Bumble For Friends: Meet IRL for Negative User Reviews
✓ Impossible to registerTried numerous times to register by using my phone number but encountered a sluggish verification system that didn’t work. I followed all instructions, it makes no sense why it wouldn’t accept the code, despite it clearly being the one that was sent via text. Gave up in the end. No loss.Version: 5.333.0
✓ Keeps crashingWould be a good app if it let me upload my photos and gave me connections. My settings were set to within 50 miles and I’m in London and I’d just signed up and it still said I’d been through all my possible connections?? It also deleted one of my pics for going against guidelines but I was in a turtleneck silk dress so nothing was showing? And now when I add photos they just don’t show up at all. Terrible.Version: 5.321.0
✓ Won’t upload my photosMakes you upload 2, when I select them it doesn’t work. Closed and reopened app. Can’t get around it nor go back..Version: 5.325.0
✓ DisappointingI spent a while making my profile and then going through other people’s profiles, and then when I went to see the 5 likes I have received, was very sad and disappointed to find that the only way I can see who my potential new friends are is if I pay. And it’s no small amount of money either (min. £5.06 per week!!). So I’m going to delete it now. Very disappointing. I’m sure there are other apps that are either free or much cheaper, go for those instead..Version: 5.317.0
✓ Bumble have no interest in making this a safe space for people genuinely looking for friendshipI have used bumble BFF several times over the last few years and you just have to resign yourself to the fact that especially men are on there to hit on you and make you feel uncomfortable. There is no way of reporting this in the App and when I contacted BFF to ask how I could prevent it, they just didn’t care. The attitude of you just have to ignore it is taking accountability off of BFF to create a safe environment for people to be to make genuine social connections without harassment..Version: 5.357.1
✓ Impossible to use without paying a high feeI have a ton of likes I cannot even see because I refuse to pay $14 per week. They advertise this as a free app but you can only swipe for free. A complete waste of my time. What a joke! Read the other reviews before downloading..Version: 5.328.0
✓ It is showing me only same gender suggestions.Tried a lot of different filters, but it constantly keeps on suggesting only same gender people. Tired of seeing this. Very bad experience..Version: 5.338.0
✓ Not what I expectedLimited people on the app. You have to wait 1 or 2 weeks for a match then when you finally get to talk to the person, they barely respond or they are soooo boring. Honestly, this app and the people on it are disappointing..Version: 5.349.0
✓ Useless without a subscriptionHow are we supposed to make friends if we can’t even see one person that likes you? It’s kinda sad that the app is advertised to make friends, but realistically you can’t see anyone that likes you unless you have a subscription. It’d be nice if you could at least unlock and see at least one match a day or after viewing an add. Guess it’s worth it if you subscribe..Version: 5.324.1
✓ Extortionate price!!!I was so excited by this app, finally a decent way to try and meet people my own in age in my area. I struck up a nice conversation with someone, then on day two the app is telling me people have liked my profile but I need to pay £200 for the privilege!! Get a grip Bumble, we’re in a cost of living crisis..Version: 5.323.0
✓ Not worth your timeThey blocked my account for no reason.Version: 5.330.0
✓ Absolute waste of time!I wouldn’t ever bother downloading this app unless you’ve got money to waste! £20 for one week to see who has swiped your profile to make “friends” alongside that you can’t talk to anyone unless you pay them a ridiculous amount of money to see who has also swiped your account. Absolutely ridiculous..Version: 5.325.0
✓ Selecting Genders to MeetPlease please please let us choose what gender people we get shown rather than limiting it to only people of the same gender. Bumble BFF is the best option for finding local friends but I don’t want to limit myself to just people of the same gender as me. At least give us the choice!.Version: 5.327.0
✓ Can’t Find My LocationNo reason that the app should be struggling to know my location (no VPN, while a strong Wi-Fi and strong 5G network signal). Literally won’t work. Frozen on a searching location screen..Version: 5.328.0
✓ Pay to see your likes?You can’t even see who had liked you without paying and the price is so steep. At least limit to three chat a month before making people pay.Version: 5.328.0
