Bumble Dating App: Meet & Date Positive Reviews
Unbelievable.I’ve been using Bumble for quite some time maybe over a year I’ve been on other dating sites that you just go online with. Or download their apps. But the one I could not believe that I have not got played on and let me stress this out the most. I have been blackmailed on dating sites, I have had my email account stolen. I had my Facebook stolen. I had my messenger stolen. I even been hacked by hackers some of them dating sites and also through Instagram and through Facebook. I’ll try to use Instagram and Facebook pages to meet people, but I just end up falling for that all scamming going on that people are dressing themselves up to be women when it’s actually somewhat else that they still identity, and photograph claim that you find out they’re not real. I don’t know what is bumble is doing, but they’re keeping the scammers and blackmailers off this site. I believe this site is the safest site. I’ve been on that never been scam or blackmail. For some reason. Everybody has been really I have had 3 to 5 dates on here and I had one woman drove from Florida. Just live with me for five days over the weekend and the memorial day as well. Dan problem between us is that she speak Chinese and I speak English and our app did not interpret things correctly I believe so there was a lack of communication between us, but she was a very good strong woman. I believe a very good company and very good dating site best out of all the others, thank you for doing this and helping me out over.

Why a time limit?This app has the potential to be really good, but it has several limitations that hold it back from reaching its potential. I will say that the women are much more attractive than on hinge and tinder, and unlike Tinder, there are much fewer fake accounts, although fake accounts still exist on bumble. The women that I’ve actually had the chance to meet up with, which is a low number due to the time limit, have been quality matches that I felt a connection with. However, the time limit once you match is a horrible aspect of the app. The woman has 24 hours to message you, which you can extend to 48 hours, but after that period runs out, the match disappears forever! Most women have busy lives and don’t check dating apps 24/7, meaning that your chances are slim of getting a message before the time limit is up. On tinder, for example, it can be a few days to a week before they respond. The time limit makes it so that your odds of ever messaging and potentially meeting up with your match are greatly diminished. It genuinely makes no sense. Plus, and I hate to generalize but it’s true, women do not like to make the first move. I understand that the idea behind this is to protect the woman from creeps, but can’t they simply block and report the guy if he’s a perv? Why make dating harder than it has to be? Considering what the prices are for this app, you’d think they’d make it easier. I honestly can’t justify paying this much for an app that quickly takes away your matches and doesn’t let you make the first move. Dating shouldn’t be this hard. Make it make sense..ABNYC7Version: 5.392.0
Could be better, could be worseThe user interface is adequate despite limitations inherent in profile writing because for example, only 300 characters are allowed for your personalized introduction of yourself. And like all the major apps, this one encourages you to spend money to improve your chances for meeting someone appropriate. On the other hand, it is possible to make a non-recurring payment for higher cost instead of a recurring subscription, though not at the highest level of perks. Compared to other apps, there seem to be fewer Catfishers, but the usual disparity between women receiving too much attention and men too little happens here too. As an elderly, but still quite active person, neither I nor most of the profiles I see are interested in short term relationships or brief encounters. So the only reason I might be interested in seeing profiles of people temporarily at a nearby airport, but who live hundreds of miles away - something with the app will not suppress - would be to get a sense of whether spending time in a different part of the country might improve my chances of “clicking” with someone because of regional cultural differences. I beg the developers to offer an option to suppress profiles of people temporarily within the distance limit who don’t live locally. Along these lines, making the distance limit correspond to typical travel times rather than as the crow flies map distances would also be a welcome improvement!.Soto viceVersion: 5.429.0
Reasonable ExpectationsI 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.PappuliVersion: 5.156.1
DecentI paid for the lifetime membership as a male user. It’s a decent app for dating and it has lead to some genuine connections, but it’s gone down hill and kind of become like every other dating app once they wandered from their core principle of women making the first move. Promoting the laziness of “first moves text prompts” as a way for women to make their first move is just promoting the same behavior on different apps in a new unique way. It’s now no different than every other dating app. Men can easily make their first move by sending whatever they want. Woman initial engagement is down because now that’s just too much work for most since they have this lazy option. It was much more engaging with more genuine connections for the male user when the core principle of women needing to create that unique opening.
I would not recommend you spend the money on a paid plan any more. You get the same experience whether you are a paid user or a free user. Is it worth trying for free, sure, but it’s just another dating app now where you will need to flood the market as a man with witty openers and buying in won’t change anything except a few settings, taking the power of coordinated communication away from women as men flood a woman’s inbox hoping for the best. Give the power back to the women. It made finding a real match more genuine as those women were actually interested in dating and getting to know eachother..AnonModsVersion: 5.405.0
My input that could improve bumbleI haven’t had much success on dating apps. Some dates here or there. But what I think could help guys as dating apps are skewed for women getting likes and a very small number of guys who are good looking like jimmy garrapolo or Michael b Jordan. Otherwise not much luck even for good looking guys, just not model good looking. In my life I’ve had ppl imply or got the hint of being a prett handsome guy. I have friends help, I’ve had women friends help with profile, good pictures. It’s still not that great.
Some likes but more often women I don’t find attractive or the few who match don’t even respond before window closes. What would help is having a video chat feature for guys to separate who have great personalities but may stand out more by talking at first than text. Like a speed date feature. I know You have zoom feature but that’s after matching and texting first. And most would feel weird using it after texting where meeting in person would be better.
