“Bad — You cant do ANYTHING or find ANYONE unless u pay” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Tinder not so bad after this. — Just like tinder when you get a match you need premium to see it, the difference is they’re charging 40 A MONTH for premium, and it’s marked at 50% off. What a waste” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Do something else — I bet the people are fine, but you’ll never know because of how egregious the prices of “premium” features are. Can’t even comment on things without paying… 30 messages costs $100. Just go to Hinge, which also isn’t great but at least you can message people, which seems pretty basic lol. This company is predatory, don’t.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Fraudulent — They charged me $90 for a subscription I had no intention of renewing. I wasn’t able to cancel it because they wouldn’t allow me to access subscription management on their website. I don’t think I signed up on their website to begin with, I almost always stick with subbing through Apple. And my Apple subscription page says I haven’t subbed since April. Their AI chatbot didn’t help at all and wouldn’t…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Trash app — Such a trash app that’s managed poorly. Subscriptions are a scam and they continue to charge you even when you cancel your account.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Scammers — They keep charging you from different names , SCAM!!! Do not give them your details” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Paid feature doesn’t work 🤯 — As a paying female customer I’d expect to be able to reach an actual rep to make sure the so called “ticket” is real and the so called paid feature that’s not working can may be get some attention. Yep, super handy. Your photo insights don’t work…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Horrible business practices — I had purchased a lifetime subscription after many years on bumble. A day after I decided to create a new account for fresh swipes. Bumble states you can transfer the lifetime subscription with the assistance of their support team. I had reached out to bumble support for over a MONTH, multiple times, jumping between emails and their useless chat support bot. ZERO REPLIES. I must have…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Non-existent customer service — People I had blocked continuously reappeared in my match pool. There is no way to reliably reach a human about app issues. Several weeks after my chatbot convo, I got an email that denied this could happen. I guess I had hallucinated blocking dozens of matches.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Poor Quality — The app is very clunky and buggy. Also, the rolling 24 hour limits are very irritating—it should just reset at midnight!” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Turns out I am a bot — Challenge verification is impossible to get thru. I guess I’m a robot.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“App not working — The app is great if it worked, once you match with someone from your liked section, they disappear and the app fails to create a chat. Which is the whole point of this app, to connect. they’ve been having this issue since May and haven’t fixed it yet, that’s a long time!” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“You got greedy Bumble — You used to be able to like as many people you wanted but now if you go through a certain amount of matches, you have to pay. You’re ruining your own app. Last time I was single this app was way different. Now it’s a money grab and a waste of a download. Yawnnnn thanks for nothing except an ex.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“They caved. — Stop asking me “Why don’t you message X first?” You BUILT your platform on women messaging first, but realized that it was a bad business model and now want me to message first.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Removing women making the first move was stupid — Having women make the first move was the whole reason we downloaded this app to begin with. Men have to initiate literally everything, now this is no different than any other dating app.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

“Fake Accounts and Bots on Bumble — The Bumble app contains a large number of fake accounts that behave like bots. Despite my active use and real photos, I have not received any genuine responses from real users. The platform creates a false impression of popularity, while actual connections do not happen. I urge you to investigate this and take action.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“Even if you have platinum plus not one match from 3 days — No matches since 3 days, I am not so bad looking but even after platinum + no matches . Just wasting time here” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“11 years of off and on usage. 0 dates. — I have used this app 11 years as a man. O dates, I have spoofed my profiled hundreds of times. Gotten professional photography, changed my prompts, everything. The apps are absolutely useless at connecting you with women. It gives women hundreds of matches with 0 effort at all, while you as a man are forced to heavily self optimize just to compete with that. You can match with…” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English

We have not read this app's reviews yet. Apple rations that feed to about one page per address every ten minutes and refuses datacentre addresses, so the reading is done by hand — the rating above is live, the complaints are not there yet.