✓ This is awful appWhy would i get an app to just create a profile… Then i have to pay for everything else, i have to pay for who liked me or my profile! And its basically $30 a week! What madness!!!.Version: 5.350.0
✓ Misleading FeaturesThey claim there are free features, but the only things that are free is creating your profile and swiping on others. If you want to know who swiped on you to connect with them, you have to pay $15 a week. It doesn’t make any sense. Immediately deleted this app..Version: 5.330.0
✓ Don’t waste your timeApp is designed well for viewing profiles easily. However, you can’t actually do much unless you pay for premium and it is EXPENSIVE!!!! Outrageously expensive. I had to do a double take. Even the cheapest plan is crazy..Version: 5.328.0
✓ WorthlessThey say free to use and that only a “few features” that are “upgrades” and are not necessary to make a connection is a lie. Do not waste your time..Version: 5.327.0
✓ AwfulThe app is the worst social app I’ve ever seen for meeting new people. It doesn’t allow you to message people at all without paying. If I can’t even send a hello, what is the point of downloading the app?.Version: 5.332.0
✓ What, Can I Not Befriend Men?It works fine. It’s like a dating app for friends, I get it, it has all the features. But why am I just limited to my gender? It literally makes no sense. I’m a girl, but I don’t get to have guys on my feed? So pointless..Version: 5.332.0
✓ Cost prohibitiveThe app works great and plenty of people use it, but good glob is it expensive. $30 is the lowest amount you can spend, and that gets you premium access for a only a week. Premium is the only way to actually see who’s liked you, so the free version isn’t very useful, imo..Version: 5.328.0
✓ SupportI have been locked out of my premium account for 4 days and emailed support many times but they do not respond back. This is useless..Version: 5.327.0
✓ Too expensiveGreat concept. Insanely expensive. Downloaded it and after realising the cost (£10/w to £200 for permanent access) deleted it. Such a shame..Version: 5.317.0
✓ AwfulRidiculous app. Didn’t show me any profiles, even when I changed settings to find people. I deleted my account. Bumble doesn’t deserve any stars, but you have to give them at least one to write a review. Don’t waste your time with this con app.Version: 5.318.0
✓ Overpriced and not easy to use.Despite what the person who is responding to reviews says, you cannot use this app without paying. I swiped on a couple of girls I liked and went to see who o matched with but it says “upgrade to premium to see who liked you” then it says “upgrade to premium to send a message” so no, it is not completely free to use. The only thing you can do is swipe and like 5 people before it says to upgrade. If that is a bug you guys are working on then say that, but to keep replying that it’s completely free is just misleading. There literally no point to use the app if you do not want to pay for premium..Version: 5.326.0
✓ DisappointedI find it really silly that you have to pay to see your likes, all you can basically do is swipe unless you decide to pay £5 for subscription, it doesn’t even give you the chance do a free trial. Deleted my account right after making it.Version: 5.330.0
✓ Was good till it wasn’tUnfortunately even if you pay for priumum it Doesn’t always work! Just paid for the month and a week one and yet neither work but the money is out of my account though :-/ very disappointed.Version: 5.335.0
✓ Wasted potential.Such a great concept and I was so excited to use it. Unfortunately there were too many 🚩 1) I get that it is a paid app, but you can do basically NOTHING without paying. 2) I actually wouldn’t mind subscribing at a cost, but this particular cost is extortionate. All pricing options are ridiculous..Version: 5.323.0
✓ Why doeJust downloaded and it’s cool so far. Only thing is you only get like 15 swipes maybe less, then it says please match diligently, I don’t discriminate or judge, I’m looking for friends so I’ll very very rarely swipe left. So I ran out of swipes. When does it reload it doesn’t tell you. And to get more swipes is also expensive more expensive than dating app premiums..Version: 5.328.0
✓ Pointless appYou can’t see who wants to be friends unless you pay for a premium subscription which seems pointless. £21 for 1 week! Absolutely ridiculous. deleted the app.Version: 5.323.0
✓ TerribleCan’t access hives in this app, and blocks acces in the regular app..Version: 5.330.0
✓ Too expensiveI can’t justify paying $$$ to “potentially “ meet friends who aren’t even local. Now if the price was lower, or a free version with ads I’d be more inclined to give it a shot but until then, no thanks..Version: 5.328.0