My idea is having a sign up part for the video speed date feature so ppl on bumble can set up for it therefore ppl are getting matched or set up with ppl already agreeing or with chatting with ppl all on speed dating video chat. Filter off had this good idea but there are not popular. It’s only being used by ppl in a few metropolitan cities otherwise no users. There could be a way maybe bumble does this just a little differently so it can’t be charged by filter off for copying. All it takes is a few tweaks from my understanding to not be charged for copying..Booby mcdoobyVersion: 5.307.0
Blocked for no reasonI was on the Bumble Bizz app for a few months and having great success meeting people and networking then suddenly I was blocked without warning, no explanation, and in my opinion no reason. After reading their rules i would assume it was because they think I was trying to sell something when I was actually offering an opportunity. Umm hello almost every single profile on there is selling something. What do you think the Monat reps and the Arbonne reps and all the other mlms on there are doing? They are all selling something. I was actually offering an opportunity for someone looking for a career change or a new job and to mentor them into starting their own business. It is a networking site after all and they have the ability to list on there if you are hiring or looking for a job. If you are not allowed to talk about that then why do you have the app?? I was having really great success meeting people and actually recommending the site to numerous people but now I definitely won’t. Also I was paying for the subscription and when they blocked me and they never stopped my subscription. If I hadn’t noticed it they would be still charging me and not letting me use the site! I asked to speak with someone and they just sent me a standard letter saying no exceptions. If you have one person who doesn’t like your interaction then you get kicked off? You are a networking site. Let people network. Plus I saw more people than I can count using the business site as a dating site and didn’t say anything..Mctorres77Version: 3.26.0
Great app with a major flawI enjoy Bumble. I’ve met some interesting people, and I like the fact that I can find dates, friends, and business partners. It’s a very cool concept that no other app does. (or at least does well) With that being said, I have a very big issue with the app solely on the dating side. Tinder, hinge, and any other app I get a decent amount of swipes without having to pay. For the past two weeks I have been using bumble daily to test this issue to see if it was merely a glitch or an actual mechanic of the app. I do not pay for the app so I only have the free version. Anytime in the past two weeks I have been given no more than 15 swipes until I’m out. The reason I’m writing this review now (and rating it how I have) is because I opened the app this evening and was able to swipe right on three profiles. That’s 3. Only three profiles before it told me I was out of likes for the day. While I understand this is a profitable app and the market and demand are there, there is no reason to practically force people to pay just to enjoy the basic functions the app offers. As I said before this wasn’t the only time. I’ve had, at most, 15 right swipes and that’s being generous. Maybe this is a glitch for me, maybe it’s not, but it has made me step away from the app significantly. The design of the app, the concept, most of the functions overall work very well but this issue shows me that the app developer do not care for my time and usage unless I pay. As someone who is a casual user of the app, this is a ridiculous issue that I haven’t experienced anywhere else..Nick_photosVersion: 5.328.0
It was exciting...The idea behind Bumble sounds great, but I left it feeling pretty bad. I paid for boost because swiping through men made me feel mean. With boost I could decide on a smaller scale if I was interested in men who were already interested in me. The first day I had a lot in my queue. I matched with 5 and kept the rest for later because the idea of managing more than 5 conversations at once was a little overwhelming. None of the first set replied. I tried again I used some of Bumbles supplied intro lines this time and still no guys replied. It tried again and matched with more this time and finally get a some responses. One guy was immediately a jerk, pointing out all the possible ways he could answer the question(one of the bumble suggested) “What’s one of your favorite hidden gems in the city?” “Did you mean a bar, restaurant, place, store, landmark? I am going to assume you meant...” I expected this. Another guy was really nice and we chatted for the night and then nothing. I expected that to happen too. No spark and that’s fine. I chatted with a few other guys too and it was fine. The biggest annoyance was that so many guys would swipe right and then never respond or if they did respond take days to reply again when we were chatting. Why spend time swiping only to not respond when someone matches with you? This app is supposed to be empowering, but it turned into another way to just feel undeserving. It was really frustrating. This was my second time trying and I was so optimistic. I just deleted my account..Janna49Version: 5.151.0
I MET THE LOVE OF MY LIFE THANK UUU!Dating apps are lame. Especially this one. I can’t think of a worse app to have on my phone. I’d rather download 10 viruses than download this again. That’s why i had to find the girl of my dreams on the last go around. And oh boy did i!!! Guys! Lemme tell you. This is the greatest app i have ever used! Thanks to you guys! I met the most talented and amazing person in my entire life! She is everything a man could ever ask for and more! I am the happiest man in the whole world. I was never a believer of love at first sight until i saw her profile! I was alone swiping away at these dating apps looking like a sad lil boy. Until. There she was. Her profile appeared on my screen. I was immediately caught by her beautiful appearance and her eyes were screaming at me to swipe on her. I took the risk and looked at her profile. What i saw changed my life forever. Not only did she have absolute banging pictures of herself. But her aesthetic was screaming of personality! I didn’t even hesitate for one moment! I swiped so hard that my phone fell out my hands and hit the wall. There’s a hole in my wall but the hole in my heart was healed. Our first date was magical. It was everything i could ever dream of and more! When i first saw her in my own eyes in real life. I was so stunned and nervous that i didn’t even eat my ramen. Needless to say we hit it off on our first date and spent over 30 hours together! Long story short she is the most amazing woman i have ever met and i couldn’t have asked for a more perfect match! While bumble is the worst app i ever used. I can’t help but thank you for helping me meet this amazing specimen. 10/10..Charlierizzlord69Version: 5.355.0
People are far away from each othersI have been raped for a guy I met here, I have been mistreated, abused, harrased, insulted, and the distances in between one to another’s 20 miles and above so nobody wants to drive 45 minutes in traffic to meet you, I have been using this app for a year on and off and I have seen people that I reported being active every time I pay again my subscription, people here aren’t honest and mostly are looking for sex or rich women’s
Guys swipe right just because and when you swipe right to meet them they just say hi.
And BFF is even worst. I am waiting to finish my days that I paid I even met a person with mental disorders that doesn’t take their meds and they hurt you more than two times. I mostly have been sexually abused here from this app, and the guys that are worth it are minimum and they are people that live too far away from me.
This app damaged my integrity as a woman my heart my self stem and the worst day was when I was rapped by Anthony Zannini, and when a Colombian guy I met came to visit me and when I went to visit him back he was married his name is Jose Bejarano all that in bumble not just in USA
Bumble around the world. I don’t recommend this site to any decent woman with serious intentions of finding love.LissajacobbyVersion: 5.351.0
Hate the new “Liked You” Page!!Updated review: they fixed the “liked you” page and restored it’s functionality and will be re-subscribing. Thanks for listening to your users, bumble!
