution to dating apps (please read and hear me out). I’ve seen a lot of videos on dating apps and I feel like there’s a lot of downsides to using this app and I think it’s clear why these apps are not working as planned. The act of socializing is not locked in like how it’s like in work spaces and it’s clear people are very shallow with who they speak to. One solution I see is to give penalties and time out people that actively ghost people they match. This will encourage more interaction with the app than to keep scrolling till you find your idea imaginary person(THIS GOES FOR EVERY DATING APPS). My next solution! Favor people that actually want to a relationship/ something serious! These dating apps are becoming another game apps for hook ups for the majority while other want to find a life time partner. It defeats the purpose of the apps entirely. It’s just a game of looks and value. That’s not how it should work. My last solution! these are big app but can’t encourage or host singles event to promote the apps cause the dating apps are just to give you wishful thoughts. Events like these can break a social barrier that not everyone gets a chance go through cause you make it so easy for other to ignore what they could actually have with high value people that uses the app just to find a quick trill. Maybe these solutions can actually make dating apps better but I’m just a guy that haven’t gotten a actual match since I downloaded it

Sus. I don’t know what it is about Bumble- if it’s the fact that women start the conversation, causing them to use it less, or a lack of use relative to other dating apps, or the algorithm for non-paying users- but in the month I have had it I haven’t had a single match. And I’m not saying this as a bummed out nerd who is taking their lack of female attention out on the app itself; I use just about every other dating platform and get consistent likes/matches. It makes me think that users who don’t pay suffer when it comes to views, but I’m not willing to pay the INSANE amount of money they are asking to test that theory. They could easily offer a lower tier of premium with the use of ad revenue, rather than banking that users will pay the exorbitant amount of money required to get your profile out there - and that goes for all dating apps. This no doubt causes users to lose faith in the app, or the process in general, and it’s not a sustainable business model. It’s a bummer, too, I honestly like the idea of women starting the conversation and I’m sure it’s a welcome breath of fresh air for them, not constantly being bombarded by creepy dudes all day long. I also like the profile structure (apart from the MEGA cheesy prompt selection). Maybe one day I’ll try paying for a month to see if that makes a difference, but for the time being, Hinge and Tinder seem to be working 🤷🏻‍♂️

High volume, low fun. I like the interface and the chat options. That's about it. I use the service because everyone else is here. What I dislike the most is how the chat history disappears when the connection is unmatched. If someone actually wanted to be an adult and end the convo maturely it'll all be for nothing because the other person will never see the last message. Bumble makes everyone ghosters. What if someone wanted to say, "hey I'm getting off here text me at ......" then unmatches everyone cause they don't know what happens on the other end... we'd never know! Second, also in the realm of ghosting, I dislike the 24 hour response window. I'm trying to match with quality men and I don't expect any to log in and respond everyday on a dating app. That means the most valuable matches are risked being lost; forever. These things make the experience very disappointing. Then there are other nuances like auto sending a gif. Or not being able to swipe back to the chat list (instead it initiated the reply function, so annoying). And alerting the other party of you playing the question game... Real smooth Bumble. Please get rid of the timer and deleting the full chat history. If anything change to a fun response if someone responds in the first 24 hours and only removing the chat typing box after an unmatch.

Hate this app. Deceiving in their pricing. I initially signed up for what I thought was a week trial of $9.99 for the week. Turned out it was actually a 6 month subscription for $80 that was automatically paid through my ITunes. When I saw the charge in my checking account I was shocked & tried to cancel but was told it wasn’t possible because of the way I paid. I don’t recall having the option to choose the way I paid, it was like it just automatically pulled from there because that’s what was set up on my phone. I immediately went in to cancel the membership from my phone so it wouldn’t renew in 6 months. I guess it needs to be cancelled while signed into my account from a computer because it ended up automatically renewing at another $80 for 6 months. If I was getting decent matches, it would be ok, but seems like this app isn’t used much by a lot of decent men in my area. When I travel, I get swarmed by hits, but long distance relationships don’t work for me. I also don’t like that they only have 24 hours to respond. So unless you are married to your phone & have nothing else better to do than check this app constantly, those likes are gone to never being even again. Life gets busy & sometimes you just don’t have time or cell/wi-fi coverage to constantly see who wants to connect. I would give this app zero stars, but that wasn’t an option.

They want you to be lonely. This app (in my case at least) will only show your profile to good potential matches if you pay for premium. I got a month of premium to see if it would make a difference, I got more matches but they were definitely bots as I would either get no response or a super generic “Hi” or “Hey”. I stopped using and paying for premium and it seemid like the app punished me for that. I got fewer to no matches and I was actively swiping, and not to be cocky but I know I’m good looking and get matches. On hinge I literally have over 200 matches so I know this algorithm is heavily rigged. This app thrives on peoples loneliness and take advantage of it and it’s truely despicable. Other apps like Hinge are better because anyone can make the first move and you don’t have to pay to write a compliment. On Hinge I’ve met around over 14 people in real life but on bumble it’s only been 1, and that one person pretty much treated me like a piece of meet so overall Bumble is the worst/greediest dating app of all time. Lately all of my “potential matches” are trans women and gay guys which I absolutely am not attracted to, it’s not my preference but Bumble doesn’t care as they keep doing it. I’ve messaged them multiple times about it and they literally don’t do anything or they tell me to contact support, so redundant. PEOPLE RELY ON THE APP WHETHER THEY WANT TO OR NOT SO “HEY BUMBLE, YOU GUYS NEED TO DO BETTER”!!!!!!!!!

A Joke. I have been using Bumble for YEARS and have never had any issues with the app itself. I am mid conversation with someone I am finally hitting it off with, and I go to open the app AFTER IT NOTIFIES ME THAT HE REPLIED, to find the screen that wants you to make an account. No big deal. Maybe a glitch. So I try to long back in using Apple and it is asking me to create a new account, implying the one I was using just moment before no longer exists. So I try to log in via phone number to find out I have been banned for "either buying or selling." Even after reading the User Agreement I have no idea what that means, all I know is that I've never tried to buy or sell a single thing in the, again, years, that I've been on this app. So I googled it to see what the issue was and everything I read stated there would be an email or some kind of warning that my account was being deleted/banned. I got neither. I very much understand and appreciate the safety measures put in place to ensure we're all in good hands using dating platforms like this, but I personally think that this was ridiculous. Now, not only do I not get to move forward with someone I was hitting it off with 2 seconds before I no longer had an account, but I was also PAYING A SUBSCRIPTION that I won't be getting my money back for. And this isn't even something I can appeal. What a disappointment and what turns out to be a waste of my money over the years.

Can be good, but it’s not for everyone.. In my past experiences with this app, I’ve met a handful of people, and most of my dates. The key thing to getting a decent amount of matches is great pics and a great bio (traditionally known). Although, it may still be hard to get even one match because people commonly have busy lives, hence don’t check their Bumble. Others just won’t care and will ghost you. But, who am I to judge? I personally prefer to meet people in person, as it’s the old fashioned way. I believe Bumble is one of the best, if not the best app to meet new people. I’ve personally had numerous accounts with Bumble after deleting and reinstalling it SO many times. One thing that discourages me is that there can be so many attractive people in your area but not only is it possible to not have likes, but just to get noticed I feel like you have to buy spotlight. I definitely feel like it’s way easier for women to get matches compared to men, but I may also be wrong. Unless you are an EXPERT with patience, and you only have an interaction here and there, I think it’s best to meet people in person. I know we live in a digital world, but still don’t believe dating apps are for everyone. My advice, try the app. If it bears good fruit, God bless. If it doesn’t, stay away.

Fraudulent Company and App. Despite official answers to the contrary, Bumble absolutely does "shadow ban." By not banning outright, this allows them to take your money and not be held accountable. Tinder has done this for a long time, and I suspect there is not only a back-channel sharing a blacklist amongst all Match-owned sites but also industry-wide. Reports against your profile (credible or not) are never properly investigated; anything at all will do as long as you are male, especially white, to justify adding you to a list to ensure your profile will never get shown to others. They track everything... email, phone, billing information, wireless networks, photo hashes. And now they use AI to retarget in case you use different photos or alter another to change the hash. The point is, once you are on this list, even if you change phones, emails addresses, short of plastic surgery, you will continue to be shadow banned across all platforms. Conspiracy? Yes. Fraudulent due to them continuing to take money with the customer expectation they will receive the same service ad everyone else? Absolutely. One day all of this will be exposed, but it won't happen any time soon. Save your money and find some other means to make connections. You will not find them on this app and especially any Match-owned one. The blacklist is real. Shadow banning is real, and Bumble's continued lie that it does not practice it becomes laughable once one starts using the app.

Not bad, but needs work. This app is good for meeting new people, however, it’s kinda unfair to use. What I mean by this is that if you end up liking someone or someone (or that person) likes you, in order for you to see who that is or for it to be an official match, you must pay $18 just to see who they are that liked you, which is really unnecessary and expensive if all you’re trying to do is meet someone, and god forbid it’s someone you don’t find interesting or doesn’t match your personality, then you’d end up just blowing $18 for no reason when the whole point was just to meet someone YOU thought was perfect for you. And on top of that, the women have to make the first move (which isn’t necessarily a bad thing), but some don’t make a move at all after matching (from what I experienced). So it then makes it unclear as to whether they even meant to do that in the first place or not, and since I (a male) can’t say anything first, I’m just left in the dark as to why I haven’t heard from anyone cause I can’t say anything to confirm if she’s willing to meet. Im not trying to complain or say it’s a bad app or anything cause it actually does what it’s supposed to do, but I’m just pointing out the flaws of paying an expensive price just to see who swiped you and whether it was worth the money or not and also pointing out the communication issues between people.

Bad experience so far :(. Hi I was really liking this app at first and I was even thinking about purchasing some of the things on the app but then not even two days from starting up my account I get blocked and it’s saying I was reported for promoting my social medias when I don’t have any even linked to my account I’ve read through all of the terms and conditions and I’m very sad that this can just happen for no reason I really want this fixed so that I can use the app and know that I’m not gonna get kicked off for no reason now I’m scared make a purchase with you guys because what if I do it and then get blocked when I have not done anything wrong my account is appropriate nothing harmful to others and the fact that I see a bunch of people doing drugs when I was sliding through my swipes and that’s bad behavior being allowed and I’m getting blocked for no reason I’m very mad about it I just really want my account back and an answer to why people are allowed to make false reports ruining other peoples experiences. please get back to me I just really wanna answer to why this can happen and why it’s happening to me i’m writing this as a review because it’s not allowing me to email you guys. even if I was to give my social media to one of my matches it’s my choice and normal to talk to someone outside of your app once you meet I’m not just putting it openly on my account.

Feels unsafe. I use a few dating apps (Tinder + Hinge as well), and at first I felt like Bumble was the best because I had the option to send a message first, which I liked! Kind of ironic that Bumble actually played out to be the app I feel the most unsafe on. I’ve matched with very sketch people on here. I’m not sure what it is about this app but most of my matches have all had stalker-like tendencies and when I actually met up with one of them in person (because the others were very obvious red flags concerning SAFETY that I wasn’t willing to try), I felt completely unsafe because they had continued to stalk me, create new profiles and try to catfish me, followed me under different instagram accounts etc until I finally decided to change my phone number. I did report one instance to Bumble and was not notified on how it was handled. Mind you, went out with this guy ONCE. I’m still afraid to this day that he is following me somehow. I’ve had A LOT better luck with Hinge specifically, their team is super responsive QUICK and take reports seriously, which makes me feel good! Hinge has been fun and I’ve met great people there! Not sure if it’s because Bumble requires the woman to make the first move…? I think the waiting game culminates into an obsessive kind of behavior, personally. Would not recommend to friends (I tell them stick with Hinge).

Needs better features. I think all dating apps has its pros and cons but what Bumble lacks is putting it behind apps like Tinder (I hate to even compare it to Tinder) and Hinge. For example, Tinder at least has the feature where you can search numbers through your contact list and block them from seeing your profile in the app. I wish Bumble had a similar feature because you do see a lot of the same user profiles in most of the dating apps and I’d like to be able to block someone that I didn’t necessarily connect well with or from having a family member or coworker see my profile. Also the 24 hour match feature where the woman has to message the guy first and wait for him to respond during that time or else the match completely disappear is just not right. I sometimes go days without checking the app because I’m busy with work and life in general or choose to take mental breaks, before logging back on and then finding my “match” has disappeared. I’ve lost many potential matches this way or some that I’ve messaged and they don’t respond with the 24 hours. At least give the woman (who has to message the match” an option to extend that message time so that maybe when the guy logs back on, he has a chance to see the actual message.

They’re breaking the cardinal rule of dating: women should not message first. If you read the dating book The Rules Handbook: A Guide to Creating Loving and Lasting Relationships you will see the authors tell women who are looking for marriage to never message a guy first because that shows interest first and if a man doesn’t message you first then he isn’t interested and will go along with the relationship until he gets bored and his dream girl comes along that he will actually pursue. The authors even say that women must avoid Bumble for this reason. So Bumble, please allow men to message women first and allow the dating world to work properly instead of falling into new age feminism of the woman taking control. Women who message and go after men will be 31 and single like me. I used to be a woman who messaged first and chased and approached and would shoot my shot, but I’m still single and now I’m just older. Women who are serious about finding a husband (men and women on apps statistically want a committed relationship and not casual sex) will never find one with the way it’s set up now. Messaging a man first is the quickest way for a man to use you for sex and never commit or commit because you’re “good enough” and the second option when the woman he pursued and really wanted didn’t like him. Take it from me, a single 31-year-old woman with 16 years of dating experience.

Terrible I got blocked on the first day wasn’t even a full 24 hours. This is a terrible app . I only had it for 1 day and they blocked me immediately for no reason. The reason it was it because they said I was doing inappropriate selling which is not true. I barely even had the app for a full day before they block me. I emailed them to try to get in contact with support so they can try to verify that wasn’t true . I asked them to show proof of that or if they can actually verify the information that they received and they didn’t have any verification of that . They still wouldn’t allow me to get the account back and they sent mea email saying they would no longer respond to any further emails .I honestly wanna sue this app because the fact that you guys blocked me for a reason that’s not true and I only had that count for less than a full day doesn’t make sense. And then you they don’t know how to properly communicate. if anybody wants to good app to use go on tinder I had the app for seven years never any problems. They won’t block you on the first day you made the account for a false reason . And if they were to you can actually contact their support team and they will figure it out because they have a good verification system instead of them just telling you that they can no longer respond without any actual evidence.

More than happy!. I’m from another country and Arrived here still in the middle of the pandemic, so was very difficult to make friends, even with my type of work I didn’t have the chance to meet a lot of people so when covid restrictions were more relax this app was a good option to meet new people. I also downloaded tinder but immediately get it was to hook up and that wasn’t what I wanted, what I love about Bumble it’s the option to write what are you looking and the fact that woman make the first move. I had nice dates, when I was ready to settle down my first try was good but unfortunately at the end didn’t work out. After a break of man and take a time for me, I was ready to see what was there, without any big expectations… but the destiny made me met who is my boyfriend right now. Was the right time for both and just happened! We are so happy and our relationship is growing up everyday. Thanks to Bumble haha because I don’t think we would met without this app. In terms of the app I like how you can specify what are you looking, interests, age, nationality, etc and as I said before the fact that woman do the first move! If you meet someone and didn’t work out, don’t blame the app.

App Bans You For No Reason It’s Not For Women. I have used Bumble on and off for two years now. I didn’t have any problems until the beginning of this year. I matched with a person and we had a good connection which I ended up deleting my account to pursue him. We decided to no longer pursue each other so I got back onto the app. The guy wanted to match again which I accepted the match and he reported me and my profile was banned. I did nothing wrong to be banned. I didn’t send any inappropriate messages I just asked the guy why did you want to match again. I was able to get ahold of Bumble they saw that I did nothing wrong and they restored my account. I had my account for less than a month and was banned again with no reason specially stating why. This app was designed for women to use and they ban women like myself from using the app with no real reasons why. This means this app was not intended for women only for me. This app is known to ban people for no real reason. In order for this app to make money it needs people to use their services and how can they when they ban everyone. I can see if I violated the policies I agreed to but I didn’t. When you try to get assistance they ignore you and never help. It’s a useless app and I recommend not wasting your time. There are articles indicating how they randomly ban people and tbh someone will sue this company one day for banning people without probable cause.

