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!
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.
Hi Amy!
Thank you for your message.
First of all, we're sorry if our photo moderation process upset you - it was not our intention! We allow pictures of users in swimwear as long as they are in an appropriate context: our aim is to make encounters on Bumble as similar to real life as possible. This has absolutely nothing to do with how good the picture or your body looks - we welcome anyone regardless of their physical appearance! - but rather with making your experience as close to real life as possible.
These Guidelines apply to both men and women. However, please understand that we've just introduced photo moderation, so our photo moderators are checking all new photos uploaded and photos on new accounts, and also making their way through all of the photos already on Bumble, which is a huge job! They are making their way through the backlog, but there may be photos which don't fit the new moderation rules that they haven't got to yet. We have the Block & Report function so users can report someone if they feel that photo, or anything else for that matter, is inappropriate and shouldn't be on Bumble.
Finally, if you believe this was a mistake, you can send us the email address linked to your profile on a private message and we'll look into this for you.
I hope this helps!
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.
Answer: I would recommend to avoid Bumble! It's run by a pack of crooks who make money on quilting gullible people into paid subscriptions. They let in as many fakes and scammers as possible because this is how they make huge profit. They don't care about the integrity and legitimacy of their site. There are better options: http://J4Love.net was helpful to me. I met my girlfriend there. They mostly have genuine women.
Answer: You can do whatever you want but I think it's inappropriate as far as a review of this company. The company has no control over the people who are using it to date and just because you had a bad experience doesn't mean that anybody really is interested in it. You're most likely an adult and you need to handle your issues on your own. However, if the person you dated poses a danger to you or others than obviously you want to go to the police and report this to Bumble. However, other than issues with the company specifically I don't think that sitejabber is a place to air your dirty laundry. There are sites dedicated to romance scams which you can paste your experience to.
Answer: They are a real company. You can read about them on Wikipedia. Their practices would be considered by most, a scam

Hi Chelsea!
Thank you for your message.
We're very sorry you've had this experience with us. However, the feedbak of our users is very important for us and we will definitely use it to improve our app. Our Hive is continuously growing and we are sure it is just a matter of time until you can see more new faces. Also, if you believe there isn't enough people in yous, we would recommend to slightly widen your search criteria. It really helps!
Please rest assured that we do all we can to ensure that all users on our app are genuine. For example, we have implemented verification by photo and hace a team of moderators working 24/7 checking all the reports we receive. That being said, Bumble is open to everyone, and we do not want to discriminate users based on their gender, religion or class.
We are sad to see you going, but we can assure you that we hear your feedback and that we will do our best to make Bumble better.