✓ PointlessApp is completely consumed by men from the dating side who realized most women moved to the BFF side.. these males are still using it as a dating app and theres no option to filter to females only. 9/10 women i swipe by have “no men” in their bios!!!!! myself being one of them after several bad experiences of men lying about their intentions. men do not look for friendships with women. they see it as an opportunity to pretend to be a cool, nice guy until you meet up with them and they try to sleep with you. generally getting extremely aggressive when you reject them. even if you tell them 25 times before hand that you’re only looking for platonic friendships. This app is dangerous for women. removing the Hive feature was the dumbest move ever made. The “event” thing they have now is boring as hell. I had 3 amazing hives with 90+ girls in each for going out to clubs and bars. now i cant talk to any of them or ever make plans to go out because all the nightclub events on the new BFF are just guys. so stupid.Version: 5.342.0
✓ DittoThe same comments as previous bad reviews… spent ages forming my profile and swiping. But it seems to access anything of worth i have to pay. I’m not in a position to be able to do that so am left feeling just as lonely as before. An app like this should be affordable ~ or even free when you consider it’s purpose is to connect people who are often feeling isolated or disconnected. Just another barrier in the way of modern day living.Version: 5.324.1
✓ Bumble Support is a nightmareI’ve tried six times to report a bug that inhibits me from using the main function of the app and not once have they fully read my messages. I WANT to use this app but I can’t lol.Version: 5.330.0
✓ Filter selectionsThere should a be a filter to be able to look for the opposite gender when your not looking to date..Version: 5.324.1
✓ Deleted my profileSigned up less than an hour ago - completed my profile/bio, added photos, verified my email address. Just opened the app to do some swiping, and it seems my account has been deleted as it’s asking me to sign up (and no option to sign in to an existing account)! Waste of time🙄..Version: 5.342.0
✓ Nothing is loadingApp isn’t loading anything. I wish u guys just kept it how it was before.Version: 5.321.0
✓ App bugsCan’t make account thinks my gb phone no. isn’t real.Version: 5.340.0
✓ LET US CHOOSE A LOCATIONI cannot use this app until y’all let us choose a fixed location!! I am not trying to make friends in every city I travel to! I want to make friends in a local area and when I travel outside of that area, it’s ASININE that I’m now unable to connect with people in my home base until I return..Version: 5.325.0
✓ You get barely any free swipesI swear I swiped right on only 5 to 10 people when I first got the app before it told me I was out of likes within a few minutes. Okay, I wait 12 hours or so and open the app again, thinking I’ll have more likes. I swipe right on TWO PEOPLE and tells me I’m out of likes again..?? Nearly impossible to find matches with this extremely limited amount of swipes.Version: 5.330.0
✓ Cost is disappointingThe cost of 6 months premium is outrageous and not having premium is a hassle. The moment I saw the cost I deleted the app. I wouldn’t pay $170.00 for a year. In these hard times when we need to be making more connections and healing after Covid it’s sad to see this..Version: 5.340.0
✓ Great Concept, not so great executionI love the concept of this app, and I’ve started a few conversations, enough to recommend it to others. Yet despite having the same filter settings, we don’t even see the same people. Also the fact you can’t see whom you liked without paying or who liked you without paying is ridiculous. It’s overpriced on any paid features and limited on the free ones Needs improvement. As well, it’s creepy men are showing up in the filters when you’ve set to women only for friends. This needs fixing ASAP..Version: 5.342.0
✓ Make an under 18 versionLiterally i have no friends LMAO make one for younger people or let us have friends.Version: 5.340.0
✓ No sms verificationCan’t even receive sms for registration ( +1).Version: 5.352.1