A Penny Pinchers Development. This app USED to be great! As a woman, when this was introduced to me 4 years ago, I was impressed by its motto. We talk first. I found it was an easy and understandable outlet to meet people you never expect. But Bumble’s developers have taken something great and twisted it around for money. We used to be able to set two advanced preferences and now you’ve stripped that privilege. Unless we give you Penny pinchers money. It’s not even about “not giving someone a chance”. We are humans! There are things we like and don’t like, is that so wrong? It’s much easier to limit the insane pool of people in one area then tirelessly swipe through people you know you in reality you probably won’t even go out with. And just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse…there’s a SWIPE LIMIT??? What??? When did this get put in place? It is so ridiculously pointless and glitchy. And leaves you wasting so much time swiping through people you aren’t interested in. Every person is not going to be a match. So what are you trying to force here? You’re giving so many people false hope by making the pool so wide. We live in such a judgmental society that there will be tones of people swiping and nothing will happen. I am so disappointed in the developments on this app. It honestly makes hinge look like a gold star now. And I used to think quite the opposite.

Bumble Ban. So Bumble definitely shadowbans or at least outright blocks you. I had Bumble for about 2 years straight. One of the women I met off there ended up stalking me and I deleted the account out of fear she would create fake profiles and try to monitor me. Needless to say I ended up moving for work and decided to make another account now that I felt safe. Within the first hour I had several likes, however, that stopped instantly after that. Nothing after that first hour (I live in a large metropolitan area so this is unusual). I’m also not an ugly guy by any means. It’s not difficult to see who likes your profile since bumble’s blurred image for your queue is easily distinguishable when swiping. I noticed that one particular like I had showed up in my stack and I didn’t swipe on it initially. I reopened the app later to see my likes disappear. HOWEVER, these profiles still showed up in the stack and they are unable to unlike your profile once they’ve swiped right. This happened with almost all of the likes I had and they weren’t bot profiles. I received no more likes since that first hour and I kept the app for a week and a half to make sure. Pretty pathetic I received whatever “ban” they clearly have in place simply because I deleted my account to protect myself. Not like I’m deleting and recreating the app every other week. Won’t be recommending or using (like I could anyway) this app again.

More Success Than Other Apps. And that’s not saying much. However, I do enjoy Bumble. Its easy to use and it offers speed dating every Thursday. however, I wish some of the features were more personalized or offered as add-ins. For example I would like the option to pay for bee-line (allows you to see who likes your profile) without having to pay for a full subscription like premium or boost. Other than that, the app itself is fine. The biggest problems you ladies (straight cis-gender) will run into isn’t really the app’s fault. After you match with someone, you’re given 24hrs to message them and they only have 24hrs to respond. A lot of times, guys don’t respond at all. You’ll also run into men who are just looking for hookups, which is typical. The other issue is the never ending one-sided small talk. A lot of these guys can’t hold a conversation or they expect you to do all of the work because bumble requires women to initiate the conversation. If your goal is to land a date in person, it’s going to take some patience, unless of course you’re a super model or something. Overall, its always ideal to meet ppl in person, but I think Bumble is a safe platform to explore your options. Use this as a supplement for your dating routine. Don’t solely rely on Bumble

Waste of money. I randomly get push notifications saying I have a match, but no match. Or the latest saying I won’t be shown to women looking through the app. Unsure why you’d ever want to notify me of this. I’ve paid for this app for about a year and had 0 success. Any like I give to a girl is wasted because they don’t see my profile. After months of receiving no likes or matches, I messaged them. There was no help, and instead I was told I’m stupid and wrong. Very off brand for Bumble, and very off putting in general. Then a few weeks later I had 100s of people who had liked me all in matter of hours. - I’m on other apps, I receive likes and matches so I knew something was wrong and then bam it was fixed. I still don’t receive any forward matches though - if someone likes me, I can match with them - but if I like them, I’ll never see them because they don’t see me. This app is a sham and unethical. Stop messing with algorithms and make it simple - you like someone, they see you automatically. I’m confident when my subscription runs out I’ll be treated normally by their software but once you pay them they want you to keep paying them - being in a relationship is a fast way to stop those payments. It’s in their biz interest to have paying customers receive no likes. Honestly Apple and google shouldn’t distribute this app if that’s true, they’re unethical and don’t practice what they preach.

It’s okay. I don’t use the apps much but during Covid and for travels to meet People I opened it. If you’re looking to meet people and go on dates this is not for you sorry. Better bet would be badoo. Maybe i haven’t had it for long enough but the guys here while they will answer and I had a lot of matches expect the girl to do all the work not just with writing them first but the whole time. Meanwhile from other apps I’ve actually met up with guys and met interesting ones from other countries. While the guys here are attractive and accomplished it doesn’t do much when I already have dates lined up from other apps that have maybe more choices but guys that aren’t as appealing. I refuse to pay to use any of these apps, just wanted to see how it goes. I’m sure there’s great guys on here but they need to realize girls can get lots of messages and offers and they should act fast instead of waiting around for the girl to propose something . I’m old fashioned and like that Guys here don’t say inappropriate things and there are a lot of quality guys. But when you hear the same ones have been on it forever maybe it’s because you guys put zero effort into it. I even put my Instagram account in my profile so guys can contact me there and I’m open to meet and respond to my matches. It makes me wonder why guys even have these apps on their phones

Feels weird. I’ve been using this app for a week now and it feels weird and the people seem weird. I’ve matched with at least 7 women to which 3 of em never texted me. Idk y this app has the whole “women text first thing” but it somewhat seems like a missed opportunity for the guy. It’s unfair when a women matched with you, but never text simply because women don’t do that all the time. Idk if it’s for empowerment, but normally women don’t text first. Also the women I’ve matched with all seem exactly the same. Idk if it’s just coincidental but they are all are boring and answer like days later. It’s somewhat confusing, considering they matched me and liked my photos. Last but not least, I’ve encountered women who for some reason delete their accounts.... only to make another one with a different name and different pictures? I can tell it’s the same women because “Duh it’s obvious” but it’s creepy and makes me wonder who tf I’m talking to. This app is good because it’s more freedom unlike tinder, I actually feel like I can talk to ppl on here. But it suffers from the same thing tinder does. It’s just the gratification u can possibly talk to these women. It’s not guaranteed or anything. Again this app isn’t bad, surly better set up then tinder but, just awkward and boring at times. Maybe because I’m in Japan idk.

False advertising. I redownloaded the app a while ago and after every few swipes there was an ad for a “free trial” for bumble boost. It was annoying to constantly have it pop up so I figured I’d give it a try. Come to find out that I was automatically charged for a 3 month subscription. It should have clearly been stated that I was not eligible for the free trial (bc apparently I had tried it years ago even though I don’t remember) but instead they just automatically charge you. This is false advertising!!! I realized this one hour into it and tried to email bumble and cancel and this is what bumble responded with “The reason this instant charge happened was because Apple deemed you not eligible for a trial, possibly because you have already had one previously for Bumble under a different account. In this case it is Apple that chooses to charge you immediately and that's unfortunately out of our control.” I asked if they couldn’t cancel it entirely to at least switch me to a one month subscription but they said no. How did they decide to sign me up for the 3 month versus at least a 1 month trial?? This is very misleading and deceptive. So shady and money hungry.

Mediocre. I have checked out quite a few dating apps lately and this one is at the bottom of my list, not that any of them are fantastic. Sadly, I wasn’t aware when I paid for the subscription that messages disappear after 24 hours (and that BEFORE you send the message you can extend that time, bit not after). Anyway, my day 1 & I responded to a few interests (the night before the Super Bowl no less) that had actually “liked” me first, didn’t reply in 24 hours & were gone. Even though customer service said they would reappear in my search, that is not true. According to my app, there are no more (huh? Lol) people in my criteria, I never did see the few I messaged again & I was left with a bunch of others that are not “my type” even though the app says it knows my type. Lol. It also does not show people you swiped off a second time. So make sure when you swipe them off you never want to reconsider them because you won’t ever see them again. Also, make sure before you pay for this and send your first messages you read all the rules and other things so you don’t potentially lose out like I did. Really disappointed because I thought this would be my favorite out of the apps and turned out to the the most disappointing. Waste of money, honestly.

Help. This event happened over a year ago and I’ve yet to receive any response or for of communication from anyone from the Bumble team. I matched with this girl and from the beginning I should’ve seen the red flags. We met up to hang out then insisted I go back to her place. I was hesitant to do it but I wasn’t expecting anything bad to happen. After a few drinks we were sitting on the couch and she started touching me. I wasn’t comfortable with the way this was happening so I told her to stop. Needless to say she didn’t. She just kept touching me. I must’ve offended her because she insulted me and said I must not like girls if I didn’t consent, then proceeded to grab me. I’m a large man so I was able to get her away and left. I went to report her in the app but it seems she had gotten to me first. I couldn’t even go to the police if I wanted to because I had no way of getting her name or info because bumble banned my profile and any new ones I try to create. I’ve sent countless emails to them hoping to get unbanned or at least the information from the girl. I even attached as much evidence as I could to support my claims, but haven’t hear a single word. All I want is to make sure this doesn’t happen to other men or people in general. Seems like the team at bumble isn’t very worried about the safety of their users. At this point I don’t want to make another profile I just want help.

Deceptive with your matching preferences.. Not a bad app. Haven’t gotten any targeted ads yet, and haven’t been smothered with obvious fakes either. I’m giving the lower rating because they have basically put the “Dealbreaker” buttons in your range settings as a placebo. I’ve been trying to go mile-by-mile outward, because there is an entire college just outside of 40 miles away, and my queue will be entirely dominated by people from that college if I don’t restrict my range. What I find happening anyway is I will still see people OUTSIDE that range after I’ve set my range to be a dealbreaker! Even sneakier, I will sometimes find that this setting has been turned off for me, as if they’re trying to pull a fast one on me. In addition, how is it that one day I can swipe through every profile in a specific range, but the next day there’s several less than 10 miles out? Not likely they made their profile day, since that little “new here” bubble appears on their profile. There is clearly some sneaky business going on to restrict your swiping to people who will never see your profile past a certain point, and hold some in reserve so you can swipe on for longer. In the end, however, these practices are less predatory than most of your other options for dating apps. If you’re dead set on picking on, this is probably your best bet.

Reasonable Expectations. I have been on Bumble since June 2019 and have experienced the tragedies and triumphs and everything in between. As with anything, if your expectation is immediate gratification you will be disappointed. If you are serious, patient, create an attractive profile and above all else, are honest you will make connections. These connections can lead to great conversations and much more. After that, it’s up to chemistry and no app has that. I have made connection and I waited for the conversation to start and the clock ran out. I have made connection and had second thoughts and let the clock run out. I have also met some amazing people and built lasting relationships. Bumble to me seems safe, exudes quality with the look of the app, the simplicity of use and the opportunity to add additional services for a price. I have done that once but really isn’t necessary. It is also very easy to update your profile as you learn what seems to be working and maybe what isn’t. With patience you will connect. Maybe not everyone you swiped right, but likely the right ones. Two tips, be HONEST...about everything including your age, and second, use the extended clock strategically, it can pay dividends. Bumble isn’t perfect but no dating app is. Happy Bumbling

Takes too long to get a mutual match and a paywall. I joined bumble only a couple weeks ago and had 4 maybe 5 liked by others, but they weren’t mutual so I never saw who they were. I shouldn’t have to pay money just to meet someone. I get that bumble is being the middle man in the possible relationship but that’s what gets me. It’s a “possible” relationship. I don’t know if it’ll work out or not why should I pay 40 dollars just to see someone’s profile that may or may not be close to me at all! It’s a joke and a scam. If you wanted to help people meet other people why make them pay for it? Why couldn’t you just put ads in from sponsors like you do for push notifications? That gives you money doesn’t it? Or an actual 10 second ad after so many skips then give the option for a one time purchase to stop the ads. I don’t see why I need to pay what was it 20-40 dollars for a week!?! Absolutely ridiculous what a waste of time. If you read to this point believe me it’s just like every other dating app asking for money to see someone. It’s disappointing. Oh and there’s bots as well so you if you choose to subscribe to them you may be losing money to talk to someone trying to scam you. I would go back to bumble if the paywall wasn’t there or if it was a one time purchase. So to the bumble team, Ik you won’t, but as a friendly suggestion take that into consideration and good luck.

If you have any problems, you won’t get help.. If I could give this 0 stars (or less) I would! It looks great on paper, until you have a problem. I had been having problems with the amount of likes I was getting from the free membership. I was getting about 10-20 likes every week or more. I went 2 months one time checking every week and didn’t have liked for that whole time. I put in a ticket to ask how many likes I should have and explained the situation. They responded saying I should have 30 likes per 24 hours and that I’ve used mine for today (it had been a week since I had any likes). I then tried to explain again and was ghosted. For a couple weeks I was trying to get in touch with them about my ticket with no response. I then opened another ticket to ask for help again. They didn’t even acknowledge this one. Today (about 2 months later) I got an email saying they hadn’t heard from me so they were closing me ticket… I responded saying that they should have heard from me in this ticket AND another one. I had deleted my app at this point due to the frustration and sour taste left because of support. They then sent an automatic response email, which made it even more obvious they never read my email today OR any of the emails before. The two emails I have from them were the same exact automatic response emails and it didn’t answer either of my emails in any sort of way.

Awful Customer Service Scam Subscriptions. I have been a Bumble user for quite sometime now. The site is decent aside from the forced pop-ups asking for contributions and “social causes.” I recently was looking into a subscription for the site and had the incorrect one applied to my account. My first inquiry for assistance was closed without any response and when I tried to follow up they said the matter was resolved and they wouldn’t response to my email. When I opened a second case, although I shouldn’t have had to in the first place, I received a general response with absolutely no details or personal reflection of my inquiry simply telling me I can purchase the additional subscription for the additional cost, which wasn’t even what I was inquiring about in the first place. You’d think for a site that prides itself on its users and highlights a CEO who makes billions of the site, the customer service would be somewhat adequate to answer the concerns of the users in a timely manner. However that is far from the reality of this app and it’s customer service. Would highly recommend staying away from this app and using one of the competitors, they are better sites anyway. I hope one of the employees reaches out to me in regards to this review, but all we know that will never actually happen. My subscription will be my last and I have already cancelled any further charges associated with this app. Would recommend anyone else who uses it to do the same.

Gone Downhill Over the Years. I’ve been on and off Bumble for a few years now and it has really gone downhill over the years. First things first, Premium has gone up in price. I remember premium was like $20 a month or so, then it went to $30, $35, to now $50!!! It is way too overpriced and not really that beneficial, why would I want to pay $50 just to see who likes me only for them to to not talk to me, or they’re 50 miles away when I have my preference to 20 miles!! Also they say that premium profiles get shown more but I highly doubt it because I’m usually on the app everyday swiping, and have maybe only gotten one like within the span of about every two weeks!! Premium is not worth the $50, especially since it seems like a lot of women are only using the app to promote their Instagram/Onlyfans. I don’t think this is Bumble’s fault at all, but I can’t justify spending $50 just be targeted by someone who’s not looking for a relationship, and only looking for my credit card number. I think this is my last time using Bumble. It stinks because I have been successful in the past with matches and going on dates, but it seems that this app is just getting greedy and getting ruined by opportunists. If you want to go on dates and actually find something meaningful, go on Hinge or Coffee Meets Bagel, I’ve had better luck recently on those apps. Or, if you want to skip the hassle, just pay for eHarmony/Match.

Great app for those looking for something serious. I completely loved this app. I haven’t ever used dating apps and about a year ago I decided to give them a try. I did some research and decided to try Bumble first as I was looking for something serious. The app is really easy to use, I just wished the chat window was a bit more interactive and allowed to delete messages (lol), but again the purpose of this app is just to use it as a first step and continue chatting/texting out of it once you think you have a match. As a woman, is nice to be able to take the first step to initiate the conversation. I had 3 dates with really nice guys before finding my current boyfriend (we’ll soon be celebrating our first anniversary!), so we are both very happy we found each other with this app. The only thing I would recommend them to change is to allow choosing pictures from your phone instead of Facebook. I met one guy who had old photos on Facebook because he just didn’t interact with it a lot, so when we met in person he looked a bit different. Overall it was a good app, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for something serious, guys here were really nice, some really well educated, and a couple were absolute gentleman.

