Coffee Meets Bagel Dating App for Negative User Reviews

A points based dating app?????If you’re considering using this EA dating app lemme break what that title means. Every day you get suggested matches, you get one. You get ONE free swipe per DAY. All other right swipes/likes? These require the user to spend the in-app currency called “beans”. Liking someone costs the user 300 beans, and trying to get beans naturally is nearly impossible. Meaning if you intend to use this app legitimately, you will need to spend real money to purchase “beans”. The most you can buy is 3000 for $35. Running the math, that’s $35 out of your pocket for a rough estimate of TEN LIKES. TEN. 10. ONE-ZERO. This is a scam and it’s not worth your time, let alone your money..Version: 5.21.1

Fraudulent AppThey create fake profiles to keep you in the app. I paused my account, but next day got a like (fake), so I went back into the app. This time in the Discover section (putting filters) the profiles seemed higher quality. When I tried to like one of these profiles, it said I had to unpause my account first - after clicking ok, my account unpaused, it appeared to try to like the profile but came up with “Action Failed: ... Please check you internet connection and try again”, even though my internet was fine. After restarting the app, that profile couldn’t be found again. I got suspicious, so I repeated the process of pausing my account and going to discover, put filters, and the profile came back, and repeated the same process, tried to like, same popup of “Action Failed... Internet” etc came up. Previously when I matched with someone who seemed really good, we had problems with the messaging, until after the conversation expired, CMB said there was a problem with the messaging and gave some beans to make up for it. Now I realise this was deliberate so you don’t end up with someone you match well with. It’s in their interest to keep you on the app as long as possible and to get you to pay. Their algorithm is definitely to show you as little as possible so you still stay on the app but don’t find someone so you keep going back. Even their ‘good reviews’ here are probably fake. Reality of the world these days. Don’t waste your time here..Version: 6.36.0

Too Many Fake ProfilesThe app itself is ok. I agree with all the negative reviews. Been using it for a few months. I’ve been connected with multiple men, but the problem is most of them end up being marked unsafe. Most of these men that were marked unsafe were men claiming to be in the military. There was one match in particular that was marked unsafe and then a see the same man in the suggested section, but using a different profile. This site needs to do a better job of identifying fake profiles, especially if the same photo are being used for different profiles. Women, beware if a man you connect with claims to be in the military. Most like he is fake. Now any time I see military on the guy’s profile I immediately pass. The ones that I matched with that had no issues don’t respond. What is the point in liking me if you are not going to chat. In my experience, there is no good quality of men on this site. You are also limited on the number of bagels you get everyday. If I am interested in someone in the discovery section I have to pay money to get beans just to like them and hope that they like me back. There is no guarantee that he will even see me. So far I’ve had a bad experience with this site and have been very discouraged with on-line dating. I haven’t had any successful matches that lead to actually meeting up in person..Version: 5.20.0

Good idea, should be improvedOn the plus side, there are snippets of the person, so you’re not just looking at photographs. Irritations include that there seem to be few people - maybe an artefact of being new to a busy market; the search isn’t great, but a real bugbear is that it resets the search criteria; another disappointment is that you can’t exclude people from your results - there are lots of people I would never match with and don’t want to see their profile in every search. As a result I am thinking of leaving CMB as I am not seeing people I would like to meet..Version: 7.4.0

Buggy chat..Can’t even send messages to matches, need to delete and reinstall the app just to see new matches. A quick google search shows that has been a problem with the app for well over a year.. You’re a dating app, you have two jobs, match people, and let them communicate!.Version: 6.15.0

Worst app ever Waist of money and effortThe premium function that cost 35£ doesn’t work you can’t do anything you can’t like anyone they send you a few people a day that are the opposite of what you said your settings are. Not being funny but can’t use the discover section as premium doesn’t work (not sure what use it is to know when someone was online you can’t like anyone unless you spent another 30£ on top of the 32£ membership) it’s the biggest waist of my time ever and just extremely disappointed that I have paid for the premium it gives nothing like you can’t do anything on the app actually just like the selected people they send you that j am sorry i would never go out with. Also there is no choice. By far the worst dating app in The world. I feel scammed out of my money to be honest.Version: 6.11.0

New interface, same disappointmentI had high hopes based on reviews but I’m very disappointed with CMB. Theoretically it seems like a good app and I like the interface, but the “algorithm” leaves me with one suggested bagel a day (as a girl). None of those have liked me, and most definitely aren’t my type so I have no idea where this algorithm is coming from beyond basic filters. It’s not helped by the number of men who don’t fill out their profiles...but what was I expecting, as that’s a common feature of every dating app. Additionally, I like that you can’t see a bagel’s name unless you like each other, but capping conversation at one week? That alone makes me reconsider using it. I personally refuse to give out my number on dating apps prior to meeting as I’ve had guys use it to track me down on social media, but CMB backs you into a corner- pay extra for “beans”, give out identifying personal information to a stranger, or ghost- if it takes more than a week for your schedules to align. CMB, have you even considered the weight (some) girls give to handing out their number and the stalking it allows in the wrong hands?.Version: 6.7.0

Outdated model for datingCMB gets a lot of high praise - I’d say that’s to do with its app design and functionality. I wonder though if it ends there, and it’s only about the company making money but not delivering on an experience. The model for dating grossly is against males and these apps do not help. For all the money spent on non-responsive females (and yes that is a long running phenomenon), what are you actually paying for? A ‘chance’ to talk to someone or are you actually paying for her self validation while she simply ignores you? CMB, you should only be charging us if contact is made - stop charging us for the attempt. I have raised such issues with you before but you clearly do not take feedback seriously. And for me and other males, that means hundreds or thousands of dollars wasted with no outcome - including no conversation. Your greed is showing..Version: 7.28.0

The most useful feature you have to pay forThe concept of the app sounded good. However, unless you are willing to pay lots of money it is largely a useless app. You have to pay 5 pounds for enough beans to like one person on discovery. This is absolutely ridiculous. Why do I have to pay so much money for the most basic feature that other apps have for free? You don’t have to pay to like people in discover on other apps like Hinge or OKCupid. Therefore, I am stuck with only being able to like the people that CMB suggests. Most of the time I do not end up liking any of them and I have to wait each day for new suggestions. Ultimately I am not getting any matches from CMB because of its awful structure and making basic features monetised. I am deleting it and I recommend others to download apps like Hinge or Bumble. You’ll have more luck on those than with this terrible app..Version: 7.9.1

Worse than TinderDidn’t think I’d ever come across an app worse than tinder, but here we are. Fake profiles, and it’s all a money grab, even seeing your likes requires payment. I’m going to finally try hinge like people have suggested. Wish me luck y’all..Version: 7.57.0

Way too many fake profiles80% of my daily bagels were obviously fake profiles..Version: 7.30.0

Waste of time and moneyOnly download this app if you want to be annoyed about disappearing messages and matches. It’s nearly impossible to keep in touch with people as the system moves old matches to the top of the screen whilst your actual conversations are lost in the bottom. Receive notifications about new messages but the messages are nowhere... Just save your time and money and avoid it!.Version: 6.30.0

Bot email spam!!After signing up and deleting my account from CMB, I started to get weird emails from bots saying stuff like “hello is it me” or “let’s chat” or “hello again this is Jennifer” or anything along those annoying weird bot scam emails Don’t download this app unless you want your data leaked or sold to third parties or scammers!!!.Version: 7.59.0

PatheticUsed the app for a few days, then got an email from CMB that my account was “unapproved” and needed to be verified by sending a picture of myself holding up 3 fingers. I responded with the picture and sent follow up emails, but received no response at all. Meanwhile I can’t log into my account or communicate with people I had matched with. Spend all this time setting up my profile and have nothing to show for it. Pathetic, don’t bother downloading this app..Version: 6.17.0

Awful app, very expensive and wrong matches coming upVery expensive and, despite full subscription, the app keeps on asking for extra fundings to “unlock” more matches. Algorithms don’t work and suggested matches are either miles away or completely of a different age group. Terrible app. I have emailed support and have asked for my money back as I deleted the app but haven’t heard from App Store - I just want my money back please!.Version: 5.19.0

Chinese characters in chat got eaten upIntermittent bug where the last 2 characters if you type chinese will be hidden in chat bubble (only see purple space at the end).Version: 7.36.0

False AdvertisingApp had notifications about matches and I could see through a blurry overlay there were a few matches. Purchased one month to have a look and there was no one in there. Pretty sure that under Australian Consumer Law this be might be a bit naughty. They give off a good vibe as developers but the deliver is designed to just get you to spend money..Version: 6.36.0