Old review: I have been a bumble premium user for the last year, off and on. My favorite feature and what I’m paying almost $20 a week for IS the “Liked You” page. It was convenient and easy for matching. I could narrow down who was active, who was new, who was closest and swipe from there. My like page boasts about 1700+ matches that I can never swipe through everyone and these categories make it easier for my priorities. However the most recent update has my “Liked You” page looking like a instagram feed and I need to scroll through all of them instead of having them in categories. I immediately cancelled my premium subscription cause it just drove me insane. How am I supposed to scroll through all these profiles like an insta feed??? I never complain about app updates and this is a first. That’s how passionate I am that yall made a mistake with these new update. Please bring the previous version of the “Liked You”. I just can’t rationalize paying to just scroll through dozens of matches, I might as well swipe like normal :/.Cocochanel98Version: 5.406.0
Not a bad experience just, pretty emptySo I have recently deleted bumble because I wasn’t getting literally anything. No interaction from any woman. No likes, no messages or responses. Now that’s not the only reason I deleted it. After the second month, I started getting only 3 swipes a day. Bumble literally couldn’t find any other women that weren’t more than 30 to 50 miles away…then when I went to discover. There was maybe 2 a day. Sometimes none. So that last month I had it. It just slowly faded to less and less swipes. Even days where there were none at all… unless I can get my settings to 50 miles plus radius… also they love to push the pay to play route, a lot, like, excessively. Which I get it it’s a business they have to make money. Although how am I going to get any further interaction if 90 percent of it is stuck behind a pay wall. Also before the decline of possible partners there was this weird thing where I wouldn’t find hardly any women even on bumble in my hometown. When I’m in my hometown. But when I drive 2 hours away. I would get an abundance of matches. Saying they were all in my hometown. When I’m not in it… I’m not too sure what practice that is but it happens on other dating apps as well. Anyway I can’t just blame bumble, I understand if women don’t find me attractive they don’t have to interact. So that’s why I’m not blaming bumble that I can’t find anyone. Also once again they are a business you know they have to eat too, and yes someone can say they are greedy and bots. All that stuff, I’m just saying I do respect the hustle. Once again it wasn’t a bad experience, just empty, and… alone..PaarthurzaxVersion: 5.461.1
Found my perfect matchI’ve been on and off using Bumble for the past almost 6 years. It was a lot of being ghosted, trial and error, and a lot of meeting new people who eventually just were not meant to be. But finally I can confidently say that I’m no longer using the app and am in a very happy relationship! I’m writing this review to say to those that are still on the app, I know it can be frustrating and can even mess with your mental health at times when you feel like you’ll never meet the right one. I was ready to just give up on the whole app altogether until my last match (my current boyfriend), and I’m so happy that I ended up deciding to give it one more shot. It took me 6 years on the app to find someone who truly gets me and loves me the way I’ve always wanted (and vice versa of course). As frustrating as it can be, take a step back from it all, take some time to yourself away from the app every now and then so you don’t feel burnt out, and try again. You never know if the right one is patiently waiting around the corner for you. If anyone has read this far, I wish the best of luck to you and I truly hope you find your person so it can all feel worth it in the end!.Emiichu12Version: 5.464.0
Needs better featuresI 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..NameemallVersion: 5.249.0
Can’t find my home townFirst 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..CobyKeimVersion: 5.217.0
Only because I’m so discerning...Bumble is probably the most dignified of all the dating apps out there these days, outside of the demographic specific ones. It’s got a clean interface, creative ideas to get people interested, and has enough users to not be bogged down by fake accounts and ennui... I take 1 star off simply because it is a dating app and I still can’t convince myself that meeting people over the internet is a great idea. But the main reason I only give it 3 stars is because of the monetization. I understand that they are a business but there is just something annoying to me about artificially increasing the difficulty of finding a proper match by limiting the number of likes you get, unless of course you pay the requisite fee for one of the many premium subscriptions. Maybe if they didn’t spend so much of their funding flooding all of my social media feeds with advertisements (which admittedly was one of the factors that convinced me to rejoin this app) they wouldn’t need to charge such exorbitant rates for premium services. Other than that though I suppose it’s perfectly fair to say that you can make a match without ever having to pay a premium fee, but I am skeptical and wouldn’t put it past the dating app industry to make it harder for you to make a match if you don’t pay the price, such as perhaps giving you a tailored feed which shows enough attraction to keep you hooked without connecting you to the right people who you could actually match with. But that’s all just paranoid speculation of someone with too much alone time, so again maybe they aren’t doing the best job!!!! All jokes aside this app is welcoming and has all the features we associate with contemporary social media so I guess I’ll give them back one star..Parkerap2014Version: 5.232.0
Waste of Time, Money, & EsteemI truly believe that Bumble is designed to take advantage of men. Despite having a good career and a well-rounded life, I’ve been using the app for over two years without getting a single match or in-person date. I tried everything — updating my photos, buying premium features, using the spotlight — but nothing worked.
It’s obvious that if the app actually helped people find real connections, they wouldn’t make as much money. I’ve been paying for premium features for years, but it’s time to let it go. This app has taken a toll on my self-esteem as I kept swiping on countless women from all backgrounds, but not a single person was willing to meet up.
I hope one day men will realize their worth and stop supporting an app that profits by exploiting their need for connection..Sifatul MostafiVersion: 5.411.0
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.Emcat09Version: 2.17.0
Wont recommend for womenTLDR 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..Ania.vinsaVersion: 5.135.0
Remove the still interested/ archive push notification featureUsed 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 😂.LilpigpigVersion: 5.140.0

Bumble Dating App: Meet & Date Negative Reviews
Location is broken, it uses GPS instead of static set location by user, which is wildly inaccurateIt keeps mixing up people's locations and recommending people who are much further away than it seems. Basically it uses their phone GPS for the distance between the other person and myself instead of the city we each live in, and it seems to be either wildly inaccurate or everyone is using a VPN because about half of them are in a different city than they live, which just can't be true. I live in Burlington, Iowa but I've gotten recommendations for people living in Arkansas and Nebraska and several that were at least in a neighboring state, 50+ miles away when the GPS said 30-ish miles away. I would upload cropped screenshots for proof, but reviews don't allow that. To make this worse, the customer service is incredibly inefficient because you can't have an open ticket to add info to repeatedly, and you can't upload more than one screenshot at a time, so I guess they prefer to be spammed with tons of support tickets because that's the only option in that situation. The responses I've gotten from support generally seem to think that my issue has to do with my location, but that's never been the issue. My GPS, Lives in, and Hometown location are all the same city, but many other users are not. That said, the other features of this app aren't so bad. I'm annoyed that the monthly subscription is expensive, and it's required just to see who likes my profile, but that's unfortunately standard at this point..Tactical_tunicVersion: 5.308.0
Not great, could be worseI’m curious if bumble has lost sight of the customer’s experience in favor of metrics. Number of connections doesn’t equal quality of connections, that’s for certain. I find the free version hard to use because no matter how many 100’s of profiles I swipe through, I still have the same number of likes in my ‘beeline’ and can never get to them. I also find it frustrating that I have my location settings set to 10 miles of me, yet I mostly get people passing through who don’t live here. Waste of time, I don’t need dating/swiping gamified in this way and it should at least be an option to only see people who’s permanent location is close. I want to see a few, high quality profiles and swipe less, which is a contradiction to keeping users on the app (yay, publicly traded companies)! The first week on this app, I had a lot of interesting profiles to look at, I’m not sure if the algorithm got ‘stuck’ when I was traveling last month, but since then I’ve swiped through 100’s of profiles and am borderline insulted by what is being shown to me - are these people even real, because they don’t look like it. I don’t find swiping that fun so I’m getting bored and will probably delete. Bumble’s algorithm definitely never learned my type?
One final small pet peeve: bouldering an interest instead of climbing?? As any climber will tell you, this makes no sense.