Bumble review. I’m not liking how I match with someone, message, and hardly any matches message back. I miss notifications of new matches often. They don’t show up sometimes until they’ve disappeared, out of time. Maybe that’s part of the reason others miss messages. Sometimes I’ll get a notification I have a match and when in the app there is none there. Also 24 hours is not long enough to message or respond first. Most people goo on the app at a similar time each day. If I go on at 10pm one day. Have a match straight after. Don’t message because of the late hour. Forget the next day. And then by the time I go on the next day, if I’m later than 10pm, I’ve missed the match. Make it 48hrs please.

Stupid rules ruins everything. So I joined bumble last week thinking it will be better than other apps, so far my experience is more negative than positive.. 2 main reasons 1. Even after getting a match, you can't chat with her unless she sends a message first, and you only get 24+24 so 48 hours in total, if she doesn't send a message in that time limit she is gone for good.. so whats the use getting a match if the match doesn't open bumble for few days? Even if she liked me she will never know i liked her back and will have never have a chance to getting to know each other at all.. at least don't put a time limit for replies, thats plainly stupid rule. 2. I put a nice video of me petting my roommates cat, Got a message that this video is harmful for the site, still didn't understand what exactly a guy petting a cat is harmful for anyone? Then today I again put a nice video of beach near my house and again got the same message, seriously bumble team???? Get your heads out of where sun doesn't shine and do something about these stupidity cause I have 3 more weeks subscription left but for sure if these rules not gone by then I for sure am deleting this app for good

Unable to log into my account. When I originally signed up I used the apple login option to create the account and had no dramas using it for a few months until one day I opened the app and found I couldn’t login. I’d enter the details, use Face ID to log in and for a few seconds I get a loading screen before it circles back to the sign up/ login screen for the app. No clue as to whether I got banned or the account just somehow got lost, as I didn’t receive any emails or notifications as to what happened. Contacted customer support which wasn’t much help. They couldn’t even find an account linked to my email. Tried logging in again with the same login info after not using the app for a while, so I could try deleting my account and still the same problem.

Equality? What do u mean, there is not. Equality is empowering women to make the first move? This whole sentence is wrong. That is not equality. I had this app for many months. I got one date, 2 weeks before I said enough. For me is an app for people to hook up, nothing about finding love or anything special. The premium service doesn’t make any difference. I found it hilarious that the majority of my matches were divorced woman 35 km + away from me, plus 3 kids, and nothing alike to any affinity or any similar interests. Seriously I thought wow really ridiculously hilarious. I mean even more funny is that I stay for so long in this app. Money, looks and u got urself a date. It really depict everyone in Sydney simple minded, obtuse, with little or no taste, fairly depressing and with little interest to find love

Leaves a sour taste. Ok, the notion that women make the first move. It’s novel. Even as a guy I kinda like that - at least I know she might be interested. I do wonder where it leaves non binary people though. But anyway - it’s far too easy to accidentally swipe the wrong way - or you just switch over to use another app for a moment, then when you come back to Bumble it refreshes and you lose the person whose profile you were checking out and maybe liked. It just leaves a sour taste when you’re always frustrated about that kind of thing. I mean I understand they’ve got to make money, but really, please find another way - you want dating to be fun and exciting, not frustrating because you keep losing access to prospective matches due to stupid reasons that you can’t undo.

Okay app. Gotten more costly for less though.. I rejoined this week and have to say, The new updates are terrible! The layout, what the even.. As for the paid features, they’re now a total rip off from the old days.. no 3 free shake ya phone and rewind your mistake of swiping right anymore.. you have to pay for it. It’s disappointing to see the app try to be more like tinder... Also it’s so annoying that some guys match and don’t reply, no matter what type of greeting they get. It’s no wonder women stop making effort with their messages and give a basic ‘hi’ when many of their matches don’t even bother replying in the first place... must just be an ego boost for many. This is coming from girlfriends who use the app too.. while I like that I don’t get harassed with disgusting messages, Unlike tinder, it’s off putting to always have to message first and put in effort to what I say and get nothing back lol DONT MATCH IF YOU'RE NOT INTERESTED.

What’s going on? Beyond disappointed. I paid for a Premium membership. Spent a fair amount of time writing my profile, posted 6 recent photos, a mix of active, casual and well dressed. First week I got a couple of profiles from guys who didn’t match my search criteria. Nor was I remotely interested in them. So I swiped left. After that zero profiles were presented. Contacted customer service about lack of matches, was told to change my search parameters. Whaaat! How can it be that I’m still receiving 0 matches within the 3rd largest capital city in Australia? My membership expires 30th June 2022. I’ve cancelled the direct debit, and put my profile in ‘incognito’ mode. What’s the use of getting my hopes up, checking for profiles when there aren’t any, just the same old ‘widen your parameters’ or ‘check back later’. Occasionally I get push notifications telling me there are matches waiting. I open the app only to read that they’re just outside my parameters. Bumble are messing with my head. I think they sent me push notifications, because they say they will, but really they’re just keeping me dangling. To add insult to injury, Bumble emailed me asking to complete their rating survey. Why would I? It wouldn’t make a difference anyway. Somethings wrong with the algorithm, the app and how Bumble operate. Really, really beyond disappointed. Buyer beware. Rating 0/5

Additional services have ridiculous pricing. I’m a premium user with a monthly subscription. Y But I must say the strategy used to bait the users to spend more on additional features doesn’t seem very ethical. Price for additional services is just absurd! $10 per compliment? And based on that you all have made discounts to draw users to buy 30 for $70! Plus the spotlight is just a joke too. The auto spotlight kicks in at odd times when there’s no much users using the app, and it gets wasted. Might need to review that algorithm! I’ve turned this feature off! When it comes to speed dating, although I’m a premium user I never get a chat! And it seems apparent that this is done on purpose as it keeps prompting me to buy additional spotlights! Come on? Why do this to a premium user? Plus the recent feature of adding a question you all included into the profile. What’s the point of having it if a user still need to buy compliments to answer it?? You all need to review these additional features and be much more reasonable and fair with the offers and pricing. At least provide users some amount of compliments per week similar to how you all give spotlights and super swipes!

Good in way yet.... Based on today (12 Jan 2021), bumble’s gimmick / imagery like Hollywood in its many manifestations is selling the idea that the only mixed race dichotomy worth anyone’s time is white and black (usually a sophisticated black man and a white woman, sophistication being the man’s signifier which speaks of class interests etc, interesting how you never see a drab black man, and whiteness in itself, all that is needed some would say, being hers). This is problematic and fairly sinister as these supposed prominent successes (an advertiser’s wet dream really as they are able to sell their product with the implicit Tagline being that their product has managed to quell society’s great ill — racism!) mask structural everyday real inequalities as it bounds us to very limited social parameters ....Apart from that Bumble’s alright I guess!

Descrimination. Based on the information shared by people, I can see the founder of this application applied a brief and clear discrimination officially and globally in Apple platform and Apple Store by giving the option to a group of people and restricting other people to send the message etc. this is discrimination and a shame for not bumble but Apple. Introducing the discrimination and the group of people who manage this platform, getting people’s money and without any reason they simply banned subscriber why they promote a lifetime access to their platform. If you banned someone then refund their money! You cannot charge people and banning them for some ridiculous internal decision without even sending them a warning or letting them know the reason at least they understand what they should do and avoiding those behaviour or action in the future. Simply you are against human being right and after people’s money. This is shame for bumble as well as Apple to give them this opportunity to implement discrimination behaviour and facilitating their fraud activity.

Doesn’t seem to work. I have had this app for approx 1 week now and I purchased the subscription also. Despite the copious amounts or profiles I have swiped to like, I have had no matches or communication with anyone. I have downloaded other apps and seem to get plenty of matches and responses all within 48hrs. The second app I got was completely free to use, including messaging each other. Both times I reported an issue to bumble about the matching and messaging section, they tell me there was a bug and that it’s fixed and I should download the new version, however, I was always up to date and there was no newer version to update. With the one time I had a match on my profile come up, I couldn’t open it and then when I closed and re-opened the app they disappeared. For the $120, constant “bugs”, and no matches, this app isn’t worth a cent. Sorry but I just havnt had any indication at all that it works. I have requested a refund to which got ignored in their response. I think I will stay with my other app as it’s free, has no bugs, and have been getting matches left right and center.

Don’t pay for subscription. I’ve paid for the premium version, but it’s *definitely* not worth the money. Firstly, it doesn’t make any difference whatsoever to the number of matches that you get - if you’d like more matches, work on your profile. Secondly, you don’t get what you pay for - for example you’re supposed to get 1 spotlight and 5 SuperSwipes per week, but I don’t seem to get these and certainly they are not cumulative (this information is nowhere). I’ve contacted the support team to enquire, but so far (2 weeks later!) they don’t seem to care. If they see this review, I’m sure they will respond immediately. My advice to everyone out there: these people survive and can provide this dodgy service because of the subscriptions. If we stopped paying them money and use only the free version, they would certainly reconsider their practices and their app. And please don’t say “contact our support team” I’ve already done this - get your act together! Unless you are happy to refund the subscription (I certainly didn’t get what I paid for) there’s nothing to talk about. Poor service...

App not letting me login. So this problem started 3 days ago right before i updated my app my app logs me out of my account on its own and doesn’t let me log back in even after updating the app. I had a few people i was talking to there and had more than 50 likes pending on my profile and suddenly i couldn’t log into my account. So i sent an email to your support, i got no response whatsoever again so i created a new account from scratch, and now i got logged out of my new account on its own!!!!!!! I can’t log in to my previous account which was linked to Facebook and now the new account to which is linked to my apple ID and phone number. Guys you need to help me get my account backkk!!

Your notifications. Hi, **UPDATE** Is it possible if you can refer the chances of creating a notification, amidst my message below, where it notifies the user when they can resume liking again? Its not notably easy to recall of when the previous (day before) in-app prompt appeared on screen. If it’s not possible, could you set it where at midnight, it resets? E.g. The compliments per day resets at midnight, so why shouldn’t the amount of likes reset everyday at 9:00am? Could you please review the way your notifications work from: - The moment my profile has been liked by someone else. - The moment when both profiles have been liked to confirm a match. - The first 24 hour phase to send a message needs to have notice upon 12 hour / 6 hour / 1 hour notices via notifications which are clear and visible by their phone type. - The second 24 hour phase where the other person receives a notification of this progression, again clear and visible by their phone type. Far too many times where the person that needs to respond to get the match confirmation going, never gets anywhere about 100% of the time due to no clear and visible notifications. Look forward to hearing from you shortly regarding this

A success for me. This app brought me my current boyfriend. I downloaded the app after thinking 'eh...just try the app and get in the dating game again'. Within two days of downloading the app, I matched with someone great. We talked for a few weeks (starting late February) before we went on a date partly due to me heading on a one week trip interstate shortly after we started talking. We kept talking even while I was away and even though I matched with other people before we went on our date, this guy was capturing my attention the most. The question game feature was what I started with and he actually liked the feature and we kept conversing based off these questions. We went on many dates since the first one in mid March and just over a week ago decided to make our relationship official. We're both so happy that the app helped us find each other. Yeah, there were occasional glitches where my messages wouldn't send, and some of the premium features (which I did pay for for a month) I feel should also be in the free version like some of the dating preference filters) but I feel so lucky finding someone within a week of getting the app, so it delivered in the sense that it did what it advertised! Thanks Bumble

BFF mode gender restricted. Was really interested in the BFF mode of Bumble as I’m a little socially isolated and don’t feel up to dating. However as a man the app will only allow me to see and match with other men, which is a real bummer. I’m a gay trans man and have mostly only had female friends, and I find cishet men pretty intimidating. No idea what nonbinary people are meant to do - are they only allowed to be friends with other enbies? It really feels like this app was made with only straight cis people in mind, at least from my limited experience of it. Nice of you to give me a million words to describe my identity with, but if you can’t actually accomodate the way LGBT+ people socialise and live their lives, it’s not worth all that much.

Be careful about the trial subscription. Edit: I did get it touch with support and they claimed it was an issue with Apple wrongly identifying me as having accessed a trial. I had to message Apple for a refund. I was lucky to get one from Apple after that because their default process for giving a refund was claiming I was ineligible for one. The problem: For some reason despite being new to bumble and never having accepted a trial offer on Bumble, or even it's related apps (yes I did read the fine print), I was still charged for $66 for a 14 day trial. The fine print clearly stated the charge would only be made after the 14 days if I'd never been on one.

Deceptive Lifetime Access: Bumble's Betrayal. I was once a loyal supporter of Bumble, having invested in their lifetime membership with high hopes for endless premium access. However, my experience took a turn for the worse when I discovered that Bumble had revoked my lifetime privileges without any explanation. In the past, I could effortlessly restore my purchase, granting me access every time I registered using the same email. Regrettably, that is no longer the case. Despite reaching out to their support team via email and social media multiple times, not a single soul bothered to respond to my plea for assistance. To say that I am deeply disappointed would be an understatement. Bumble's broken promises and lack of support have left me feeling cheated and unheard. Their once-great reputation has now been marred by this blatant disregard for loyal customers like myself. If you're considering Bumble's lifetime membership, think twice before putting your trust and money into an empty commitment. I urge you not to fall for the allure of lifetime access, as it seems to be nothing more than a hollow marketing ploy. Take heed from my experience and choose a platform that truly values its users and stands behind its promises. Bumble, you have let me down, and I cannot in good conscience recommend your service to others.

In 2023??. I am a male who has moved to a new city, and was advised to try bumble bff to make some new friends. I am very nervous around other men due to previous experiences in my life and was excited to make some female friends. After ages of swiping, I eventually realised that bff mode is gender based, supposedly to protect women from creeps. I get it, I get the concept. But maybe make that function opt in/out for women? Men and women can be friends too. The craziest thing is though I am physically able to just change my gender from male to female and then there they are. So it’s not really protecting anyone, and if somebody wanted to get into the female bff section then they still could, and people like me could make friends. Super limiting. Again it’s not that I don’t understand the logic, but for an 18+ app you’d expect a little bit of control for users. Seriously even if it was opted in to only same gender by default it would be fine. But these things really harder for people like me

Algorithm. I live with my friend and we just tried playing speed dating on your app and it’s strange how it didn’t pick each other up even know that there is no possible way to know that we live together so it’s broken. Also I have been using this site for about two years and it is dead. It is horrible I’ve had no likes. I have had absolutely nothing it’s actually wrong, and I do not want to pay for premium if the people aren’t from my local state. it does not make sense. I think you need to fix it and also if you could bring an app that is the same as bumble speed dating, but no pictures in till after five minutes of chatting if both mutually agree, that would be a good app, as it is not currently existing like that, I will give you five stars for the effort, but two stars because you need to fix the algorithm. Also on the first try I got no one . Awaiting for a fix. developer

Disappointed but not surprised.. Was having no luck matching despite it saying I had over 50 pending matches in the boost menu so after I ran out of people to swipe on for the 3rd time and only had 1 match I decided okay fine, I’ll spend the $14 and see these matches I apparently have. There were some people local that I should have came across on my own and there were others that lived over 5 hours away. For the local ones though, why did I have to boost to come across them? Terrible app. Doubt they care about my review though, they already got my $14. Don’t waste your time, just as bad as tinder if not worse.

Not awful, not good. There are some issues with swiping. Very few people on bumble for friends… but it is certainly better than nothing and I have made quality connections so far. For users in travel mode, it would be nice to have a sorting/filter to facilitate conversation when back in the region. I find Bumble’s oversimplistic chat drives users to share FB or Insta and move away from Bumble, which is a bit odd given the incessant notifications for me to check messages (that aren’t there) and engage. The notifications, man, they’re endless. “Someone likes you!” And when you open the app it says “nobody in your area” and there’s no message. Just wants you to engage with the app nonstop.

Good, but dark patterns are not cool. Personally, I’m enjoying the app and I really love that you’ve added video chat. Presumably you did that in response to COVID, but it should have always been a feature. Please always keep it. It’s a fantastic way to get a “first look” at someone before you commit to making the effort to dress up nicely and go out. The reason for my 3-star review is the dark patterns you employ to trick people into buying a subscription when they join. I told 3 friends how great, and free, Bumble is. All 3 of them ended up feeling disappointed and ripped off after stumbling into a subscription and then not being able to find more than ~6 matches. One friend had to expand her search to ALL OF AUSTRALIA to get any matches! She has written to you requesting a refund and I really hope you oblige.