Recommend you readThis app actually used to be great for liking or passing on girls you want to date, but it's become nothing but a watered down money-machine with no passion. It purposely shows you bagels every day that you clearly aren't interested in dating, and puts all the individuals that you are interested in into the 'discover' section - knowing full well that they are the people you are interested in, but here's the catch: you need to pay money for beans to obtain them, and a lot of money at that..Version: 4.9.0

Unable to verify my accountI’m unable to use because it keeps saying “unable to verify”.Version: 7.43.0

Won’t use, collects “identifiers used to track you”Won’t use this app until they stop collecting identifiers used to track you as reported on the privacy label on the app’s page..Version: 7.40.0

Does not delete accounts and uses them to make moneyWhen you sign up you sign away your rights to your photos and information you use on this app. I've noticed that some people have been having problems deleting their account and their profile is still circulating even after "deletion". Their profile pictures and information is still up and they are being matched with people. It's a tactic used to fish for more users and also to milk money from people. I've contacted them asking about this issue a couple of times and they refused to answer my question on this matter. To "delete" your account should not be difficult yet they have made it so. This is an invasion of privacy and can cause complications for people that are already in relationships or people who are looking for a potential partner but discover that there's no one behind that account. I'm so disappointed in whoever is behind all this, you should be ashamed of yourselves..Version: 5.18.0

Expensive gamblingYes i saw the thing on shark tank. Theres a reason why they partnered up. Its a great way to milk money out of people. Online dating is already expensive. Most services are reducing what free stuff they used to offer. It seemed like they wanted to charge and arm and a leg until now. Yes its free and there are free features. The more attractive ones are pay to play while the ugly ones are at the end of the daily rotation. With that said, its gambling if i need to pay extra for a chance to talk to someone vs other users. For all i know they are fake profiles since online is full of them. At least other sites you pay a flat rate to find out. This is done to maximize profits...and it’s unethical. I believe i read women use this for free while men are the ones that pay. This would be sexist in todays world so theres that let alone the gender discrimination factoring in there. Im sure women love that double standard. It also seems like you can click all day long on profiles and to cut the line you can send “flowers” that cost more beans. Right... now i have to question if my original request was sent and/or how long is it being delayed by because of this “cut the line” process. Theres too many shenanigans going on to placate any concerns. Also now features that used to be available are being taken away and a subscription is needed for access. And for those reasons, im out..Version: 7.18.0

Coffeemeetsbagel is a terrible appCoffeemeetsbagel is the worst app I have ever used. I have only used it for a week and then I cannot log in to it. After I sent an email to the customer service team, the team told me that I was incorrectly flagged by their system. So it was their system’s mistake that leads to my log-in problem. During this inquiry process, the customer service replied really slowly, they normally reply to your email after a week. They ask me to provide the email and the type of my phone, I fulfilled all of their requirements. Then here comes their new requirement. They ask me to send a new photo holding up three fingers to prove that I am the real user. What a strange requirement and this actually violates the privacy of users. However, I still do so. You know what? The customer service team then does not reply with any decision and just tell me they still need to verify my account after I send them the new private photo of myself. It has been a month and my log-in problem is still not fixed. The customer service team of Coffeemeetsbagel is the worst service I have ever experienced. They reply slowly and do not solve problems. This Coffeemeetsbagel app and their customer experience is so disappointing..Version: 6.6.0

Too May fake accountsI’ve encountered too many fake accounts. Saw a guy that had 3 different profiles. Bad experience overall. Only signed up for 1 month but by the end of 2nd week i felt like abandoning that app..Version: 7.31.0

Good concept, lack usersUnfortunate reality that if I set distance to be reasonably in my area (Niagara), there’s hardly many users. Everyone seems to be as far as Toronto which is a little far. Keeping an open mind though as I like how the app works compared to others, hopefully the user base will be better one day. Also I was sure I saw a message in app recently that you were getting rid of the 7 day limit but it still seems to be there. Not sure if I imagined that.Version: 7.30.0

Was great... now awfulWhen this app first came out I met some great people on it! Now that you have to pay around $3-5 to “like” someone, no one seems to bother replying or liking you now. I spent $100 in one week “liking” people only to receive 1 reply...1 day before the “line closes” (oh yeah, now your chat only lasts 1 week!) Originally a great alternative to Tinder as it actually has some depth and is based on matching for a relationship rather than hook ups, but now they have changed their strategy and clearly got greedy it’s not worth your time (and money).Version: 4.12.0

Too many notificationsI don’t think people read them, I know I don’t. I don’t want to receive bot notifications... only interested in those showing the message someone sent me. Also, it’s actually kind of pressurising to see all of these messages reminding that the chat will close and that I should message etc, in the conversation. Unnecessary and a bit annoying. Maybe it can be removed and we can focus on our matches instead..Version: 6.24.0

SarahBe extremely careful with the app they sell your data to other companies who use it to steal information. I joined this app and had all my information stolen I’m not on any social media other than WhatsApp. They asked to see my passport which I did obviously and then proceeded to steal my information. This app sells your information to other dating data base and also probably on the dark web just be very careful and don’t be surprised if someone takes out a credit card in your name !!!!!!!.Version: 7.11.0

Dead AppI went into this thinking I could find a serious connection with someone, but was sorely disappointed. Other apps are useless, but they have a userbase, so there’s still a very small percentage of success. In my area, a major city, there was probably like 5 people in an 80km distance. Now take that and consider that you’re probably not interested in all of them, and maybe you’d be happy to match with one of them. Don’t waste your time creating a detailed profile like I did. Such a waste of time..Version: 7.42.0

Too badOkay the 1st week from people like me tab, it gave a lot of people and I connected a few. Then the 2nd week in ‘like me’ it had much less people but well matched and learned my preference. However starting from 3rd week, in ‘like me’ I almost can’t choose anyone and it’s totally the opposite type of people from the 2nd week, and it continues now. (Guess what? Not algorithms 🙂 Really sarcastic right?) For the last 2 weeks, I almost can’t choose anyone from that lab. I really don’t understand it CMB. In 2nd week CMB already learned my preference. Why later in like me tab, full of(showed my profile to) people certain I’ll not choose. Want me to stay longer in the app? The algorithm seems very 👎🏻 and annoying of to which people it’s showing my profile to from the 3rd week which is so different from my preference. Today it annoyed me again not only because there’re no one I could connect back but also I passed every ‘ISTJ’ before and would connect back ‘NF or NT’ so in the 2nd week people liked me are ‘NF or NT’ but recently none are and I see these people are ‘ISTJ’ ! Why? I almost want to delete the app but already bought the membership for few months. Please give my money back CMB..Version: 7.16.0

Really great app with REALLY ANNOYING LIMITATIONSLet me start by saying this is A GREAT APP FOR ITS ANTI SWIPING THEME AND MUCH NEEDED!! But there are certain limitations that should be very easily fixed but I’m not sure why they are kept in place... they are: 1. Why is skip the line (a reason to upgrade to premium) only available for bagels (people) in suggested BUT NOT IF YOU SEND A MESSAGE? People want to read messages! So if someone’s popular, you can send a like and a prompt comes up if you want to skip the line and send flowers... but if you send a message like... YOU WILL NEVER GET THIS OPTION!! It should be a really easy switch on the developer side not sure why they do it like this. 2. Why can you NOT send messages with discover likes? Only in suggested? 3. This is more of a bug... why is it when people like you that sometimes their like is in the likes category, but sometimes in the discover section, and other times if it’s coincidence and they’re in your suggested on the same day > the likes show up in there? Really confusing! 4. Why do the app devs MAKE YOU DO A VIDEO CALL? Other apps have options for voice calls or video calls, but this app MAKES you have to do video if you didn’t want to exchange numbers yet. THEN THEY PUT A 15 MIN LIMIT. I understand it’s good to keep it short but what if you want to do a longer call? It keeps ending the call on you and you can redial it again. CUSTOMERS WANT OPTIONS!! NOT LIMITATIONS!!.Version: 7.52.0

Wait, what? Facebook?You REQUIRE Facebook login? What? Ignoring the fact that Facebook is abusive, why would you force your users through an external party? Why would you give another company complete control over your entire userbase? Why would you force people to sign up with Facebook? Especially when the alternative is trivially easy. Just the pressure of apps like these alone to give up and submit your identity to the Facebook overlord is abusive. Stop..Version: 5.12.0