✓ Please reduce the Premium Price as it's ridiculously pricedI love the app and how it helps me to find friends who share the same interests etc... I cant even see the people who liked my profile. There should be perfect line drawn what you can do in free app and what not. In free version you literally get nothing!! To view the people who liked your profile could be in free version imo. Maybe set a limit per month for the free version and unlimited view could be premium?Or atleast have a trail period for premium please? The premium for a month is £44 that shows per week £10 - I dont know why it shows for a week when you have to pay for entire month?Thats also very expensive imo, its more than the number of days in a month lol.. As a trail period, £10 a week maybe would be helpful or if the £44 for entire month is drastically reduced to less than 20 or 15 - is ok-ish? If you still want to make it expensive atleast bring in "types of premium" subscriptions maybe? The app is such a brilliant idea just the pricing is something stopping me to use the app for someone who is ready to do the subscription yet its very extremely expensive!.Version: 5.319.0
✓ Unable to upload photosDownloaded it to try out bumble bff and wasn’t able to upload photos, it seems there is a temporary glitch.Version: 5.342.0
✓ Seems like a cool ideaIt seems like a cool idea to find friends, but $60 a month is a little too out of my price range. I’m going to have to pass on this one..Version: 5.325.0
✓ :/Made an account to make friends, it’s so frustrating you can’t see the likes unless you pay. There should at least be a free trial..Version: 5.336.0
✓ Can’t even make an accountPut my phone number in and it just says “loading your profile” “you look great” and doesn’t take me anywhere. I don’t even have a profile I’ve never created one because it just gives me a code and stays on the loading screen. Great way to make friends..Version: 5.352.1
✓ PoorCreated an account and logged in - started using it and then it threw me out the account; no option to sign back in, it wants me to create a new account? Tried to and it says my email address is linked to the account I was using but doesn’t let me log in my account? Pointless.Version: 5.327.0
✓ MehIt’s a great idea but absolutely ridiculous in the way it’s executed. You have to pay crazy amounts just to be able to function with it basically, your likes are even LIMITED unless you PAY and you can barely put enough information about you! Bumble team should be ashamed of themselves. Imagine saying you are trying to help people but then manipulating the whole process for money!.Version: 5.321.0
✓ Let me be friends with girlsI think its weird that it is locked to your own gender.Version: 5.328.0
✓ Doesn’t work well :(Some weird bug that won’t allow me to save my interests after adding them. Is only allowing me to view other non-binary people even though I’d prefer to make friends with people of all genders—I can’t find a “gender” in preferences so I don’t think it’s an issue on my end. I’m in a big city and have the filters set to the broadest possible ranges but I’ve somehow swiped through everyone in a couple minutes. It’s not really helping me make new friends :(.Version: 5.324.1
✓ Keep getting told 18 overHi so I am 19 years old and everytime I put in my details I keep getting kicked out because it claims I’m not over 18 years old. How do I fix this. (Is also the same for normal bumble) Thanks in Advance.Version: 5.338.0
✓ Feels very restrictiveI don't understand why they limit our profiles to 5 interests, 3 questions about ourselves, a tiny bio, and a few pictures. We're not babies, we can decide for ourselves what will make our profile look too cluttered or not. i'm sorry whoever designed this is lacking personality, but most ppl have more than 5 interests. and the timer? Please. What if someone has a busy work day? I don't see how the app is benefiting from rushing us..Version: 5.330.0
✓ GarbageBumble is living in the 1930s and have decided that everyone must be segregated based on their gender. This time they have helpfully allowed you to configure your gender in great detail so that they can make sure they reduce the number of people you see as close to zero as possible. This stupidity is not just reserved for those with a traditional male/female gender, it’s also for non binary. Bumble genuinely believe that if you are non binary you can only be friends with other non binary people. At this point I wish they would take their abhorrent beliefs and leave the App Store, or perhaps be thrown off it by Apple. Taking up space and drawing people into a garbage app like this serves no one but the incredibly greedy and sexist developers..Version: 5.319.0
✓ Super expensiveNot enough likes in a day. They almost force you to spend 29.99$ a week just to be able to talk to someone which is ridiculous..Version: 5.325.0
✓ Can’t create accountWhatever method I tried, it wanted me to verify my phone number but never sent me a code. I would have liked to try this app but I couldn’t even sign up..Version: 5.342.0