Updates deletes all matches. Twice I have been prompted to update the app and after doing so all matches and conversations were gone. They have the worst customer service team who do not read your emails properly and refuse to acknowledge there’s a glitch. They just keep sending the same standardised, patronising reply, saying ‘unfortunately you were unmatched. Don’t worry, there’s plenty more out there. Happy bumbling’. When you’re on the app in the middle of the night and see 9 matches, do a quick update and go straight back in and all 9 have disappeared..I highly doubt they were all awake at this time and unmatched me at the exact same second in time!! I was just in the middle of arranging a date and now the app is forcing another update..

Online dating doesn’t work for most people. As per the title. If these apps worked there wouldn’t be the same people on them months and years later. Chatting with someone online strips away all the good things about being with someone in person. People have become lacklustre and don’t respond. Women match and then don’t send a message : which makes the app pointless. Certain types of people stay on these apps whilst most with any sense of self esteem give up. Leaving only the people who seem to either a) be looking for a unicorn and ONLY a unicorn, or b) people who use these apps to distract them themselves from the loneliness of their existence. Dating apps have really screwed up our society. Instead of social interactions people are assessing others based on heavily filtered photos and self written bios that often don’t really tell you much about a person beyond the surface level stuff. Do yourself a favour and don’t waste your time. I’ve found I feel better NOT using these apps. That says something. They’ll only ruin your self esteem and the majority of people using these apps have avoidant attachment issues or stupidly high standards that don’t match what they attract in real life. Ask yourself : why is this person on here? Why does this person need to get on an app? The answer is different from men to women but a little bit of common sense reveals some poignant answers.

Average.. It seems like it’s a user-friendly and well presented app. Though, as soon as I signed up for the boost free-trial, it appears that nothing changed in what I was able to access. There was no ability to see who had swiped right in a section that seemed like it wasn’t even there, even after reading the FAQ section, it was describing something that isn’t in the app that I could find. You can also tell that the app withholds matches so you can’t access them all at the one time... making you come back the next day. This isn’t exactly trying to find you a match, just making you stick around and hoping you’ll open your wallets for extra features. I kinda figured online dating wasn’t going to be for me. Best of luck to the rest of you. 💕

Randomly blocked after limited use with no explanation. Used the app on and off and have found it easy to use and a good way to meet people. Restarted using the app after a few weeks dating a member that didn’t work out. Was using the app periodically and only having short “small talk” like conversation with a few people. Next minute I was randomly blocked. Asked for a review and received a suspiciously quick “bot” response that didn’t actually respond to the specifics of my email to Support. I am a professional female in my 30s with appropriate photos and profile information. I do not ask people to follow my social media. I don’t sell services or goods. And I certainly don’t talk about anything of a sexual nature. Any issue with my profile or behaviour is clearly vexatious and Bumble Support do not offer a proper review, just copy and paste responses.

This app ISN’T free?. Im confused. This app is free to install and is free to use. This is a free dating app. However, you have to pay an absurdly large amount just to get with people? So to start talking with people, both of you need to swipe right on one another. If you swipe first, they’ll see and then have to swipe. Im assuming the other has to deal with this if you swipe first, but if your other swipes first, they’ll appear for you, but are blurred and you can’t swipe them. As a matter of fact, you can’t do anything, unless you pay an uncomfortable amount for a subscription. That’s what I don’t like about programs that are free. In the long run, they’re more expensive then a program you’d have to pay for. Please stop saying it’s free when it isn’t.

Beware the sting of the bumble and scam offers. I would prefer to give this no stars even -2 because I have been ripped off by this exorbitant app and then heard absolutely nothing in response to my numerous attempts to make contact with its people...essentially I was offered a “free two week subscription trial” only to discover that bumble had gone right ahead and billed me close to $70 for a 3 month sign up.. emailed, hit the support option and I only hope that apple will see fit to refund me.. Bottom line: swipe left and go back to tinder folks !!! Update: six months later I’m told that it’s because I’ve already used the trial up... oh my god why even bother insulting me with that?!? It was the first and only tome I ever accepted an offer bumble has made.. I’m on it less and less and this development team need a training bra...

Total Rubbish. If you read Bumble’s response to the reviews you will understand why this app has so many 1-Star reviews, and is known for being a joke. The founder of Bumble grew up in a problematic family where her father abused her mother (therefore developing psychological issues and traumas), then she worked in Tinder and stole their ideas, mixed the Tinder and her hatred of men and created Bumble. This means Bumble is to attract damaged women and feminists so they get the delusion that they are in charge by messaging guys first. What an absurd idea. If in a normal dating app where normal women were, a woman swiped right on a guy she would wanted to chat to him (otherwise why swiping right?!). Swiping right and then not wanting to chat is utter stupid. Regardless of these idiotic rules, women in bumble are all on Hinge, another cringy dating app, too. Instead of spending a year of your life swiping, go out and meet someone nice in person and make great friends along the way too.

Would not recommend. I have only one week using the app. It did ask for a photo verification which I have done more than 30 times and will not accept the picture even when I have wore the same cloth and copy the profile picture pose. It won’t let pass use the app, so it is a waste of money . I have tried to contact support and there has been no answer or fix the issue. I have offered to provide ID to sol r the problem with no answer . Not not use this app and never recommend to anyone . Is a money trap .

Could Be Better. The advanced filters say they narrow your search but in reality they work like inductive searches rather than reductive and narrowing, which is really frustrating and a terrible oversight. I’d like Bumble to realise this and to fix it to have the option to “exclude” people from my stack based on particular attributes, for example, not wanting to date people that identify as atheist or who are smokers. The current filters work by selecting positive attributes you want to see in a partner but it’s pretty useless because I’d say most people don’t put positive features about themselves on their profile for privacy reasons, and the filter ends up excluding those people as options by accident. Please fix Bumble.

Negative 10. THIS IS JUST A WARNING FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO SUBSCRIBE.. don’t waste your hard earned money.. on these pathetic imbeciles.. Pathetic … sexism at its best. I have tried to create a app numerous time, and for unknown reason they keep banning me. Now I would understand, if I was Gable Tostee, who killed someone through these apps. I could understand.. I can’t even create a profile.. so how are they thinking that I’m going to be an issue … Its also pathetic how they can take your money, to pay for a subscription, but yet they ban you as soon as your $$$ is debited from your account. ***This is not a rant that I can’t get on, personally I think “Hinge” is way better.. This is just a warning for people who pay for subscription … I bet you would be too gutless to post this on app store too

Disappointing app literally stole my money. I have been on Bumble for a long time as a premium account holder often times not even checking it for months but happy to have the roughly 13 dollars deducted from my account monthly. Upon reviewing invoices I noticed that the subscription price has increased on multiple occasions with no notification other than a direct debit (which is not really notifying me on the apps part) nor have I gone for a more expensive package or consented to being charged more. It went up to $33 and for the last 3-4 months has very sneakily charged me nearly 50 dollars!?! This is absolutely wrong and for a app that does so little to put you in contact with people, even when you are on premium. Disappointed is a understatement I am very angry and feel robbed. I doubt the developers will do anything to set this right but I advise people, steer well clear of this app. They are only tax collectors and have no interest helping you make connections. Developers you SHOULD be refunding me a few hundred dollars. You HAVE at least in my opinion conducted business illegally. DO NOT DOWNLOAD BUMBLE 1/10 beyond disappointed.

Good and the bad!!. Good dating app been using it for years, till I couldn’t log in when says continue with Facebook. I have messaged them on the support site that they said to message too which is like Facebook and even on there page as well but still haven’t had anyone get back to me which is annoying, frustrating and just poorly how they can’t get back to me at all this is way I’m putting a 1 star rating now for this!! all I wanna know is why I can’t log back into it?? This is what I said: Hi there, I can’t login in on your app when it says continue with Facebook when I do that it goes in to the page log in with Facebook then I go continue then it loads then goes back to the start again I have try this about 3 times now I even deleted the app and downloading it again still having the same problem. That’s what my do then goes back to the start again when I’m trying to log in with my Facebook!!

FAKE FAKE FAKE. I have been using this platform for five years to this day!! And did I meet a compatible guys? Nope! Im pretty open minded it, but the ones that do swipe don’t talk, the ones that do talk, disappear or unmatch you and the ones that you do meet are fake or just after a good time! They don’t even let you put a review and continue to delete it! They have created fake profiles to make women believe there are genuine guys on the app! They just want to take your money! The block you because you speak up !! Pretend there are complaints made against you, when you had over 50+swipes and only had one person in you mr chat list! How can that be possible You keep putting reviews and they keep deleting them !! Joke Beware women!!! Men take screenshot of your profiles and upload them on social media group pages where men discuss and humiliate you

Poor user support. I’ve been a user of this app for years. I made very little matches, not due to lack of appeal but because it would run out of people every day after showing me about 8 profiles. This is even after setting my distance to 100km+ and having a 10 year age range. However, despite not being able to make connections and have conversations with other profiles due to these limitations, my account was permanently blocked “due to multiple reports”. I reached out to support for a review and some clarity on which guidelines I supposedly broke but my account remained blocked and my questions were left unanswered multiple times. I am disgusted by your poor user support and unfair account moderation when I would see multiple profiles promoting their drug dealing or with nude pics daily. It’s hard enough to use dating apps as a gay man but to be blocked from one of the biggest ones for unknown reasons is insane and displays very poor use of user moderation and the support I received was nothing if not unhelpful and lazy. There is no way that I would encourage others to use Bumble from now on after this experience. Do better Bumble.

most biased out of all dating apps. terribly disappointed after being a user for many years, in all my years on the app never had anything reported against me as i’ve been a regular stick to the guidelines person but suddenly out of nowhere after so many years someone decided they’d like to submit a false and unjustified report and bumble over here took none of the many years of good history and good data into account when reviewing the report. on whatever premise they like to think is just fine, they proceeded with a permanent block without even providing any proof, evidence or even the slightest reasoning as to why. so after many years of being a peacefully co-existing user in the platform’s community i’m suddenly booted without any clarifying whatsoever despite having done nothing wrong and the user who thought it would be a good idea to submit a fake and unjust report carries on having access to the platform with no consequence. the only unfair & biased dating app experience to date. perhaps review your security processes because you’ll end up burning a lot of decent users out there that would’ve stood up for your good point of difference as a dating app but now never can say so in the community because of your highly unbiased review processes. well done bumble.

Blocked with no recourse. I had paid for the premium and actually had the app turned to snooze mode because I was about to delete it. I was still talking to a few really nice people that I was getting along with great and then suddenly blocked from the app. $200 gone and I guess what could be from only be one or two girls who were upset I didn’t want to see them again or a x wife with a report button. If you get this app don’t get premium because if a girl doesn’t like you and hits report...good bye money!

What a money scam. So they are not helpful at all behind the scenes, but reply here to make it seem like they give a hoot. They were never interested in assistance or answering my queries, just wanted to me to join again to rip us off once more. You write to communicate with admin you which I have f done but you keep replying with same generic robotic like non helpful reply. Ripping people off. As soon as my paid subscription ends, suddenly I have all these likes waiting for me. Nothing at all whilst subscribed, then once again when subscription ends likes waiting for me which they always hide till you pay again. Why would you offer this service then block us from likes until we pay? Absolutely a scam, can’t wait to hear from developers to explain.

Blocked for no reason - 0 star for me. I have used this app for only 1 week and was talking to few people and i even paid for a weekly boost then cancelled my subscription right after, 2 days later i was BLOCKED saying that i have a fake profile even though all my pictures were clear! Just because i didn’t want to meet a guy or 2 that didn’t catch my attention and they were pathetic about it and decided to report me, doesn’t mean i have a fake profile! I have contacted the support team who said they investigated this thoroughly (which i think they didn’t) and thought was issued correctly, they said i have breached the Bumble guidelines haha. I’m pretty confident i didn’t nor i had the time to breach any as i barely used it. Don’t use this app nor pay for any subscriptions as it is the worst app ever and they are only after the money!

Plays mind games with you to get you to pay. This app is honestly horrific for your mental health, and I do not recommend using it unless you’re capable of remaining remarkably detached. Bumble makes no money from ads, so to make money, it taunts you into feeling the only way to get matches is to pay. You might flick through dozens of people who you don’t think you’ll click with, but as SOON as you run out of likes somebody you think would be fantastic shows up. “Oh no, if only I had more likes right now,” they want you to think. You may be online for an hour, and not receive any likes, but as SOON as you run out of likes, the app will tell you “oh, somebody just liked you!!! If only you had more likes so you could match them!” The speed dating minigame is a joke, just getting to wait in front of the screen as it tells you “we’re looking for somebody… but you could pay to find somebody sooner!” The algorithm is NOT designed to let you match to people, at least not in any easy or stress free way. It is designed to get you to pay money. To do so, it will make you feel lonely, desperate, and just out of reach of people who might be perfect for you. If you engage, I strongly advise you do so in a disconnected way, and keep these facts in mind. Do not give in and pay the company money, they do not deserve it if they can’t offer a functional and non-toxic free service

Reverse power. If this app is designed to empower women, do they need to pay for subscription ? If not, why are the men paying $50+ per month for hardly any matches. Even if you do match and she doesn’t send message first then the match is gone. What a scam..!!! men should not have to pay for subscription if it up to the women to make first move. So many other apps out there where women don’t pay for subscription.. half the women on here are scammers anyway. Fake photos with photoshopped bodies and backgrounds. This app is purely to deceive men that it’s a worthy app. Remember 90% men are looking for 100% of women, but 90% of women are looking for top 5% of men … the odds are against us..!!!! Unless this app has major improvements to make it fair play I would not bother using this app..!!

Fun but unstable and non specific. The app is good but highly unstable and lacks consistent performance. It crashes regularly when chatting and fails to display pictures completely; it starts to load a pic then stops leaving the user w a blurry image. Skipping this match doesn’t ensure the next one is working correctly. The profile section doesn’t require much content to begin posting so there’s some very thin profiles, time wasters. The lack of specific geographical locations in a big metropolis is a negative, I’m not keen on long distance. Matches only with a narrow age band are limiting as well. The fact that woman have to accept your interest is unique and should ensure only interested matches are contacting me (a male), a bit like fishing and hoping they take the bait. Not sure about that, can’t write to share my thoughts until they accept.

Don’t bother. First time using bumble in Australia and hoped it was better than where I was before - fake profiles, customer service that doesn’t care, pushing you for money. Sure enough out of the gate the amount likes you get on the free is ridiculously low. Constant ads pushing you to purchase premium and such and “see who likes you”. I thought I’d do the premium for one week to see if it’s better. It’s not. The “likes” you get are horrific profiles. Think a lot are out of date as well. Got a mutual like from a profile that didn’t look terrible - it was a scammer. Had to report. Match with another profile - this one seems genuine despite a weird message. They was but the convo dries up with no effort on their part for anything interesting. Even with premium you can’t use all the features and they push you to purchase more. The “speed dating” thing was a waste of time. Don’t even get the matches through there. Even in a massive city and generous filters I’ve “run out” of people around me several times. Don’t waste your money. Don’t bother. No one is taking this app seriously and the developers just want your money.

Feeling Like A Waste Of Time. Nothing but swiping for two months and all I get is one person who chats for maybe ten minutes then nothing for a week before the match disappears. At least set a feature so when you unmatch someone it sends a message and maybe a reason so people don't feel ghosted. There is also no way to know when the person was last on the app so you have no idea if you are swiping someone who uses the app or has already deleted it so more wasting time. Add something that says when the person last logged into the app or delete profiles that have been dormant for long periods of time. This is the second time I have used this app and it's getting beyond a joke. For people who are trying to find someone, it make it seem like ghosting, more than a dating app.

Don’t waste your time or low your self esteem.. Had Bumble and a few other dating apps for multiple years but bumble is the only one where I hardly get any matches. At the start of the year thought might as well try their bumble lifetime premium membership and made no difference, have used spotlight multiple times but doesn’t make a difference. Have had female friends review my dating profile and they said it’s pretty good so nothing wrong with what I’ve uploaded. Would like to add that I’m good/decent looking from what friends/strangers have told me so I doubt it’s looks so it’s got to be bumbles algorithm. Lastly the rare ones that I would match with once a month would chat for a while but would stop after a few messages. You got better chances using anything else.