Would love to support a female run business, but find the pricing too expensive to find out if the app works better in paid mode..Mtn_annieVersion: 5.262.0
Never been this bad beforeIt is blindingly clear that this app only works to keep you on the app— not to actually find someone. App will literally lie to you and tell you “you’ve seen everyone nearby” but then the next day you’ll get a handful more, many of which do not have the “new here” flag that indicates it is a profile that was just created, so it’s blatantly obvious that many of those profiles had, indeed, existed before (when it had told you it ran out of profiles). The only reason they do this is to force you to check the app every day to keep you on it, but not for too long or you’ll actually find someone and leave the app. It’s the equivalent of breadcrumbing someone— it’s toxic, manipulative, and deceptive. I used to love bumble as it was my favorite dating app in the past because I felt like I could match with and meet the most compatible people and that the app genuinely tried to help me match with people who were right for me. But now, even with premium, you can’t even filter your likes by people within your set radius….. seriously what’s the point of being able to view your likes if you’re constantly only seeing people who live halfway across the country and there’s nothing you can do about it??? Support was garbage, did not hear back at all after contacting them twice and it’s been a week. Thankfully I got my premium refund from the App Store so I can delete this app for good because it’s literally trash now. So disappointing, save yourself and do not download..Rachelh44Version: 5.461.1
Terrible app, getting worse by the monthLet me start by saying I used to be on bumble for years, and it actually was great at the beginning. Prices were fair, and matches were often. However, if you look at the reviews, you’ll notice this app has been getting worse rated over the last year. This is due to many financial changes and restrictions placed on accounts. What used to be 10 bucks a month for premium, is now 300 bucks for lifetime or 30 bucks a week. Your matches are locked behind a “beeline”, which would be easier to navigate except the matches don’t exist. E.g I had 10+ matches on my old account of over a year, I did a test one day and counted out 300 left swipes, I still had 10+ matches in my beeline and didn’t lose a single one. Confused, I made a new account last month. I set my preferences to 5 miles out only. I got 6 matches waiting in the beeline. Today just did another 200 left swipes, all the way out in distance to another state completely. Still have 6 matches in queue. Ultimately while the app used to reign supreme as the best dating application, it’s recent changes have made it the utter worst. It’s the greediest of all of them, highest prices, most constricting and disappointing. Only use this one if you have money you want to throw away, otherwise Hinge, MeetMe, Baboo, OkCupid, and Tinder are all much better for meeting someone and cheaper. Really disappointing and upsetting to have witnessed the company’s greed consume their own user base in live time..Alex963452074Version: 5.322.0
Scam Don’t pay premiumTook me a second to catch on. But yeah this app is a scam, maybe at one point it was not but I can assure this app is a scam. I’ll explain.
I’m a fairly attractive guy never had any issues with the opposite sex. But I’ll get straight to the point. Initially what they do is get fake accounts to like your profile. But I’m order to match you have like theirs as well or pay, however bumble has no intentions of showing you these fake accounts. They’re there so you’re forced to pay to see them. They are not real people. They will never message you and will simply let the time expire I’ve had at least 6 of these that just let the time expire. That isn’t normal. And again they will never appear on the list. The other thing I suspect is that they will also put your profile way to the back of the list so no one ever gets to it. I believe there’s probably s small number of profiles that are at the top and the rest and hidden away and women would have to swipe thousands of times to get to you which is not going to happen. The ratio of men to women is incredibly lob sided so we have a surplus of men so no matter what there’s a big chance your profile is on the back of the list on the algorithm and no one is going to see it. I believe this is by design it’s pretty sad.
Now bumble is going to reply with their AI that they’re “sorry I had a bad experience” they’re going to pass my complaint to the bumble “team” look fellas, stay safe. This app is the biggest predator here..Eben2JZVersion: 5.316.0
Random bans and shady business practicesSo I downloaded this app a few days ago, paid a little extra for their premium services, got a couple matches, and started on a couple conversations. Suddenly I was randomly logged out of the app, and when I tried to log back in, I was told that my account was blocked. I haven’t been using the app very long, and I haven’t been doing anything to violate the terms and conditions. When I reached out to customer support to find out more information and tell them it must be some mistake, I was told that my ban would not be overturned, and as a matter of policy they can not tell me the reason why I was banned in the first place. Great. Long story short, Bumble took my money, blocked me after a few days, and their customer support basically gave me the finger and offered no explanation why the situation happened in the first place. Don’t bother with this app, and DEFINITELY don’t give them your money. They’ll block your account, keep your money, and offer no explanation or recourse.
Edit: Just read the generic response from the developer. If he had taken the time to actually read my review, he would understand that I DID reach out to BumbleSupport, and their unhelpful response was posted above. They would like you to believe that people never get randomly banned for no good reason, but a quick look through their app store reviews and the Bumble page on Reddit will show you the truth. This happens often, with no explanation, recourse, or hope of a refund..RIPJackaVersion: 5.269.0
Bumble doesn’t care what we users say but..So I have been using Bumble on and off for almost 2 years now. One thing about this company is that people have left thousands of reviews about what they like and don’t like about the app, but if you take a look at the update history for this app, all they have done is fix bugs. Nothing to do with adding changes or improving the app’s functions. This is a dating app yet we have a limit on how many people we can swipe on. Once you reach your limit, you have to wait a whole day just to be able to start swiping again. So you can swipe 5 or 10 times and not match up with anyone, but now since you ran out of swipes, you have to wait a whole day just to be able to see if you will match up with another person. I believe that the swipes should be unlimited. I also think that some of the features that you have to pay for should be free for a day or two and if you choose to want to purchase the features going forward then you can. The paid subscriptions especially for one week is extremely high. For one week it’s $32. That is about $4.60 per day. That is too much for one week! Also there are profiles on there that are inactive for a long time. There should be a requirement to keep your profile active but they won’t do that because they need to keep their reports/records stating there are this much profiles on their app to make it seem like there is a lot of users when the data is incorrect. Misleading. The company doesn’t care. As most dating sites, it’s all about the money and number of profiles on there..Lalalalala =]Version: 5.333.0
The best dating app out there but it’s still awfulI’ve tried them all folks, Hinge, Tinder, Clover, Eharmony, Match, The League, etc. This is the best and it used to be so great but now it’s not... Let’s ignore their new money grab scheme and just stick with the basics.
Pros: Women message first. Lots of quick stats you can look at if people fill them out. Good and easy UI. Lots of users in many areas due to popularity.