Good concept poor executionOn the plus side the idea behind the app of encouraging people to be more discerning rather than just ego swiping or cat-fishing people is great. On the down side it’s very expensive to buy a membership which also requires you on top of membership to buy their own currency (‘beans’) to interact with matches. It is also extremely buggy so for example my profile was blocked for no reason just after joining which took several unanswered requests for assistance before someone finally responded and sorted the problem. Then two weeks after setting up my profile as a man seeking a woman half my matches started being men. This time no response at all from customer service. CMB has reportedly received $8.4million in seed capital but most of that seems to have been spent on sending the customer service team in an extended round the world cruise. As dehumanising as Tinder and even Bumble are at least the tech works which is more than can be said for CMB. Deleted membership..Version: 6.16.0

What theAlthough I can understand some of their concepts, it doesn’t work when you only introduce five people but then none of them have complete profiles because you’ve limited your users on building a profile based on quantity of logins/days logged in. Same goes for if you see someone you do like! Just because you see them doesn’t mean you actually are allowed to like them because you don’t have “beans“ accumulated. Also your matches are supposed to get better and better, I just keep getting worse and worse. None of them seem to follow my criteria either way..Version: 7.35.0

ExpensiveWhy the heck is seeing my likes so expensive 🤦🏻‍♀️ more expensive than before. Tf..Version: 7.34.0

The App is a little Racist?So I’ve been using CMB for a few months now and i like the concept I really do. There were some genuine matches and some conversations you can have. But I started to notice that, as an Asian male, I was only getting suggested partners who were Asian. Out of my 12 ex’s I’ve actually only dated 2 asians because let’s face it, I’m kind of a washed out Asian as in I’ve grown up surrounded with Caucasian people my whole life (moving internationally constantly since youth) so I actually have more personality compatibilities with people who have lived in similar environments and cultures away from asia - which is natural. So I looked in preferences because I was sure that I never put a ‘preference’ for matches. I was right, I never put a preference because I actually don’t have a preference. But all the suggested matches that I’ve been getting all these months I noticed were all Asian women. And not until I put a preference of Caucasian will I ever get Caucasian suggestions. So I feel like there’s something wrong with the match making - the fact that it could be basing suggested matches to your own ethnicity. Which is a little... bit morally right nor does it mean that only asians will gets long with asians, and so on so forth. So yeah a little disappointing at this front..Version: 6.5.0

Very disappointingI felt as though this app wasn’t truly taking preferences into consideration, and may have been making suggestions based on racial profiling. Having been born in this country and being mixed European and Anglo Indian, my preference was set to White/Caucasian. However most of the guys that were shown on my profile and who I would get likes from were South Asian, despite the fact that I didn’t state that I was South Asian (I barely know anything about the culture and can hardly relate to the people anyhow). This was a truly disappointing experience and I wish the app actually did its job and showed you guys that you would actually be interested in, instead of guys who they think you’d be interested in by only showing those of similar ethnicity (a very flimsy thing to be basing a potential match or relationship off of)..Version: 6.12.0

It’s just a bad appI installed this app about six months ago and can honestly say it’s the most useless one I’ve installed, it has no activity and will send me notifications to tell me people are in my daily ‘stack’ when they aren’t. On top of that the user interface is just awful, trying to figure how to do anything is difficult. I had to contact support just to find out how to delete my account because the process is so convoluted. Would not recommend..Version: 6.5.0

The app needs to be improveSometimes it appears the same person in the discovery and then I press like one of those person and that person just disappear and I think it cost my money and waste my money at the same time. It seems like the app has a lot of Fake profile.!!.Version: 7.46.1

Utterly abysmal excuse of a pay-to-play dating app.CMB is by far the worst dating app I’ve used out of the “top” ones. Your actions have a choke hold based on the in-app currency - Beans. To receive 200 beans, you can follow them on Instagram. To receive 500 beans, you have to act as THEIR marketer by spamming out referral links to your friends, hoping that they’ll bite. Other than that (unless you pay...), you receive 5 beans PER DAY for swiping through your daily bagels. In order to LIKE somebody on CMB through the discover tab, you need to cough up 385 beans. Three hundred eighty five. 385!!!!!! YOU GET 5 BEANS DAILY FOR FREE. I’m currently down to 50 beans. That means UNLESS I PAY, I have to wait 67 DAYS in order to accrue enough beans to like somebody in the discover tab!!! SIXTY SEVEN DAYS. When I first signed up, I was getting 10 bagels per day. I got an in-app offer for the premium subscription model with a free week. My daily bagels has now fallen to TWO. I am getting less bagels as a PAID user. While the discovery tab is nice in terms of filtering your preferences, the bean concept is absurd if you’re charging 385 to LIKE somebody. And two daily bagels is a joke. Horrible horrible overall app experience. NEXT!.Version: 6.27.0

Not many matches.I like the concept of CMB but after about 4 weeks I got one match who disappeared after an hour. The good things are: limited options mean you don’t lose hours meanlessly swiping; and with religious filters you can avoid those whose beliefs are incompatible with your own b.Version: 5.9.1

Data HacksThis is one of the worse apps. No one is on it. It’s run by pro-communist leftist and it’s privacy policy is all about selling data and making money..Version: 7.30.0

Fake profilesSeeing a LOT of fake profiles. Is this normal?? Definitely need some sort of profile verification feature. Getting so many people on my feed using fake photos (most are models, celebrities or gay influencers, all very good looking but so obviously fake)..Version: 7.32.0

Does not delete accountsI deleted my account permanently, but everyone can still see everything and it still exists. Steps I took when deleting account permanently. 1. I deleted my photos and description. 2. After following steps, clicked on permanently delete account. PROBLEM: my account is STILL visible to everyone so now everyone thinks I’ve ghosted them or may waste further beans trying to talk to me. My photos and description are still visible. Conclusion: Your account will be visible upon “permanent deletion” Very misleading perhaps done on purpose to compete with other dating apps...but ethics behind this????? .......Version: 5.23.0

Pointless and convoluted...Im not even allowed to give 0 stars. I have been using online dating on and off for years... and this has been the most mindless, convoluted, money-grubbing-app that ive ever seen... after 2-3 “freebies”, cmb removes your option to message “matches” and replaces it with an option to pay for a subscription! And the worst part: the subscription literally does NOTHING. It gives you one extra “match” per day... as well as a discount on their mindless currency to “match” with other users who ARENT suggected by cmb. In other words: youre limited entirely by cmbs algorithm, which is non existent, to talk to people. Otherwise its the luck of the draw to get matched with someone you wanna talk to. Otherwise, you gotta wait 24+ hours to talk to 5 potential matches... aka women who have no business being matched with you. Theres no innovation here, no smart-app, no customer service/feedback, and certainly no sense to double-charging their customers and STILL not letting them message anyone. This app runs on their popularity on sharktank and their ability to leech money from people before they get lucky enough to move off the app. Which is how EVERY dating app works... this one just runs on stupidity, which is far too common these days..Version: 6.9.0

UX improvements requiredIt’s really a quite average dating app in terms of the user quality. However, more importantly there’s a huge flaw in the UX in discovery feed. Namely, as you may know users use their right thumb to scroll in the feed, however it is very easy to accidentally click on the connect button as it’s just there in the way when trying to scroll through users. I have lost so many beans by accidentally connecting with some dudes I never would. Fix this please!.Version: 5.12.0

Horrible app making sign-up process a nightmareYou might want to watch out for a night mare for just signing up on this app. There was no problem for signing up, deleting my account, and coming back after a while until lately. You can encounter being kicked out while uploading your photos without any prompts that explains what’s going on, then when you contact their customer service, they gonna ask you a million questions, asking you to re-submit your photos, and tons of instruction. This make the user experience feels like a nightmare. I thought after taking a break, I’d give this app another chance, but I was wrong. To anyone who thinks about downloading this app, I’d suggest Hinge that has a better design from a UI/UX point of view, while other apps like Tinder or Bumble never made a fuzz about me signing up, deleting my account for a break, and come back after a while. I simply don’t understand how they design their user workflow for signing up. It’s a joke and a waste of time..Version: 7.42.0

Take the Speed out of DatingThis app makes sense in principle, but in execution it’s garbage. Instead of browsing through hundreds of potential partners as you would on Tinder or Bumble, you are limited to a single highlighted profile to look at each day. Just one. If he or she isn’t to your taste, tough luck. Come back tomorrow! Sure, the discoverer option gives you a small handful of alternative profiles to view, but even that is very limited and doesn’t update until the next day. All in all, if you’re looking to find an attractive potential partner with similar interests to you, and you’re using CMB to do it, you might be waiting until you’re dead. Stick to the dating apps that actually allow you to search for people!.Version: 5.7.0