✓ :(It won’t even let u see who liked you or wants to msg you if you don’t pay :/.Version: 5.328.0
✓ Weird appSo bumble you didn’t allow my prior review to go through huh? Well folks bumble is a racist yes racist scam site that lets its clearly bias algorithms determine how often your profile is shown to other potential friend ‘matches’. Fraudulent and should be taken off the App Store. Won’t be renewing premium ever again!.Version: 5.350.0
✓ Not inclusiveI love the idea of this app but I can’t get past the name. It won’t allow me to use my preferred name which is only one letter. I don’t understand this especially when you have to verify that you’re a real person..Version: 5.328.0
✓ You have to pay to see who matched with you…If you and another person match then you can begin a conversation, but if you don’t match you have to pay to unlock the feature where you see who befriended you. And it’s kind of expensive. Not too happy with the first go..Version: 5.328.0
✓ I can’t log inIt’s not letting me in. I’ve tried various options to get into my account; Facebook, phone, Apple ID. All of which are connected to the account. But it keeps glitching..Version: 5.334.0
✓ App doesn’t work 😂The app doesn’t even work..Version: 5.352.1
✓ Great idea but you can’t see who likes youYou can’t see ur matches unless you pay $40 a month… that’s insane.Version: 5.332.0
✓ AnnoyingI’m gay and typically get along easier with women over men but I can’t talk to any because the app only allows you to talk to people of the same gender. Can you fix this please..Version: 5.351.0
✓ They’ve done it…They have monetized friendship. Absolutely ridiculous. Signed up thinking, hey new in town would be good to meet others since it’s so difficult anymore. Oh hey, I got a like! Great I’ll reach out… App: so in order to even speak to someone with whom you share a basic common interest you have to pay $29 a week or $119 for six months. Deleted my account. WTAF?.Version: 5.325.0
✓ Safety Concerns!Love the concept but it's ridiculously expensive to join as premium member so accessing potential friend matches is virtually impossible, but my main concern is from a safety perspective. There's no option to tweak the location you're actually in. As I live in a small village, to stay safe online I always input my location with the nearest large town to me (less than 4 miles away) but the app automatically gives your actual geographical location and living in such a small place that potentially opens me up to danger - there are weirdos out there!!! I contacted Bumble about this but have yet to receive a response. I really hope they sort this out. With regards to the pricing - come on Bumble guys - after covid many of us are still struggling with feelings of loneliness and have become isolated. BFF is a really useful tool to connect with people and could potentially help alleviate the mental health crisis the pandemic largely created. It's been a tough few years with many losing their jobs and loads of us are struggling in the current economic climate -would it really hurt you that much to lower the price and make it more affordable for people? Why not team up with a couple of mental health charities and offer some free or discounted memberships? Do some good....Version: 5.317.0
✓ Non existent customer supportI’ve been trying since this app came out to get my subscription connected to both Bumble and BFF, through social media and the website contact form, several times. Not one response. Will be canceling my subscription for good because of poor customer service, not worth the money..Version: 5.330.0
✓ The app is underwhelmingI’m not really sure what the differences are between this and the regular Bumble but I am not impressed. My biggest pain point is that the chats section doesn’t say which chats are your turn or their turn to send a message? I keep forgetting to respond to messages because I thought it was the other persons turn….. this is really annoying. Also the app keeps showing the same people although I have already X’ed them out..Version: 5.333.0
✓ Doesn’t allow you to use BFF anymore.When you originally set up if you attach your bumble bff account it says you will no longer be able to use your bff account. Sooooo? You want me to pay two memberships? Nah I’m good..Version: 5.326.0
✓ Anyone can be a friendApp seems like a great idea in concept, but it’s puzzling why you can only match with the same gender. It seems that the intention is to separate it from being a dating platform, but aren’t swipes mutual? Why not permit people to opt in/out of who they’re seeking as friends or who their profile shows for?.Version: 5.327.0
