1  darkfluff  · absolute scam that just nickel and dimes you with no services rendered is probably a company in china or India, no morality at all
1  Dean B.  · What of freaking hard earned money$ Give me some matches after i paid for it????
1  Winnie L.  · Charges are enormous! Each like cost $2.64. paid the premium and can't even chat with people. Absolute disaster! Stay away from it!
1  Kenny Wood  · Utterly lousy. I tried to verify my pics and it decided I’m under 18! I’m actually 61. I contacted to complain, no response. It’s trash, don’t use it!
1  MD S.  · A complete waste of time, and so hard to get matches even with great photos. The site has gone down hill a lot and all about the money now.
1  Eddie  · Joined for one month, a few likes not many. Unsubscribed i now have two blurred out likes but I need to subscribe again to see who it is. Sounds scammy to me.

Be wary! Bumble doesn't issue refunds, even if you use the app only 15 days but purchased a subscription for 90 days, they wont issue a refund, and they don't even prorate the days you used the app. They don't even give a reason why they deactivate your account, so some lying person could make things up and report you. Thus, getting your account deactivated, and without a refund of your money, not even prorated. Show details

Downloaded the app. Paid the money. App continually freezes. A terrible experience. Took hours to communicate with prospective dates as the app freezes after typing a few words. Very embarrassing having to explain to prospective dates that you’re having difficulties with the app. Bloody hopeless. No Bumble assistance just an AI bot stonewalling me. I am deeply offended. No refund given. AVOID

They renewed my subscription ($199) without any warning. I immediately asked to cancel and get a refund and they refused, saying its in their terms and conditions. Completely unethical and effectively theft because I don't need, want or use the app, Show details

I’ve reported sexual harassment, men pushing for my personal location, and other offensive behaviour, and Bumble’s response is always the same: “No action will be taken.” It’s honestly no surprise. The moderators are obviously men, because any woman with common sense would know how unsafe this is. This app clearly doesn’t care about women’s safety. Show details

Fake profile – Wish I can give zero start. My photos have been used without my concern and when I made a complained & reported the profile with full details, no one could remove the fake profile. Don’t trust this website and its users. Fake advertising and terrible experience from bumble support team

Beware!! – Terrible dating app, the worst actually. You can never reach a customer rep over the phone. You will only reach a rep through emailing in the app and even when they email back they are totally useless and won't help with anything. Once you pay for the service and you want to cancel you will not get refunded at all which is a scam in my opinion. I… Read more

paid for the premium service and didn’t get the service. Be careful which product you do choose if you use the app because clicking the wrong one may not get you the product you want and even then you ain't getting refunded after the fact if you choose the wrong one and sometimes the product you choose you don't get what you pay for.

Banned without giving me proof of why I was banned! Site is a joke! – Site is a joke!!! I got banned from the site for uploading nudes….i don’t even own a nude of myself!

The site has obviously been hacked and the hacker obtained clones of… Read more

profiles…I do not believe your information is secure and I will be escalating this this further as the site is of absolute no assistance…I bet it’s a generic response!!! Beware of scammers on this site…it is prolific for them- they do not get banned yet innocent people like myself get no explanation and just blocked!

Nearly zero matches - and never given data – Almost zero matches, and for years. I thought I had been 'shadow banned'. I asked staff several times to confirm whether I had been soft banned and to send my data. It's been 2yr+ and they've yet to do either. Pathetic. *Updated* The Bumble… Read more

representative below has failed to give me my data and it took 2yrs to say I'm not shadow banned. Last week's request has not been responded to, nor the one year ago has been fulfilled. Give me my data! DON'T BE LIKE ME AND BUY A LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION!!!

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

 Follow-up  · No idea how bumble shuts down a profile. Ask bumble why they deleted my picture,no reason given. J put in my search range and was given results far beyond my search range which were fake or pointless. Never went back.never got any explanation. A site of fakes and narcissists

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

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.

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.

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
