More low life online thieves

More low life online thieves, take unauthorised payments automatically from your account once you have subscribed - unfortunately we now live in a world of internet robbers - these guys no different - beware of these crooks

Really poor all round

Really poor all round, my first and last attempt of stepping into the online world.
Just a cash cow for Bumble, App failed multiple times, emailed the help centre several times. Maybe I shouldn’t have expected a reply to comments, likes, super swipes etc but left me feeling quite lost, even a not interested or thanks but no thanks would go some way.
Thought the female led area would be better but quite frankly have questioned the whole algorithm and app. Bumble has a responsibility to provide a platform that works not just take money and continuously say rewrite your bio, pictures etc.
I was the real me on there and will never be fake but feel they’re many false profiles or the app actually doesn’t work. Do yourself a favour and stay away, save your health and money.
Really poor but hey at least I cancelled my profile and subscription which is the best thing out of the whole experience….

SO BIASED APP!!

The "unmatch" feature is so irritating!! Many girls abuse the unmatch feature and leave in the middle of conversations

BUMBLE HAS BANNED ME BECAUSE IT IS BIASED FOR RACIST WOMEN!

It seems like nothing but a front to get you to sign up for the Premium plan. No seemingly true low-level free service to try it out. A bunch of completely blurred photos with the statement "They liked you. Sign up to see and reply." And at $60+ a month it is far from cheap. Sorry, I'll go elsewhere.

Please do not

Please do not, do not use this dating site. No one on this dating site has been a real person. And One took $30,000 from me. Another took over $100,000 from me and because of him I almost lost my life. He commanded me to "just do it just kill yourself." Two hours of surgery and I'll never use my left hand. No details just almost died because of this website. Do not use it. You will lose your money and you just might lose your life.

Bumble review March-April 2026

I decided to give Bumble a shot recently, and I have to say the app is actually pretty good in a lot of ways. The women are generally attractive, the interface feels modern and easy to use, and I ended up going on a couple of decent dates. The problem for me is that Bumble seems to attract people who are mostly looking for something serious or a real relationship. Almost every match I had wanted to talk about long-term goals pretty early on, and the vibe overall felt pretty relationship-oriented. That’s great if you’re ready to settle down, but I’m currently more interested in keeping things casual and fun with no strings attached.

If you’re in the same boas and just want something light and low-pressure, I’d honestly recommend checking out Yamvoo instead. It’s a lot more relaxed there, the energy is way more hookup-friendly, and you won’t feel like you’re leading anyone on by not wanting anything serious. I’ve had much better luck on Yamvoo when I’m just looking for a good time.

Absolute privacy trap

Absolute privacy trap. Provided my phone number, DOB, and registration timeframe, but they still refuse to delete my data, They rejected SMS and in-app verification to clearly just stalling to keep my info on their servers!!! ​If you value your privacy, stay away. Shady and Deceptive!!!

Discrimination and Hypocrisy

Bumble’s 'inclusivity' is a marketing lie. You claim to build connections, but instead, you build walls based on nationality. Blocking millions of people is blatant DISCRIMINATION and XENOPHOBIA. I am from Russia, and I refuse to support a service that practices such hypocrisy. Shame on your double standards. 1 star.

Don`t waste money

Soon as you shell out for the lifetime membership the matches and likes basically dry up. It's obvious they mess with the algorithm once they've already got your money. Makes sense from their end I guess, no more to squeeze out of you so they shift focus to luring in new customers. Total slap in the face to the people who actually supported them upfront. You'd think they'd treat their best customers well but nope, just the opposite. Don't waste your cash on their top tier nonsense. The second you pay, your experience goes downhill.

After you buy a lifetime membership

After you buy a lifetime membership, the matches and likes become way less. They definitelt change the algo for ones who paid lifetime - no more to milk so they intice others. Instead of rewarding their best customers they screw them over. Dont for their suck ass BS memberships. You know they’ll mess with your algo once you pay for their too tier bs

HORRIBLE PEOPLE , s*xual harassment and bad app

HORRIBLE PEOPLE and bad app. From perspective of woman: First of all the whole concept of this app is wrong, women texting men turning this into a full time job chasing men when some even have fake accounts with fake pictures!. COMPLETELY WRONG. And it’s for the sake of safety? REALLY so why men on website have fake profiles and 95% of them are here for s*x? Sending offers like getting a drink at swing club or called a woman close minded because you refused to go to nudist beach even on the same day as you met person!! or asking to come home for fun WOW!!!I TOTALLY BS, so where is the safety here? Out of 64 men I met only 2 were not mentioning s*xual comments or offering s*xual things, but some men were talking about it even within 6th sentence of conversation?!! So what is the point to have such an EXTENSIVE policy about s*xual harassment that you not scanning conversations and blocking predators profile!!! Aaaa... yes IT’S NOT PROFITABLE. Ladies, if you don’t want to be harassed on daily basis please AVOID THIS APP AS FIRE! And for people who run such an app and company and allow this you are also guilty, and I hope you will experience same thing in your life and I truly wish you all the worts as you are monetising on s*xual harassment. DELETED RUBBISH.

SCAM - Here’s Why.,,.,,,,,

How on earth is this organisation allowed to operate in the UK? It’s an absolute fraudulent operation designed to lure in unsuspecting victims to their fake subscription service.

The two main red flags are:

FACT #1. The vast majority of profiles are fake. Bumble pay people to respond to would be suitors t on make the profile look authentic!!!

FACT #2. Remember before you became a subscriber you were flooded with ‘likes’ and people ‘looking’ at you? Do you also remember that once subscribed these admirer’s suddenly dried up? It’s all part of the scam!

BUMBLE Scumbag Executives you ought to hang your heads in shame. Look forward to seeing Karma play you around like you have played around with thousands of genuine hard working people.

Bumble is an expensive dating site, that is a waste of time, Please How do I know any of these women are real if not verified?. Noboby wants to pay Extra to send any notes? The subscription should cover all your messages to someone you Liked? Very poor service!!!

Frustrating with constant non-related suggestions

The App has a constant need to match you with women miles away and with no similar interests?
I would prefer not to be suggested a profile for someone that lives abroad, but they keep appearing!!
Many people state “I can’t see likes”, what is that all about?
So you have to pay more to see people who like you, and they limit the number of messages you can send and cross your fingers you might get a reply, so that wastes the minimum messages you can send as well!?
It’s very frustrating, but we all continue to review and swipe in the belief someday, Bumble might actually get it right!
