Bumble

After a month of my Asskissing to their Customer Service team, begging for a response on their Facebook and Instagram, and even then saying they escalated any issue to their "Teams", my Facebook and Instagram was blocked AND I was told that I was not welcome to have an account with them. The entire situation, caused by one of their rude and man-hating staff members had angered me in her ignorant response to demand an answer so I might fix the issue and make it right. Instead, they decide to attempt to block me on all channels to paint me as the bad guy. I'm instead going to screenshot all the conversations on my emails with them, and on Facebook and Instagram and blast it online. It's not over.

After swiping, swiping and swiping Right I couldn't get any response. The customer service ignored me. That app ripped me off.
I can't believe that I couldn't establish any conversation with some woman.
Only I ended up being molested by gay men when I already set up the app that I was a MAN looking for a WOMAN!.
Unfortunately I had to close my app because I felt stalked.

I was pretty hopeful for this app. I liked how women needed to message first, which weeded out a lot of gross comments you'd normally get. However, it was pretty inconvenient that you only had a set time to message or your match disappears. And the same goes for them to respond. If you're caught up with work/out of town that can really damper potential conversations with people. There also isn't a huge dating pool to choose from, I kept getting the same people to match with over and over again after saying no a week before. Guys also wanted a phone number/snapchat almost after the first hello. That's pretty overwhelming if you're talking to a bunch of people at once. The most concerning though was the amount of really questionable guys on it. Guys that expected a relationship after the first date, or guys jobless and living with their parents, or guys who would flip out if you didn't respond within an hour. Bad date after bad message led me to deleting the app. If you're going to try online dating I'd suggest a bigger dating site where the majority of people are looking for something, and all are background checked!

This app is a lie and full of scammers and fake profiles they pretend to care they do not they have ripped me off for the last time most of the people here not all of them play games and lie I am tired of it get life stop scamming people I will make sure I get my money back period this app fake profiles also most of them are fake and pics are fake do not use this app

This review is extremely honest, I have been on the app for approximately six years meeting people in different cities because I had a job that required me to be places all the time. After years of giving Bumble feedback, and them adjusting the app based off of my numerous emails and feedbacks Ive come to the conclusion that Bumble is just not suited for women. There have been times where I have reported numerous men who have sexually harassed me, sent racists messages, yet, all of these men were able to create 6-7 new profiles and recently I saw one this week who was able to re-create his profile as well and match with my friends. Bumble banned me for false assumptions that someone reported me as a sugar baby, without even allowing me to defend my case. Keep in mind I own my own business and have never even approached a man as such, yet they always go in the favor of the man. This app is not suited for women, and specifically not women of color or people of color because they seem to justify their decisions of safety based off of race. I have numerous friends who are also of color who have reported the same where their accounts were attentionally blocked based off of false allegations and the person who reported against them was of a different race and Bumble justified it. I have emailed them within the last year with several examples of harassment, $#*! pictures, and people saying the N-word yet these people are still on the app. They don't care about people, or their safety

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

Bumble is a total scam. I deleted my account due to lack of matches, re-signed up got 25 matches instantly. They are definitely defrauding people and They should be delisted from the Apple store.

This is all about boosting single women's egos. There is zero chance at a real relationship. It's more freee female therapy than a dating app. Biggest mistake I've ever made

I'm not sure if bumble is struggling financially because of the current global situation but they have taken (like a few other dating apps) to misleading their customers in order to make a buck.
I have had a profile set up for a while. I have set my parameters to find a match to being within a few kms of my City. This cuts out a lot of over seas and distant match's, that imo, are generally a waste of time. Recently they added the boost' whereas if you pay a premium, you get to match with your secret admirers. Within a couple of days I had a dozen or so matches so I paid for the feature. I checked out my now uncovered list of secret admirers and was shocked to see that not one of them was in my City! They were scattered across the country and I believe a couple of them were not even in my country! I immediately contacted support (within 5 mins) asking for a refund on the basis that they had been disingenuous and had tricked me into paying for the subscription which is against consumer law in my country. They declined to refund me because I had agreed to the terms and conditions. Luckily, Apple agree to abide by consumer laws of my Country and have refunded me.
Bumble have been disingenuous and unscrupulous in their transaction with me and I would strongly recommend that people use one of the many dating apps that conduct business ethically. I gave them 1 star as I could not give them 0!

