WORST App for LGBTQ Community
★★★★ Donovan Krager 6/26/2026
it takes over 12 hours to reset one's likes.
★★★★ Jfirst 6/26/2026
worse app says your under age when your not don't use this app you will just get banned for no reason
★★★★ S S 6/26/2026
Don't demean yourself by downloading this app. You're a far better person than you realise.
★★★★ CalyXO 6/26/2026
You sign up, verify yourself to prove you're not a bot or a fake, get banned a day into having it anyways. That's wrong. You get your account activated, but they tell you the reason is because of a "mistake" on their end, only to jump through more hoops to sign back in. that's also wrong. Then to top it all off, you'll get a few matches, but everything is locked behind a paywall. I deleted my account and I uninstalled. This is a cash grab app.
★★★★ Avik Inbarasan 6/26/2026
Pathetic to use. No proper matches. horrible app.
★★★★ Destiny Enok 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
the I'm not a robot verification process is too long. too, too long
★★★★ Bryce Clifton 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
Paid for the subscription that gives you superswipes and boosts, and youre supposed to get the refilled weekly. Its been 11 days since they were last refilled and the ai chatbot says thats fine. Its theft. This app already paywalls you to death by needing a subscription AND a boost AND super likes and they still supress getting any matches. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SCAM APP
★★★★ Mark Hudson 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
Terrible app. They have daily suggestions and they show me the total opposite of what I am looking for, in my case, it's trying to force lefty libtards on to me. Sort your algorithm and don't discriminate just because I a right leaning, you are taking the piss
★★★★ a b 6/26/2026
Returned after awhile to check if the only major dating app not owned by the match group mafia has improved at all. It is still effectively non-functional unless you are willing to pay ~$40 a month. This is basically just a data collection / advertising front.
★★★★ Ridhyatam Official 6/26/2026 v5.471.0
why is the auto pay not getting off? I don't want to invest and I want to turn off the autopay? why your bank is not allowing... i will case a file against the app owner if not closed within tomorrow
★★★★ Zach Lamere 6/26/2026
claimed I wasn't 18 when I am and blocked my account
★★★★ Rob S 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
I have been a customer for a couple of years & a paid customer for a year. I was forced to update the app last week. I couldn't get the app to load a week ago so I deleted it & reinstalled. Now it won't send a code to my phone to get it setup. I've waited 6 days for Bumble to respond on Facebook & to email. Nothing. During that time Bumble was replying to reviews here directing them to Facebook for support. Don't bother, they don't reply anyways. I'm cancelling my subscription & selling stock
★★★★ Pragna Roy 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
worst app no matches no good profile and have to pay money for every step
★★★★ varun garg 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
this app is just a money grab that's all
★★★★ Chris M 6/26/2026 v5.359.1
User BEWARE. Read the legal terms They can and DO use your photos on "other platforms". I tried to delete my pictures before deleting the account (when I realized what their terms say. hindsight 20/20) just to play it safe and THEY WONT LET YOU. Go ahead and try. After manipulating and this and that I got it to accept a non identifiable Pic of me and was able to delete info and other pics. Be FOREWARNED...They WILL use your pictures for whatever reason on other sites.Their words. Be safe, every1