Cons: The app doesn’t force you to completely fill out the profile which leaves you looking at a lot of empty profiles. You can no longer use two free filters. Their customer support is non existent. If you don’t use your account for awhile they seem to autodelete it but not really because you have to use a new email. The app uses a ton of data so it appears there are several networking issues. The app crashes consistently and logs you out. Even when I have good service, I have trouble sending and receiving messages. There are a ton of couples/polys on the app especially in my area and there needs to be a separate gender filter for that. And last but not least (actually it’s the reason I updated this review): I’ve been banned from the app and they won’t tell me why and there’s no way to get unbanned from what I can tell. I have reached out to customer support but I’m not hopeful. Just for the record I’ve never done anything to violate their guidelines so I have no idea how this happened and it’s definitely made me reconsider ever participating in online dating again..IhatebadupdatesVersion: 5.252.0
Not fair for men and womenI have been using the app for 3 months and have no received a single match. I continually update my profile, put in what is standard for any bumble account. I used and used the app and got no matches. I don’t believe I am the most unattractive so I find it hard to believe anyone is actually seeing my profile. Typical user statistics say there are 70% men and 30% women on dating apps. Since I am a man I am already at a mathematical disadvantage and have expressed this concern numerous times to your support team. They in turn to my genuine feedback of being treated unfairly on their platform continue to give me “tips” to increase my matches. These tips I would change and there would be more matches. For reference, my ex who is a woman, made a profile identical to mine with literally no differences in the profiles other than they are a woman and I am a man. Within one day of using the app they received over 99+ likes. Yet when I email your support telling them I am not receiving any likes they will go around my questions and tell me to add more to my profile, instead of making their platform equal and fair for men and women. This discrepancy is disgusting as you are preying on men who receive no likes to pay into your service just to be seen as a human being. I genuinely do not understand how your support can tell me I am being shown to people but yet I receive 0 likes after 2 months of usage, meanwhile my ex received hundreds..Elojahn C.Version: 5.413.0
The worst customer service supportI created an account just a few days ago. One of my first contacts requested a photo verification. I attempted the verification process several times, I figure it wasn't working because I just shaved my beard so I added newer photos to my profile with a shaved beard. That didn’t work neither so I contacted customer support via email. They asked to keep attempting but then also I couldn’t see my account anymore and I was only prompted to retake the verification photo. I attempted this several times, I even tried to take a photo of my photo to match 100% the same hand positions and everything. That didn’t work so I emailed a few times asking for a representative to call me so that I can get help. The response was that my new account that I have just purchased for a three month package was canceled and I was accused of “inappropriate behavior” and I received an email saying that “. we've decided to permanently block your account for being in violation of our Inauthentic Profiles Policy.” No customer service agent contacted me even when I asked for it several times and I take this as an insult. Any person could see that I was the same person, I could have shared my instagram, or provide any information needed to corroborate who I am. This could have been solved with an agent but instead I was insulted. This is what happens when you have many customers and you don’t care about the few that might run into a software issue. This is the worst experience I have ever had with any application..Emilio ZoVersion: 5.381.0
Definition of insanityLiterally, the definition of insanity is doing something over and over and over again, expecting a different result. This is exactly what I do every few months when I think that maybe this time around my experience with Bumble will be different. I’ve never had any issues with any other dating app, for some reason, I don’t know what it is no matter if I remove every single preference or change the age or increase to the max or decrease to the minimum or somewhere in the middle. I literally get maybe one match every few weeks. And even when that person matches, she doesn’t start the chat. I need to take my own advice and realize that this is not for me. I’ve tried this app multiple times over the course of the last 2+ years and it’s just no good. So, beware. Just like all the other apps you have to pay to play. The only time I really ever got a match was mysteriously when my subscription ran out and suddenly I have one or two maybe three matches. And then I have to pay to view them, which is foolish because I didn’t match with anyone for the last month and all of a sudden now I match when my subscription is over? As a human with a brain, I should know better. And bumble when you come back and say, I should adjust my preferences. I’ve done that up down left right every direction you can imagine. The way you have this set up is just a moneymaker for you. 1/10 rating.ByoozooVersion: 5.464.0
Account deactivated for no reasonI had my account removed, even after paying for a membership. So they basically stole a month’s worth of membership fees for me without allowing me to use the app at all. I had the app installed on my phone for months before actually using it. As soon as I stated using it, I started getting logged out. After contacting support, I was informed that my account was deactivated due to inappropriate behavior. I am not sure if someone broke into my account and somehow used it without my knowing, but I have no recollection of behaving in any way that is inappropriate. In fact, I had not even had a chance to meet anyone in person. I was never informed exactly what I had done that was inappropriate or when it was done (again, I had not touched the account for months before it being deactivated). The whole experience has been extremely frustrating and insulting. I had heard good things about this app, but my experience revealed to me that the developers don’t really care about their users. Not do they appear to actually try to help when users have issues. I had used other dating apps and never had an issue. I have always behaved with complete respect towards everyone that I meet, virtually and in person. Whatever the standards are for behavior on this app are, I am convinced that the deactivation of my account was not justified. In any case, I was never told exactly why my account was deactivated, and I had lost $30 of monthly dues with no way of getting it back and no way of getting my account back..La CamVersion: 5.254.0
An absolute scam6’5 French/American guy, very athletic, MBA, educated, avid traveler, cultured, and a photographer to boot, so I know how to take good pictures. No gym shots, party shots, shots with other women, etc… (I have been told by strangers multiple times I look like Tom Cruise, Josh Brolin, and even Tom Brady among others. Not that looks are the only thing that matters, but those shouldn’t be responsible for my negative experience on this app).
Six months on here and I’ve had maybe a GRAND TOTAL of three matches, resulting in one date (we went out together for a month before realizing our personalities weren’t compatible).
Although I “swipe right” rather conservatively, I must have done so on at least an additional 90+ women by now. Odds are, at least one of those women would have “liked me back”, but no. Absolute crickets. It’s safe to assume that my profile is in no way shape or form visible to any potential matches due to whatever algorithm they employ.
I did try the premium subscription in order to boost my visibility, but still nothing (so much so I demanded a refund which I never do on apps).
