Bumble

It's worthless and pointless app. Now that I found a good site http://J4Date.com with bunch of active profiles of stunning women who don't ignore me, I can't cancel my membership on Bumble, they keep charging me, just fleecing me of my money and draining my credit card. I had zero results on Bumble, no woman contacted me (trust me, I'm not ugly or creepy and my profile was filled in adequately). I guess they have put me on automatic subscription and renewal and once again I have to waste my time for figuring out how to cancel it. What a rip off and money scam!

They have taken to misleading their customers in order to rip them off and fraudulently take their money. They keep sending you notifications that someone likes you or wants to meet you, but when you check it up there are no results. It's not worth a dime. It's a money-draining hoax! I could not find anyone on Bumble who would be willing to meet or at least to talk on phone. All they do on Bumble is offer you a few matches who haven't been online for months. If you try to narrow down your search you have no matches at all. You have to struggle to cancel your subscription ( it's being renewed automatically), so it's best of all not to get involved with it.

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!

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.

If your a woman, please do not rely on this app. The site is full of men just after sex. In fact out of 100 men I only came across 2 men who actually were seriously looking for a date, long term relationship/girl friend.Some would write looking for relationship, after speaking you'd realise they were just after sex. The app seems, to be simmikar to Tinder, so attracts men who shockingly think there might be better quality of woman to sexually mislead.

Bumble what can I say I would want all of men To read the reviews and go elsewhere the site is biased and if you have a woman who is having a bad time and just say anything she wants to do anything she wants and she can report you without reason without justification and you can be blocked on the site I have used this site for awhile

Have been on bumble for a while.. just got a notification that I have to agree to Black lives matter before I can log in… I believe in all lives matter … not just black.. all nationalities.. all colours all lives
They have no other option to get into bumble… so they have lost me as a consumer.. as I am sure many other non black coloured people as the name suggests

This company will take your money without you knowing. I had $154.99 charged without my knowledge (apparently I signed up for permanent boost or something). I tried to get in contact with customer support asking for a refund and it took them 3 days to reply.

After those 3 days, I got a reply stating that what I asked about was not what I actually got. Did not address anything to do with the refund (was a generic copy paste email). I had to send another email, and they said they could not refund the payment (another generic copy paste reply)

Very disappointed with the experience and customer "support".

DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM. AVOID THIER SERVICES.

You can read the other low rated reviews on this site, which I agree 100% with. They are scumbags and scammers.

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

Bumble member for a little under a year on and off but have initiated chargeback action after access to my account was blocked due to having to agree to a socialist anti Semitic ideology. Extortion and Coercion is not freedom. Bumble is now a terrorist organization and I have issued 12 chargebacks on my credit card for each month this extortion was exercised . At no time was there anything mentioning Bumble required it's patrons to agree to their terms upon taking my money until two days ago when it decided to " audit " their members. Suddenly it was important. Well hopefully you will see an avalanche of chargebacks and your business credit will take a nice hit. I have audited you Bumble !

This website is a joke. Pics get flagged all the time. I tried to include a shirtless gym photo and they literally told me, "Well, if you're shirtless outside it's ok, but if you're shirtless inside it looks too much like underwear." Haha, sure, make's perfect sense. Well done Bumble. I often workout in my underwear at the gym. Can't believe they actually get people to pay for this nonsense.

The site isn鈥檛 worth the time. Matches all disappear at once. The site offers a free trial period to see those that have liked your profile (you can鈥檛 see them for free) then automatically charges your card a ridiculous amount to continue even if you don鈥檛 want it. When I email to complain they just pointed me to small print somewhere. They didn鈥檛 respond to all the points I raise in my email and when I emailed back to highlight this I got an email back say they had already responded but they continued to ignore the points that were clearly valid and they couldn鈥檛 use the T&C鈥檚 to hide behind. Stay away!!!!

After extremely demanding, time-taking and very stupid registation you find out that actually there are no likes, matches and letters. It seems there is no life on Bumble and most of their good-looking profiles are either fake or outdated or bait-and-switch.

Nothing happened for weeks except the occasiona android update 'like' (maybe im just an ugly mofo 馃ぅ). But when you click the link there is no 'like'. I stopped my subscription and strangely the next day I got a 'like' that I couldnt view becsuse i had closed my account and no longer had access to bumble boost. So to test my suspicions I paid for a daily subscription. There was still no 'like' so another hoax alert. So I cancelled it and suprise suprise the next day I got another 'like'!?! Make of it what you will but I know how I read that!!

One of the weaker dating sites available to the IPhone or Android devices in 2020. Unfortunately the site is still filled with girls soliciting sex for money and its hard to find any real profiles. My buddy was banned from the site because these girls would report him if he didnt send them money transfers. As a guy I would recommend using another dating app until they fix their bugs. suck it bumble!

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.