✓ Locked into the same gender only?The ability it only make friends with people of the same gender as you is pretty limiting for queer people like me. I get the idea behind limiting things like this but it doesn't work for this demographic. Kind of a useless app for me.Version: 5.328.0
✓ RubbishI’ve struggled to get verified using my photos. It just won’t recognise me even though the photos have no makeup. And now I’ve no access to my account. The customer service is rubbish as they don’t respond to messages asking for help. I totally hate this app mainly because they don’t support their users. I was really looking forward to making some friends here..Version: 5.321.0
✓ Bring back SpotifyBring back Spotify option!!! It was the biggest conversation starter and now it’s gone😡😡😡😡 It was there on the normal bumble app when using bff mode but when stitched to the actual bff app it’s gone?.Version: 5.333.0
✓ Why is it so expensive?Made my profile, app seems ok as in no bugs or glitches so far. But oh my god the price! How can anyone justify spending £5 or whatever a week on this? That’s more than most normal subscription services!.Version: 5.323.0
✓ App won’t loadThis app is just stuck on the loading screen after I verify my phone number.Version: 5.321.0
✓ Premium?!Upgraded to premium, approved, paid etc. No premium features provided. App has not registered the purchase. Money deducted from account. Would give sub-zero stars for this robbery!.Version: 5.339.0
✓ Only shows you people of the same genderThe app itself functions fine, I just don’t understand why I’m exclusively shown men. I understand that it’s not to ‘date’ but surely you should still be able to talk to other genders.Version: 5.317.0
✓ You have to make 1st move or pay.You can’t see who “likes you” / wants to hang / be your friend unless you pay. Otherwise you have to always make the “first move” on the friendship. Will probably delete because of the stress this causes me even though I want to make friends..Version: 5.332.0
✓ Banned??I just was on this app the other day where I created my account and of course added my profile pictures. Well I hopped off for the night and went back on only to find out they took off my photos for “being against the guidelines” yet it was just a simple face photo. NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AT ALL. I even double checked the guidelines because I tried again only for once again a quick moment later it was removed again. On top of it I am unable to respond to anyone now or match with anyone?? Come on over a face photo that was acceptable. I reached out to bumble on Instagram and Twitter but highly doubt I will hear from them since people haven’t heard from them in months..Version: 5.327.0
✓ Waaaaay too overpricedI downloaded this for someone to help them make new friends that share their interests and when I was signing them up I seen there might be some charges for things, fair enough but wow…who comes up with these prices?! I’ve seen all the responses to the reviews pretty much saying the same as me, and tbh their is no justification for it! As people rightly say, there is a cost of living crisis atm people can’t afford these silly prices! I bet there are free versions with ads or low subscription costs but the cost of this app is atrocious and should be ashamed to even post it! Don’t bother with your robotic reply I won’t be reading it and doubt any others will too as it’s all the same generic garbage! Update to response: yes it may well be optional to sign up for the full features but let’s be honest the free version is VERY limited and your premiums are beyond expensive! £200 c’mon….Version: 5.325.0
✓ BlockedI got this app to find friends in my area, although I did match with a few people when I tried to log back on, it said that I had been reported in my account was permanently blocked. i’m not sure why someone reported me, but obviously the app did not do their research before choosing to block me. I had no pictures on there, except for a couple pictures of me where I was fully clothed and a picture of my dog. In my bio all I said was where I was from and that I was looking for friends to hang out with. I think the app is a great idea but people getting blocked from the app just because someone reported them without the app doing their research, Kind of makes it pointless because that means someone can go through and report everyone they swipe on and there will be no one left on the app..Version: 5.327.0
✓ Useless!I paid almost $20 to get ignored by everyone. This app is not legit. I want my money back!!!! I don’t need this!! Doesn’t even work!!.Version: 5.340.0
