Bumble

There is a lot to like about Bumble, the app, the number of active users, the low cost. I tend to but a months subscription every 6 months to see how I get on, been doing that for years. Sometimes I drop off after the month, other times I keep it going. I've had a lot of luck recently with a great site called WeJustFit that's a bit more under the radar, so I've not been trying as many sites as usual, but signed up to Bumble today for my half yearly check and it's good to see it's still a decent choice for me.

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.

Bumble has made several changes to it's app making it for the better. I can honestly say due to the change made, I think Bumble is a great app to meet someone. They have a great selection of very good looking men to choose from whereas other apps really seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. Bumble has turned much more classy over the last couple of months when before they were quickly heading into the trashy category.
A+ for you Bumble! I would highly recommend this app to any single person wanting to no longer be single. In my opinion Bumble should hands down have the #1 dating spot in Google playstore for dating apps!

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.

I just want to say thank you to Bumble to give me my destined partner and my lifetime!i would recommend this app for sure to all the folks out there.

I should add that occasionally I do get about 1 contact every 2+ months from Bumble. My profile has professionally taken photos from a photographer & looks really good {IMO}.

Women I've talked to get 200+ responses PER DAY from Bumble. My target age range is also higher: I'm looking for educated, in-shape, women in the 53-63 age range. I myself am 60 but am in very good shape. Thus ratios are highly skewed (no women// many men). They will automatically renew you unless you put the renewal date in a calendar & make sure to cancel just before that date.

You can get customer support if you complain enough. I think support is not US-based but not sure.

I paid for a lifetime membership - BIG mistake!

The entire premise of this website is sexist. The company claims it "empowers women" but it does so at the expense of men. Women get to make the first move, but 99% of the time, the women just let the clock run out and after 24 hours, the match just disappears. Guys, this website is terrible. Women swipe right on men (and my guess is dozens of men at a time) and then they sit back and do nothing. Meanwhile, the guys have to wait until the woman initiates the conversation. This so-called "empowerment" goes against how men and women have been socialized for centuries. Joining this site was a big mistake. Do NOT upgrade to a paid membership, but even better, avoid this site like the plague.

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.

After a friend accidentally pressed a button, resulting in me buying a Spotlight feature, worth £44.99, I contacted Bumble to make them aware of the mistake. All I got back was some robotic response saying it's in the Terms and Conditions and can't be rectified. I'm now going to be in rent arrears due to this, resulting in more stress at an already stressful time. I received no empathy at all. This is how they make their money. How ironic that a company trying to promote love, lacks compassion and any kind of humanistic response. If I could give them zero stars then I would.

Scam! Paid 65$ for 1 month and got 5 matches.- now they have my profile (which I cannot take DOWN)... My image is up there... but I AM NOT THERE... they are profiting... Every time I try to take my profile down I get 10 screens of "you are not a robot right?"... then (and this is the kicker) I get a screen with "PLEASE COME AND VISIT US WHEN YOU ARE 18...SORRY YOU ARE NOT 18" I am 60 and I want to start a class action lawsuit against these clowns!

Bumble is not fair! Bumble blocked me and gave no reason for their action other than declaring "Your account has been blocked because we've received several reports about your behavior on our platform." Either my account was hacked, or Bumble made a mistake. I have always been respectful and never confrontational or offensive. Regardless, Bumble has been neither fair nor reasonable with me, so be advised that you may lose your access at any time for any reason with no explanation. Spread the word!

The app is not bad, what I can say after 2 days. But, their t&c's are not really transparent and they can kick you for no reason. The system is detecting "misbehavior" and that's it. The support is unfriendly and just giving general answers. Then they cut you off without a real answer. I regret to gave them 49.90$. Don't waste your money. My advice

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 live north of Phoenix. I don't have any more people within a 70 mile radius. I've matched with probably 20 people in over a year. Payed for endless swipes and boosts more than once. I seriously don't have any more people within the radius to swipe on. About 5 or 6 actually messaged and only two made it beyond bumble. I used to have tinder before they banned me for no reason and I think I got 50-75 matches within a couple months. Bumble is, and will always be a scam. Once my membership expires I'm deleting it and never using it again. $#*! bumble.

I started counting how many swipes I swiped, after I realized I was getting zero results. I swiped on literally every single female, for 8,000 swipes and have literally had zero responses. This seems statistically impossible at this point, because I'm good looking and well dressed. I'm starting to think their "Ai" is discriminating and illegally scamming me because I'm a young White Male. I've sent an email to Bumble, and haven't heard anything back. This is sincere truth, and I am extremely offended and hurt by this experience with Bumble.

I was banned on Bumble 07/13/2024. I tried multiple times to reach a live representative that could explain why I was banned. I received multiple times the same response stating that the ban is permanent and that I violated community guidelines. I asked what community guidelines I broke and received two automated responses.

I joined and have literally right swiped hundreds of women's photos and not a single response or activity at all. I am considered a good-looking guy and middle-aged women flirt with me all the time so I know it is not my looks that is the issue.
I believe most of these profiles of great looking women on this app are bogus and just loaded on there to entice men to sign up. What a scam and a waste of money and my time. I have had much better luck with web dating sites, but not this phone app.

They had super swipes advertised for $1.49 on special but charged me the full price of $45

Don't ever spend money with these scam artists. Still trying to get my money back but will go to the bank if I have to.

I started going out with a guy. He goes by the name Larry House. Or Houser. At first he was nice. Then he started verbally abusing me. He lied to my father about where we were going on a vacation. Turns out we didn't go to st Augustine, as he told my dad we ended up in North Carolina. The whole time he was swearing at me and threatening to leave my on the side of the road I was able to get help from a family member and got out and away from him! Stay away from this man Larry house -fl he isverbally abusive smokes 420 while driving and almost killed us,
