I'm sure plenty of legitimate bans are placed each day on creeps and solicitors, but I'm a normal guy who just randomly had his account deleted without warning or reason. Customer support has also ignored me completely.

All the men on these site don't talk and if they do the only offers you're going to get are to come over their house and have sex. Really low caliber men on this site…absolutely horrible. The free sites hold up their reputation I've tried it a few times each time I feel awful depressed negative energy. Not worth going in there even it being free.

NOT RECOMMEND
March 20, 2023

I canceled my account and they still take payment out with NO refunds. I got premium and no views. Just a scam.

There are only bots on this website. The few real women on here are fat and ugly...and still have to NERVE to unmatch with you even if you are the kinda guy with a full time job, a house and multiple cars. A bunch of mouth breathing losers and bots here. AVOID.

Very Dangerous
February 19, 2023

Bumble only allows you to use the app if you give your location. So if you don't feel safe meeting a stranger right around the corner you can't use the service. That's not safe. Nobody wants to date the neighbor.

Fraudulent service
January 25, 2023

REAL TIME EXPERIMENT AS WELL: made a new account after posting this review. Got 8 likes within about 10 minutes of creating. Swiped no on 100 people without seeing one "you missed a like" message then I used up all of my likes on people who hadn't liked me. Directly after using up all my likes they showed me a potential like and I could tell because their first picture was them with a very bright red/yellow sky behind them and in my "likes" tab you could tell it was them through the blurred picture because of their head position and the bright sky background

It's a fraudulent and scam service…

They don't show you like it's matches (don't say it's a preference or distance thing) I changed everything and never saw my likes

All of the profiles are bots and just say hi but nothing after that

I really understood their FRAUDULENT services when I deleted my account and a few days later they sent me an email about a pile I got, she just so happens to be absolutely gorgeous… things is I deleted my account so how am I getting likes

It's a scam tactic coded into the algorithm to try to trick people into redownloading and making purchases

If you make a purchase you get more likes and matches because of the algorithm not because you are doing anything different, your account is just getting flagged as paying money so then they start showing you other things to manipulate you into making another purchase while never finding dates

Lots of issues
January 22, 2023

Lots of frustrating issues.

If you snooze this should pause your subscription too obviously.

Premium can see all matches so the other swiping side should be for new people.

Need a setting whereby if you are up for something casual, then in new city you shown people where you would normally not fit their distance filters. However if you aren't looking for something casual, then in new cities you should only be shown to those whose distance filter youd normally match. Too many "how far r away r u"!

Should be clear on the app when weekly benefits have renewed.

Finally its very easy to get banned by the tinder/match group because of baseless malicious reporting. Need a better appeals process. My friend got blocked by the group by someone on the app shed been seeing. Tinder very very unhelpful.

It feels like a scam, a gimmick, a trick somewhat.
It showed my friend 4 matches, but when he actually paid for the premium, the matches reduced to 1.
They are just making money off men. We emailed their support, and they didn't even reply.

Do yourself a favor and don't install bumble if you like your money or if you have any self-respect.

Also, the reviews seemed way too positive, I think they are paying for fake reviews. I can understand women rating the app higher, but for men, it's not very useful and I am surprised how high the review is.

The company makes millions but won't spend enough to staff their customer service. I paid for a lifetime premium membership and they banned my profile for reasons that were not correct but they didn't care to find out because I had already paid the maximum they weren't going to get any more money from me so why bother to answer my request to text or email with a real person instead of a bot who just kept repeating the same answer which was totally false about me. Very sad indeed. Yet, my male friends have told me they get tons of fake foreign young women texting them - really? They aren't banned. I'm a professional woman and I got banned - my friends couldn't believe it.

Horrible, manipulative, liars. Bumble pre covid were a great choice and addition to dating apps. But ever since covid and the whole george floyed thing happened, it changed. They became political and even if youre not into politics or about sexual orientation and LGBTQ then youre immediately banned from the platform without notice. I even gave them a 5 star on the app store but changed it, Heck i even saw that all the reviews ARE FAKE! All the 5 star reviews on the app store and google store have been switched from 1 star to 5 star, they literally pay the apps stores to change the ratings of the negative reviews to positive (while unediting the reviews themselves) just to keep it high up there, and making sure they stay as ''editors choice''. They are a fraud of a company! And dont you even dare spend money on the app. Im just a normie, who doesnt care about politics and used to go out there to search for a pretty girl to date, and be respectful to everyone! Trying to contact bumble is useless, they will tell you to use social media like twitter, IG, FB and going to their messages But no one replies! Till this day it bothers me how this company is still in business while lying and manipulating the stock market and system, and it bothers me even more that i got banned and i dont even understand what i did wrong and how can i fix it? If youre a liberal and LGBTQ only dating app at least advertise yourself as such. Make sure to grab some popcorn and see all the negative/ ''positive'' (that were originally negative) and see how many people have lost opportunities and money because of this app. Someone should sue Bumble and call them out.

A total rip off
December 10, 2022

It a money making scam, selling overpriced subscriptions, overpriced super likes and compliments. Which I got burnt for twice by deluded female woke-tards full of white racism and gender ideology.
FFS the site even has a "non-binary" third gender selection, like what is that! A "hermaphrodite"? Cause what you are born with downstairs is what you are, hence blue or pink, if you think you can choose, you need to see a shrink,(in a lunatic asylum).
I don't have any screenshots this time, I hastily deleted my profile cause I copped a gut full of mis·andry, all because I prefer women who have meat on their bones and love handles to hug.

Like I said about POF, gents if you are shy, lonely introverted like me, 1st step is admit it to yourself and then see a shrink and get social lessons even social groups. I might see there

You get a one chance...
November 21, 2022

You get 1 chance to review profiles and there is no way that you can go back and see them again. Or if you have liked someone. No way to see their profile again. It's like a one-shot wonder. I feel I have wasted my money...
Would I suggest this site to anyone. No. Maybe if they change some of their practices I might.

FRAUD ALERT!
November 6, 2022

Bumble charged FRAUDULENT account charge. They charged my account after a year of innactivity so I could not delete the app from my subscriptions. THIS IS CALL MALICIOUS SOFTWAR. They; capture you for another year. That means you are unable to delete the app after a year. FRAUD!

MY Bumble account was active for a few months. Even had a couple dates. BUT, that was after wasting a ton of time and $ on fake profiles. The way they work is the more attractive the Lady the more likely its a fake account. Then they Blocked my account after I responded to a female who made rude comments to me about my age, race, and hair color lol. Yes, they blocked me for responding in a semi negative way, " no foul language btw" to her insults. She is still on there, of course... Sexist, Racist to support her like that, you tell me?

I suspect the whole site is a scam, I rate a solid 9 and get no matchs etc, Its all just to get your card, you can tell some AI writes "perfect " profiles to keep you on there, I am amazed they get away with it.

Don't make anybody mad on here because they will report you out of spite and bumble will ban your account without review, despite saying they review it. And don't make purchases because they can ban you right after and it is non refundable. I had to order a chargeback from my bank and I suggest you do the same

Bumble has changed the way people date, find friends, and the perception of meeting online, for the better. Women make the first move. On iPhone + Android.
