I feel all these profiles are fake and made by the developers just to get money from people
★★★★ DanG 5/8/2026 v5.462.0
the app is indeed full of fake or phised profiles used by persons who look for theft not dating, maybe even the owners of the app use them to scam people
★★★★ Chao Yumol 5/8/2026 v5.425.0
Donot subscribe to premium more than 1 month... they suddenly lock you out and wont refund even if you havent violated any comm standard.i wasnt talkinh to anyone i was new and just swiping.. locked out. lost 3 Months of payment. and the review team sucks. you talk to a robot with always a dead end answer
★★★★ Catherine D 5/8/2026 v5.130.0
Everything has been sorted👍
★★★★ White Rose 5/8/2026
My experience on Bumble has been disappointing overall. I’ve encountered low-effort communication, fetishizing behavior, racialized comments, and hostility the moment boundaries are expressed respectfully. As a Black woman, being treated like a novelty instead of an individual person becomes exhausting very quickly. The app needs stronger moderation and higher standards for respectful behavior.
★★★★ Lol No (jk) 5/8/2026
They have this stupid feature where someone can end a chat and it basically prevents the other person from interacting with you but it doesn't unmatch them: what's the point? Just unmatch them, clearly they don't want to talk so why even leave that thread hanging? Otherwise, it's a waste of time to be on there. Most of the profiles there are derelict and the few people there who interact with you just ghost you right after matching. I know the latter isn't the app's fault but it's what it is.
★★★★ Romeo Coffie 5/8/2026
The absolute worst experience. I couldn't even get on the app. Had to solve over 20 eye sight questions and if you fail just one you start all over. I mean who writes a 2 hour exams just to get on an app?
★★★★ Christopher Bouchard 5/8/2026 v5.462.0
my friends got me the paid membership, now the spotlight and super likes have not reloaded in 2 months. Support has not resolved it
★★★★ Anna Ellis 5/8/2026 v5.462.0
insane that I can have a 50 mile radius and run out of people. you're telling me that with only the liberal and don't want kids filters on, there's no one around??? I live in a major city, so I highly doubt that's the case.
★★★★ Mason Hollander 5/7/2026 v5.314.1
It's a disgrace that I can't give this less than 1 star. It should be zero or honestly deep into the negatives. “ Terrible" is too good a word.
★★★★ juan gabriel baez mansilla 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
👎 la aplicacion solo funciona cuando pagas, las interacciones son pocas.
★★★★ Matin Hosaini 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
too long for likes , so expensive to buy
★★★★ Rld 5/7/2026
I deleted this app offy iPhone. All you get from this website are likes. They advertise that the ladies write you first. If they were so interested in you, they wouldn't be giving likes and not writing you. Go figure that out for yourself. The app is worthless.
★★★★ Istiak Md Arif 5/7/2026 v5.407.0
rubbish
★★★★ Nicholas Alphonso 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
Not designed to help you find someone. Unless you pay, even then your profile is not shown
★★★★ Christopher 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
Your pricing is terrible. Who in their right mind would pay $60 for a month of premium.
★★★★ Christopher Cook 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
Annoying notifications keep coming that I have someone who "liked" me but then it does let me see any of them.
★★★★ DEEPAK YADAV 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
why my face id don't math i am 20 times face image click on this aap but don't math why reject
★★★★ Kris Fairchild 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
full of scammers, only women in other countries will message you. so I always say give me money. I get the ban hammer but they dont? hinge is way better, i get alot of likes and matches that are in my area. best part is not once has one of them tried to scam me or try to snap chat me. this site is a scam and they dont care bout the people. dont waste your time or money.
★★★★ deilen smith 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
won't even let me make a account cuz as soon as I put my phone number in it says that my account is blocked because I'm "under age" even though I'm 19 an I've never used this app before
★★★★ Dinesh Balaji 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
I installed this app and used more than 2 months. its charging me for everything. This app is too expancive but no match found.
★★★★ Stephen Fleming 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
Location data presented to other users provides far too specific of a location and presents a significant safety risk to users. Even with "precise location" turned off. And the app is entirely unusable without having location turned on. You are unnecessarily putting users at risk of criminal behavior.
