Bumble

The admin deleted my perfectly fine picture.fake profiles with liars and narcissists.i put my search range in and that was ignored.then my account was deactivated Show details

My experience with Bumble has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. What initially presents itself as a modern, user-friendly dating platform quickly reveals itself to be heavily restricted unless you are willing to pay. The app aggressively pushes premium features, making it feel nearly unusable without a subscription. Basic… Read more

functionality is locked behind a paywall, which defeats the purpose of a supposedly accessible dating app.

One of the most concerning aspects is the constant emphasis on location tracking. The app requires precise, real-time location access, which I find intrusive and, frankly, unsafe. In an era where privacy and personal security should be prioritized, this level of tracking feels excessive and potentially hazardous. There is little reassurance about how this sensitive data is handled, which only adds to the discomfort.

On top of that, the cost of using Bumble properly is far too high for what it offers. The pricing feels disproportionate to the actual value delivered, especially considering the limitations placed on free users. It creates a frustrating experience where you are repeatedly nudged to upgrade rather than genuinely enjoy the app.

Overall, Bumble comes across as more of a pay-to-play service than a meaningful platform for connection. Between the intrusive location requirements, the steep costs, and the restricted functionality, it fails to provide a safe, accessible, or worthwhile experience.

What a rip-off I was on Bumble a few years ago and didn't have to pay for a subscription, I don't want to pay to meet someone, I have lost so many likes and conversations with men but I'm determined not to pay I can go to the pub and probably meet someone and at least I'll be having a good time but I don't have the confidence to walk in a pub on my own I'm sure you've lost a lot of clients trying to find love, don't join this dating site

Bumble claims it has strong systems to ensure authenticity but there are scammers who have passed the systems. When I reported this I got the usual blah blah about steps they take but it's not working. I paid for a service hoping my details would be more secure but once the have your money they aren't interested Show details

Fantastic App! Found the love of my life! – I went on a few good dates and a few bad ones. I ended up meeting my current partner on Bumble last year and are now talking about starting a family. I tried all the dating apps and Bumble is by far way more superior and the best out there. Thank you Bumble! Show details

Found true love – would like to thank Bumble for finding me the most beautiful ,amazing woman in the world. I will say you may require patience but there is a match out there for everyone. Thanks to good friend Mark for putting me on this site as well. Good luck to everyone and hope you all find your true love just as I did Done Show details

Can't believe am defending a dating app – Really shocked to find such negative reviews on here. Feels like a lot of blame is being placed on the app for things they have little/no control over. I am a 'middle-aged female' looking to date in the hopes of having a relationship. I chose to pay for the premium service, which frankly is waaaayyyyy cheaper & better value-for-money than many of… Read more

its competitors. So far have not encountered any fake profiles. Have encountered PLENTY of men who have swiped right on me based 100% on my cover pic, rather than having read my profile & what I'm interested or not interested in. And the number of middle-aged men wanting FWB/ONS/casual, poly or straight out to cheat on their partners is pretty damn alarming & disheartening. But the app is hardly to blame for that. I like that the power to make first contact is left with the woman; a sad but perhaps not unrealistic or necessary safety feature. As for all the comments re matches being 24 hours, you do know there's the option to extend &/or re-match with someone, right? And if you find profiles devoid of content or any way of getting a sense of someone (which seems to be 80%+ of the male profiles I see), then that's on the profile maker, not the app. /end rant.

One of my female friends committed suicide because of the online sexual harassment she kept getting. Not saying its bumbles fault - its men and society, but it should be better regulated here.

Its a nightmare. Matches, messages ect disappear after 24hrs if you havent replied. Does Bumble actually think that their paying customers have no life and commitments. Surely 72hrs would be more appropriate and user friendly. Show details

I’ve been on Bumble for just over a year. I paid for Premium for 3 months in Jan 2025. I live in a popular Queensland metro area although not as big as Sydney or Melbourne. Initially I had a fairly good number of matches and coffee dates. However, after 6 months the majority of the profiles were ones I had already swiped left on or were well out… Read more

of the location radius I had chosen. Some weeks I didn’t see any new profiles. Hence I was shocked to see the price of Premium has gone up to $79 a month and no new benefits to justify the increase. I don’t trust Bumble any more and don’t recommend it.