This app is an absolute scam. They don’t care about helping you find a potential partner, but only about taking your money. After all, it is in their best interest to have you stay on here constantly paying their exorbitant prices (it used to be $20 for a monthlong subscription a couple of years ago). Do yourself a favor and stay away..EducatedVoiceOfReasonVersion: 5.462.2
Pay to date mechanicsI don’t usually leave reviews on any apps but the constant begging for money and incessant nagging to sign up for what is quite frankly a ridiculously overpriced run of the mill dating app with one unique feature pushed me to have to say something. Alerts will pop up on your phone saying someone liked you then takes you to a page to sign up for a subscription to see the alert they just sent you. The swipe feature is so finicky you’ll accidentally swipe left on someone you meant to swipe right on and then be asked to pay 5 dollars to find who you accidentally swiped by or you’ll accidentally swipe on someone you didn’t mean to which is incredibly awkward. To cap it all off these money hungry sharks have now started cramming ads in between the swipe cards. The only good thing I can say about this app is that at least as a woman I don’t get inundated with unwanted creepy messages from guys i’m not into. Unless you’re ready to lay down some serious cash or somehow have the patience to put up with being constantly nagged to pay 25 dollars a week to use what should be very basic features, i’d strongly suggest you look elsewhere. The only reason it’s still on my phone is because i’m talking to someone right now but will either move that chat off the app or if it doesn’t work out just remove it completely. Such a shame..The-Black-CatVersion: 5.444.1
Likes broken, no messages & expensive subscription.I’ll start out with the likes. You usually get around 20 likes per 24 hours I would say, but I’ve experienced multiple times where after the 24 hour wait is up, I start swiping again and after 2 or 3 swipes I’m apparently already out of likes again. I then have to wait another 24 hours. This actually JUST happened to me again right before I started leaving this review. I probably wouldn’t be typing this right now if it didn’t happen again. Also the people who’ve swiped right on me don’t show up on the feed right away. It seems you have to wait 24 hours until just one of your likes finally appear on the feed. Then after you swipe on that one you have to wait awhile for your next like to show up. If you have multiple likes then good luck getting through them all because it’s gonna be awhile. It’s not like tinder where a new like immediately shows up in the feed. Now onto the no messages. Not really bumbles fault, just bad users. I’m a guy so I wait for the girls to message first. After a match I never get a message, not even from the girls who’ve swiped on me first. What’s the point of swiping if you aren’t even gonna message. It’s like they don’t even understand the concept of the app. Now the subscription. The price is absolutely absurd. $50 a month is crazy expensive. Definitely not worth. I’ve tried this app a few times but this will be the last. I wanted to like it. Unlike Tinder, I feel like the girls are more genuine and not just looking for quick fun, but it doesn’t matter when they don’t even send a message..Brandons100Version: 5.301.0
Fake reviewsLots of fake 4-5 star reviews. Beware of the art of the scam. Both Bumble and Tinder are SCAMS especially for men.
Just like Tinder, Bumble wants to convince men they’re ugly and desperate so they give in to buying “boosts” and premium features. This is a tactic most dating websites use, but Tinder and Bumble are the worst and most scummy. No shame in their scam game. Even attractive and authentic men find themselves down and depressed after attempting to use these apps. They drive you into depression and then take your money. Don’t let it happen to you… use Facebook Dating.. at least you’ll get real matches and be able to have conversations. Tinder and Bumble will literally shadow ban you if you don’t purchase extras. After about a week you won’t even be seen by anyone and your profile will no longer be visible to anyone but you. If you purchase extras you will be shown to maybe a few people a week. Don’t let them sell you the “you’re ugly and desperate” gimmick. It’s fake. You’re a good dude and you deserve to meet someone. The male suicide rate is already ridiculously high and these apps are feeding that rate and increasing that rate.
Go on Facebook. Add women. Or use Facebook dating. I met one of my exes on Facebook dating, and one of my other exes on actual Facebook just by adding her. Don’t trust these scummy apps like Bumble and Tinder. They simply don’t work for 99.9% of men. And remember, you’re not ugly!! They just want you to think that. May God bless you...ThemajigirepandaVersion: 5.296.0
Gone Downhill Over the YearsI’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..Erik2620Version: 5.291.0
Fixing what’s not brokenI’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..PasteboardglitterVersion: 5.165.0
Avoid if true feministAs a woman, I don’t feel Bumble is feminist or empowering at all. I’ve tried a lot of apps, and this is the only one I’ve deleted in just a few weeks. 90% of matches don’t respond when I reach out with a first message, among the 10% there were fake profiles that made me feel unsafe. I’ve had decent success on other apps with matches who were potentially the type of people I would meet. I am personable and polite with good values, look good, am well educated and have a great job. I understand that the type of matches you get has a lot to do with your photos and what else you put on your profile, and I was careful in choosing whatever has given me decent matches on other apps. I got a few good potential matches on Bumble the first few days, until I paid for a one month membership, after which I regretted being on the app. I reached out to their support team about a fake profile, and got a standard reply that they are looking into it. Several potential matches were people traveling here from a different country. The last straw was when I got a like from someone who said ‘swipe right if desperate’ and another that said ‘face it, you need a man in your life’. Well, this app really made me feel like I don’t need a man in my life if this is how the men on here are. Is forcing me to message first going to solve all these issues? How disappointing that this is what is considered feminism..Junesun234Version: 5.381.0
Disappointing and dangerous.My first year with bumble went relatively ok though to be honest it connected me with some very dangerous and unstable people. I don’t know if admins are involved but maybe they should be, some guys are obviously drug dealers or have multiple fake profiles (I’ve seen one guy like at least 50 times). There’s also just a sea of boring people with the same anime/ or sport loving profile to be honest, there’s not even that many interest options but people use the same combinations of interests and phrases again and again. It just gets so repetitive after you notice. My second year is more desolate than ever, I don’t feel as safe talking to men or really anyone anymore since so often they lie on bumble. But then people don’t like me as much because I’m not as open as the fresh faced 19 year old who hasn’t been traumatized by the app yet. Also, what’s the point of having this “pro woman app” if men can give you weird compliment messages, or worse from my experiences, contact you outside the gd app? I have been harassed by racist and sexist people who I’ve politely rejected through my instagram so much, and I just saw one of the guys who did that to me rebooting his bumble account yet AGAIN despite me reporting him twice. This app will drain your soul. I found one of my closest friends on here because of this app so I gave it an extra star, you CAN find nice people though they’re few and far between. But please, don’t think bumble will give you safe and mentally sane people just because it’s a “women friendly app.” That’s a complete joke I am more hurt then ever 👍🏼.Sigh42Version: 5.375.0
Bumble purposely hides accountsI am like 99.9% sure that Bumble purposely hides accounts. I've been on and off bumble for 2 years and each time I decide to download this lame app, I only get a handful of likes and matches. Recently, I tried their premium subscription and got nothing. It came with free spotlights that are supposed to "put your profile before others" so similar to tinder's boosts (from how I interpret it). On each spotlight I launched, I didn't get a single like. Since I've downloaded the app last month, I've gotten 3 likes and two matches, and neither of the matches went anywhere especially since one was a bot account... I seriously doubt that their super swipes or compliments do anything to boost your odds at getting a match because I have not gotten a single match from them despite getting numerous matches with hinge's roses and tinder's superswipes.
I've had two likes for a while, like several weeks, and I've swiped till I reach the "adjust your filters" screen on multiple occasions (yes both left and right) and still haven't come across the profiles that have "liked" me. I believe Bumble purposely hides these accounts to keep you in the app, so that you'll eventually get fed up and spend $40 on their premium+ subscription to see your likes, which is incredibly scummy.