Poor customer service, bans with no explanationGot banned within two days of making an account with no explanation from customer service, without having even matched with anyone to be able to possibly violate the terms of service. Was told I had no photos on my account when I definitely had uploaded six or seven. Customer service often takes more than a day to respond by saying ‘please see our terms of service.’.Version: 7.27.0

Awful! Horrible! Do not sign up!I downloaded the app and signed up using my phone number instead of Facebook. After a few hours, I wasn’t really pleased with the men on the app. I tried deleting the app but it only gave me the option to “deactivate”. A few weeks later, I received an email from CMB stating that someone gained access to my account. I’m not sure how they got my email address since I used my phone number to sign up. Even weirder that the email they sent, went to an old email address that I don’t use anymore. I asked them to remove my phone profiles associated with both emails and my phone number. It took them almost a week to get back to me, only to say they were backed up and would get back to me later. After about two weeks, they got back to me and told me to login and delete the accounts myself. I tried. The desktop version had no way of logging in. So I downloaded the app again but that only gave me the option to signup. Not login as a current user. I tried Googling their phone number but they don’t have one listed. Finally, I had to send them a threatening email to sue them for posting an unwanted profile of me. Less than 24 hours later, they replied stating the accounts were removed. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THIS APP!.Version: 6.4.0

Rotated profiles and not enough usersDon’t worry about signing this if ur from Melbourne city and looking for guys above age of 38 and above. Not enough users and after you’ve joined for a couple of months, bagels drop drastically.... cmb keeps repeating and rotating some dislike profiles into suggested page.... overall just disappointing with the quality of bagels.Version: 6.27.0

Scam app to blackmail your personal informationDo yourself a favor avoid this app. It’s a total scam to blackmail your personal information. They locked my account immediately after I registered and claimed that they can not verify me despite the fact I have my email and phone number linked to the account. They demand more personal information to unlock my account, which is ridiculous for a dating app. They refused to delete my personal information unless I provide more of my personal information to them. What a joke!.Version: 7.49.0

Terrible quality matches, poor customer serviceThis dating app is the worst of the lot. The matches are all terrible quality (in other words, don’t risk paying for premium) and Jimmu from customer service is a POS, so unhelpful. More hassle than it’s worth..Version: 7.27.0

Not greatGreat if you like being matched with sub par looking people every day while the “Better” looking ones show up on your feed and can only match with them by buying ridiculously overpriced beans.Version: 5.13.0

The new version is so badBefore the latest update I would rate CMB 5stars for its efficiency, have all essential info in one glimpse, no need to swipe and scroll. However u changed it to sth as dumb as other apps. Seriously do u think like a specific session would help trigger the conversation? And that bigger profile photo frame with inappropriate blue shadow indeed makes ppl less attractive.Version: 6.17.0

TrashHorrible app to use after the new update. Need to pay to see any matches.Version: 7.59.0

Very dodgy and limitedEven if you pay and it’s not expensive they limit you extensively and force you to keep paying more. If you are a paid member they present with you 5-8 options daily and it can take a long time to find even one you want to match. They only allow you 8 likes per month as a paid member and then they force you to pay for as a paid member this is ridiculous. If I am a paid member let me like as many as I want. They also control who you can see as search results show only a tiny selection that they decide and after you used your 8 likes you have to wait a month to like anyone again it’s more than £5 per like insane. And you can’t favourite anyone in the search results so they are impossible to find later if you like them but are out of likes. Finally as they want to control everything and treat us like we are babies they limit how long you can talk in the chat with you matches. Worst dating app. If I pay let me like as many as I want. Let the search results show me all results that match. Let me decide when and how long I take to chat to my matches. They obviously do this as if it was open like other apps like hinge you would like the profiles they have in a day and leave quickly this way they keep people on longer. This is made for them to milk your purse not to help you find good dating options. Hinge is much better..Version: 7.2.0

Possible scam, or very bad design.Been with them for a year. All other apps I always match at least once every couple weeks, and even went on a couple dates, but all this app did was trick me into wasting money all year. I think they may be fake. Other apps work, this one doesn’t. Continue at your own risk. I always find it funny when a dating app suddenly has a like for you when the subscription runs out. lol Right..Version: 7.55.0

Fake profiles, information miningBots or people with nothing better to do try to profile you for purposes of providing more “matches”, thereby enticing you to pay for membership or beans. Don’t waste your time falling for this..Version: 7.61.0

Awful experienceThis is such a lame application as when I logged in it failed thousands of times without any reason, just repeating that “sorry we are not able to verify your account”. It was even blocked later. I wrote them an email saying that send help. They asked me to take a weird photo to verify my account. Ok so I sent them donno if this time it will work as I saw another customer has the same bad experience on it. He was later asked to send another photo to verify which is terrible. I don't want to be treated like this and I have spent so much time on this stupid application, hoping to know somebody new. But screw it, just doesn't work at all as it doesn't even let you LOG IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Version: 7.29.0

Eh.I’m a guy that lives in a major Australian city. My search radius is set to 80km and I only get one free like a day. First issue - women get six free likes vs men who only get one. Second issue - how does the algorithm work? One day I’ll get a decent-looking woman/supermodel who’ll have 50 people that liked her and the next day I’ll like an average girl that’s liked by less than 10 people. My discover is constantly full of Asian women (which isn’t my target audience) and there’ll maybe be one Western/Hispanic amongst them that gets a take from me. Fix the algorithm maybe. Randomise the daily bagel so it’s not consistently a good-looking woman with tons of likes. I haven’t matched anyone in months and I like most women on here. Third and biggest issue - beans are too expensive I’ve spent nearly ~$150 in the 4-5 months I’ve been on here to “take” women I like out and maybe one person matched with me in the end. This may be an app with quality women but is not man-friendly..Version: 5.20.0

PAYMENT DETAILSI have paid for this app, after payment and deduction I get a message saying the payment details are not uploading , I have emailed the team, they asked me for the ss which I provided, but no action I just learned I wasted 57$ , ended subscription and deleted the app :).Version: 7.41.0

Seems like good concept, but as a free user it’s a waste of timeI’ve tried both CMB and hinge and have found way more success on hinge. The matches I get are consistently more attractive and if you are half way decent at messaging its easy to get an engaging conversation with someone who fits your “type”. I originally thought CMB would be better since on the surface it looked like you would only get selections of girls/guys that fit your “type” everyday. Unfortunately while they were my preference for religion, location, etc., they were just less desirable physically. I think this is because the matching algorithm allows paid users to get boosted on more desirable profiles. So those more attractive people that you may see in discover you will never see unless you also pay to get boosted. And if you are used to getting “liked” by attractive people on hinge or tinder you will seem to only get liked by those same users who have the beans to spend on discover. I could see how this concept could work if they rotated in more desirable profiles but as someone who is finding way more success on hinge without paying I say don’t waste your time with CMB because you can set the same filters on hinge for free..Version: 6.4.0

False advertising???The App Store gives it a 17+ rating but you have to be 18+? I don’t understand.Version: 7.57.0

Annoying notificationsNot a bad app. Though you get the more attractive profiles in the discover tab which you have to pay for to ‘like’ - hmmm. The most annoying thing however is the notifications. Notification badge daily about ‘new’ matches. Notification badge about a chat expiring. Basically a nuisance notification for any excuse. You could disable these, but then you wouldn’t know if someone had sent you a message. Not as good as Tinder or Bumble..Version: 5.3.0

Rarely Get Seen by Any Bagels Starting These 3 Months...I have used CMB for a year and it is currently my favorite apps as it did introduce me to a group of more genuine people of quality and I didn’t spend to boost my profile. However, starting these 3 months, I rarely get seen by the potential matches anymore; 90% of the bagels CMB sent to me are the ones that haven’t seen me before. And CMB keeps up-selling me the $1.99/$3.99 boost service, as if I don’t buy it, I will remain as this invisible person on CMB. I checked my preference and made sure that I was realistic — male, age 28 to 40, taller than 5’10, all ethnicity and religion are welcome, within 50 miles. And I also examine myself — 28 yrs old, 5’8, 125 lbs, non-smoker, with a master’s degree in a good university and a good job in Fortune 500, and I provide photos of good quality and a succinct, interesting bio. Still, CMB keeps sending me bagels that haven’t seen me and keeps inviting me to upgrade and pay. I had bought the boost service once but I don’t think I will again as if CMB is not going to let me be seen unless I pay. I couldn’t help but wonder — Why am I not being seen by guys on CMB any more? Can someone from CMB help me answer this? Thank you!.Version: 5.21.1

