BumbleReviews 128

It should be a Dating APP. But it is a APP with 99 Fake Pictures.
Normal People are not Models... Bumble makes that to get more people paid.
There are so many bad reviews about Bumble. JUST NOT USE THIS SCAM.

They rip you off. I hope they go down to 0 in NASDAQ this is SCAM/FRAUD

I have been using Bumble for a while, I have had no problems until a few days ago when, while writing to a contact, all of a sudden the app kicks me out and shows me a page requiring me to verify my profile.

I contacted the support which has never replied and leaves my account open and my data, profile and pictures on the systems without my consent.

Profile verification means sending them a photo with the same posture shown on the screen. This is optional, I have never used it before and I have had no problems until now. I went to read the Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions where I found that they use face recognition technology to scan your face acquiring biometric data about you.

Biometrics is like your fingerprints, highly sensitive data that uniquely identifies you. In the wrong hands, it would be disastrous.
I got concerned as I don't see the reason why I should give away such sensitive data on a social media / dating app which does not follow the strict security measures of Government systems for handling passports for example.

Since they use this technology, I have decided not to go through the verification process as I reckon is too invasive and a step too far for the purpose. I contacted support to remove permanently my account. The support doesn't seem to exist, nor do they reply to try and explain what they do, how they do it, and solve the situation. They kick you out of the app without any reason, forcing you to go through the verification process in a sneaky way.
It's worth mentioning that even fake profiles appear as "verified".

The experience with Bumble is not good unfortunately and I suggest everyone not to use their service.
I will also proceed to make sure that Bumble permanently deletes my account and my data.

I will write the same review on Google Play and other social media platforms, hoping that potential users will desist and avoid Bumble.
Real disappointment.

Pretty ridiculous site mainly because it's location based. What do I need to try to match with women vacationing in my home state? I get matched with women as they are changing planes at Denver International Airport, spending a few days nearby or while skiing at resorts 100 miles away. Conversely I get matched with women while I'm traveling and none of them are eager to meet the guy who lives 1000 miles away. This is useless and a waste of everyone's time and energy.

I have been trying to contact them because it was not supposed to continue with payments this month and it still went through... I have been trying to contact someone for a refund, I have messaged like 6 different times and not one response! It pisses me off so bad!

I had many perfect conversations. And the delete pop up and gets in way when you slide up to go to another conversation. You don't see I it. And it deletes who you were talking to. It does not ask if you want to delete the connection. I have missed out on many opportunities due to this bad feature in bumble. I hate bumble due to this.

I got a message when I logged in a day after a religious bigot blocked me that I was "monitored" and that if there was "another occurrence" my account would be dropped. No explanation as to what I did, no phone number to call, no response when I was able to ferret out their concealed email address.Big Brother is watching.

Some 70% of men I had matched with and initiated a conversation don't ever reply! Or unmatched me soon after I started talking to them. Why are you matching then? What is wrong with you? Playing mind games or something? This app must be an ego booster for men and nothing else. I should add that I am attractive tall woman, and good at holding a decent conversation, so can't understand this.
I have now deleted Bumble and will never use again!

Pretty much everytime I get 1 or a few more likes they ALWAYS never message first resulting in the match expiring. Why do they do that? It's extremely misleading, are they not interested in me after matching? Then unmatch me don't just let it expire. The price is good compared to other sites/apps that rob you. But it would be nice if Bumble had more options similar to Tinder. If you are looking for a gamer partner why is there no option to select you only want to see gamers etc? I really only use this because of it's price and the fact that women have to message first. Since on every other site or app guys have to message first, and even if I match with someone they never reply.

My account was blocked because a member reported me. I asked for this to be reversed but was told that it was permanent as I violated their guidelines. I carefully read through the guidelines and I most certainly did not violate any one of them.

I believe the person who reported me (she actually wrote to me and said that she was goign to do so) is someone that I had not written to or responded to on Bumble but rather who was angry at me for something that happened between us in person many years prior, and long before I was on Bumble.

This is particularly aggravated by the fact that I had foolishly shelled out $249.99 for a lifetime membership only to have it cancelled with no money returned at all.

I texted someone and lo and behold they left the country after a short time. Kept in touch, but had a bad vide. I was correct, he was in a jam and needed money. Surprise. No money and haven't heard since. This guy went to a lot of trouble to set up his scam. I contacted Bumble because I thought he might be pulling this on other woman. Never heard back from them and I gave them quite a bit of info.

This is based on my own experience, men with hidden intentions, liars etc nobody serious there
Everyone's playing some game
Sad

U get likes from profiles u can't see but u never see them in the scroll feed (except the real ones)

They just want you to pay for everything, even to send a message or see who likes you for separate, too expensive, technical issues, fake profiles, no customer service, botched features, worst experience ever! I want my money back, but they already stole it. STAY AWAY save a headache!