Bumble is in the business to make money. They use old profiles that aren’t around any more. They seem to have a lot of phantom members not verified and scammers. I would say they control your messages and want you to pay more money. Online dating is hard enough. I have been doing it for 12 years.

Joined Bumble and paid for a month. Got chatting to two potential dates and then all of a sudden, chat just stopped and I'm getting no more likes, probably because they wanted me to be sucked in to pay more.

Bad website for guys. Lucky if there's 20% females on it. Don't pay money to Bumble ! Been on it for 12 months and lucky for a chat but never been on a date. Cross this site off your list. Show details

This application is horrible, fake people and cold! I have been charged against my will. Even asked a refund when I saw that I have been charged without permission! It also took me a while to get them to find my profile! Also fobd them liars. Do not subscribe they are going to scam you! Be careful Show details

Met a few man, who into sex on the first coffee date or at least second coffee date. Insecure man, that can not make any decisions about where when and what time to meet. All of them have excuses. They not ashamed to use family members for they not show up or cancellations. Fathers in hospital and dying, kids in emergency departments, working all… Read more

the time and having busy meetings even on the days that they choose themselves. No new men appear for two months. Even though website claiming to have several hundred thousands of users. I seen only hundred so far. All of them totally useless and unsuitable even to go on one date?!Another thing is you can not leave a review about liars and female haters. I am not sure why this kind of men on this website anyway?

A scam. My account disappeared and with it quite a bit of money. Emails back and forth from Bumble support wanting more and more complicated information. Obviously making it prohibitively difficult. I have given up on account and money which you could say they have stolen. Really disappointed and angry with bumble Show details

Bumble was great, but, it'll say there are 12 ppl that "liked" you but you cannot see them unless you pay ADDITIONAL MONIES.......don't I already pay $50 per month to have the service and you want EXTRA for me to see who that is?????, there's more....they WANT ppl to be reported because then ppl cannot date for a month , free money.........also be… Read more

careful of men that are "travelling in a van". They are homeless and want a free bed and shower for the night......also men want women to take to "swingers" clubs because men cannot get in by themselves......now I get zero likes????? Does that mean that all bumble members are homeless????

I met few people better then the other apps but terrible. Most matches overweight except one who might have been trying to steal my car...still probably better then other apps Show details

This site uses bots. You pay to send a person a compliment or to connect with someone and that person turns out to be a bot. This is a scam. I have reported this to the ACCC. Show details

Bumble is dishonest. That's a fact. I got banned for no reason. I'm not an abusive person. I've been on many sites over the years without any problems. Then suddenly I'm banned and my subscription cancelled. No reason given. I know i did nothing wrong. Bumble will offer no feedback, no indication of why it banned me, and no refund. I felt humiliated by the experience and would recommend anyone to avoid this site. Show details

Feeling scammed , after all the great advertising of matchmaking success I joined on their premium membership. $99 month. Since joining nearly 3 weeks ago I have only received 3 likes. I’m not Brad Pitt but definitely expected a lot more responses. Why do they over promise and under deliver. I call it a scram , their operations should be far more… Read more

transparent . Highly recommend you don’t waste your money and dreams here, they should be investigated.

Hi. New to dating applications. Bought the Premium +. No access to anything still waiting whilst writing this. Written to their customer service team. No response. Don't recommend. Find a wing man and go out to meet people. This application I feel is overated even though recommend. Show details

literally the worst customer service if you ever need it. they respond once a day, and each time is to ask for more information even though you've already given them all of it. they spend 3 days verifying your information, before they can even begin to help you.

Appears to be a scam. It wasn't free, as had to pay a fee to make conversation. About one or two days after paying $64.99 I was unable to login to the site. Bumble was very fake & didn't help me to get back in & just ignored my email messages. I've read it on many reveiws now, that they take your money which I didn't gety to benifit, then pervented me from loggin in. Also wasn't sent a receipt for the money they took from my card. Show details