Relationship. I am looking for a long term relationship. It is difficult for me on this app when I can only filter people with advanced filters from the subscription. Without it I spend a long time going through so many people and I don’t think it is worth as much as it costs to do so. I have been on other apps where this is also free. It is also upsetting when bumble members do not have an answer to what they’re looking for also. I wish it could be easier to find like minded people, so I can better find my match. I have had a lot of unhappy experiences because of this. I also would appreciate having verified profiles required for all members. It just makes sense to do so.

Absolute appalling money hungry. Taking away features which were already free on bumble and still present on rival dating platforms and putting them behind a paywall is greedy . In addition to a swipe limit per day there are like limits per week, the worst thing is that you’re able to run out of likes within the first couple days meaning you have to wait a week to start liking again. This goes against the point of bumble where you are required to respond within 24 hrs, hence discouraging users from going on the platform daily. They claim it’s to reduce the number of unthoughtful likes, however, if that really was the case they wouldn’t allow an option for you to pay for more likes. This is specifically aimed toward men and disadvantaging them as women are more likely to receive more likes and due to a higher proportion of men vs women on dating apps this allows women to have their choice without affecting their matches whilst drastically reducing the number of potential matches for men as with each swipe they are less likely to receive a match. This is an extremely sexist tactic which either forces men to pay up the cash or become extremely handicapped with potential matches whilst women remain mostly unaffected.

Could there be a messaging bug?. I’m wondering whether there could be a bug in the messaging functionality? I’ve encountered a couple of situations where my match doesn’t respond to one of my messages and then, about a week later, they unmatch me. While the first reason one might think of that explains this is that I’ve said something that wasn’t appreciated, which I’m confident is not the case, or they’ve simply lost interest and moved on, which I hope isn’t the case. In either case, why would my match wait about a week before unmatching me, it’s almost as if they were waiting for something e.g. a reply from me? My most recent such experience was only two messages after the match, one message each within the first 24 hours of matching, and we were deciding on where to meet. I had suggested a location that I thought was convenient for my match as it was located in the same suburb that Bumble indicated she was located. I kept checking for messages in Bumble every couple of days for the week that followed in case the push notification related to her reply wasn’t received by my phone but she never replied and, about a week after I had replied, we were no longer matched. I wonder if she never received my reply or whether I never received her reply.

Great idea! In theory. The idea of having women message first is an incredibly safe and progressive idea, the only problem is that women refuse to message first which is why it’s a great idea in theory, but not in practice. Which from personal experience leaves a man in a state of confusion and potential loneliness.

Scam. It’s only purpose is to extort money out of you and then you need to buy some thing else for the 1st pay plan to work. Bumble is garbage.

Torture.. Dating apps for men is torture, you either see the same type of girl over and over, or you just never get a match. Sure I’m no perfect ten, but really? There’s no hope 😂

Age. They say it’s for 17+ but they blocked my account and said it’s for people 18 and older....

Better than tinder but could still be improved in many ways. Better than tinder as it gets girls to message first...which makes tinder almost a waste of time. Although the huge lack of available swipes and having to wait forever until being able to swipe again is extremely annoying. What’s even more annoying is the amount of false notifications this app sends (“you have 3 messages waiting, find out who!” Even though nothing Etc), as well as how everything about it is “pay pay pay to unlock more”. Also why are girls constantly liking me but I have to pay to view them on the beeline, instead of any of them simply showing up on my feed to match with them. Prices for any premium features (which shouldn’t even exist) are also outrageous! Developers need to push their greediness aside and allow for a more user friendly app.

Bumble scam. I was given a swipe that offered a 14 day trial and decided to try it out. However, once I went through with the apple link and accepted, it said I purchased 3 month for over 60 dollars, lead to believe I was receiving a free trial and then signing up for a 3 month membership after trial upon testing of services and non cancellations. This just happened so I am hoping it’s a mistake and something that can be reversed, pleased respond as this is a ridiculous cost to unexpectedly pay.

Too many Scam profiles. As a male premium member looking for a female companion I have identified an over abundance of fake/scam profiles on this platform. At least 25% of the profiles are either a romance scam or escorts and that is being conservative. I am an experienced online person and know how to correctly identify such an account when it is a scam. When it is an escort, watch out! meet for a coffee, they identify as an escort and then try to coerce you into paying them for the time they took to meet you for a coffee, ya as if. Bumble appears to do little to vet the profiles identified as female. All you can do is report them, but I have also seen different photos of the same person pop up in a new profile. Very disappointing to say the least.

Rigged. I have been off and on this app for the last six years. Something I’ve noticed that has really bothered me is that when you subscribe to premium you get very few matches. The moment that it ends you get a lot of matches that you can’t see, they rarely come up to swipe with. So you have all these matches now and they keep encouraging you to resubscribe to premium. So you do and you check the swipes you got and what do you know, it becomes stagnant again. What’s that? premium ends and I have tons of matches again. This app is a completely rigged money pit.

Too many notifications. Bumble sends way too many notifications, mostly useless. I want a notification when I get a match and when I get a message-that is all. Sending me random notifications does not make me want to use bumble more than I usually would, it just annoys me and makes me want to delete it

Kicked off with no explanation. I am a school teacher. I never disrespected anyone, never rude... and I never violated any policies or community guidelines. I was kicked off bumble without explanation and my attempts to ask for clarification or what exactly I did wrong were totally ignored. After using bumble for several years, that's how you treat a customer? If you search, there are many stories like mine of people being banned with no explanation of what they did wrong . What kind of garbage is that? If people do something wrong, show proof! Tell them what they allegedly did ! Like I said, I did nothing to justify getting banned. That's unfair, unjust and unethical. Very unprofessional..and before you answer saying you investigate things thoroughly... you don't. You would have found I did nothing wrong.... and if your excuse is protecting accusers ... you don't have to reveal them... you can still tell people what community guidelines they have supposedly violated without revealing who accused them. Also investigating presupposes you talk to both sides... like police do when they investigate... and no one from bumble contacted me or asked me anything. PS Why has bumble not responded to my review? Probably because they have no justification.

Perte de temps solide. Je ne suggère absolument pas l’application, je suis en mauricie et c’est beau dire qu’ils y a des femmes qui s’inscrivent. J’ai reçu plus de match possible avec des américaines!? Le niveau d’activités féminines semble quasi-inexistent. Mais semblerait-il à ce que j’ai remarqué, une tonnnnnneeeee de femmes mais solidement plantées!?.. du genre, vraiment trop beau pour être vrai. Elles ont tous une scolarités de haut niveau.. genre je m’excuse mais si je vais à l’université Mc gill.. je vois même pas l’intérêt de m’inscrire à une application de rencontres.. on s’entend que ta juste à regarder autour de toi!!?.. je me suis intéressé à l’application par manque d’occasion donc à cause que je ne vois pas bcp de gens dans mon quotidien.. vos profiles semblent complètement fake et non plausibles.. tant qu’à ça.. je crois que Tinder est clairement plus plausible et réaliste que Bumble… c’est n’importe quoi

Not good for men with standards!. If you’re an extremely gorgeous guy and I mean the 1% percent and you have zero standards and you want to meet girls that look more like -10. This app is perfect for you!

Bot-Friendly. Same old, same old. Standard dating app that uses bots to try and get you to subscribe responding to made up profiles.

Don’t dare lose weight while using bumble!. Hey everyone, I recently lost 125 pounds and now my Bumble pictures don’t look like my verification picture because, you guessed it, losing 125 pounds makes you look a very different. Apparently the moderators at Bumble can’t understand this very simple fact and their trash customer service is only capable of sending copy pasted generic email responses or flat out banning you. I WAS BANNED FOR LOSING WEIGHT LMAO Use at your own risk. Pierre

There’s better dating apps.. I’ve given it 2 stars because of how easy the app is to use, now the downfalls : - The quality when uploaded completely ruins the photo by giving it a poor grainy contrast. With the modern technology you would think such an app wouldn’t have issues adjusting the photo size so the quality is still there. - I’ve had more matches in a day on other dating sites than I’ve had 2 months on this app. The conversations normally just fall flat because of the convenience of easily swiping right. So men can rapid like multiple females without even taking a look at the profile. - they don’t allow you to hit back even if you accidentally said no. 90% of other dating apps give you at least 2-3 chances to go back until you’re no longer allowed. Very frustrating. - there’s no options for not knowing if you even want children, you either want them or you have them. It’s 2021 guys. - the pricing they’re asking people to pay isn’t even worth it. There is no benefit to you or the people you’re talking to. - you either get the option of looking out 160km away or the entire country. No in between, and without even using the data it has on your location is will recommend people that are thousands of km away. Would be nice to have the choice of provinces or expanding the search area.

Not worth your time. As an adult male looking for a female adult woman, it’s completely and utterly useless piece of app. Too shy to make the first move, not enough users and always getting the same faces on their card stack - bottom line just use another platform.

Ewww. It’s amazing that you only seem to get matches when you pay or start a new account. Thanks for the games.

Remove the still interested/ archive push notification feature. Used to be a good app until they added this “still into this person” mid chat and if you hit continue you have to wait 24 hours for them to hit the still interested button even after you’ve both matched and have been talking. It ruins conversations and is just stupid 😂

Too many notifications.. Hey guys- consider either cutting the push notifications wayyyyy down, or letting us have a choice on which we want to receive! All these cheesy notifications are overkill. I’d rather just get notifications 1. When I have a match and 2. When I have a new msg. That’s it. Eliminate the rest! Otherwise fun app

48 hours at least. Not everyone checks this app every day.. Good connections could be lost forever with this stupid rule.

Don’t waste your time. You have to wait 24hrs for free swipes but then you get about 5-6 before they run out! What’s the point even. There’s also 0 point in paying, 0 features that make any difference to men

You can’t zoom In on the pics anymore? Wtf. Can’t zoom in no more, change that back

JUSTICE FOR LAUREN. A black woman died after being seen last with her bumble date. This app is obviously not safe for you ladies. It doesn’t care about your safety. Obviously they don’t control the people on there but at least acknowledge and support the investigation.

Wont recommend for women. TLDR at the end. It is well know that guys swipe right on everyone and they only check the girl out when they get a match. Not only that, but you have to text them first and in a 24h window. I can imagine that half of the guys that matched me only did because they used the method of swiping right on everyone, and having to text every guy because if not the match will expire is definitely a real waste of time. My other guess is that because a girl has to text first guys suddenly feel too good and think they can do better ? Really don't know. I don't want to sound like I expect everyone to like me, not at all. I am just not sure why guys stop texting you after like 2 days of having a match. I also don't have any problems by texting someone first, but in other apps I give it a couple of days (because if we only matched because he swipes right on everyone he would have unmatched me already) and then say hi. I have used other dating apps and have had way better experience than on bumble. Even on tinder, where 90% of guys are just there for hookups, I had better results meeting really nice guys who can keep a conversation going for days and are actually really excited to grab a coffee with you. I also was curious to know if anyone had a similar experience on bumble like me, and found an interesting reddit post in which a lot of people had the exact same issues that I did. I guess the idea of the girl texting first and only having 24h to reply only works if you can make sure that the people who matched you are actually interested in you. Something that is really difficult to accomplish. I rather match people and text them when I am ready, and give time too see if they are going to un match me for any reason. Pros: - you can filter guys who actually want something serious Cons: - guys do not make an effort to keep the conversation -the 24h window to reply to someone is a lot of pressure and a waste of time, keeping in mind guys swipe right on everyone TLDR: I used this app for around 4 months and nothing came out of it. I downloaded tinder a month ago and have had way better results. Even keeping in mind that 90% of guys are there clearly for hookups. At the end of the day I guess tinder is still the most used dating app and you can definitely find people who are interested in something serious.

“Empowering women” that sucks. I couldn’t stay without knowing how bad my profile was, i saw so many people saying girls have more chances in this app, i actually got depressed cuz of the low amount of likes i was getting per month (less than 10) I had to knew how true that was, so i went on a friend of mine’s ig profile (she’s a 7/10 tho) i took her pictures and made a SUPER SIMPLE profile on Bumble as a woman(with her permission btw), i made that 20 MINUTES AGO and I’m having +400 LIKES Must said that after 2 minutes swiping got a 24hrs UNLIMITED likes FOR FREE….. while you make boys pay for EVERYTHING “Empowering women” that is not empowering women dude, that’s giving undeserved privileges to literally every girl, you don’t even try to make them earn it while you don’t actually give us chances This is so disappointing Bumble, you let me down so bad, this app wasn’t made to date, THIS APP WAS MADE TO BRING MAN INTO DEPRESSION AND INSECURITIES To any brothers reading this: DONT DOWNLOAD THIS APP, WE ALL DESERVE BETTER THAN WHAT BUMBLE GIVES US

Accused. I downloaded the app and used it for several months only received one match (which is fine) and I only went on maybe once a week or so. Dated that match for a few months, so that was good, but about 5 months later I get a message that my profile is being moderated (under review because someone reported it). I messaged bumble and asked why and they said they couldn’t tell me and that decisions were final, I then asked for an apology for their allegations, I was told I wouldn’t recieve any. Here I am to tell my story in their review so future users can be aware of this nonsense.

Fake dating site. This site is 99% bots and old unused profiles. The app makers are scammers, just tricking people out of their money. Its all blatantly obvious within an hour on the app. App is made to scam people with very low IQ’s. Just delete this trash.

Meh. So many woman just using this for Instagram followers

hides your likes. this pos app hides your likes for the first 24hrs of making an account… i have made numerous accounts to test this and have confirmed it to be 100% true… like seriously

Avoid this app.. It’s a pay wall app. Swiping is free, everything else must be paid for. Yeah, the “support team” auto response, right?

Fakes or girls looking to promote. I’ve come across a few fake profiles and lots of girls just promoting their other social medias and or looking for people to subscribe to OF or other services, not very many genuine conversations or meet ups

Not really worth your time. As a guy, was really good when it first launched. But since then, I’d say over 80% of the profiles are fake and/or promoting the exact same OF page, and many with the same pics. Please clean up those fake profiles and make it much harder for them to start accounts. Also, too many people collecting likes and not actually talking. Perhaps make it so that if you match, and respond to the first message and start a conversation, and if they don’t respond within a certain time frame, it’s automatically unmatched and it reduces the amount of right swipes you get for the following week.

Absolutely disgusting.. I am going to ask out women in-person, start a family, and live a satisfying and a respectful life.

Filter. We should be able to use a filter to narrow down results. For example if I don’t want anyone who drinks or smokes I’d like to see only those people. Id also like to filter by ethnicity.

Butcher my pictures. Please STOP cropping my pictures and zooming into my face. it makes me look creepy. I know you to verify that I am a real person but your AI bots or whatever are stupid.

Canada East Coast. Sure Bumble is great in other parts of North America but in East Coast Canada , Halifax , Nova Scotia specifically don’t waste your time, just very few users and as a guy having to pay to message proactively only to realize there is little use in the region was a waste of $40

Do not purchase!!!. This app is run by criminals. Who knew a simple mistake in making purchases could cost me $50 because of a terrible refund policy! You should all be ashamed of scamming people out of their hard earned money with your horribly designed app. I’m being PUNISHED because of their greed.

Girls clearly miss the point of this app. Not trying to sound like a mad man or anything like that but, ladies... y’all know the point of Bumble is that YOU make the first move? Why am I still seeing bios that have “msg me first cuz I’m ‘too shy’”? If you’re “too shy” to message first, why are you still using an app that clearly states at the beginning of your account creation and upon matching that you, the girl, have to make the first move? Deactivate your account and download Tinder, Hinge or something that doesn’t require the girls to make the first move 😂 also, this is specifically for the Bumble devs, quit sending me notifications talkin bout “In the matter of seconds...” blah blah “someone likes you, open the app to see who” or whatever and when I open the app, there’s literally nothing in the Beeline 😐 don’t give us that false info/hope. Don’t lie in your push notifications. Lastly, y’all shoulda kept the rollbacks free of charge. Not to mention the amount of money you have set for your subscriptions are outrageous. 20 dollars for a week?? Almost 40 dollars for ONE month? Seriously!? Take a page out of Tinder’s book and make one month worth 20 dollars or something 💀 You can do better than this, Bumble. You should also consider allowing men to have some free chats to upon matching to relieve these “shy” girls from having to message first.

