Thieves
March 23, 2019

I used it for several hours and enjoyed it. Then I paid for bumble boost... only $9.99. After 30/40 minutes they said unit I verify my photo my profile is blocked. 10 attempts at verification and several emails saying I'll leave if you refund my money as I truly didn't use much of the 168 hours I paid for... stay away from this crack head business

I should have read this first. Stole my money!
August 14, 2023

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.

Horrible
July 6, 2020

What a horrible experience. I do not recommend. The worst part was when they would not allow me to access my account, which I paid for in full, unless I agreed w/ their "values" supporting BLM. However you as an individual feel, you should never be forced to agree with a companies political views to gain access to a service that you paid for in full. I have cancelled... will never use or recommend again.

When overseas
January 21, 2024

Guys like myself if you are in Japan you need to verify your age. Fair enough it asks you for proof ( drivers licence, Passport) which I have done but it will tell you like me can't verify after a few attempts it will lock you out saying you are under age contact support.
Good luck this is where the fun begins 1st response after 3rd day submitted what they asked for still waiting for an answer have been written every day still no answer.
So if you are overseas especially Japan which wants proof that you are over 18 STAY AWAY FROM THIS APP AS IT IS USELESS.

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"..

Don't give them a cent! They gonna ban you anyway. They'll find or invent whatever reason or they won't respond to your email at all. They are nothing but thieves stealing from their paying members. There is so much bullsh*t and rip off in online dating world. The point is you need to take it from online to offline as soon as possible and the site I mentioned helps in doing this. Bumble is worthless! I wonder if they have at least one real female profile – they all look terribly fake. You get to correspond with bots for a few days and then Bumble just bans you without any explanation. Horrible app.

Don't be the subject of their whims. Use AdultsFun.club or other big legit services - there are plenty of other dating sites which value their customers.
But Bumble is a horrible site blocking people's profiles for no reason! They especially like doing it after you've just paid for membership. They give you no explanation. Bumble does not give a f*#k about its customers.
It's very frustrating when you lose all your contacts one day or when someone you're getting close with suddenly disappears. It's problematic to exchange contact information on Bumble because they monitor and modify messages.

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.

This app had potential to be good but now its just horrible! Avoid this app like the plague! The men on this app only wants sex from you, dont want relationships, will not message you back if you swiped right way under the 24 hour deadline. Some men have a lot of open realationships with their girlfriends/wives too! Its turning into the next tinder which it already is! Horrible app and a waste of time.