This company ripe you off. We need to stop these morally void money orientated companies. In small writing bottom left it tells you that you will be recharged. I paid for a day at 拢2.49 to see who liked me only to find people 60-80 miles away. Forgot about it until I saw 6 daily charges. Immediately cancelling the subscription I requested a refund. Auto system – acknowledge ticket -subscription see T&C's-case closed all in about a minute. No right to reply so new ticket explaining no one would intend to subscribe daily when 4 days is more than the weekly charge and 8 days more than monthly. 2nd response as 1st but No Refunds see T&C's. I got stuck for 10 days. As a guy you get very little for your money – go anywhere else. Please share.

Don't give Bumble any of your money. They will scam you and you can't get your money back!

First of all, these jerks banned me for no reason whatsoever. I read their guidelines, which are very short and concise. I never offended any user (hardly spoke to anyone), and my photos were legit and were the same ones the entire time. The other guidelines are routine like any other app or dating site. Since they won't tell me who was responsible (which is fine), they won't even tell me which guideline. If there were complaints, none were forwarded to me earlier.

Second of all, I'm pretty sure they just banned me because I was critical of their app and was very vocal about it but what I'm saying is cohesive of what others are saying. I did get a warning when I was critical about their app, but seriously, this app is BAD!!! Bumble is such a bad app that doesn't work and it's very sketchy overall. Let me go over some of the details that are apparent

The only thing I can think of is what I did is directly message users outside of the app. However, if people leave their contact info, such as their Instagram account, then that's Bumble fault. Some women didn't like me saying hi, but I told them where I found their user name. Others were nice about it. So maybe this is why I was banned? Either way, I don't see why it's a big deal to leave a social media contact on your profile. Of course, no site wants it because they would lose money.

After your swipes are depleted and no profiles are available to swipe, you can wait a few hours and a few more will show up. I doubt these people just signed up so quickly in your area during that time, especially since you won't get a match. This begs the question as to where these profiles came from all of a sudden. It's definite that a lot of profiles are either fake or old profiles from the archives to get people to stick around and pay for boosts.

You may get the odd match here and there, but overall, you will run out of profiles. If you're new, there will be a lot of profiles, but eventually, it won't take long to "run out" again. You want to try this app without giving a crap? Put in a cheesy movie, keep your eyes on the TV, and swipe right the entire time. Just do it to see what happens. Without even knowing it, you will get a lot of fakes or old profiles and you probably won't get any matches, especially if you're a man.

There were MANY times where I got a match from someone I clearly didn't swipe "right" on. I don't like to "blind" swipe. I used to do that a long time ago. So if these are legit, they're "old matches". And of course, none of them message me first anyway, so this confirms my statement here.

I actually ran into a lot of friends who said they deleted their profile a long time ago and was upset to see it on there. This happened many times This also happens on Tinder as well, and I've had friends that I've run into that weren't happy to see their profile still up. So this begs the question of Bumble keeping your profile, even if you deleted the profile from within, and the app on your phone.

Many people aren't active on this app. They deleted it but may have forgotten to delete their profile first. Bumble should "purge" these profiles or at least send them a warning about inactivity after, say, 1-2 weeks after not signing in. Then they can re-download the app and then delete the profile and then the app again. Otherwise, you're sifting through old profiles all the time.

You keep seeing the same people time after time after "x" amount of days, weeks, or whatever the case is. This is very annoying. If you swipe "left" you shouldn't see them again, UNLESS you want to. So have a feature that allows you to see previously left-swiped people from, say, over a 1-2 months ago. Otherwise, what I've had to resort to now, is blocking those people so I don't see them again, which is something that nobody should have to do, nor what I want to do. Otherwise, when these types of aps keep doing this, it just looks like a cutthroat way to ask for us to "pay for more swipes"

You could literally swipe for hours and get no matches after several days or weeks. You may get one and I guess some women will swipe right for you once your profile has time to get out there. But you can't message the woman unless they write you first, which doesn't happen too often because they have a 24 hour window. If they have no push notifications, they won't even know about the match and it will expire. Do they have the option to at least receive a text or an e-mail? Nope! Alerts aren't always feasible if they're trying to save data. Either way, not being able to say hi to someone is just bizarre, and the dumbest thing about this app. Is it because women complain about weird messages? Well this is the only app where women go first. There are many instances where I saw a match I really wanted to pursue only to have it expire. The 24 hour daily extend wasn't enough. Also, they could have swiped me a long time ago and no longer use the app. If notifications are turned off, they won't know if they get a connection and therefore won't respond. Cant they get an e-mail as well? I get the notification, but as a guy, I'm powerless to do anything.

Bumble has a clear partnership with Tinder, yet they deny this. Have you ever swiped for awhile on one of the two apps, and then went on the other, only to see some of the same profiles on both during those times? I sure did, a million times! On many occasions after I see a profile on Bumble app or Tinder, I would switch to the other, only to see the same profile shortly thereafter. It's definitely safe to say that people use both apps, but the coincidences of seeing the same person so quickly after going on the other app are far too numerous. Something is very wrong here!