Better than tinder, but not by much. Sadly dating apps lure you in and give you matches for the first few days, then it appears that the apps will intentionally withhold matches in order for you to spend more and more money. If I could compare it to anything, it’s like a drug. The first hit is amazing, and then you’re forever chasing that high. I still recommend using the app, but it’s only good for a week or so. After that, you’re forced to spend money if you want your profile to be seen - and you’ll need to spend a lot to get the same results as you did when you first signed up.

Worst Dating App Ever! Waste of money!. The most boring app ever! Scam in a sense. No worth what so ever. 0 stars!

Swipe automatically. Hello! Is there a possibility to make the swiping less sensible? When scrolling down, even the slightest movement to the right or left, it registers as swiping and I keep accidentally like someone I don't even want to

NO MESSAGE EVER. This dating app like all other dating apps is trash. I’m sick and tired of matching with someone. Then they never message you at all. Why swipe right on a person if you have not attentions messaging them when you match. I’d be happy if you just messaged me saying I’m not interested. God is it impossible these days to get into a real relationship. I guess I’ll just die alone.

Tu me niase !. The app doesn’t care about guys ! Girls are aloud to put almost naked pictures but a guy cant post a pic without a shirt !

Waste of time✋. I’m on bumble every day! I swipe right on everyone.... I get zero matches 😂 and if I’m lucky to get one match every 6 months they don’t talk✋ you need a revamp make it more worth it for woman to join bumble

False advertising. You advertise it’s free but once you get I you need to pay in order to see your matches!!! Super disappointed!!!

WARNING TO MEN: Don't use this app. Dating apps in general are not good for men, but this one, Bumble, will make you feel broken, unworthy, and unloveable to a whole new level. If you want your self-esteem and confidence to take an enormous hit, then go ahead and download this app. Also, don't listen to a word that the developers may say about this app. It's designed to make money and that's it.

Met my husband. I met my husband on this app after swearing of never use a dating app. He was the first one I’d ever met up with in person and I fell In love instantly.

Archive the conversation?. This whole “archive or continue the conversation” thing is really dumb. What does it matter to you if we stopped talking for a few days?! Mind your own business and leave my conversations alone!

Be careful with “free trial”. It’s a good app for expanding your options for dates / friends if used in conjunction with trying to meet people IRL. I found relying solely on bumble will leave you disappointed. Also, the 14 day free trial really isn’t free. You will be charged for 6 months of service. Thankfully I was able to get mine refunded by Apple.

App lies to your face. The app literally gave me a notification saying someone liked me and of course i check and theres no like. Done that more than once

Understandable Intent, Unfortunate Results. Having used this app on and off with no success so far, it seems populated with roughly the same kind of people you would expect on Tinder, though the app is made to provide more detail and help ensure you find someone with the right personality, like I tend to want to instead of simply engaging in hookups. However, the dual features of matches expiring after 24 hours and only women being able to respond first to curb harassment makes it rather difficult for people like me, the good-intentioned though usually overlooked users, to be easily ignored. I have actually seen less engaging matches on here compared to any other site, even Tinder, and those matches usually have me requiring to respond first to start anything. It’s a shame because the app is structured well and provides great features, but it fails to let anything flourish for someone that normally does not make first approaches out of fear of rejection but does so on these apps. It can make using the app feel worse than simply doing nothing, something I have experienced multiple times. Also, I have been both a free and paid user with the same outcome of nothing when using this app as either status.

Be Patient!. Listen, I was pretty reluctant to go on a dating website because I honestly thought that I wasn't going to find anything. For the first couple of months I found people to talk to here and there and even went on a couple of dates with them but nothing ever stuck unfortunately. On February 1st, I really had enough and thought that it was pointless so I decided to give bumble a couple more days and then I was going to delete it. On February 3rd I matched with a boy named Cam. We talked for awhile on the app and finally decided to meet in real life since he only lived 30 minutes away from me. That one date led to another and another and then another after that. We have been together for almost 3 months now which doesn't sound like a lot of time but those 3 months have been the best months of my entire life. We are so in love with eachother and if it weren't for bumble we never would've met. So shoutout to bumble for matching me with the man of my dreams that I plan on spending the rest of my life with. And to those who are reading this... DON'T GIVE UP HOPE!!!

Bumble cares more about political correctness than it does a false abuse report.. I think we are all aware of the tension in politics that has happened in the last few years. You go on dating apps and everyone has their political views listed. Some of it hateful and some of it empowering. At the end of the day we’re all protected under the first amendment to express our views. Well someone most likely read what my bio had to say and decided to report me for “abuse”. The fact that there are people on these apps that are actual victims of abuse is what makes this disgusting. It’s fine to disagree with someone but to falsely report their account to have it deleted is something else. I messaged bumble customer support directly about this and they were not willing to listen to my side of the story. This app goes in line with cancel culture and has double standards for the users of its app. What I had on my bio was nowhere near controversial as to the stuff I would read about killing cops, causing harm to people with more right wing political views, etc. This app needs to review it’s rules and what it considers to be abuse, violence and hate-speech. And it also needs to do more homework and better investigation on when someone falsely reports an account. The fact that my account was taken down but there are others with worse things on there is disgusting.

It’s where the bots are. UPDATE: The developer response says they want meaningful swipes and that is why they limit right swipes. Very odd considering I just did 500 left swipes , and only one with a missed match. And he was a queer man. and my profile is only looking for women. Update: matched bot Rena again. Update 2: they give you approx 10 right swipes before they tell you you are out of likes. 1200 left swipes and two likes. My beehive has two matches , they are pixelated, but one of them is clearly bot Rena. I was online for 15 minutes with this account and Rena was too ? It’s a joke. They’ve never responded to my assertion that she is a bot. And it’s clearly still active. Original review I have deleted my profile four times then started again. Each time I have matched with a person I shall call engager bot Rena. She sends a rather bland, non-specific text, and I reply in kind. Then the engager disappears. there isn’t even a profile (like 2 others) that shows she disconnected . The last time she sent a text at 4:10a in the morning, saying good morning I hope we connect soon. Who is up at 4:00 doing that stuff? i’ve got the screen capture to prove this one Another Bot ended chat (her profile shows), but it says she ended chat 31 Dec, and it was May. U want our money for this sketch stuff?

Diversity & Interracial Dating Nonexistent. I think there should be a place that shows what ethnicity guys are interested in. I only say that because I am a black woman and there’s mostly white guys on here. And most white guys (especially in the South where I live) aren’t interested in talking to, let alone dating a black woman. It would be very helpful to have a “Who I’m looking for” feature on the guys’ profile. That way black women like myself are not having to guess on whether a guy would like me or not because of the color of my skin. (I found myself trying to see if a guy had black friends based upon his profile pictures or if he listened to black artists just to make a guess on whether he would even like me). My experience on Bumble made me feel undesirable & like I wasn’t even meant to be on here in the first place. And if that’s truly the case, I think it should be clarified in the App Store that this app is only for white people (I don’t mean to be cynical. I’m just being honest 🤷🏽‍♀️) I swiped right on a lot of white guys on here and none of them swiped right on me. The only person who did swipe right on me was the only black guy that I seen on here. Imagine that! I just think it would be easier to know beforehand if I had a chance of a guy outside my race liking me instead of just performing endless swipes on guys who wasn’t going to like me in the first place just because I am black.

Amazing!. Thanks Bumble, I ended up using this app for a year, I met some great Guys. I also, ended up falling in love with my boyfriend, in which we ended up dating for 7 months now, and he’s the best thing that has ever happened to me. Bumble allows you to adjust how far out you can match and like guys which was useful. My boyfriend lives in micanopy and I lived in ocala so the drive was nothing bad, and we were comfortable . When I first started using bumble I was skeptic about it, but the guys I met were actually pretty cool, nice guys in which we ended up being friends in the end. I think people overthink the use of dating apps and fear of the horrors of “what can happen” such as, predators and etc which you should fear and be extremely cautious, but People also, needed to understand that real people who are looking for dating and friends are on these sites as well and are not predators. Thank you Bumble for allowing me to expand what I’m looking for, and to also have the opportunity that I wasn’t expecting to meet such an, amazing Guy that Im dating and It feels right now and I can see the future as the same, so no doubts.

Best dating app out right now but.... Bumble has really made a name for its self. Giving women control over the conversation is a game changer and the pre made conversation starters are to die for and I love how you can set height preferences and get two free filters, but the cons are pretty hefty for me. One major update they need is gender identity. To be the best app and stay up there it would be great if people knew you are open to everyone. Having a gender identity option would be great for existing users so there is no more confusion. Also a lot of people complain about not getting notifications from the app and I can agree to that. Unless I see a badge icon or check the app I will not know if a guy messaged me and that takes away from the 24 hr window making a lot of us miss out on opportunities because no notification for messages come in but matches do. Some refining on the “looking for “ option would be great. It’s very difficult talking to someone when you want a relationship and they just want a hookup because the profiles don’t give that good of clarification. All in all bumble is a good app with amazing features and a growing community but within that community does come transgender people, non binary ppl, etc. There should be an option for them.

Suggestion. Great app, I like the function of everything but there is one detail that I think really needs to be changed. There is an ability to display your political affiliation with the options; conservative, liberal, moderate, or apolitical. This liberal option should be changed, as it is not an inverse of conservative. Liberal means favoring freedom and liberty (also having respect for and being open to others’ opinions, whether political or not), while conservative means liking the laws and government to be conserved, or stay the same. The inverse of conservative would be progressive, meaning wanting changes to laws and government. This is not how a scale works, and if it’s not a scale it doesn’t make sense to have moderate as an option. Liberal should be changed to progressive, or just change both to say Republican and Democrat which I think would be more effective because conservative and progressive are not specific on the areas people would like to conserve or progress in, while the political parties would be more specific on what somebody’s views are. I hope this feedback helps to improve the app

Tinder for lazy men. I love that Bumble is supposed to be female driven and has the policies of no tolerance to inappropriate behavior. But in practice, I’ve had far more luck making genuine connections on other apps. It seems like men swipe right on everyone but then decide if they’re actually going to respond if you reach out. The response rate even though we’ve matched is really low and the conversations even when I’ve tried to drive them are lackluster. I’m still seeing just as many profiles that indicate they want a hookup or nothing serious. Not something the app is responsible for, just an observation that the promise of putting women in control doesn’t seem to solve some of the problems of lazy men. The 24 hour time limit is also, while well-intentioned, frustrating without a hold button. I like to go backpacking, which is an activity that takes me off the grid. But if I match during that time I either have to pay for a redo or let a match go by. It doesn’t seem to value busy people. A feature that would let you put your profile into “away” mode seems like it could be really useful in helping to let busy, interesting people meet one another without looking disinterested.

Features broken. Not woman friendly.. Their "block" feature is broken. I blocked my co-worker (so awkward) then a few swipes later he popped up again. This happened with different people mind you. This isn't a very 'woman friendly' app after all. Also if men can extend 24 hours why can't women if a guy doesn't respond? I used to love this app for dating but with the block feature broken it's terrible and false advertising. Blocking doesn’t work and women can’t extend a match once you say hi. Bumble has responded and it’s bologna. Their block feature is broken as this has happened repeatedly (no they didn’t make new profiles this happens all the time in the same week I block every guy I see that I know and lo and behold he pops back up) and I as a woman can’t extend once I say hi and they don’t check their phone within 24 hours. Maybe I want to extend and am powerless to do so. I get way more matches on tinder and okcupid something about bumbles algorithm isn’t set up for successful matching and I’m a paying member. Their super swipe is a complete waste too. The person never sees it! I was super swiped by a guy and because I paid I could see him up top in green with a heart. I waited for a week of swiping to see if he’d show up as a match and he never did. Now I feel foolish for wasting the $2 on guys who never even saw me. You’d think it would push the match to the front of the line.

Honestly the best dating app I’ve ever tried. I have paid money for other apps that sucked. They would show you all the great catches as a preview of what’s out there but the minute you sign up all you find are bums and sloppy guys who don’t even care how they look in their profile pictures. Putting the women in charge of making the first move is genius. It means the men have to come correct. No more douche bags sliding into my DM‘s saying things like “Hello Bootyfull” Or shallow guys rejecting perfectly amazing women chasing Barbies that are physically out of their league. They are at our mercy and forced to be more realistic. I feel like I’m on the effing bachelorette and it’s awesome. All of the guys that I have found so far have amazing profiles like they really care about their first impression BC THEY HAVE TO if they want a chance with anyone. They have good jobs, exciting hobbies and they purposely list all the best things about themselves knowing that they have to compete with other great bc the woman have to choose them. It’s the best experience I’ve ever had and these guys are the real deal. And I feel like I’m allowed to have a standard again.

Quality has gone WAY down.. I started using bumble in 2018, and always liked that the profiles were detailed, and that women messaged first. What I recently noticed about the app is that it has completely transformed into a hookup app. Most of the people on there have their profile set to “not sure yet” when asked what they’re looking for, and most of the people that have “relationship” on their profile are totally weird. I also dislike that they got rid of the 3 free rewinds & the free rematching, because I looked at my past matches that have run out and was looking to connect with one of them - but I noticed that you can’t rematch for free anymore! It’s so obvious that none of the people using this app want a real relationship - like someone else said, your matches are too busy messaging the 100s of other girls that matched with them. Far too many of the men on here are just bored and need to relieve some boredom, but they should probably find a different hobby. I also recently noticed that I have no more possible people in my area to swipe on, which seems really odd because I don’t swipe right too often. How can I use the app if it says that there are no more bees in my area?!? Really considering deleting the app at this point, it’s just gotten poorer in quality.

Bumble will steal your money. That’s right.. Bumble has stolen money from me TWICE… but because they have a no refund policy it’s totally legal. I have been kicked off the app twice now. The first time was several months ago after using it for about a week. I didn’t meet up with anyone nor have an opportunity to go on a date with anyone. One morning I went to check the app and I could not get in. I tried multiple times to log in and nothing. I reached out to customer support and nothing. I decided to move on and just forget about it thinking it was just a glitch. I decided to try to create another profile this week. I was able to create a profile and as soon as I paid, I was kicked out of the app again. I literally downloaded the app a day ago and was kicked off. My theory is that someone saw my profile, who knows me, but doesn’t like me and they reported me. Whatever the case, it makes me wonder how much money this company has stolen from others in a similar manner? I’m currently still working to get my money back. I would think Bumble could investigate my brief history using the app to confirm whether I had done anything that would warrant being removed and or at least provide a refund since I hadn’t used the app for very long. An explanation would be nice too.

A political organization?. Initially I liked the idea of Bumble. I think too often other dating apps allow users to match, but make no effort to actually connect. With Bumble’s “consequence feature” you lose a match if you do not reach out in time. This ensures serious inquiries and leaves those looking for hookups to the likes of Tinder. With all that being said, I found my Bumble account inaccessible one day due to a political blanket statement regarding certain current events this year (2020). I scoured the pop up looking for the elusive “X” in a corner to get out of it. However, my only option was to click “Accept.” I have no clue what I was accepting. It seems Bumble was forcing users to accept their platform’s political interpretation and narrative. I fundamentally disagree with this. Bumble is an app designed ultimately for dating, and not a political organization taking a stand. Which stifles diversity on the app. At this point, perhaps Bumble should even consider removing political orientation from the “about you” section. After being forced to click accept or never access my profile again. I hastily and happily deleted my profile. Prior to this I would have generally considered Bumble as one of the better dating apps available. However, unless you accept and agree to their political narrative, you’ll find yourself unable to use the app for what it was designed for, dating.

Forced to comply. Unfortunately to avoid being accused of a ‘hate crime’ by writing this review I have to make it clear that I have no contempt or dislike for anyone who feels like they want to be a different gender. I frankly don’t care and it’s none of my business. I selected Man seeking Women when I set up the app, obviously. I assume anyone showing up in my feed or intentionally interacting with me is a woman seeking men. I am currently locked on a screen unable to use the app until I declare my gender again. There are three options of course, because that is the entire point. I must acknowledge that gender is a choice or not be allowed to use the app. Presumably I would get some kind of badge or ribbon on my profile signifying my compliance. There is no practical reason for this except to signal that I am politically obedient. Again, to be clear: It’s not people who are confused about their gender or want to change their gender or the one in a hundred million people who are born hermaphrodites that I have a problem with. It’s the heavy handed political litmus test- the virtual arm band signifying my loyalty to the cause that offends me. This craziness has gone too far. So since my choices are to either comply or delete the app I am choosing to delete the app. Its not very good anyway.