✓ Can’t try with incognito unless I pay unknown amountI wanted to try it out in incognito mode but that would require upgrade. Minimum upgrade is £22 but not sure if incognito is in that deal or would cost more still. I guess I’m not confident or desperate enough to buy before I try. I understand you can use it for free now that I got feedback from developer. Initially it appeared you could not use it for free because when doing set up you click on something that would cost money and it appears to the new user that you have now hit a paywall whereas it’s just a pay for option you don’t have to have..Version: 5.325.0
✓ Very bad experience 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼Use bumble bff if you wanna ruin your mental health and feel even lonelier! Be ghosted more than anytime in your whole life. Meet a lot of people in your city who cannot commit even to replying messages. Good luck!!.Version: 5.349.0
✓ Horrible app, unless you pay for friendsYou basically can't see anyone whos swiped you unless you pay $14 a week🤩🤩🤩 amazing wowwwww don't get this app you're not making any friends off of it..Version: 5.328.0
✓ Worst app to find a friendWorst app to find a friend WOULD NOT RECOMMEND!!!.Version: 5.341.0
✓ Couldn’t even get the app to loadCan’t really review it because I couldn’t use it. Every time I tried it just got stuck on the loading screen. I’ll stick to the bff part on the original app.Version: 5.339.0
✓ Cancelled still chargingDont use it , didnt use it trialled then dellected cancelled it still charged.Version: 5.342.0
✓ Strict enough?I upload photos of me with either my partner or my pets. Yet it’s violating your “rules”, I don’t go flashing my body off or anything like that. And I’m definitely over 18. Plus I don’t want men to match with me when I’m trying to look for friends of the same gender as me..Version: 5.350.0
✓ Apps like these should be prohibitedYou have to pay to see matches and you can’t chat without seeing matches and so what is the point of calling this app free? I emailed to ask this and after 5 days I have received no response..Version: 5.330.0
✓ App keep crashingCrashingas soon as I try to text someone new.Version: 5.346.0
✓ Can’t access hivesBut it’s not allowing me to access the hives.Version: 5.322.0
✓ Limited # of swipes??You only have a limited number of swipes before they want you to pay. It’s almost $60 a month to use features that should be free. Ridiculous.Version: 5.338.0
✓ Almost there… (would you look at that, more greed)So close to being fabulous. Have a lot to say but when it comes down to the quick and dirty : Bumble for Pete’s sake why charge such a high prices? Basic feature like “undo” when accidentally swiping left Vs right, there is not a single option to undo (even when trying it out the first day) without being behind a $20 for ONE WEEK to $80 for 6m pay wall. Come on bumble? People are lonely during a recession with inflation and this is the options you give? More greed. No under $10 trial period is so lame. Like you were so close… I would be so happy to pay a reasonable price for an app like this, but to be so stingy to not even allow us to TEST the features before paying SUCH prices? Come on now. 8.6 billion dollar company needs $20/wk before you can even test a basic feature. Give me a break. (Oh and to boot, went to the contact us page on their website to avoid leaving this review, to give them a polite and decent chance to hear from the people - and “this page is not available” was the contact us page. Nice.).Version: 5.331.0
✓ FlopThe concept of the app is amazing. However, hardly anything can be done unless I pay for premium! It’s such a let down. Starting conversations shouldn’t be a premium feature, it defeats the whole purpose of the app!.Version: 5.323.0
✓ Such a shameI was so excited to make new friends, spent AGES on my profile then only to discover as soon as I want to see who has ‘liked’ it or engage with anyone in ANY way I have to pay - and it’s £200?!! So all I can do on the free version is have a profile that won’t actually serve me in any way? Such a disappointment and an extortionate price point. Capitalising on loneliness is a low move I can’t believe you can’t make it any more affordable. Advice to anyone downloading - it has zero friend making functionality if you don’t pay, so I wouldn’t bother, there must be something more realistically priced out there..Version: 5.318.0
✓ It works but overpricedI used it and it works to find people to befriend but you can’t match with anyone unless you pay for the subscription and of course it’s super overpriced..Version: 5.328.0
✓ Too restrictiveWould be a great app if it wasn’t so expensive and if all useful feature wasn’t exclusive to the membership. You can only select a few interests..Version: 5.325.0