Don't download this app, and don't give them money. You're better off on hinge or just going out to meet people..The darker oneVersion: 5.368.0
App Bans You For No Reason It’s Not For WomenI 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..Tosh2.01Version: 5.340.0
Feel UnsafeThere’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..JCsAuntyVersion: 2.30.0
The wrong app for the wrong time periodThe big issue with bumble is the exact same issue with every dating app out there it’s the fact that they monetize the app by making you waste your time and when you run out of patience you either give up or get premium and even when you get premium it’s 98/2 that the person you are gonna match with is even going to message you first so let’s put it in perspective
Let’s say you don’t want to get premium and you have someone who liked you I can guarantee you that it will take weeks or months for you to even match with someone me and a group of friends experimented with the app and it’s the biggest issue across the board because it’s always that the person that liked you is going to be out of a reasonable range so you have to constantly adjust your range to find this mystery person and not only that we concluded that always the person who liked you will always be found at the very last options you got from swiping so it takes a very long time out of me and 12 other people the quickest it took to match with a person was 4 weeks the longest it took for a match was exactly 2 months and 14 days and guess what just for the person to never say a word
Due too a horrendous algorithm and platform features that make your life even harder paired with people’s unreasonable and unrealistic expectations and standards make this app worthless if you are either average or a noticeable trend especially if you are not the best looking you will not get matched or even noticed this app will not work for the average person and even if you buy premium it still won’t work.Danny4714Version: 5.285.0
Bumble BanSo 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..Tzou95Version: 5.233.0
Takes too long to get a mutual match and a paywallI 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..3rd customerVersion: 5.274.0
Not a place for Serious RelationshipsI met someone on here about 3 1/2 years ago and he was outside my race. I started to fall for him very deeply. It honestly to the point now that am very much in love with him but unfortunately it never blossom into a relationship. Even after 3 1/2 years of being in his life he still never committed to me. He was too into himself and only cared about himself. I asked him so many times if it’s something about me that needs to change? he said “no” but he made me feel like I wasn’t good enough for him by his actions! cause I was a black women and he was a white guy. He never committed to me but is quick to commit to other fellow white women instead. This proved to me that he definitely viewed me different due to the color of my skin! But Funny enough he doesn’t want me to vanish out of his life but yet fails to even shows me love at all! He is not racist cause he dated a black women way before he ever met me for about a year I think. Unfortunately a lot of guys on this apps share this view! This wasn’t the only white guy that shared this view on this app that I have met in between my situation. They all view us females as sex objects and they use us! This app is only good for quick hookups! THATS IT! If you want some serious this is not for you!
The creator of this app should create selected sections where people who want a serious relationship can only talk to those people, or people who want a hookup can only talk to those who want a hookup. It needs to filters on ALL these dating apps!.Tatiana N RVersion: 2.32.0
Terrible company.Update to Review: Do NOT believe this app or developer! I BEG YOU!! They replied to my post and ASSUME I violated guidelines when my profile was randomly blocked and taken down with no rationale. I am a rule follower and too of my college class so this isn’t taken lightly. I’m offended that I was accused of something that they couldn’t elaborate on. It’s great they can throw a link at you and tell you that you violated their terms but will NEVER tell you what happened or acknowledge that is could be THEIR error. There is no accountability with this app or moderator. Definitely don’t pay for their premium services. Most likely Bots. I’m appalled that the Apple App Store allows this app to even be in their catalog. It’s a shame zero stars isn’t an option for a review.
My original post/review. for which Bumble responded was this: I logged into my account one day to find out it had been suspended. When I reached out to customer service, all I could get was that they couldn’t restore my account. It was in violation. No one could give me a complete explanation as to what happened or how my account got deleted. I tried to create a new account. Was not able to do that either how disappointing considering I would’ve totally paid for a premium service. Apparently they don’t care about fact, checking, and our racist homophobes if this app had a zero star option, it would receive that..IgothiredVersion: 5.395.0
Bumble Bullies WomenAn app made for women designed by women that’s against women? You got that right! Bumble has been on the woke train for a while. Their new push to protect snowflake?:, to admonish people who ghost them or don’t return their text message. Oh my gosh , the horrors! I’m sorry, isn’t this an app that specifically only men can contact you if the women want to be contacted? Well, I guess not anymore… For about two weeks, I communicated solely with one person. I met him for a date found that he was completely abusive and he consistently told me how he couldn’t get along with anyone— he was even involved in a road rage incident on the way over to the date. I got a very disturbing vibe and I left the date. Well, then the next day when I open up my bumble app, I have a notice that I have a warning on my account. So I reached out to bumble to ask why & tell them like how I was the one that was in danger on a date, you know thinking that because they’re designed for women they would be sympathetic. But nope!! Considering I had only talked to that one person for two weeks, it’s very clear that he got mad that I didn’t want to talk to him and said that I was “bullying” him. that was the scope of bumbles explanation. What a joke ….well two things have proven me right, one I was right to leave that date & 2: bumble is done. Take your junk app and terrible ethics and bounce — can somebody please explain to me how bumble things they can insert themselves and how you conduct your life off this terrible app?BYE!!!.ComicJenVersion: 5.339.0
DO NOT DOWNLOAD, they do not care about communicationEdit: I finally received an email update, however it was to let me know my account is blocked because I went against community guidelines. Which one? No clue. I have never violated guidelines on any app so it makes no sense at all. When I asked if I could know which guideline they told me they are ‘unable to provide any further details about this block… to protect the integrity of our moderation processes.’ Since they have checked this issue on multiple occasions, they cannot discuss the matter any further. Unsure why they are not able to inform you of what community guideline was supposedly violated when you are completely unaware what it might be. Don’t waste your time with an app who could care less about the good people who use it and are using it for the reasons they made it. Absolutely disappointed and you will be too. I have been attempting resolve an issue with creating an account for almost a year now, if not longer. Each time I submit the problem to their support team the issue goes unresolved, I never receive any message updating me on the issue, and jumps straight into giving feedback on if the support I received was good or bad. Each time I submit that it was bad and explain why with no response. I have enjoyed using this app until now because of how much trouble I am having trying to make an account..HalliebuhlVersion: 5.396.0
If you’re not a conventional person… don’t do it.I admit, it’s difficult to be sure why one isn’t getting responses when they ping. However, I’m very good at dating apps, and presenting myself. After paying for more than 25 pings and swiping, right on more than 100 candidates, after three weeks, I have had exactly 0 responses. My profile is filled out as intended by the app, and I’ve even included videos. So let’s assume it’s not that. The next most likely thing is that I’m 50 years old. It’s quite possible that the primary demographic on this app is not interested in 50-year-old men. In my defense, I could easily pass for a 40-year-old based on style and fitness and lack of obvious aging signs. the more likely Candidate is that my gender is non-binary. On apps, like Feeld and HER, this is not proven to be an issue. On bumble, I’m deciding that it is most likely the primary reason why I’m not getting any responses. Again, one never knows the real reason. But I believe it’s a reasonable assumption, that if you are playing outside of conventional cys het relating conventions you’re better off spending your money somewhere else.