Don’t waste your time if you’re a guy. It’s a massive waste of time fellas trust me. You can only like about 20 people a day on the free version. And when you receive a like bumble makes sure they don’t show you that person during your swiping to make you pay for premium. Once a blue moon you’ll get lucky and they will show the person who liked you in the free version. I’ve even done the paid version multiple times for about six months worth. It’s outrageously priced at $40 a month. They’re insane charging this for multiple reasons. 85% of the likes you’ll receive are fake profiles that say “add my snap” and the 15% that do match you that are real don’t message you since the ladies have to message first. I’ve even utilized their boost multiple times during peak hours and got barely any likes. Which by the way boosts cost money and you only get one free one a week with premium then they’re about $7 each after that. So you end up buying the bundle deals. This app is a cash grab trust me don’t ever pay for it. Honestly don’t even use it. The free version is terrible. There’s so many other free dating app options that let you send 50 likes a day and their paid versions actually get you matches. I wasted six months of money on this app and will never spend a penny on it again.

Disappointing. Well to start off, an app where you expect women my age to start a conversation or contribute efforts to first talks is laughable so that already drops my rating to a 3 star. Sadly any matches that most of us will get are either spam accounts, people promoting their nudes to sell and scam people, or possibly tiny portions of REAL people that are not ready for any sort of engagement let alone a relationship. Hence, you wait 20 hours for their vanity and ego boost then they unmatch. Another problem I encountered was the castle wall of payments to even attempt to change that outcome. 30 likes, literally swipes to say i’m interested in talking, cost $100 freaking dollars. Your premium account price is akin to a Gold’s Gym membership or a nice meal I could’ve spent on a date. 26 dollars a month isn’t breaking banks but it’s stupid considering what you’re giving. All these dating apps must be smoking meth, it is sad to see you set that steep a price and gatekeep what essentially is a gamble on a half built platform. My recommendation would be to try Hinge, I have spoken to and had nice dates with a few women and it didn’t cost me my kidney to arrange it. They were happy with the outcome as well, not being swamped by rich meandering narcissists or creeps because the platform takes care of that.

They just take your money. update. Now that I let the app end all of the sudden now I’m getting all sorts of likes. This has happened on multiple occasions. Stop paying for the app. Then you get likes left and right. Pay them to see the likes. Then respond to the people who like you then they immediately unlatch with you. Keep this up I’ll see you in court. Believe me bumble. I have the lawyers and the finances to retire off your company that uses and lies to people. You’re praying on people for your greed. I’m seriously thinking about a class action lawsuit taking place in your very near future. This app is full of bots and to even be seen you have to constantly pay to be on the spotlight. Once you do that you get all sorts of likes from people. Which you try to match with and then they don’t match back. Even though they are the ones who swiped on you to match. Or they match with you and give you very robotic bot questions. Then they quickly un match with you. This app preys on people who are trying to meet someone. You may get lucky and find one or two humans on here. Worthless and the only thing the company will say is sorry for the bad experience we take bots seriously oh but thanks for all the money you dumped on us, we will just keep that.

Found true love through Bumble!. Little bit of a long story so here goes! I downloaded Bumble in September of 2019 and I had tried Tinder and other routes of dating and nothing seemed to be working. A friend of mine recommended I try Bumble and after a couple days I was at work scrolling through and I come across this beautiful lady. Very sincere in every word, felt like I got a strong understanding of who she was on the profile descriptions she had. I swipe right on her and think “no way she matches with me but hey worth a shot” next thing I know it was an instant match! I was excited but not getting my hopes up, it’s internet dating this doesn’t go very far most of the time. She texts me a couple a hours later and we start talking about music, both of our lives and what we do for work, shortly later we FaceTime and we talk consistently for a month before finally meeting in person. We started dating in October, 2019, got engaged October of 2021 and just got married in September of 2023! If it wasn’t for Bumble I would’ve never met my wife and I don’t know where I’d be in my life.

Poor customer service. I had an issue with my account because it was deleted by a coworker who had gotten access to my phone and then they proceeded to create a new one in complete opposite tastes to what I like (first was seen as a heterosexual account, male pursuing female, however the second was a homosexual account with male pursuit male). So I sent an email to the customer service team. Just asking if they could revert the account to before it was deleted. And no response had been given for a few days. Sent another email asking if their would be a response, and no. Their was no physical response. But they did decide to go in and block my account with the reasoning “Your account has been blocked due to multiple people reporting you”. At this point I send another email asking if it was because of real people reporting me, if so, what did I do? Or if it was me, could they just let me recreate the account and be done with it. Fast forward 2 weeks with no response and I send a last email saying I will tell my story. Oh and by the way, I’ve paid to use the app for a short period of time so you would think they would care at least to give any type of at least genetically automated response given how big of a company they are. But no. Just ignores everything and blocks people at slightest issues.

Delete it all. I’ll give it 2 stars because there’s potential and the function is still there but overall this is a waste of time. Women messaging first makes matching a waste of time because you can’t stand out instantly by messaging them. Also all they do is send “Hi”, waiting for me to start a topic so what’s the point. Also they have 24 hours to message you and you have 24 hours back which is nonsense. For full access it costs about $22 a month and Tinder costs $8 a month. I can swipe until my phone dies on tinder but it might take 5 minutes on Bumble ie low amount of users. You can run out of likes on free Tinder but on free Bumble it’ll close you out on just swipes alone for 24 hours. The filter options are nice where you can pick height, exercise, drinking, smoking etc but the high quality selection on here will run out quick (standards vary). I see this as a break from the toxicity of tinder where 2/3 are sex scammers or game players but it feels the same after a couple days. I have had a fair amount of success on tinder (hookups, dates, and relationships) but do yourself a favor and don’t go on any dating apps. Do it the old fashion way and wait until you get lucky out there. You’ll save yourself stress, time, and whatever emotions you bring into it.

Only Allowed to Make Friends w/same Gender. I used to have this app to try and look for a date, but after getting a boyfriend (not through Bumble) I decided to look for friends to match with instead. To my disappointment, you can apparently only match with friends of the same gender. I am male, but I identify as agender (meaning I just don’t really feel a connection to the concept of gender). This meant that it just kept suggesting me regular men who were typically straight. Now I don’t hate straight men, but I have so much more in common with women, trans people, and non-binary folks, not to mention men are statistically significantly more violent towards people like me, especially in a conservative state like mine. I have emailed Bumble about it because I was confused as to why no women were showing up, and they basically said they had no intention of changing it. Assuming that males can only be friends with other males and females can only be friends with other females is incredible heteronormative and sexist. I liked everything else about the app, but couldn’t even use it because I had no friends to match with. It would really be as simple as just adding the option to choose which genders show up in the friends part. I mean, you can match with both men and women when looking for relationships, but not friends? That hardly makes sense.

Scam!. This app is completely worthless. You might match with someone but most of the profiles are old or fake. I've had this app for over 3 years and I even paid for the extra features. It still doesn't matter. Nobody ever replies. They basically only care about money, not actually linking you with anyone. They actually have incentive to prevent you from matching because they want you to keep paying and keep searching for someone. They also have no incentive to filter out and remove fake and old profiles. The technology to do this is extremely simple, available, and inexpensive to implement. They want lots of fake profiles because they make money off of it. For example, they have a feature you can pay for called “super swipes“ where you can skip the waiting process and tell someone immediately that you are interested in them. If you send a super swipe to a fake or old profile, Bumble makes money off the super swipe, and the consumer gets nothing. This app is literally fraudulent. I don’t understand how any of this is legal. There is a reason they’ve been sued more than once. This app is extremely unethical and Apple shouldn’t even be contracted with them. I have had the app on my phone for over five years. I have sent over 100 super swipes. It never results in anything. I think I’ve only talked to a handful of actual people.

Good App but slow support service with bug. Can’t complain about the app itself. I’ve been enjoying it and decided to get premium for a month. I travel somewhat often and started experiencing issues with the location updating back to my home city after returning. I reached out to the support team and it would take 1-2 days to get a response of a suggestion to change a setting or restart. Still, my location would not update. After 3 or so emails, I reinstalled the app one day and that seemed to fix the issue. I asked if I could have premium extended since it took close to 2 weeks since my initial email. I was told it was sent to their billing team to review. No answer or update. I sent a follow up email. No answer or update. Yesterday I went out of town and upon returning am experiencing again the issue with the location not updating to my home city. I was disappointed with the lack of communication and support from the support/billing team. Definitely do not feel premium was worthwhile since I only got to really use it for 50% of the month. Outside of that issue, the app is good and facilitated me meeting a few new people.

No matches. I’ve subscribed to this app a few times in the past, and I keep seeing a pop-up that says subscribe to see people who already like you. In my opinion Bumble is better than the other useless dating apps, but there’s a huge flaw. I NEVER HAVE ANY MATCHES!!! I’ve unsubscribed before in the past because the app said I had matches and when I clicked on them; nothing was there. Kept it for a few days after then unsubscribes. Downloaded again a few months later to see if it might actually work this time and show me people that’ve actually swiped on me. Low and behold “You have matches” popped up, I clicked on matches, and NO MATCHES again. At this point I’m just wasting my money subscribing, because without the subscription obviously you can’t see who liked you, or anything. Well you can’t see your matches when you subscribe either. What’s the point of having the thing if I’m just swiping with no results. Bumble Support before you reply back, yes I have the latest IPhone software and app update, deleted the app and downloaded again. If it’s a programming problem then it should be an easy fix; if not, then people are losing their money because y’all have everyone subscribed to see matches and everything else with a subscription just to turn around and get nothing in return.

If you have nothing better to do with your time and money. Been on here for about a month, my filters are set appropriately 39-55 looking for female. I am a 7/10 conservatively my search is set for whole country because I believe my choices are limited where I live. I have swiped till I can not swipe any more. I’ve experienced 6 matches, 6 matches??!! Seriously??!!! of them two never sent a message two were given extra time also never sent a message. I was not allowed to post a picture of myself at gun range?! Is this illegal? Immoral? Or on bad taste? I don’t think so, lots of women hating conservatives and Trump to push a socially political agenda. The conservatives seem to be much more polite as they just say swipe left if you don’t like my political affiliation. I don’t understand why someone can not post a real picture of themselves doing a sport activity that millions of people enjoy and do, but allow people to post pictures that are so heavily filtered they look like cartoons! Always scroll to the last picture for the real persons looks, seems like false advertising to me. I am not bitter nor am I hating on your app you have every right to capitalize on lonely souls looking for love in all the wrong places, but as for me I’ll just go back to live events where I can actually meet someone with the same interests and actually speak to them.

Don’t get premium. I got premium for a week to see if I would get better results and to be able to bring back the people that I timed out with. While I had premium, I got no swipes. I thought no one liked me, which is fair. But as soon as I ended my premium, a bunch of people swiped on me. Not only that, but I’ve been spamming swipe right to try and match with them, but not a single one has matched 😐 I’ve swiped so much that I continue to use up all my swipes for the day. Bottom line, don’t get premium. It’s a waste of money and bumble is just trying to scam you. They said it’s cause of advanced filters, but I swiped so much when I had filters on, that it started expanding out side of my filters (mind you, I had filters even before I had premium, so nothing changed) and that still doesn’t change the fact that with every swipe I get (and I swipe right on literally everyone because I’m desperate to make friends) none of them end up being the people that matched with me. Bottom line, if you are serious about making friends like I am, I don’t recommend this app, per my personal experience 👍🏾

They stole my money! Beware of this app!. I used bumble for years, and had really enjoyed the app. I had a match that I’d been talking with ask for my Snapchat, and after I gave it to him, he started asking me how much it would cost for explicit photos. Naturally I was offended and didn’t accept his request or respond to the messages. About an hour later I went onto bumble and saw my account was blocked for trying to sell services. I reached out to bumble about the mistake and was told they wouldn’t give my account back. I made a new one and a week later was having technical issues. I send a report to bumble about it and received a message that everything was working fine. I downloaded the trial of boost to see if that would fix the issue, but it didn’t so I cancelled it one day into the fourteen day trial. When I went on to the app, I saw that once again my account was blocked for trying to buy or sell services. I reached out to support yet again, because I did NOTHING to cause this, and was told that they wouldn’t give my account back and made no mention of refunding the money I shouldn’t have been charged with in the first place. This app presents itself as a safe space for women, which is what I liked about it, but it really isn’t considering I’m out $50, which is a lot during a pandemic and blocked because some random man was angry I wouldn’t sell him nudes.

It’s alright. It’s got finer control over non-paywall functions than Tinder-as in, I can fill my profile out a bit more, but man, today I logged in, swiped ONCE and was told “You’re out of likes for now” and was prompted to pay monthly if I wanted more. There needs to be some sort of hard timer that the end user can see that lets you know “Hey, you’ve got this much time before you can swipe right again”. But that would defeat the point of artificially restricting swipes-and it’s not because Bumble encourages “conscious” swiping. A restriction like this and lack of a visible way to tell when you can swipe again encourages engagement with the algorithm and pushes you to pay their insane monthly subscription cost. It’s honestly just gonna drive me to engage with Tinder more or just disengage from online dating apps entirely. Especially when, after you’ve paid that monthly subscription, they trip over themselves to offer you a half priced month the next month, since-again let’s be honest-you’re gonna sub and cancel to avoid getting charged twice. The “50% off” is the real price, but you gotta pay through the nose to get that offer.

Bad Bumble Bees. I had a negative experience on Bumble wherein a not so gentleman named Horace Royal reached out to me after my initial “swipe right”. After a couple of text exchanges, I discovered that he lived in a mist undesirable part of town. Without malice, I simply stated that I don’t go to that part of town. Horace then proceeded to block and report me for “abusive language “; after which I received an email admonishment from the Bumble administrator. When I explained the situation I was notified that it had happened before. The issue that I have with this is that petty, insecure and immature men who lack the ability to accept rejection have the ability on this app to shut down your account. The administrators view the false complaint(s) and not your actual texts. I explained to the administrator that if they viewed my texts prior to sending an unwarranted warning they would have seen that I have never said anything untoward, unkind or malicious to anyone on the app. We, as females, have the right to reflect potential suitors for ANY reason and should not be penalized by the app for exercising this right. False allegations should be thoroughly vetted before sending out unfounded warnings. Anything less than a thorough review opens the door for silly men to secretly victimize women from the coward’s corner of a computer screen!

Very disappointed. This use to be my favorite dating app, but I had a malfunction with my app. It hasn’t been the first time, but I never complained. I’ve had it for a few years now. I have paid for bumble boost and consider myself a good customer. Well I emailed the company about my app not working. I had deleted the app itself a few times praying that my conversations were saved. I still had no luck . The company asked for my information to my account. I just got an email back saying that they have decided to permanently delete my profile because of complaints and being mean to others? First off, do better research because You have the wrong person. Also, I’ve talked to some strange people and I’m pretty confident they would violate many more guidelines than myself. I think I’m just more disappointed because they have the wrong impression of me and I’ve been nothing but a loyal customer. So to get permanently deleted makes no sense especially when I’ve been spending my own money. So now I’ve lost good conversations I had with some cool people due to false accusations.

Pretty Horrendous Customer Service. So I accidentally purchased a Premium plan a while back, whatever, my fault. Happened to get off all dating app platforms shortly afterwards until just recently, and trying to get my purchase restored to my new account has been a nightmare. First off, I’m fairly certain Bumble is the sole app that lacks an in-app purchase restoration option, which feels pretty shady. As far as I can tell, they also lack a customer service chat AND phone number, leaving e-mail as the only available method. Initially, I was told they couldn’t find my purchase receipt. Then, after explaining that I was not the primary account holder in my Family Plan and perhaps it was tied to that email — though it shouldn’t be, as it was made my from previous Bumble account tied to my Apple ID — they stated they had in fact already found it, but they would instead need the payment confirmation from my email. Ended up providing it in a response, then tried following up and even sent a whole new inquiry, and still have yet to hear anything from them after several hours. I have to ask, is this an intentional run-around to withhold services despite payment? Perhaps even aiming at further purchases made out of exasperation?