✓ Awesome concept but has flawsI’ve been waiting for an app like this for awhile that people in my area actually use, which so far, they have! It’s been so fun meeting new people on here but there’s a lot of limitations on the interest buttons and how many swipes you can get. There should be another option to get more swipes other than the very high priced premium :( I hope there’s new updates coming soon because this is an awesome app that is much needed for college aged adults!.Version: 5.333.0
✓ Doesn’t even open!Got it suggested to try, but can’t even open the app to create an account! Even after letting it load for a while, closing it and reopening it, then eventually deleting it again and reinstalling! Still nothing so deleted again, so disappointed :(.Version: 5.350.0
✓ Better vetting processIt’s not Bumbles fault , but a lot of men on the bff feature are here trying to get s*x. I recently matched with a married guy (married to a woman) , as we’re talking he then tells me he’s bi. Eventually he says he’s lookin to get physical with a guy as he’s never done that. I then clearly stated that I am JUST here for friendship and nothing else (I’m also in a relationship). I told him cheating isn’t cool and he shouldn’t step out on his wife, I was then blocked/unmatched. It bothers me that men are here for bad intentions when there are countless other apps/services that provide that. BFF should make it clear to new users that this is just for friendship connections, and also users should be able to report other users in cases like these (in appropriate circumstances) and that accoun should be banned (temporarily or permanently). Giving it 2 stars because I’ve had numerous interactions similar to this and makes me uncomfortable.Version: 5.350.0
✓ A lot to improveThere are many things wrong with this app. 1. As a lot of people have pointed out, the prices are excessive and completely unaffordable. I personally have been okay using the free version in the past but it is frustrating if I accidentally swiped left on someone I would have loved to connect with but it the cost is far too high that I would even consider paying to go back. The same applies to “travelling” in the app. It would be great to meet people who are open and willing to friends from all around the world but it is not realistic with the prices. 2. Only being able to connect with your specific gender is bad for a range of reasons. A model where you can choose who NOT to see is much better for those not wanting to limit their connections. I often have to put my gender as woman even though I feel more comfortable with non-binary as there aren’t as many people who have their gender set as that. This makes me uncomfortable. It also is very telling of Bumble’s lack of understanding and their simplification of gender and how it should be neatly separated in 3 categories when things aren’t so strict these days. Multiple people have been bringing this up for a long time and I strongly think this should be revised ASAP. It is understandable when BFF was included in the overall Bumble app but since it has been removed and now is a separate app there is no excuse to not allow this to be something better that does not need to follow the exact same pattern as before. 3. For some reason it is showing nobody to match with even though I am currently in Madrid which previously had a lot of people on the original Bumble app and have all my settings set to max and gender set to woman. I love the concept but it is becoming harder and harder to be interested in using this app. My second point really impacts my experience the most and I would even consider using it again and recommend it to others if this was changed despite high prices. Please do something about this, good friendship apps are few and far between and there is no good reason to not change this..Version: 5.323.0
✓ Not accessibleThis app for friends as well as the dating app are not accessible for people using text to speech, such as voiceover for Apple. When you make things inaccessible, you leave people lonely..Version: 5.328.0
✓ Premium to chat with friendsI find that the “Premium to see who likes you/to chat” is kind of limiting. Like if there’s someone who swiped for me, why can’t I chat with them to start the friendship? I have to get premium for that? I feel like that’s kind of limiting and unnecessary, especially if that person could become a potential friend..Version: 5.331.0
✓ ExpensiveAs everyone else says - good app in principle but way too expensive to actually use it and no way to see who has liked you in free version, not even one. I can’t justify spending this much on an app with how much the cost of living is right now. Shame ☹️.Version: 5.321.0