Women say hello and talk for a bit and then disappear. I don't know if they're signing in anymore or ignoring my messages. They didn't block me or anything, they just don't say hello when I reach out to them and this happens too much. Perhaps these profiles are no longer active or they don't come on anymore. Again, this is the issue of not being active on this app and it's a waste of time to keep saying hi.

What is the point of showing that they have an Instagram account if you can't view it? On Tinder you can click on a photo and see the app, and chose to make contact on there if you want. It's just an excuse to sneak in more photos. Guess what though most if not all of those photos are against Bumbles TOS on their regular photos. It's a dumb feature!

The 14 day boost trial is a very annoying pop-up to see. Have it on another section of the app and if people are interested, they can use the boosts. It's so annoying to see this "advertisement" come up so many times. I don't want to see the stupid thing!

Speaking of which, the Bumble Boosts are useless. All it does is allow you to extend matches longer. But again, if they don't see that you've matched, it's useless. You might as well just keep the match in limbo until they see it. And if their profiles would get purged, that would be the end of it.

Considering your app has mostly negative reviews, (on Consumer Affairs and I-Tunes) I can see why. Can you just run a normal app without all these problems and loopholes that they're mentioning?

Worst dating app ever I was so dumb to have used it for as long as I did. Do anything else people, just don't use dating apps.

My profile was blocked there and I left to
http://Seek4Her.com
I met plenty of hot women there so now I'm glad that Bumble blocked my profile, it happened for the best. But I'm pretty sure that Bumble is a con company, since my profile was blocked right after I had paid for premium membership! There was no reason for blocking it! I wasn't rude to anyone and I didn't break any rules of their terms and conditions. Customer service replied with a boilerplate. These scoundrels are ok with the situation when you pay and get nothing. It's a rip off and fraud. I think they are just a pack of crooks, stealing money from their members' accounts. Needless to say, I am not entitled to a refund. Just stay away from them!

Ok, so I've had nothing but issues with this app from the beginning. They had to delete my account as my first attempt at signing up failed. So I signed up again. Then after you sign up there's 3-4 people interested in you but you can't see them because you haven't paid. So I bought a 6 month bumble boost subscription. Open the app and the beeline (list of matches) is empty.
Now after three months of complaining how bad their app is, they send me an email that they've finally fixed the account to match me with people based on my filters. They were trying to match me with people who I wasn't looking for??? And I couldn't see the people I wasn't looking for because of my filters. They told me to turn the filters off.

So many times I've had a notification "open bumble to see who likes you" or "someone wants to meet you". You open it and nothing is there.

3 months in, no reimbursement, no extension of my account and the only response they like to give is "here's how to improve your profile". Do not pay for this app – seriously – go elsewhere.

I should've read the reviews on the AppStore – so many other cases just like mine. I'd say I wish someone had've told me before I paid, but they did – the reviews – and I didn't read them.

I signed up for boost and right after I signed up there is a button to unlink PayPal. So, I clicked that thinking I would not be charged. Well, I got charged the more times before PayPal alerted me. Technically they charged me unauthorized due to that button. What a lucrative way to make money on people trying to find love. Customer service is a joke. If they actually would have refunded me I would consider using there app. On principle I will not be taken advantage of.

The only reason I am giving this review 2 stars is because I have had some success on the BFF side of things. The BFF side on Bumble is better than the dating side, however not by much. I have met a lot of friends through it, although there are more bad options vs. women you would actually want to be friends with. I have encountered many crazy women with lots of issues that I have had to block.

Now for the dating side. This app is pretty terrible for dating. I've used it multiple times throughout the years and it has the worst response as far as communication goes. I feel like every guy on here just swipes on every woman. A lot of them just do it for an ego boost and then don't respond to your messages. I've had several meet-ups off of the app, I would say that most guys on here just want a hookup. I encountered a lot of creepy men, men without jobs and men that just blew up your inbox. Lots of desperation on here. There's also lots of flakes. I had one instance a few years ago where a guy communicated with me through text/calls/videos for a month, but could never meet up. Same thing happened when I recently joined. I talked to a guy through video/phone for two weeks and he could never meet up. I'm skeptical that these men already have relationships and are using the app for an ego boost or to cheat on their significant other.

I would not use this app again to meet a decent guy. I think it's gone more towards the hookup side of things these days. None of the guys seemed to want a relationship. I mostly talked to men who didn't have their lives figured out, didn't have a decent/real full-time job, didn't want a relationship, had baby momma drama and couldn't hold an interesting conversation.

I also don't like how females have to reach out first. I am a female and it just made things uncomfortable.

I took out a one month subscription for 拢18.99 in December 2019. I had zero success, so I stopped using Bumble within one month. Without asking me, or telling me, they continued taking 拢18.99 each month for 4 more months. I asked to stop. They ignored. I sent a query. After a week, they wrote to say since they had not heard from me, they assumed it was resolved? But I was waiting to hear from them? I had to cancel my credit card which was very time consuming and inconvenient. I would not recommend these people to anyone. They use sharp practice, and the product is no better than many free apps. So I would recommend you AVOID!