★★★★ Shubham Surve 6/26/2026 v5.470.0
useless app..
★★★★ Anurag Mittal 6/26/2026 v5.468.0
my subscription is not showing up, I have emailed your support team numerous of time but no reply yet
★★★★ Victoriya 6/26/2026 v5.471.0
Having to pay to see who likes you is ridiculous... and it's gotten more money hungry to where you almost have to pay an insane amount to do anything.
★★★★ Jackson Wang 6/26/2026
I'm having trouble renewing my subscription.
★★★★ Jes 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
literally never get to swipe on here what is the point of looking at a screen you can't do anything on for days now I've never gotten one swipe. I'm saying I have not been allowed to swipe on one profile in days now. I'm only waiting at this point to see if you're ever allowed to swipe on here 😂
★★★★ vilas desai 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
even for a subscribed customer it can't get photo verification neither does the app allow to access it and is forever stuck on photo verification screen! pathetic!! we shall file a complaint in customer court!!! pathetic piece of junk! can't access my profile! can't delete my profile!! can't cancel anything!!! the worst of the worst apps!!!! should be deleted for good!!!!! IT HAS NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT! NOT A NUMBER, NEITHER MAIL OR WEB SUPPORT! THE MONEY IS GONE! #BoycottBumble
★★★★ Samra Tasawar 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
Im not receiving code at all...
★★★★ glaze 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
lot of premium stuff with very little time to swipe btw price are very high
★★★★ Tina Glover 6/26/2026
don't like the face verification
★★★★ Oscar Loera 6/26/2026 v5.471.0
Es una app que solo busca generar dinero
★★★★ chad 6/26/2026 v5.471.0
So bad now, match & can't communicate with other until they reply & it just expires. Auto change your age adding 8 years more, 37 to 45... because I logged in using fb, & not putting bunch of real life personal info on social media. Never heard of an app that auto changes your age, even with ID verification... no way to change/revert it or report the issue or customer service, auto reply Ai now is only way to talk to, only gives tips.... -5 🌟 if I could.
★★★★ David R. 6/26/2026 v5.461.0
If you call this app worthless, you're overvaluing it by billions of dollars. It's a better use of your time to hit yourself in the face as hard as you can endlessly. The operators are inherently criminals and a life sentence would be well deserved.
★★★★ Super Sian 6/26/2026
Dating apps are built on a psychological concept called variable reward schedules-the exact same mechanism that makes slot machines addictive. The Trap: If you swiped and got a match every single time, or if you never got one, you would stop playing. But by giving you a match out of nowhere every once in a while, your brain gets a hit of dopamine. The Reality: You keep swiping, hoping the next profile is the "big win," which keeps you on the app longer. ~ Word of a marketing guy
★★★★ velita vexia 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
I just created an account and purchased a 3-month subscription. A few hours later, my account was suddenly and unilaterally deleted. I had only chatted with two people and did not violate any terms or guidelines. Now, when I request a refund, it is being denied. Is this really how Bumble operates and takes people's money? I have tried contacting customer service, but I receive no real response because everything is automated by AI.
★★★★ I Concur 6/26/2026
horrible last 2 updates. cannot click out of app!
★★★★ SHADAB BANGI 6/26/2026
app stops working suddenly and lots of fake profiles
★★★★ Sahil Singh 6/26/2026 v5.472.0

★★★★ Whatzit “WhatzitTooya” Tooya 6/26/2026
Great platform for crypto and love scammers and they've zero interest in reports about them.
★★★★ Michael Nally 6/26/2026 v5.472.0
bad
★★★★ Jasminder Singh 6/26/2026
BEWARE ,Paid for the lifetime $299 but zero likes or response from any profile. literally feels like they have fake profile generators with verified using photos [which they verify]. scam is the only reasonable result.
★★★★ Rahul Tirthani 6/25/2026 v5.472.0
The app is not working
★★★★ ARPA MITRA 6/25/2026 v5.472.0
Your app opens in the shortest span of time of 40 mins..Even after updating in a latest phone .. Superb job 👏
★★★★ kevin barrett 6/25/2026 v5.471.0
no good matches for me, if I didn't pay for the month, I'd delete it
★★★★ Dax Marshel 6/25/2026
YOU CANNOT UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS AT 40 BUCKS A MONTH! DON'T DO IT!
★★★★ Vincenza 6/25/2026 v5.472.0
WORST APP EVER WASTE OF MONEY & TIME Do yourself a favor and don't download this app, they blocked my account under sexual harassment and i was able to appeal after appeal i got back my account saying "There's been a mistake" i deleted the app and after months i downloaded again and got my account blocked AGAIN but this time i can't even appeal,it's my fault for downloading this app who blocks users account without a valid reason, I'm sure it's another mistake but ofc can't even appeal my case.
★★★★ Joe Cryer 6/25/2026 v5.453.0
Bumble is completely rubbish and a total waste of time. It feels like a ghost town because half the users never even respond. It’s become a breeding ground for catfishing and identity fraud, making it incredibly misleading and dangerous for anyone seeking a real connection. The platform feels like a trap for financial scams, and the lack of security is alarming. Save yourself the headache and stay far away until they actually take user safety and profile verification seriously.
★★★★ Sanjay Sagar 6/25/2026 v5.472.0
WORST EXPERIENCE EVER! I have purchased the premium to get the good experience and thought everything would sort out, even after completing my profile 100%, I'm getting no response, the boost doesn't work either.. and what's the reason for unlimited swipes if we are not gonna get any match or swipe back.. and Stand out every day feature.. it does help either! what's the reason for spending money here if this is not working!!
★★★★ Radhika Sen 6/25/2026 v5.472.0
didn't found anybody or got any requests ever is this really real
★★★★ rks 6/25/2026

I would advise everyone not to waste your energy ram ram japo bas
★★★★ Kshitij kulkarni 6/25/2026 v5.472.0
at least make a few exceptions, don't make everything feature as a paid feature
★★★★ Nikita 6/25/2026
fake profile
★★★★ Akhil S Kumar 6/25/2026 v5.471.0
The app isn't working when connected to Wifi. Please address this issue. On mobile network, sometimes the app doesn't load, and I have to force close the app. This has happened multiple times since last week.
★★★★ Nagy Nessem 6/25/2026 v5.472.0
Customer service is non-existent when it comes to billing and purchases. Practically begging them to reply at this point.