So a friend suggested me to try this app because "this app has better people, and it feels satisfying because women have to message first". Also I noticed that this app seems to be made by Badoo developer. But is it actually better? Here's what I can say:

Pros:
- Better intro from overall people that shows effort
- Different modes, not just dating
- Simple UI, not complicated and does the work

Cons:
- Forces you to use your own location and verify photo right away (okay Tinder)
- Asking women to take initiative = even less matching (for obvious reasons)
- Other modes are very unspecific, you're just thrown into pool of people who chose that mode, and you can't choose what kind of people you want to see.

In the end, for a supposedly better Badoo and trying to rival Tinder, this app just doesn't work at all. Sure there are some specific scenarios where it could work, but in general, all is wasted on forcing women to message first and turning some Badoo's free features to paid ones.

Don't rival Tinder, just be a competitor to Seeking because that's the specific scenario where this app can work

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.

I can't stand the matches it was useless and I did not even get my first date. They are not worth the effort to install

I recently downloaded bumble and at first I thought it was alright but then I noticed that they kept deleting my pictures. Here's the thing, the picture I was posting was of me, (a fit, slim woman) in a completely appropriate sized bathing suit WITH a neon fishnet suit cover/dress covering it. Now I dont even have huge breats whatsoever, if anything I'm small in all departments and the picture was candid, not trying to enhance any of my body at all but a cute picture nonetheless. So they keep deleting it. I find this to be ridiculous as I'm swiping through countless photos of women in tiny bikinis, tiny gym outfits and their breasts pushed up to their chin. Also almost EVERY man has a shirtless gym picture or bathing suit picture. So how is this fair, bumble? How is this not sexist? Because I'm attractive so the picture looks good?. I would love an answer. Otherwise I give this site the lowest rating possible and I do not reccommend using it if you're a woman who is proud of their body. Goodbye to attractive women on bumble means goodbye to MOST men. Get your policy in order or make sure its equal for both men and women of all sizes.

This is a networking site only, this isn't for any guy looking for a relationship, the power is in the women's hands and they are just collecting messages! Save your money, and your time!

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

Awful, awful company! I use Bumble BFF and on occasions, I have used their 1-day subscription which use to be £2.99. Recently I tried the 1-day subscription which they did an auto-subscription without clear messaging or any confirmation of this. Under the Consumer Contact Act, this is illegal. I am shocked I have been charged daily £1.99 and having done research after, it seems many others are scammed this way. I work in marketing and I know UX Design very well. This tactic is to confuse consumers and illegally take your money and then claim it's in their T&Cs which is not present or clear when you subscribe. And in order to fulfil their scam, they send auto-responses and never read your emails. I shared links to show where they have been illegal in auto-subscribing consumers without clear messaging. Under UK government law, it is 100% illegal to auto-subscribe. I used a third party 'Resolver' to try and get them to respond. Someone responded to say my subscription is cancelled yet no refund. And almost 2 weeks later, I see on my bank statement, they are still stealing money off me. They know most consumers will give up with auto-responses as the fact is, it will be near impossible to get a customer service response. I will be taking them to court as I have taken legal advice. It's not even about the money anymore but the scam tactics they are doing. PLEASE DO NOT USE THEM. It's such a shame, as I found their service to be great years ago but whoever has taken ownership of the UX of the app, is a complete scam maker.

Dune waste yr hard earned money been on there for 3 weeks and nothing.
I found POF BETTER and that was free

Bumble forces you to pick a cause 2 weeks after paying with no way to decline / access account. Beware!
