Reviews for Bumble Dating App: Meet & Date

Terrible app. No matches at all. Even as a 6,3 athletic person, I'd expect at least a few matches, but it's clearly pay for play only: if that. I doubt paying for a boost would even do anything based on how poorly my base experience was. update: tried premium for a few months and it really is still terrible. few matches, most aren't real or anything close to what i want. those that are just ghost. waste of money.

I had the app maybe 2 weeks. I spent most of that time building my profile. I swipe through a few profiles, as intended by the app, send literally just 1 compliment to someone. Haven't been very active. I get prompted to verify my phone number. Which I then proceed to do. Immediately afterwards I get blocked. I reached out to support hoping to get it fixed. Support tells me they're not reversing the decision and my profile will be deleted. This app is trash. Thanks for nothing Bumble.

Had the app for a bit and got bored. No big deal. For whatever reason I decided to subscribe to boost just to see if it works. Wasn't impressed with the results. So I go to try and unsubscribe, but there isn't an option to unsub in the app, on the web, the email invoice gives steps that arent helpful either. This app is a scam to trap you in a subscription with no way to back out.

Scam! Very disappointed. I started this app with a basic membership. I had acquired a number of LIKES and since then the cost to join had dropped, so I paid for a month of Premium Gold. My LIKES then vanished, and now I am not getting any at all. Also, I have to pay even more for advanced filters. One other thing is that there is no way to go back to the profiles that I liked in the past. Also, there doesn't seem to be an indication as to when a profile was last active. Total waste of my time.

would have to agree like many others that the distance on this app does not work. I get people that live in a diff state (not even bordering mine) as a possible match. Also, I paid for a subscription and no where in the app, does it explain how to cancel it. Do not purchase! Unless you know in the beginning how to cancel. Make screen shot of instructions! I'm going to have to do some research. Go back to good old fashioned Tinder. there are plenty people looking for long term or just for fun

I wanted to use bumble to match with women as friends, but even though I was getting matches I wasn't able to see them without paying for premium. So I tried to do premium but it kept telling me that I didnt have any payment options linked, even though I had three cards connected. I emailed their "help" service but of course it had nothing to offer. I guess I just will never know who I may have become friends with from this app 🙄

not worth it Wastes your time forcing you to set up a profile, add pictures, and selfie verify before you even know if the app's available settings fit your needs. Once you get to selfie verification you're stuck there, can't move forward or back, until you comply, can't even delete your account without it. I even tried their support to kill the account; they just kept re-asking for the same information I provided to start the support case using the same exact copy/pasted response every time.

It's gotten too expensive, and the perks aren't worth it. I should be able to be more specific about the time of matches I want to connect without two different paywall subscriptions. Nevermind that the app doesn't tell you that even buying a subscription doesn't mean you get all the options for matching, only the basics. Why should I use an app that doesn't even let me narrow down my preferences with paying extra?

Way less matches than any other app because there's nothing you can do as a guy unless you pay money. Subscription is also insanely expensive. all you can do is swipe, since any kind of messaging costs money. you can tell, since bumble is the second most profitable dating app, it's working so they won't change anything. if I were to spend money, it definitely won't be on bumble.

Agonizingly slow. Thirty full seconds to load anything. This just started recently. Better than the others, but still lame. Bumble ignores preferences, showing my profile to people wayyyyyy outside of the age or distance limits I set. Why ask my preferences if you're not following them? Then they say men can message first but sometimes they can't? The only thing they do right is allow you to see everyone who likes you without having to delete someone to see the next person.

Seriously, get nothing but people in "Travel Mode" that live in different states or countries. For anyone paying for the app, there should be an option to block users in travel mode. Freaking annoying. And what are the odds that I go an entire month without matches, then the day my paid subscription expires, there's matches? But, I can't see them now cuz my subscription expired 5 minutes ago. This app and its algorithms are a scam.

For an app that used to be entirely free years ago and now charges about $9 a week. but even then you sre limited, and restricted. which infuriates me, because as I said used to be free. So why not just a flat rate, and allow all features? that would be the right way. not the greedy way. if I am paying anything might as well allow all featured already. for an app, that's still somewhat worth using. one star!

Years afterwards, I decided to try this app again. Sadly, it's the same results as before: the basic search will not allow you to filter out the relationships you want. While matches are better, most of the people are not serious, so you tend to ran out. I tried their premium services, but nothing much came out of it. Also, I get matched more with people in travel mode than I do locals. No dates out of this app, sadly.

Too much is hidden behind unspoken paywalls. If they would tell you up front that you only have three compliments per day or you're only allowed to like one person out of the "for you" page, that knowledge would help you be more selective about who you're liking rather than just trying to keep your options open. The layout of the app itself is fine and straightforward, which I appreciate. I like the ability to leave Compliments which allows you to essentially message the person first.

It's ok. never ending swiping and hoping for a match. It used to show fuzzy pictures of your likes and it would indicate if any were close by. IF there were people close by I'd pay the special offer price to review them and see if I just missed someone interesting. I've made a few connections that way. They didn't pan out but still. It seems they got away from that practice.

Trying but still work to do. Take a note from Hinge, phone # blocking, allow backtrack and compliments (free) at least a couple week/month, allow age and race filters. It shouldn't be this hard to find someone that likes you. Endlessly swipe, and still never come across them. Should be first in que if this app is really about making connections. Discovery has potential. Needs to take into account past matches, likes, etc (filter would help). Get suggestions for women that aren't even close 😒

I'm not the most attractive guy, I get it. However, I have had this app for close to 6 months at this point and have gotten less than 5 matches, I believe I'm exactly at 4. Of those 4, one was even remotely close to me (approx. 30 miles from me). Every other match was >90 miles away, even with mileage filter being set for under 35. Something needs to change.

The algorithm is literally designed to show you to a few people when you begin your profile, then disregard you until you pay for the subscription. After which, if you dont pay for the micro-transactions, it shows you to less and less people over time. Other apps utilize similar algorithms but only Bumble is as blatantly obvious in its use. You're much better off using Hinge, which is actually usable on a free account.

No matching algorithm: it makes me swipe through hundreds of profiles similar to ones I've already rejected. The limitation on writing is frustrating—it's hard to say much in the allowed space, so few people manage much useful information. The 24-hour time limit means that i risk missing a match whenever I go adventuring for the weekend. I've lost many promising matches this way. They probably would have ended in tears anyway, but still...

The UI is decent and there don't seem to be many bots but there are definitely some weird occurrences. Most recent of which is overnight I got two notifications, one saying I had a new like and one saying I had a new match, oddly enough they were from the same person, who's profile I had not seen before so I was just automatically matched with someone because they liked my profile? Seems like an odd thing to happen if you ask me, makes me wonder how many other weird things they do