CmB has changed, in a not so good way.I recall when CmB was an awesome dating app to use. The overall concept and just simply the name was/is great. Fast forward to today and something tells me that a lot of these profiles of people/women are inactive profiles. This includes the profiles under the Discover tab. I know there's the Active within the last 72 hours function, but the effort of description in these profiles tell me that they're either fake profiles or inactive. The profile may be an actual user but they have been inactive on CmB for months. Maybe not even have the app on their phone any longer. Most likely they did not suspend or delete their account when coming off. I think CmB should have a system that filters out profiles where the user has not been active the least 2-3 weeks, and putting priority to the daily active profiles. Us active users shouldn't continue to pay for extra coffee beans or a premium subscription if a lot of the profiles have had zero activity for some weeks..Version: 6.16.0

$$$ and fakesSo you get like 6 free likes a day and you get 5 beans in total, to like someone outside of the free likes it is 300 beans… to extend a chat that’s been quite for a few days it’s 99 beans… and half the time it’s pop ups to buy more beans… and to top that off half of the people on their set their location to England when they don’t even live here! So if and when you do manage to get a match, chances are they don’t even live in the same country as you 😅.Version: 7.55.0

People: amazing, app quality: needs workThe people I’ve met on this app have been out of this world amazing, however I run into critical issues with the messaging system that are just not acceptable and let an otherwise great app down. I’d like to rate 5 stars but when the app does things like lose messages intermittently, not show you messages you’ve been sent sometimes and things like that, it risks derailing the conversations on the app We need to be able to trust the messaging system, it’s worrisome to know that you only saw certain messages because you hard restarted the app by chance for example.Version: 7.39.0

Banned, but I am a real personIf you are a woman that upsets a man or someone on CMB you will be banned. This happened to me. I am a real person- not a scammer- I’m a kind person, and the only thing wrong I did was apparently talk to the wrong man on CMB. After I decided (because he made me feel unsafe, was pushy, unkind, and brushed off my safety concerns) I no longer wanted to have any contact with him I was banned from CMB. A word advice- if anything goes wrong with someone from CMB block them immediately before they report you (I should have done so) or you will be banned too. I can easily prove I am a real person with identification, friends from CMB that I know in person, my work information/ID etc. it doesn’t matter. So I would suggest to definitely not pay for anything longer than month because even if you have a paid account you will still be banned. This man has also started sending me all sorts of scam text messages and emails. I am positive they are from him because before I stopped talking to him all I ever received was every once in awhile a scam email, but now I’ve started receiving a bunch of scam/not legitimate text messages as well as emails from someone that knows personal details of my life..Version: 7.58.0

You literally can’t do anything.Here again to discourage you all from downloading this app, unless you like having things taken away from you. Midway through a convo with a really interesting guy my messages 1. Got lost in the chat 2. Refused to send 3. I got notification banners saying I received multiple replies but couldn’t find the banners in my notification centre nor could I see the new messages in the chat. Doesn’t help that the chat expires?? What is going on, guys?.Version: 6.36.0

Greedy appThey charge for liking someone and even for messaging. I heard it used to be nice but they got greedy and ruined the app. Who would want to spend $100 liking girls when you could be out there having a nice dinner with a REAL girl. Deleted it after being charged $2 within my first 5 minutes of interaction with this app. Do not waste your time with this rubbish.Version: 5.22.0

Still unsure of the APPI have only been on the app a week. After reading some of the reviews I have a better understanding of how the app works. I have never used a date app or tried online dating. Where is what I noticed so far. The first day I had a tone of likes. I am not sure if the was a gimmick to encourage app use but done since day one. It is possible no one has “liked” me. My discover and bagels are basically the same. If I wait a day they just switch back and forth from the different categories. I set my search filters, creating a board consideration base, trying to be open to the possibilities but haven’t seen much of a change in possible bagels. Day one, I connected with someone. Again, I don’t know if this was to continue app use or not. The bagel, didn’t remember the answers to his prompt and then didn’t really “conversate”. Again, it could have been an accident and they just weren’t interested. I’m hoping to see a change in bagels over the next week or I won’t stay with the app and just try the old fashion way. I do like the limited bagel numbers and number of likes. It makes one stop and consider each person. However, you are forced to pass on a daily bagel instead of seeing all bagels for that day. There is no way to think through all the bagels and go back and like one..Version: 6.33.0

Useless app full of scam profilesI have yet to communicate with a “real” person on here who isn’t later flagged as a suspicious person. If you read most profiles, it’s clearly obvious by the grammar and punctuation used, that they are written by someone who is not English as first language = most likely a scammer. “I’m an honest man, nature loving man, gentle man, anything else listed followed by man”, Nice pictures, nice job, and if you look past the nonsensical profile, the education listed is even funnier to decipher. So, you’re a doctor and you got you Master’s degree from (fill-in-the-blank) High School? Don’t fall for buying beans to “like” people. It’s for amusement only. Like/dislike your daily matches and stockpile your beans. Chances are very likely that if you spend money buying beans and connect with someone, their profile will be flagged as a scam, or they copied a profile that makes sense, but when you start communicating with them, their grammar will quickly alert you that their profile is a scam. Save your money and don’t get your hopes up! Do yourself a favor and install the Veracity app, screen shot any potentials, and run their photos through the screener. Chances are, the photos are stolen/don’t belong to the profile. *For pure entertainment purposes and time wasting only.Version: 6.13.1

Designed to benefit girls not guysCMB is not fair by limiting the number of bagels but not limiting the number of matches. Popular girls get 30 likes easily in a day. Even they like back only half of them, they still cannot handle talking to 15 matches at the same time. While they definitely enjoy this feeling of being popular, they still suffer from the pain of not being able to commit to all the matches. Guys, on the other hand, only get 1 to 2 matches in a week or even 2 weeks, so they commit each single match they can have. This inevitably leads to guys being ghosted by girls. If CMB can limit the number of matches, this unfair situation can definitely be improved: guys are ghosted less and girls can decide more seriously which one to match because once they match, girls would cherish that match as they know it’s one of the few that they could match. Also set a 24 hour deadline for unmatch: if no response in 24 hours, then unmatched. We’re humans not ghosts. If no intent to chat, then why match?.Version: 7.33.0

GarbageGuys, don’t fall for it. It’s a scam..Version: 4.12.0

Too RestrictedIt seems really limiting and slightly racist that you can filter people in the “discover” tab by race but not religion? I’m trying to meet more people who share my faith; I don’t care what they look like. Also, why can’t I “complete” my profile without saying where I work? I’ve put what I do—as my company only has one location in the area, I don’t feel comfortable sharing more. Completeness should be limited to the essentials..Version: 6.2.1

No good in MelbourneI gave it a try for two weeks, and did not come across any profiles I was interested in. The app is a bit clunky to navigate and you can’t view many people in one day. I don’t mind the idea of slow swiping, but the concept doesn’t really work when there aren’t enough quality profiles. And that is the main problem with this app - at least in Melbourne. There are real lack of attractive men, and I felt the algorithm wasn’t really taking my preferences into account. The real takeaway for me is that it doesn’t really matter how good the concept is - if the people aren’t there, the app won’t work. Also - I notice there are a few reviews from Asian users saying the app is racist as they are recommended mostly Asian bagels. I’m not Asian, but at least half the profiles I saw were Asian. I don’t think the app is racist - I think there are just a lot of Asian users on the app..Version: 6.30.0

Persistent Glitches are Ruining this AppIn concept, I like Coffee Meets Bagel a lot. However, every time I come back to it, I run in to problems that make it virtually unusable. On this most recent foray, I got several matches, sent a hello and waited for the reply. And it came! A welcome notification on my phone that a match had messaged me back. So, I opened the app...the message wasn’t there. No updates to my chats since the last message I sent. Shutting the app down and restarting had no effect, so I tried reinstalling. The reinstall resulted in all of my chats but one disappearing. Not finding any more useful trouble shooting guidance online, I tried one more reinstall. Now all of my chats are gone. Based on previous experience, the conversations will eventually load in the app...three hours from now, or five or eight. There’s no way to really know. But these kinds of updating problems are pretty fundamental and the fact that they have not been fixed after months of problems for me and other users is frustrating. Perhaps there is an update in the works that will resolve these issues. One can hope, but in the meantime I think I’ll be putting this app aside..Version: 6.19.0

