You get a one chance...
November 21, 2022

You get 1 chance to review profiles and there is no way that you can go back and see them again. Or if you have liked someone. No way to see their profile again. It's like a one-shot wonder. I feel I have wasted my money...
Would I suggest this site to anyone. No. Maybe if they change some of their practices I might.

FRAUD ALERT!
November 6, 2022

Bumble charged FRAUDULENT account charge. They charged my account after a year of innactivity so I could not delete the app from my subscriptions. THIS IS CALL MALICIOUS SOFTWAR. They; capture you for another year. That means you are unable to delete the app after a year. FRAUD!

COMPLETE waste of time and money..
October 26, 2022

MY Bumble account was active for a few months. Even had a couple dates. BUT, that was after wasting a ton of time and $ on fake profiles. The way they work is the more attractive the Lady the more likely its a fake account. Then they Blocked my account after I responded to a female who made rude comments to me about my age, race, and hair color lol. Yes, they blocked me for responding in a semi negative way, " no foul language btw" to her insults. She is still on there, of course... Sexist, Racist to support her like that, you tell me?

October 7, 2022

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.

Don't make anybody mad on here because they will report you out of spite and bumble will ban your account without review, despite saying they review it. And don't make purchases because they can ban you right after and it is non refundable. I had to order a chargeback from my bank and I suggest you do the same

Bumble is a Scam. Straight Up!
September 18, 2022

Bumble is fake. Prior to paying for a 6 month subscription, they "claimed" that I had 10 "likes" waiting for me. After my subscription payment was processed, those "likes" disappeared. For 6 months I received only four "likes." Then, to prove it's a scam, the day after my subscription ended, Bumble tells me that I have 9 new "likes" and that I would need to purchase another 6 month subscription to view their profiles. I actually tried to cancel the subscription within 30 days of my first day with Bumble, but they refused to provide me with a refund. Bumble is a joke. Please don't waste your money. Trust me.

Bumble is a total scam
September 9, 2022

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 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 set up a free account with Bumble in Nov 2021. I can't remember why I gave my credit card details but i did. It definitely wasn't for a monthly subscription though. I stopped using Bumble after a few weeks and didn't realise, until months later, that Bumble had been debiting my credit card $44 per month, for 9 months! I don't know what I've been paying for but Bumble refused to refund my money, citing their "No refund policy".
They could see that my account had not been used since December but they don't care. Also, they make it impossible to cancel your account. I used Bumble via the app and there is no way to cancel through the app. DO NOT give Bumble your credit card details because they'll charge you for nothing. Very unscrupulous business!

Honest truth
August 8, 2022

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

In reality it's not worth a dime
July 20, 2022

They have taken to misleading their customers. 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, there are better sites. I could not find anyone willing to meet on Bumble. 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 is worthless - horrible app
July 7, 2022

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.

Slightly better maybe but still waste of time
June 30, 2022
Updated review

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.

Maybe good for women, terrible for guys
December 23, 2021
Previous review

Usual process of when a guy signs up, you'll get one tailor-made contact from an incredible woman. This is fake. She'll be gorgeous, have exactly your same interests, and will seem friendly and interested in you. After a few exchanges, her profile will disappear and you'll get no more contacts from her.

I think all the online dating services do this to lure in guys. After this, there'll be no more contacts from eligible women.

Huge scam
June 28, 2022

I use bumble bff and I get a lot of matches.
BUT I will wake up to a number of matches expired even though I never got the chance to msg them in the first place!
So they will pretty much say matches expired without even giving you the chance to msg them!
I check the app every few hours and matches are supposed to last 24hrs so it's definitely a scam

Waste of time and RIP OFF!
June 11, 2022

Be wary of this sketchy, scam site.

1. They'll hide the cancellation option and continue to auto bill you each month

2. There's men dressed up as women on the women's side

3. There's prostitutes and prostitution on the app

4. Customer service is impossible to contact or unhelpful for the rare time they do reply

5. Fake profiles of models

I could go on but you get the idea. Use at your own risk!

Save your money
June 6, 2022

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

You might have luck here provided you stand 6 foot 8, drive a Lamborghini, own a 6 bedroom mansion & a yacht. I recommend you enter your credit card information right away & get what you pay for. A bunch of royalty looking for millionaires is all you will find here.

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.