Support Won’t Respond Back. I enjoy using Bumble, but I have sent in 3 support tickets with no response. It’s been a month, and their support team has not responded. I’m at a loss on what to do. This is disappointing considering I paid for the lifetime subscription. Be wary of spending money with Bumble because if something goes wrong, they are not there to help. EDIT: at two months of reaching out to support, I still cannot get to a person that can help. I have emailed back and forth with support for months… When I purchased the lifetime bumble in 2019, it included travel mode and advanced filters. For the past 4 years, I have been able to use those with the subscription that I purchased. Recently, Bumble changed their purchasing model to have 2 options: bumble boost and a premium option. Bumble has taken away the advanced filters and travel from lifetime Bumble subscribers that purchased years ago and is expecting them to pay AGAIN all because they rebranded their purchasing options. This is ridiculous and unfair. On top of that, their support is unresponsive and unhelpful. The old support could help super quickly—now 90% of the responses I am getting from support are canned or from bots. I wish I could speak to a person who could help. This is so sad for your brand.

Going downhill. I really enjoyed this app more than other dating apps. Bumble was my absolute favorite. However, I see its starting to be like other apps. I noticed changes , back swiping you got 3 free chances . Now they want to charge with no chances at all. And paying to swipe through matches limits me to meeting someone, or to the very least slows the process down very much. Waiting a whole 24 hours before being able to search again because I “used my limit for the day” is very frustrating. Nor will I pay 10 dollars and up . 10 being just unlimited for a week. They’re trying to find their ways to make more money , I get it. But at this rate I think I outta just dress nice and go to the produce section to find someone. Rather than sit and wait a whole dang day to swipe again. Come on people. Oh . And my photo of shooting a legal pellet gun at a shooting range supervised was taken down. I included that photo because that is one of my favorite hobbies. I am not a gun owner and do no shooting outside of the range nor with anything more intense than a pellet gun. But I guess a legal sport wasn’t “politically correct “ and went against their standards. Photo was taken down near immediately.

The best dating app!!. To put it simply, I met the love of my life on this app. I had it on and off for about a year and met a lot of (mostly) great people and had many interesting conversations, but none of the relationships ever worked out. I decided to keep faith that maybe my person was on this app, and I met them! I am the happiest I’ve ever been now. I like the way bumble is set up so you can filter exactly what you’re looking for, so you don’t waste your time on people who are looking for completely different things. I also like the 24 hour rule, because on tinder you can have 300+ matches and only talk to a few of them, but the 24 hour rule is nice because you create more meaningful connections. I never bought boost, as I felt the regular version of the app was enough for what I needed and I never had problems matching with cool people. If you’re new to online dating, definitely give bumble a try! You might have to go through a few bad dates before you meet the one, but I really think this app has the potential to create more long and meaningful relationships.

It’s okay. I downloaded the app soulfully searching for the opportunity to make more friends. I do like the whole bff concept where it only shows people that are looking for platonic/ friend relationships. Which is mostly girls/ women that I’ve come across. Every now and then a boy or two will pop up. But it’s unlikely just because men are more than likely looking for hook ups. However, I do have my opinions about the app. Things that could be added and taken away. One being, making it possible to upload short videos to one’s profile. Second being, adding more space for more pictures. Six just isn’t enough. Finally, the third thing I’ll mention is, taking away the whole timer thing. Why do I only have a limited amount of time to start a conversation with someone? Or a limited amount of time to reply back? You do know people are busy with their life right? No-one is looking at their phone 24/7. And a lot of us don’t care to have the notifications on. You guys are really showing how greedy you are. This is why I like Hinge better. Also, I don’t know what it is, but my messages aren’t sending or other people are receiving them. Pretty much just fix your app sheesh.

Bumble BFF is life changing. I downloaded this app after I had a falling out with my friend group. I was in a bad spot, desperately in need of some people in my life that I could trust and have a good time with. I downloaded bumble and used the BFF feature, but I didn’t really think anything would come of it. But after quite a few dead end conversations, I matched with a girl and we really hit it off. She introduced me to some of her friends, many of who she had met on bumble too. We all quickly became close friends, seeing each other 2-3x a week. Since then, I have met 4 or 5 other people on the app that I have introduced to my newfound friend group, and our group continues to expand with new people that we meet on bumble. I now have more amazing, trustworthy, GREAT friends than I had ever had in the past. These friends will all be my lifelong friends. Relationships are such an important part of my life, and I truly have never been so happy. If you are considering downloading bumble to use the BFF feature, don’t hesitate, just do it. You never know, it could change your life. Thank you bumble.

Awful Customer service. I spent some money to buy coins to super swipe for someone. After an update on the app I lost a few remaining coins that I still had from my purchase. I reached out to customer service and have heard nothing back from them over a weeks time. Not even to say they are looking into the event. I’ll never spend money on this app again. Update: I wish I could post the screen shot response I got from customer service asking me to contact customer service via Twitter or Facebook. Uh, NO! First of all, did you even read my review that states I have reached out to customer service through the app and never received a response? So you want me to reach out to customer service again? No, it’s your job as customer service to get in touch with me, the consumer after I file a complaint. Secondly, you want me to reach out via social media? Absolutely NOT! Outlets like Facebook and Twitter go out to the world and in turn follows your activity for a better online and social media “experience.” So no, I will not be reaching out via social media. Thirdly, you’re a world wide app that uses social media for your customer resolutions? That’s a joke... with that being said, I’ll continue to use your app to it’s free potential, but will never spend money and I don’t recommend anyone ever spends money on this app.

Run by ideologues. I got banned for stating in a polite way that I prefer women who are fit. I said this in this exact way, and apparently preferring women who are the size they are supposed to be is a ban-worthy offense. It is apparently not a problem whatsoever for women to post height requirements. Disgusting double standard. You can exercise, you can’t get taller. Sexist app with terrible admins. Update: Stated that their team investigates cases, which might be true, however, they also said they do not ban people arbitrarily. If you are not banning every woman who has a height requirement you should not be banning any man with a weight threshold. The response to this review is a joke, and upon contacting their support team they only refer you to their rules. When you realize you did nothing wrong, they say they will have someone look at your case and tell you what rule you violated or correct the mistake, but I have yet to receive word on either. Where is the support, bumble? I was a paying customer at one point and would be again if this ridiculous garbage didn’t happen. Look how many reviews are because of people being banned for: asking someone their gender, stating a weight preference, asking someone if they are trans, etc. They are all men. It is very clear that the bumble team is not at all being fair or impartial.

Block Feature Doesn’t Work; Horrible Customer Service. I’ve reached out multiple times to Bumble, and I’ve never received a response. I’ve even sent them screenshots (since I can’t send screen recordings) that prove their Block feature does not work. I can Block someone, then see that same person within a week. Actually, I blocked someone last night, and this morning, guess what... there they were in my search again! The Block feature isn’t for paying members only, but guess what, I AM a paying member. So I can see these people I’ve blocked in my Bee-line AND in my search. Obviously you’re not treated any better or with anymore priority if you’re a PAYING member. So poor customer service is going to be equally distributed between non-paying and paying members. Notifications come through sometimes, sometimes I just have to go into the app to see the message. Location feature isn’t accurate either, and conflicting at times. I can have someone “4 miles away” in DFW, but they’re listed as also being at a Florida airport. That’s literally impossible. Bumble did a whole campaign against guns being displayed in pictures, but they could care less about bloodied hunted and fished animals in pictures. No blood=bad, Blood=good. Tell me how that makes sense. 😒

Scam app. I finally caved into the “online dating” and what an absolute hoax… This is pretty much what I’ve heard Tinder has turned into. Made an account and was told to “get swiping” so I can find matches, then was told I was over-swiping and got locked from swiping for a week. They claim to discourage over-swiping unless you pay ridiculous money for a monthly service, this also includes seeing who has swiped you. I get excited for a notification daily that two people “liked” me today, but it’s the same two people from when I first signed up and they aren’t “new” likes at all. Stop sending the same notification like it’s new… Girls get on this app and then meet somebody, but never remember to delete their account; so you’re just swiping on somebody who will never even see it. I strategically only swipe on accounts that say “new here” but that only lasts a week or two. At least you actually have a chance at connecting with a person that looks at their account. Also, the female always messages first and it’s just opposite of human nature. More connections would be made if men could make the first move. I understand and appreciate the concept but it simply doesn’t make sense unless it’s a hook-up app.

New Match Queue Feature. I guess they added a feature for the Bumble Boost Match Queue, that keeps people in the queue that swiped on you and then left town, or keeps people in your queue who swiped on you when you were out of town. Since they rolled out this new feature, over half of the guys in my match queue are super far away from me. I have my search radius set to 50 miles away. I’m getting guys in my queue who are 100+ miles away. I live in Oklahoma and I have guys still in my queue from FLORIDA that I assume are there from my vacation back in JUNE. I also have guys from Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, and have gotten several from Texas and Colorado. This feature is AWFUL. If other people want to set their search radius for super far away, fine. But if mine is set to 50 miles, I don’t want to see ANYONE outside that radius! Even if I was in the same town as they were for a short period of time, and even if they swiped on me. If I had wanted to see who was available while I was in Florida, I would have opened the app to look. But I wasn’t interested in guys halfway across the country then, and I’m not interested in them now. It’s been an absolute chore to try and weed through them, but it never seems to end and honestly, I’m exhausted! I hope they fine tune this feature or give us an option to turn it off.

24 hour rule is outdated.. Bumble does what it can to bring quality to dating via online. I think some improvements could be made with the 24 hour response rule. This just is simply too short of a window. Bumble promotes the app as a woman empowered app where we should go out in the world and be the baddest Bees we can be! Yet, we’re supposed to be tied to our phone waiting for that match to come in and then message within 24 hours. I feel this goes against what Bumble preaches. Sometimes I’m a busy bee taking on the world at work and don’t have time to message someone within 24hours and the same for bumble guys. I think, not sitting on a match forever is right on, but I suggest a “3-day rule” for initial responses. Give people time to have balance with dating and other life responsibilities. Also, why can men extend a match for 24h but women cannot? The app says if a match expires you can have a chance to match again but why would I swipe again on a person that either ignored me or ran out of time the first time? That basically makes women continue to throw themselves at men... just saying.

Misleading Notifications, Defective Swiping. In terms of people on the app, Bumble is pretty decent. You have the ability to filter to only verified profiles which is nice. However, Bumble notifications are what annoy me the most. Why send a notification if you don’t have a like or a match? Some notifications are so misleading and it’s just about getting people back on the platform and back on their phones. It’s about business as usual, trying to keep you on the app for as long as possible while not getting you a match. I get that this is the model that all dating apps function on but at least try to make it less obvious. People who are motivated to find someone don’t need a reminder to go on a dating app. They just need to know when they get a match or a like. That’s it. Concerning the swiping mechanism, I can’t tell you how often I’ve swiped right or left by accident while trying to scroll down on a profile. I would suggest changing the sensitivity of the swipes or using buttons instead like Hinge. Also something that goes for all dating apps, not just Bumble. Spotlight should be active for at least 6h, not 1h. I’m glad Bumble gives you 1 free Spotlight a week, but come on, one hour is not enough for the price you would pay if you bought one.

The app is not inclusive. I downloaded this app to make friends and am very disappointed after attempting to use Bumble BFF. I am nonbinary and the BFF section of the app only allows you to view people who share the same gender as you. Being that we are are such a small percentage of the population, this only allows me to see very few people in my area (practically none). I wrote to support explaining the issue and asking if I could have three option of selecting who I want to be friends with since I do not use gender to determine who will be a friend. They refused to accommodate my request and said they only allow you to match with your same gender to discourage misuse of the app. I feel this practice only caters to one demographic and the issue could easily be resolved by them allowing users to select which genders they are open to being friends with, similar to how other apps do it. It’s clear they only care about satisfying one demographic and couldnt care less about anyone else. They also refused to update my name despite me telling them it’s my deadname. They insisted I show ID when I explained my IDs only have my deadname. I also don’t want to share my personal info with them such as my passport. I was willing to verify my pictures are real and that should have been enough.

Bumble Hates it's Free Users. I used to enjoy using Bumble (as much as one can enjoy dating apps), but I refused to spend the amount required for the premium/boosted memberships. With the free version, I could swipe to my heart's content and take advantage of the two free advanced filters. This was especially important to me because I am looking for someone who wants to be in a relationship and matches my political beliefs. However, with the recent update, all the enjoyable features have been blocked by the paywall now. I didn't mind the ads or the fact that I couldn't see who liked me. But now, I cannot use my advanced filters. Worst of all, I can only swipe on a limited amount of people on the app (if you use up all your "swipes" in date mode, it affects BFF mode too). Now I'm prompted to wait until tomorrow to even look at ("connect with") more people. This service is slowly turning into other dating services that I refuse to use because they are pointless unless you pay for membership. Part of Bumble's mission statement claims that it wants to create empowering connection in love, but limits those possible connections from who cannot afford the exorbitant cost of membership. Please Bumble - return the aforementioned features to your free users, or you will lose many more users than you gain.

Subscription has ruined this app. I used bumble a while back and I found it was very easy to use and helped me find a few dates. I recently decided to give it another go, but in order to actually see any of the people who like you you have to pay a $21 subscription fee. What’s the point? Look, I’m completely understanding that companies are looking to make money off of apps, but most of them allow you to use basic features for free, or at the very last show ads. That’s not even the case at all here. They let you waste time building a profile, adding pictures, seeing if there’s anyone you want to match with, then God forbid anyone likes you back and you want to see them, you have to subscribe. Also $21 is steep. Most streaming services don’t cost half of that price and it just seems insane to me. I will uninstall and never use again when there’s plenty of other working options for this type of thing out there that let you use their service without requiring paying monthly. Also, it’s $21 a WEEK, $45 a month. Also can you cut the crap with the adding pronouns section? If somebody cares so much about letting you know, they can easily put it in their bio. Thanks for the heads up. God forbid I found a solid match and they didn’t have the pronouns I was interested in, I’d have to swipe left.

Terrible app won’t inform why your blocked. I used the app for 48 hours looking to make friends and they block me with no explanation. Went through their email service for 3 days straight asking why I was blocked and was told they cannot tell me the reason for privacy reasons, but when you report on their site about issues they give the ability to “find out why I’m blocked” and then will circle their email back to they cannot give you a reason. Such a WASTE OF TIME. Why give they option on your site if you’re going to just tell people they can’t get that information?Unfortunate that I even have to write this review, but hope a better app to make friends comes out and drives all their business away. Seems like all they want is money and thankful I didn’t pay for this scam of an app just to make friends. I hope someone makes a better app for people to make friends that actually gives their community the reason for the block when providing a help email. Sad how someone can be blocked just for writing messages the same way to people as I stated in an email to them if the only phrase they know in a specific language that’s discrimination right there and would be a great start for a lawsuit on their hands. DON’T download unless you’re okay with huge possibility of being BLOCKED FOR LIFE

Review. App limits swipes more than other apps and counts left swipes as part of the total swipe limit. It almost feels like you’re penalized for not paying for the app. What the app offers doesn't warrant the prices for their premium memberships. I’ve also experimented with the options and they sometimes lock potential matches that fit all of your filters behind your beehive and won’t show them to you no matter how many times you swipe. There’s no real time limit given when you run out of swipes. This could work against them when people have notifications turned off and live busy lives. Out of sight out of mind and they’re are more and better interactive apps. Overall the UX and UI is good, but as all things, could use some improvement. The time spent on the app is limited due to low swipe limit and 24hour match jail. Also, their prices and mistakes they make with purchases doesn’t help their cause. Also, I didn’t get a vaccination option like other people, which is a bug that I can’t fix without deleting my account. They do a lot of things right, but the few things they lack really hit the user experience in the gut. 3 stars

Pretty good app, even for free members. It takes a little getting used to the app to learn the features, but it is good, overall. It would be nice if it had a tutorial for those of us who never tried Tinder and are new to this style. I appreciated the selfie verification system, which seems to have lowered the amount of scammers just using stock photos and claiming to be that person. Free members can select only two filters for their search, but since you can see if someone is verified from the blue symbol next to their name, you don’t really need to waste one on that. I also appreciate that conversations are initiated by the women. This allows me to reach out to only people I am interested in and decreases the amount of shallow “hi beautiful” opening lines I have to deal with. (Seriously guys, stop commenting on a woman’s appearance in your very first words to her.) Bumble lets you message others if you have a match, even if you are a free member. You can’t see who has liked you without upgrading, though, so you will only see that someone liked you if you match. I actually prefer this a lot!