my final complaint is really a pet peeve. I feel like this app nickels and dimes you constantly. I pay for a premium subscription which basically gives you nothing. Without spending two dollars per paying and three dollars per comment, I highly doubt that any Mail will have a reasonable chance of being noticed by a female on this app. Talking to girlfriends, they say they’re inundated. So plan to spend a lot more than your subscription fees to actually make this app work for you..Spirit friendlyVersion: 5.356.0
Farleft Political Organization Masquerading as a “Dating App”I tried to open my Bumble app the other day (like I have done many times throughout my dating life) to see if the love of my life would be waiting. Rather than gaining access to the app, I was greeted by a message saying that I was blocked due to “inappropriate” behavior! Knowing that I am ALWAYS respectful and have NEVER been even close to anything “inappropriate”, I obviously thought that this was a mistake and contacted Bumble. After “investigating” they claimed that somehow I had been “inappropriate” (which I know to be a lie) and that my profile would remain blocked. Furthermore, when I asked them to explain what this mysterious “inappropriate” conduct was, they refused to elaborate. The fact is that they can’t, because again, I am extremely polite and respectful with all my interactions whether in real life or in Bumble. The ONLY thing I can think of is that in my bio, I simply said that I would not date democrats. This company is reported to be a woke farleft organization and my suspicion is that you will be blocked if you do not want to date democrats. I am going to file a lawsuit to force them to admit the real reason behind my ban and will contact consumer bureaus. Apparently, this is not a dating app for you unless you are a farleft radical. This “dating app” is nothing but a bigoted woke political activist organization masquerading as a dating app. Despicable..CantFindNicknameNotTaken1Version: 5.395.0
They pivoted, but it’s still the worst optionBumble originally pitched itself as the pioneering feminist dating app by only allowing women to make the first move (which they still tout, oddly). Back then, I found that as a man if I earnestly displayed my interests and personality I ended up getting matches but almost no messages. This is in contrast with CMB and especially Hinge, where presenting myself earnestly sometimes led to more matches than I could handle, and over the years found some wonderful relationships. That served as a control sample to confirm it wasn’t just that I was an unpleasant person, so I did an experiment on Bumble and changed my profile so that I talked mainly about being a trainee doctor and how much I enjoy working out. Matches and messages flooded in, often leading to multiple first date requests a week. It’s not just that Bumble is worse than Hinge and CMB for those who want to find something real (because in fairness it’s hard to beat Hinge for finding long-term relationships), though. I’ve had more substantive interactions and better dates via even Tinder, which is just embarrassing for Bumble.
Now, after what is apparently years of user feedback from women that it’s too burdensome to send the first message (despite that being something I see plenty often on Hinge and CMB), Bumble has pivoted to let anyone send the first message. A smart move, given the desire to retain a dying user base, but based on my recent experience it hasn’t done anything to change the fact that Bumble is the worst dating app around..WuggalumphVersion: 5.380.0
Girls clearly miss the point of this appNot 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..IllmaticsVersion: 5.196.0

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.

“Empowering women” that sucksI 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

RiggedI 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..ZzoraxXVersion: 5.318.0
Not really worth your timeAs 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..Kal TermaniniVersion: 5.317.0

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.

Kicked off with no explanationI 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.

Too many Scam profilesAs 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.

Total scamThis is my honest and complete experience with this app that ask for money to chat or see matches.
In the beginning, I used the app for around 10 days and kept liking every profile that came in front of me. I didn’t reject anyone because I thought that if someone had already liked me, we would eventually match. After those 10 days, I got about 5 likes, but I couldn’t see who they were without paying.
So I continued for almost a month, liking every single profile, hoping that I would match with the people who had liked me. Still nothing happened.
Then one day I got a notification saying, “Someone liked you,” and it showed that the person was online. That made me curious, so I finally decided to pay for the subscription. As soon as I paid, I liked her profile back while she was still online and we matched. I felt excited and hopeful.
I started sending messages and tried different pickup lines not just with her, but with all the profiles that showed as matched. But the shocking part was no one replied. Not even a single response from anyone.
And the strangest thing happened after that.
Before paying, I used to get notifications about likes. But after getting the subscription, the likes suddenly stopped. Completely. I kept using the app for 6 months, staying active, liking profiles, and hoping to finally connect with someone real. But nothing changed.
I ended up spending every extra penny I had on subscriptions, thinking maybe next month would be different. But after months of the same experience, I finally realized that it didn’t feel genuine to me anymore. It felt like the app was just showing likes to make me curious enough to pay.
This is my real story and my personal experience. I’m sharing this so others can be careful before spending money. Maybe some people do find real connections, but in my case, it only cost me time, hope, and money.
Please think twice before paying just to see who liked you..HumanunfilteredVersion: 5.447.0

Used to be goodYou used to be able to pick 2 filters but they recently changed it so that you have to buy premium. It’s so greedy because the app already has ads so it’s not like they’re not making money. This update makes the app basically unusable for so many people because I filter by religion so what’s the point of getting having to swipe through people that there’s no way I’d date as my faith is important to me.

A terrible TERRIBLE dating appSo I’ve been using this app for a long time. Years. So from first hand experience, I can tell you that bumble feels like it wants to squeeze as much money from you as it can from you to get you anywhere. What I mean by that is its premium membership along with its spotlight service.
I bought premium outright. Super SUPER pricey, but I’ve been trying to find a genuine relationship so I figured why not. It allows you to see whoever gave you a like, go back if you swiped left accidentally, and a free spotlight per week. The problem I found is, unless I use the spotlight feature, or I’m in a new location for the first time, this algorithm shows you initially to other users using this app, then you are tossed into the bottom of the pits forever. Literally no other time do I get any likes on my profile unless I use spotlight. It feels like they’ve hidden my profile until I use it.
Of course if someone else has premium they can go through the list of likes they received, but that won’t be a majority of folks.
So pay a ton of money for premium to have some quality of life features, and then pay an extremely ridiculous price more to have your profile viewed in the algorithm? (Or do it for 30 min per week with their premium feature.)
Honestly just stay off this app if you can. It’s unfair practices to force people to pay such high prices to maybe even get viewed leaves a poor taste in your mouth about dating in general, and makes you personally feel like garbage over time too..-=Honest=-Version: 5.368.0
ScamAs soon as pay, you don’t exist on this app 😂 This app is rigged. Don’t believe me? Try it. When you are not premium you will see so many likes and matches but once you pay, thats it 😂 i am really surprised that they have 4.1 rating. I wonder if they are all genuine reviews 🤔 As an addition to my review after getting a response from bumble, i will be sharing my experience as soon as my subscription expires. I still have the subscription for 3 months and i have a strong feeling that as soon as its gonna expire i will start getting all those notifications about who liked me etc etc. i hope i am wrong about it but i don’t think i will be. As of now, since i paid, nothing😅.
And here i am with the proof. My subscription expired yesterday. I had it for three months. No action but as soon as it expired i had a notification that someone liked me but i can’t see now because you know 😂.SOHI2652Version: 5.366.0
