CHANGING THE RULES OF THE GAME
Finding relationships online isn’t embarrassing anymore. Bumble has lifted the stigma of online dating by employing robust reporting and setting unprecedented standards for respectful behaviour.
The app has also successfully shaken up traditional gender roles in heteronormative dating. On Bumble, ladies always talk first. Bumble is also the first of its kind to bring friend-finding to social networking. Now you can swipe through potential dates and friends on the same platform.
In heterosexual matches, the woman has 24 hours to make the first move and the man has 24 hours to respond. In same sex matches, either person has 24 hours to make the first move and 24 hours to respond or the connection expires. Prompting conversation has lead Bumble to the highest post match chat rate in the industry.

Needs improvement I would like to have more options to refine the search. Also the match shouldn't be limited to 24 hours, you have to give guys a chance and it should be 48 hours. There should be a favorite section where you can save the matches for 48 hours or longer. I thought this was supposed to be a Free app but you are like others asking for more money, when you need to use other features. Update - it keeps asking me to update before using the app and no update option is available.

Women contact the guys first and that is a great concept. I dont have to waste time working on funny and individual catered emails that go unanswered now. women are heavely photoshoped to the point of it being obvious. Most of those are very pretty women too... not sure what that is about... not met anyone as of yet and its been a few months.
App is quite effective! I've matched with heaps of hot women from day one. And yes, they actually write you & reply. Works best in a big city with almost endless opportunities to match. However, outside a city you will run out of cards quickly. I would give a 5 star if the app didn't glitch so often and have so many bugs.

An attraction app without all the bugs This app is basically a tinder clone, but with a few twists. I think the twists are smart and work, but why I'm writing this review is because of the app itself. Tinder on Android is terrible. It crashes almost every time I open it. Message notifications never work, and it's location reporting is often way wrong. I've only used bumble for a few days, but it's clearly a stable build.

Excellent app. A few bugs. Love using it, less creepy user base than tinder. Often says there's nobody nearby, but also that I have 56+ (whatever number) unseen matches. Some bugs using the chat feature on my old HTC but fine on my Samsung.
Henrique Rocha
No matches and ran out of people Since I ran out of people and only got two matches I suppose they want to "force" me to pay for the Boost to see who has already liked me. Sounds like an obvious business strategy. I will probably uninstall in a couple of weeks.

Hey there! If you need some assistance with your profile, please contact the beehive using your feedback button in the settings menu on Bumble. The clever bees will take a look at this for you! No matches in 6 months. I've had this app for a while now and I swipe almost daily. At first I ran into an issue where no matter how many women I swiped right on it never matched me with any of them. I sought help through tech support and they advised me to uninstall and reinstall the app which worked for a while and I matched with two people. Now it's been 6 months, I've reinstalled the app about 3 times and I haven't had a single new match. Either the app doesn't work or I am one seriously ugly dude.

We know you're probably busy, so we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback! Your opinion matters to us, so rest assured that all user feedback is reviewed and contributes towards future updates. Good but something is not right As you can see in multiple comments there is a theme of not getting matched with anyone. Idk whats the deal but something isnt right. Idk if they want me to pay or what.. i went through over 200 individuals and not a single match.. i mean im not brad pitt but really?
Guys still mute I like the concept but seems that guys still won't message back even after a match & making the first move. I think half of the guys on dating apps just want their ego's boosted or a casual hookup. Any female wanting more seems to scare them off.
Almost perfect This app sorely needs a belief section where the cards are sorted by that and not just age. I'm religious and this app just means a whole lot of swiping, needlessly. I love it's simplicity but that kills it! That is just a fundamental setting I don't understand why it's not there, like come on. I have ended up just liking every girl because it takes too much freaken time to sort through. Face palm into cereal bowl to cool off my eye balls from beautiful women, that I'd never date! Bahumbug I say!
Great concept! I understand that for women it can be pretty difficult on other websites with creepy guys flooding their inbox weird and pervy messages. This app should help minimize that as the woman chooses who can and cannot talk to her. I hope I'm able to meet a really nice woman with this app.
Its ok.... It seems everyone is only out for one thing, well sex is not everything. Whatever happened to good old fashion dating, it's not only for married people. And why does this website want us to pay to get more.
Finding your matches is a chore i am a woman on this app living in a city of over a million people. your apps gimmick is women message guys first but i am not paying for the feature to see my matches first before everyone i havent matched with. your entire thing centers around women but you havent offered much reason to stay. i end up rarely using the damn app cos i cant find anyone to talk to and like EVEN CRUMMY POF LETS ME SEE WHO SWIPED ON ME. this is how gimmicky apps die. youre not keeping your female userbase u depend on this way
Cool app If you are not on here every day, you miss opportunities. I like that girls reach out first. But if you are a girl and have a problem with that, then this is not for you. Don't be shy. Life is too short and there is too much fun to be had!
Bumble stole my money Paid for three month subscription. Worked for three days. Stopped working. Contacted bumble three times. No response. Updated august 22 and Sept 9 and still no response. Oct 2 today....still nothing. Update November 13....still nothing. No emails from bumble at all
Bumble Holding Limited November 13, 2016
Please try emailing them again, and keep an eye on your junk, spam and social folders. Also, make sure that you are contacting them from an email they can reply to! Broken It doesn't work, I've been swiping right for 4 days now and have yet to match with anyone. Will give 5 stars if they fix this issue.