Buttons mistakeOn the Discover page, the like button is on the very right side of the screen, making it very easy for the user to tap it by mistake while scrolling. Please fix the user interface!.Version: 6.28.0

One of the worst out thereI didn’t like the fact you need beans to contact people, and once the free ones run out they are expensive to buy. I don’t like that if you loose your Discover people the next day. What if you’ve used your beans, and find someone you want to try contact. Unless you are prepared to pay for the beans, they’re gone. Not enough matches available. I got some sent through on Discover for the first three days, and then everyone that came through were not meeting the criteria I had selected at all. Not worth the effort - Account has been deactivated and app has been deleted. 👎👎👎.Version: 5.8.0

A pay-what-you-got softwareFor man's account, you only get matched if you pay the subscribe. Otherwise, it is waste of time. Even matched with someone, the poor online behavior will not get you into a conversation..Version: 7.57.0

Doesn’t even deserve 1 star...This app is ridiculous. So awful I deleted pretty much straight away. That was months and months back yet this app keeps reappearing on my phone. No profile and can’t even open/get into the app but takes up space on my phone and no way of deleting it off! I’ve contacted them endlessly and have had no help. Worst app ever and I’d stay well clear!!!!.Version: 5.20.0

Use HINGE instead. This app LITERALLY restricts you from matching unless you payThe latest update to how the app works limits you from seeing who likes you to ONE view per day. Before this update, you would see one profile with a clear picture and able to view it and choose whether you want to match. If you have more than one person who like you, their profile is blurred and remains inaccessible. I thought this was fair for a free app. But now if you view the “likes you” screen and switch to another tab then go back to the “likes you” screen, you’re greeted with a message that says “You’ve reached your limits for viewing Likes today”. I’ve literally only switched to that tab once today and it said I already used up my 1 view (how can I do that if this is literally the first time I’m viewing my “likes” page today??? This update to the viewing “Likes” system now literally restricts you from having a match UNLESS YOU PAY. No other app is this restrictive to their free users. I recommend potential online daters go with another app — Hinge is free, gives you unlimited views of profiles, and doesn’t have dumb restrictions like only letting you view a screen ONCE PER DAY..Version: 7.60.1

Not enough users, far too expensive…I live around the middle of Kent, yet it seems the only users that pop up are either from London or Brighton… seriously, as an experiment I tried altering my location, changing the search radius, my preferences… yet nothing changed. Not to mention the amount of (beans) required to like people and the amount they cost is absurd. In todays economic climate this app isn’t worth your money or your time..Version: 7.62.0

Inactivating your account doesn’t actually stop people seeing you!The app is hard to use, I inactivated my account but kept getting matches in the discover section, so inactivating doesn’t stop people seeing your profile! Because there is no way to stop people seeing my account I ended up deleting it completely. Don’t bother with this app.Version: 6.6.0

Not so many peopleTo be honest, not so many people use this app. Chance is very low..Version: 7.35.0

UselessThis site used to be the best not until the upgraded and messed up things. They wouldn’t let your profile stay for at least 24hours. They kept blocking me off from accessing my account and I really wonder why. I wouldn’t recommend for anyone if you are seriously looking a find someone. Try some other dating site. 👎.Version: 7.31.0

Sexist app, similar to bumbleI have used this app for several years since the inception of it. I have done long term relationships to hookups. What I’ve noticed is that a user can “report” someone for bad offline behavior. It seems the simp of an employee or feminist employee simply listens to whatever the reporting person says and doesn’t take into consideration what was being sent over the phone (either text messages, pictures, live conversation). For an app to pass judgment they need to see the entirety of any offline interaction and not just a single message or paragraph of a long conversation. Guys- beware of the users in this app as well as the employees of CMB. Always save your texts as they can be used in a court of law to defend yourself from baseless, harmful accusations that some twisted women will throw out nowadays. Buyer beware with the knowledge that cmb records and analyzes all your messages from within the app and saves them prob indefinitely. Any type of sensitive information should never be sent across the app as it is NOT in confidence. I wouldn’t be surprised if this app has a class action lawsuit like bumble did for the partial and biased treatment of men. I’m going to ask my corporate friends how they feel about this..Version: 7.23.1

Beware free trial!I’m a woman who wanted to meet some kind and attractive people, so I tried this app for a few days. It was alright, I appreciate how user-friendly it is and how they try to focus on quality over quantity. However, I opted in for a free one week trial of their premium subscription just to see what it was like and when I went to cancel, I saw that if I hadn’t, they would have charged me $120 for a 6 month subscription automatically! That is insane. My opinion of this app went way down when I saw that. The point of free trials is to get people to want to subscribe, but apps usually make a lot of money off of people who signed up for a free trial and forgot to unsubscribe. I’m horrified at the thought that if I had forgotten to cancel, I’d be down 120 bucks. I’d understand if the automatic charge was like $15 or $20, that’s about what other apps will charge you I think. I’m just blown away. Not to mention I went through like 100 profiles and saw about 3 people I found attractive. Needless to say, I had no second guesses about deleting my profile and I would warn anyone who wants to try this app to be very careful..Version: 6.30.0

Terrible appStarted off somewhat well, but had long stretches without a a single match. The vast majority of the few matches I did get seemed to loose interest very quickly and stopped replying. Some didn't even have the decency to reply to any messages sent. If the girl doesn't like you back after liking them then you have no way of connecting with them at all, even if you feel like they would be a suitable match. Go out into the real world to meet someone instead of wasting your time and killing your self esteem on this useless and pathetic app..Version: 4.11.0

Not a Fan So FarI find this app very confusing and annoying. I had a glitch with a message a bagel sent me. I got a notification that I got a message, and saw the preview, but when I went to the app it wasn’t there. It finally showed up later, but showed after my reply, which doesn’t make sense. Who knows when the bagel actually sent the message. The bagel left the chat room after, because he probably thought I replied super late or something. I tried to contact customer service, but when you go to Help and Support, you can only chat with a bot now. CMB sends annoying notifications telling users to send a message to our matches all day, and you can’t stop them unless you turn off notifications in general. I’ll send a message if I want to, sheesh. I don’t get what makes it suggest users for us. It is unclear what happens when we “like” or “take” someone. It is annoying to worry about how many beans we need in order to do anything. We should get some from using the app. We can get a bean if we pick which photo of a user is better in the Photo Lab, but it would take too long to get a good amount, and why would I want to be some kind of rating bot for the app?.Version: 5.24.2

Another scam dating app..Don’t be fooled.. fake profiles, likes are “beans” that a locked behind a pay wall, search is limited to maybe 15 profiles.. and this is all with the PREMIUM VERSION!! I want a refund.. $50.00 down the drain.!.Version: 7.35.0

ScamHuge scam. Hookers are cheaper. Whoever created this is no different than a snake.Version: 7.41.0

Fake usersThis app is flooded by Asian women. Not that it’s an issue but most of the users are fake. Either living overseas, looking to scam men, or looking for attention. The boosted feature is a scam as it doesn’t improve matches at all. The app IMO hides your profile so don’t get matches. This app is bordering fraudulent for the above issues and IMO it should be avoided unless they take the issues serious. But they won’t, I bet I’ll just get a token reply here but the scam will continue..Version: 7.43.0

They start with less popular peopleUnethical and misleading scamming system will make sure they get your money By revealing popular profiles after you have spend the free beans, and even after that most of the good ones are fakes... So disgusted by these kind of company..Version: 7.60.1

Can’t do anything - what’s the point of this app?Tried this a while back and decided to give it another go. It is now surprisingly bad. You used to be able to see at least a small number of people who like you, daily, on the free account. Now, you can’t see anyone who likes you, you have to pay for a subscription to see. You can only rely on the Suggested section, which you get a handful of profiles for a day. So the odds of you matching with anyone is basically… slim to zero. I don’t even know what the beans are for any more. It looks like you can use them to boost your profile but what’s the point when you can’t see who likes you? Counterintuitive, unhelpful and pretty redundant. Deleted after 1 day back on it. Avoid if you actually want a useful dating app..Version: 7.60.0

Great idea, chat disappearsThe idea of the app is great, the way it provides matches is unique however it’s essential function of chat is not functional at all. I receive notifications for messages but when I open the chat there’s nothing available. I’m not even able to send a message saying the chat’s bugged because none of my messages deliver. Reinstalling the app to see every new message really isn’t a solution, hope you’ll find a fix..Version: 6.12.0