★★★★ M M 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
very bad experience
★★★★ Harsh Goyal 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
Not a single match in last 4 months, how can this be happen, and that to with a premium account. If you have inactive profiles, atleast show profiles which are active, put a filter or something like after 4 days profile will be invisible if not using. But how will app make money if they do that.
★★★★ Adefemi Ladi 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
Registration on this app is cumbersome and deters many prospective clients from registration. Thank you
★★★★ Naomi 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
keep matching and then being told I've just missed this one when trying to message, not ideal when girl has to message first. please advise how to fix
★★★★ Ryan Giggs05 Ryan 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
On this app, there aren’t many Indian or Tamil-speaking girls...feel like wasting time
★★★★ Spartan 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
impossible to login on a new device
★★★★ jacob paterson 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
I've only just made an account and i can't match with anyone because it won't show me anyone else's profiles, just says "adjust your settings"
★★★★ Arsalan Gul 5/7/2026
I am very disappointed from photo verification process I tried so many times 😭 and everytime it's failed so so so so bad service
★★★★ Xu Xiaojun 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
not working at all
★★★★ brian danbiibu 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
I'm still stuck at creating an account, the part where I'm supposed to input my number; after I click verify then the app automatically changes my country code to Uganda, I mean what's going on here.
★★★★ Musab Khan 5/7/2026
need to fix and make it more usable
★★★★ David Wine 5/7/2026
Over priced. No one in my vicinity.
★★★★ Mickey Singh 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
some of the profiles seem fake
★★★★ Nicole Sullivan 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
Asking an insane amount of money! This app used to be reasonable and for women by women.... They got greedy. They also just show you the same men over and over and won't show you anyone else unless you pay. The 24 hour to respond is so unreasonable as if people don't have lives and get busy.
★★★★ STEAM Education 5/7/2026 v5.462.0
Never got match......
★★★★ Michael 5/7/2026
not paying to not be able to message
★★★★ Susu Rika 5/6/2026 v5.462.0
i can't upload pictures, can't verify the email
★★★★ Benjamin Bennett Jr. 5/6/2026
definitely a fake dating app
★★★★ Derek Sorensen (Heaenlyflame1889) 5/6/2026 v5.460.0
im not sure what happened to me. I made an account. had it for afree for a bit. then im suddenly banned from it. saying I violated something. I have no idea what happened.
★★★★ Katie Gonzalez-Bell 5/6/2026 v5.465.0
Cannot report tech glitches. Have previously used this app successfully and had a 3 year relationship. have used it intermittently. I am familiar with it. Suddenly lots of tech glitches, i know the app well enough to know there is a problem. AI bot kept telling me to reinstall and had no memory, so couldn't remember what Id reported, after 2 hours sent me 'to a person' and the email from person sent me back to a bot. What a frustrating experience. This app is decent unless there is a problem...
★★★★ Ellesse-Mae Usher 5/6/2026
keeps bugging out and showing me the EXACT same people no matter what I change what I clear or if i uninstall and reinstall, also tried reaching out for help and im getting ignored even tho ive sent video proof of how annoying and unusable it is, horrible app
★★★★ Internations Athens 5/6/2026
Total scam. They cancel your account anytime without justification and they never give a refund because it is in the terms and conditions. Never pay for this and move with your contacts outside the app the soonest because you might loose them all.
★★★★ Alek White 5/6/2026 v5.462.0
filled with bots and predatory scam
★★★★ Owen Torrence 5/6/2026 v5.462.0
nothing but bots
★★★★ Francis O'Donovan 5/6/2026 v5.462.0
Bad dating app.
★★★★ Harira Normal 5/6/2026 v5.462.0
Terrible really. they try to ask you for a payment for every basic thing. at least they could give say 5 chances and then ask for it. Instead, to even see who liked you you have to pay.
★★★★ Chuck Wood 5/6/2026 v5.462.0
I am confident most of the people on here are either bots or inactive.