A. You can't filter by race. Really?
B. None of your photos can have a weapon. Sounds ok at first, BUT...there are thousands of us who shoot skeet/sporting clays as a hobby or even professionally and the stupid app wont allow ANY pics that feature me participating in this sport, even with an explanation. I guess my archery pics are forbidden too? Their reply was... "you wont ever meet someone carrying a weapon so it cant be in your photos" Funny, I have a carry permit and might very well meet up with a potential match with my.35 on me. LOL. People have actually been raped or killed on blind dates through dating apps. AND...sporting clays/skeet would be an IDEAL first date for others that participate the sport. Doesnt make me a "killer"..

Signed up for their $20 a month membership only to learn that if I want to learn of the alleged eight women who have matched with me I have to pay another $20. Otherwise they're just blurred out.

Textbook deceptive advertising.

I've been happy overall with Bumble. It finds me pretty good matches and mostly works well. BUT...
(1) Bumble can't handle a phone number change. I didn't know people could call me through the app and, after getting an unexpected call from a stranger one night while I was on the app, I changed my phone number to a number I only answer if I have a pre-arranged phone date set up. But Bumble can't handle a phone number change. I can no longer access my account on a computer. The site doesn't recognize either the old or the new phone number. I contacted Bumble customer service and they said I was out of luck. The only way to fix it would be to delete my account and start over from scratch. Very frustrating.
(2) You can't set your filter to look for people who LIVE near you. The app can only recognize current location. I live near an airport. I get matched with people that are technically in my city -- for a 30 minute stopover. You have to swipe down 4-5 screens to the bottom of every single profile to see where the person actually lives. It's really time consuming. I have contacted Bumble customer service about this twice and they have failed to respond.

All these dating sites employ the same business model - how they market the sites is the only difference. Their primary objective is to make money, not help find you a partner.

So, onto Bumble. This is what you can expect, from a male perspective: -

I would say 70-80% of the profiles are fake including the "verified" ones - and that's a conservative estimate.

Many of the photos look suspiciously like pro stock images. Either that or many women have their own personal photographer.

The photos are staged, women raising a glass of wine or champagne, completing marathons, hiking photos, canoeing, standing against a wall mural with angel wings, in exotic locations.

Typically they like wine or gin, yoga, cheese, hiking, gym, running, horses, weightlifting, skiing, and various outdoor activities.

Many profiles answer to the zombie apocalypse plan is "to go down the Winchester until it all blows over". Strange how so many from all over the UK drink in a pub with the same name. No, this is not a selectable answer from a list. These are bot fake profiles.

The classic, "You must be able to make me laugh" is all over the site.
As is "looking for a partner in crime".
90% of the women have nose piercings.
Oh, and animal-ears filter pics.

Many narcissists register on Bumble just to advertise their Instagram page.
You get the posers and pouters, attention seekers, egotists, show offs, who have no intention of dating.

The usual algorithm on these sites is to lure you in at first, you will get plenty of attention, likes, and chats, maybe a couple of actual dates. Soon, the same profiles that you previously swiped left on mysteriously reappear. Then after a few weeks, the activity will slow down almost to a halt, you will be left with false likes you cannot see until you pay for membership, enticing the unaware and desperate user to fork out his cash. People have reported paying for the premium package in order to see the women who have liked their profile, only for the likes to vanish once they upgrade.

Reportedly, cancelling a subscription is extremely difficult. Also numerous reports of people getting banned for no reason after paying for a lifetime subscription.
Bumble? More like Swindle.

Overall it's a demoralising experience, as it is on all these sites. Avoid them all.

I'm genuinely confused. I'm not hideous. Im a woman with a nice face. I have 150+ likes and yet when I swipe I am getting no matches? But I can see my matches for $20? Like...what? Seriously what? I am generously swiping right too like, on BFF and dating and I just don't understand how I have gotten zero interaction with a single person. I'm following the directions to get more engagement and yet it's like, I have to struggle to maybe have an interaction with literally anyone at this point. Like not even trying to get laid or make a friend I'm genuinely still using this app to see how long it takes me to even get to the HELLO HOW ARE stage. What's going on here?

I'm not sure if this is a dating app problem or specifically a bumble problem but more often than not, I end up blocking the men I meet. I was raped on a bumble date and I have been working with police to track him down. I don't know his last name and I blocked him and reported him to bumble but not the police. I'm finally ready to talk to the police about it, so I asked bumble if they could help me and it took them weeks to respond. I eventually sent them a DM on Instagram and then they responded. They wouldn't give me the information of my rapist because of their privacy policy and I get that they don't want vigilantes but the way they worded it felt like they were more interested in protecting the privacy of my rapist instead of helping me with the police. Then they shared with me some $#*!ty blog post with advice on how to stay safe on dates which only reiterates the fear that it was my fault. I'm really disappointed on how they treated me, especially since their branding is all about supporting and protecting women