Used to be a great quality dating appThis used to be a great matching quality dating app and used to get subscription because it was worth it. But now I can literally see the updates that were made is just to desperately make users want to get the subscription. I can tell the algorithm just leaves people who liked you just to tease you into buying subscription but it feels pretty pathetic overall. Why don’t you head in the direction to increase the quality of the matches instead to bring more people in. Pretty sad to see you guys are just trying to scrap every little penny out of people’s pocket. Feels bad..Version: 7.61.0

Honestly so disappointedI wanted this app to work so badly since I’ve had friends recommend it, but it’s just so buggy that the user experience is completely ruined. I’ve had the app for three days now and it hasn’t given me a single suggestion, nor does anything work properly apart from parts involving charging money. I’m fairly certain the app thinks I’m not connected to the internet. It’s ridiculous. I’m sure it’s a great idea and app when it does work but at the moment it is impossible to use..Version: 7.72.0

There are better dating app optionsThere are better dating app options than Coffee Meets Bagels. The way the app works is that everyday at Noontime, they send you about 7-8 different profiles to potentially match with. Now, their algorithm for matching is a zero or 1/5. Pretty much every profile I get sent as a “match” is not close to meeting the criteria I want (not only with looks but with career and a serious lack of maturity that comes across in their profile for those who say they want a life partner). Also, if you want to browse profiles that are not part of your daily matches, there are BARELY ANY profiles that show up in the search: it’s really a joke as I’ll have a filter for men age 37 to 52 for Toronto (a huge city mind you) and there will often be ZERO profiles pulled or maybe only 1-3 occasional profiles. It’s a pretty sad dating app and there are better options both for those looking for a life partner and also those looking for a casual fling..Version: 7.60.1

EhThe app is fairly easy to use, but the guys are just like they are on any other dating app. Even though you both have to have liked each other to open up messaging, many of them won’t message you back. Which makes no sense because they already liked your profile. But then I read that the app gives men several more options every day than it gives women to simulate what it’s like for men vs. women. This basically devalues the women presented as matches to the men. As a woman I think a little harder about the like/pass I grant one of the 4 or 5 daily matches given to me—I look at the written profile, not just the pictures. Apparently guys just make a quick judgment on pictures, hit “like”, and then can’t answer a simple hello (or initiate communication) from someone whose profile they already liked because they don’t actually read it until they get a message from you. Of course some guys are fine. But if you give them too many choices then the women just sit around waiting for something to happen. The discover tab also frequently shows me more attractive matches who have already liked me, but of course they cost beans. I am done with this app..Version: 5.5.0

The bagels are a gambling systemI already noticed that this app will calculate who gets liked more often and put them in the bagel section instead of the daily free rotation. I'm fine with that, it's business. But after buying extra bagels multiple times on top of my subscription I thought how am I going to know if these people will ever see me? Especially when there's naturally more men on dating apps then women, there's more clutter for them to go through. A bagel costs something like $4-$5, a little less with the discount, so it's a gamble to send someone a bagel not knowing AT ALL if they'll even see you. After a month of this I still have zero matches, I feel CMB delays when people see you as long as they see you stop paying for awhile. That's how I met someone on here last year, after a couple months of not paying attention to the notifications I matched with someone I must've like weeks or months ago. I'm just hoping people who paid up at least for awhile can actually get on the higher end of the algorithm, someday. Response: I understand the app can be used for free, but it's absolutely clear the more attractive choices are on the discover section in which you have to buy bagels to send to people than the daily free rotation of people. I spent money on bagels on multiple occasions never knowing the person I liked will ever see me. I'll also go days without liking a single person on the free rotations. 380 beans for a bagel to send to one person is ridiculous..Version: 5.5.0

Worst App seriously waste of timeWorse app, and I have tried them all. Only dating app that doesn’t have political party affiliation selection, seriously this is 2023 and it’s extremely important to many when choosing a partner, get with the times CMB. Why would I pay $35 a month where all the other apps have political party affiliations that are shown on people’s profiles. Maybe this is why you don’t have a lot of users. I don’t want to waste my time getting to know someone just to find out they hold opposite political views, I will just stick to other dating apps where this is visible. For an app owned by women it’s not too women friendly by not allowing women to filter out those who vote against abortion rights. I guess there is some truth to CMB catering to white men as the Facebook group “CMB is racist” suggests. That is the only reason I can think of for them not including political party affiliations because it would impact white men the most as they tend to be more conservative, which has become really unpopular in the dating scene due to the overturning of roe v wade. Maybe if they included this important selection they will have higher amount of users..Version: 7.59.0

Waste of moneyThe guys have to spend money to buy coffee beans just to send “likes” to girls. It takes you £3-4 just to send a meaningless like and you know nothing about their name nor can you drop them a message. Totally waste of time or money. Why can’t the devs allow users to know girls’ names and drop them a message? OkCupid did it right and guys get better experience and responses there compared to this app. I wasted quite some money buying coffee beans and still no fun interaction like in OkCupid. Redo the app and make it more interactive or risk losing users!.Version: 5.22.0

False reportingAnyone who reports you has no obligation to prove anything. Nonsense.Version: 7.59.0

This Coffee got bitterWhen I first started using the app, it came across as a really great concept; it had a personal feel and I like that matches are limited, so it doesn’t get overwhelming/time consuming. It felt like the app was a lot more genuine than others, and the interface was great 👌🏼but the whole beans system has become a bit of a let down, it’s very hard to earn them and expensive to buy them 😕 Online dating can be pretty fickle, for everyone 1 person that you talk to, there can be 5 or more matches that won’t talk (based on other dating apps). If I wanted to buy a subscription, I’d buy it from a more established app and if I wanted to gamble my money away(buying beans), I’d hit up a casino, not waste it on potentially getting a ‘like’ from someone. It seems you guys are chasing profits and not even bumping up the advertising, to get more people on. Your online support is pretty limited as well 👎🏼.Version: 5.2.1

Useless and annoyingWill do anything to lure you into buying membership, but the pool of male profiles is unimpressive. Extra “beans” are ridiculously expensive when you consider what you get in return. The most annoying parts? The app will keep pushing profiles of the people you have already rejected. What a waste of money and time! It also keeps erasing the settings of the “discover” part, so every day when I log in I have to reset my criteria, otherwise it will force me to go through all the profiles I’d not be interested by default. Utter waste of money and time..Version: 6.12.0

Be cautious and the app will force you to provide government IDThis app flagged my account as a scam for nothing. The support team asked for a photo of mine with certain posture to verify my id and it took over a week. After I provided the photo they requested, they asked for my government ID. This is ridiculous and absurd. This verification process is included in the terms of services when I signed up but who actually read this??? and what kind of dating app requires government ID for account verification? Rather Use hinge or bumble. Thanks John from the support team for wasting my time :).Version: 7.39.0

Flagged for no reason?Have been using this app for a few months, and was recently flagged with no explanation. I contacted them to fix my problem and they haven’t responded AT ALL. If you’re not going to let the phone sign-in work then don’t even place the option there. Step up your game, I’ve deleted this app for good. Don’t even bother.Version: 6.25.0

Meh... Competition is betterInteresting concept... But you can't really filter for who you'd like to meet, the active user pool is still small, and this app is just a profiteering exercise. First, there are certain things which are complete deal breakers that they don't address or let you filter out such as "has kids" or "doesn't have kids"... so you start chatting with someone, get all excited and then find out after a while that you two aren't compatible... Second, the user pool is either pretty limited (and I live in a major metropolis). so you get matched with people for free each day, but after a while the matches are not active users... expect weeks of silence once you're through the initial active users within a month of starting... Third, "beans" are required for EVERYTHING... initially you'd get them in compounding amounts for being active for x amount of days, helping to rate other users pics etc as an incentive to be on the app... yeah that magically disappeared... so now you have to rate literally 1 users pics for 1 bean and it takes 385 beans to do anything... so be prepared to pay money or have rating people's pictures as your second job..Version: 5.2.1

Low quality scamsApp doesn’t let you like anyone, it suggests 30 accounts that basically look like copies of the same person over and over. Once you go through the pile it wants you to pay $50 for another pile of generic fake people..Version: 7.60.1

Too many restrictionsBehind every section you can be active, the app promotes their paid subscription; if you click on the ‚time sent‘ e.g. as you can apparently buy read receipts. It‘s very annoying to use if you don‘t want to pay, and hardly of any use as you only match with a tiny portion of people who probably feel the same way about the app..Version: 7.6.0

This app is weirdThe position where like button is designed may get a false like. Matched like didn’t reply..Version: 7.54.0

Very slow in the bootstrap phase and too few matchesBack in the days I would have rated this app 5 stars, but now a few things have changed. First of all, the app takes too long to launch, and it's not about the connection. It uses to be faster, I have no idea what happened. Secondly, I don't have matches at all. I know I can't blame the app for this, but I wonder why before I had. I guess the algorithm should prioritise active members. I have the feeling that many members are not actually active ones. Nevertheless it used to be a nice app, and I hope it would be back being as good as before.Version: 5.4.0

Shoddy design and testingOn the iphone 14 pro max, leaving a compliment is impossible. I waited for weeks for an update to fix the issue, but none happened. This is discrimination against a segment of your users. There is no excuse for putting the confirmation box after leaving a compliment in an invisible space up top, and therefore we can’t use it. Shoddy design, shoddy testing..Version: 7.64.0

FeedbackYou need to provide some way of users giving feedback. There needs to be more information and clarity on how to earn free beans and the logging on provision needs to be for longer than the first week. There’s not enough members to convince me to spend money on it yet. I’ve spent beans on a like and then that person has come back, I don’t know if the like has been lost or if they’ve created a new log on. I think this has potential but there needs to be more for free to get me bought in..Version: 6.17.0

No goodEver since filling out the very extensive profile I’ve received several unsolicited calls from unknown overseas numbers. I’m maybe being paranoid. The profile set up is very long winded and requests a lot of information leads you to believe there will be limited but specific to you matches. The only matches I’ve had were from areas and age ranges not within my preset search ranges and the language used was stilted so can only assume the profiles are not genuine. Avoid!.Version: 7.1.0

Racist algorithm?While the CMB app has some merits, I have been floored by the apparent racism of the algorithm used to suggest potential matches. As an Asian female, I found that I am being shown a disproportionately high number of Asian males - particularly in the “Discovery” section (20 out of 25 profiles today!) - when this isn’t even set up as my preference. It looks like I’m not the only person with this concern either, as I read a similar complaint in a review below mine. This needs to be fixed..Version: 6.26.0

Wasted 1 hourJust wasted 1 hour to cherry pick the right photos and captions - totally normal ones - only to get suddenly kicked out and “unable to verify my account” with my regular phone number - for no reason whatsoever!!! I’ve literally just created my normal account and haven’t even got a chance to message or match with anyone. Good thing I didn’t buy any subscription yet as this seems to be happening an awful lot, according to other reviews. What a disappointing start. Shame on you CMB. Shame shame shame! If you help me fix this issue ASAP, I’ll update my review. UPDATE I was finally able to get back online and been using the app for a few weeks now. Think I’m about to delete it completely - I rarely get any men in suggested, liked or discover that I’m really attracted to. It’s like they don’t show my profile enough to the good looking men, and only show me some questionable men for free. I’m a gorgeous girl with a well filled out profile, and never had this issue before. Also, a huge bummer: I don’t see my new messages very often; somehow, they don’t show as new for days and weeks, and then of course the chat expires and I need to pay to reply. Blood sucking app that’s designed to nickel and dime you, not help you find meaningful connections..Version: 6.37.0

ConvolutedAll dating apps are largely only as good as the group of people you can meet using them. Not a problem in my city. However the mechanics and rules underlying cmb are just far too convoluted. Compared to any other dating app it just doesn’t quite seem worth it. It just doesn’t hang together as a very enjoyable experience..Version: 7.4.0

Dodgy appThis app will not let me delete my account, nor will it let me delete all of my pictures - it keeps one and won’t let me delete it. I would also like to remove my email address - once again, the app will not let me delete it. Had I known I wouldn’t be able to remove myself from it, I wouldn’t have downloaded it in the first place. Not impressed in the slightest.Version: 6.23.1

Men here are fraudsI spoke with 12 different men here. All but one was a widow and had a child/children. Every one of them either had their account banned (well at least CMB was trying) it eventually made it around to asking me for a large amount of money for a sob story. Every one of them wanted to talk outside of the app because CMB only allows you to use the app for free to chat for a short while (a week if I recall correct) and then you have to pay more or find another way to talk... so they all wanted to chat with me on another app... and they all professed to love me in mere days... not suspicious at all!!!! I held out help for several but was cautious... until they both asked for money. One asked for $2200 so he wouldn’t have to get deployed.. (I didn’t know the navy could be bribed?!?!!) another asked for $6500 for a business investment.. most of them are “military” or overseas for this, that or the other reason... asks to video with you but... oh, sorry my camera is broken, you won’t be able to see me... red flag after red flag, after red flag. I’m not saying it’s all the app’s fault... just my experience on THIS app. I’ve done better on OkCupid or bumble, POF or match..Version: 5.14.0

Waste of moneyThere are much better apps out there, which are simpler to use.Version: 7.30.0

No longer able to send Bagels to friendsOn the iOS app, one can no longer send Bagels to friends. That’s just one of the feature deletions, including removal of the history and the filters in Discover. The app is getting worse bit by bit. Look elsewhere..Version: 5.15.1

Very few membersThis app has a good concept that worked for a few days - when I got a few genuine people as a match. After 3 days the app exhausted its database. Also there are many guys who serve in American military which I find very suspicious and also many Chinese men which is not for everyone’s taste. I do not recommend this app..Version: 5.24.0

Absolutely avoid!!After having matched with two interesting people first the app would not allow my messages to be sent and it will not allow me to log in. Totally abysmal customer service as well..Version: 7.39.0

Needs moreNeeds 3D touch support. Have the FAQ inside the app instead of link out to website, and better swipe gesture navigation.Version: 3.21.0

App Doesn’t WorkDownloaded the app, uploaded my photographs and created an account but doesn’t allow me to log on, with same error message each time I try. Won’t allow me to create another account. Have tried to contact the app developers but have been met with silence other than an automatic email with troubleshooting- which hasn’t fixed the issue. I have deleted the app and wouldn’t advice anyone to download it. If the app developers see this review - please delete my data..Version: 6.34.0

I think this app is abandoned by its creatorsI know some friends who met on this about two years ago but now there only seems to be about twenty women on it and I’d heard there’s quite a bit of catfishing on here now. They’re all too good looking without exception & there’s never anyone new. It’s clear it’s designed to try to make you pay some money but fortunately the lack of activity reveals that this app is now a fake app. Sorry to say, I’m sure it was good once but look at the recent reviews for at least 6 months & you can see the same pattern..Version: 6.8.0

Turned into nagwareThis used to be a great app but the constant attempts to monetise by offering to let me jump the queue ruin the flow. Also, they’ve added a banner at the bottom saying “great, we’ll tell that user you like them”. Information-free nonsense. Reduce the price to something more competitive and perhaps you’d have more users so you wouldn’t have to constantly nag users to upgrade..Version: 7.64.0

CMB has really gone downhillBoston based, I used CMB in 2016, and was really impressed by the number of eligible and interesting men on the app. When I went back to the app in 2018, expecting the same, I was sorely disappointed. The «daily selection » is either empty (« check back tomorrow »), or has one profile. About 50% of the time, the suggested profile is bogus. If I follow up, the guy makes no sense - he’s based in Boston, but his business is in San Diego, his 13 yo daughter is a student at Emerson College. And he makes mistakes in English that make it seem like « he » is actually some random call-center drone based in India. After recommending this app to friends for years, I now can only advise that you stay away. It is a joke. They have call center people posing as candidates looking for a match. Pathetic. (PS - I would have given the lowest stars possible. I tried several times. But the app keeps telling you that your user names is taken (no matter what you propose), as long as the star rating is too low for them. This site has become a total scam!).Version: 5.24.2

Scam artists on the loseI’m not sure if admins are aware that this app is full of scam artists. Guys who are looking for someone to invest in their business or soldiers who are all alone and need support and so on. Where can I report these people? It’s really worrying that some soldiers are dragged into mud and your app is making it happen...I’m sure women are smart enough to see it but still it shouldn’t happen. So far I have spoken to 5 guys all of them are there not for dating purpose....Version: 5.24.2

Do not use this app. Disappointed with the level of supportI subscribed to a premium member and purchased several beans in this app. The app has recently crashed a lot and I have lost the bagels that are matched and have log an issue with the support team. The level of support from the team are non existent. I have been emailing them several time and answering their questions but they are unable to restored the connections..Version: 7.27.0

Scam and garbageZombie profiles, recycled for you to see over and over. Absolute crap..Version: 7.37.0