No longer respecting distance settings Seems like higher quality people than tinder, but the app can take quite a while to load up and recent stopped obeying the distance requirements I had set.

Hey there! If you believe there may be a technical error with your profile, please contact the beehive using your feedback button in the settings menu on Bumble. The clever bees will take a look at this for you! Great idea for modern dating. As far as MA is concerned, there's barely any diversity in women. The idea of using this thing to specifically find "bffs" seems real dumb. Maybe making the app more appealing to women of color.
Worst dating app Do NOT use until they fix their tech issues. It will freeze up your phone. And they will restrict access if you make a complaint.

Hey there! If you believe there may be a technical error with your profile, please contact the beehive using your feedback button in the settings menu on Bumble. The clever bees will take a look at this for you! The concept is great, but the app has some annoying bugs. Because women must message first, you know there's already a bit of "buy in" compared to other dating services. Some of the bugs are frustrating. I frequently get "something went wrong" messages, especially when returning to the application after not using it for awhile. It also duplicates matches in my conversation list, which makes the list confusing to scroll through.
Seriously?! Only option given is to force you into creating an account with Facebook just to register with this app. No thank you I dont want to have two apps to use one. Resource hog!
Bumble Holding Limited November 24, 2016
Hey there! Sorry to see that you're not able to sign in with Facebook. Unfortunately, this is the only option to sign in at the moment. However, we're currently working on new ways to sign in/register. Hope to see you in the hive soon! Good app, but heavy battery use Better than tinder, but don't use unless you have your charger handy. Used to go 20+ hours without charging, lucky to get 10 now.
Writing First The app is generally horrible, although I like the concept. Also, you should really make it clear to people that they have to write first or else nothing happens. I have a feeling that many are simply not aware of this.

We know you're probably busy, so we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback! Your opinion matters to us, so rest assured that all user feedback is reviewed and contributes towards future updates. I want to like this app There seems to be more classy women on bumble .... And there are no bots like there are on tinder. Unfortunately there are less profiles overall. The worst part is that this app doesn't even work anymore .... I can't even log in. I have the Google Pixel with Android 7.1
New version. Same old scam New version still upholds the same crap as before. Prioritizing paying users, withholding matches for none subscriber's. Just tinder all over again nothing much sets them aside anymore. Scamming BS. A friend and I did an experiment by making a profile with pictures of a good looking gentleman and well written profile, swiped right on 100+ profiles and had 3 matches within 48-72 hours. This app is a crock.

Hey there! If you need some assistance with your profile, please contact the beehive using your feedback button in the settings menu on Bumble. The clever bees will take a look at this for you! Empowering! I really like that I get to message first. Far fewer unwanted messages and, even if it's not a complete match, far nicer and more cordial conversations for the most part. I gave it 4 stars cause I'd love to see a "what I'm looking for" feature. Thanks so much for making an app that sucks less and gives me more power. You go, Team Bumble!
Pretty boring. I've open conversation with everyone I was matched with and none 0 have replied. Like what are the chances??? And I've cancelled my subscription. Once the month is done I'm deleting the account.

We know you're probably busy, so we really appreciate you taking the time to leave us feedback! Your opinion matters to us, so rest assured that all user feedback is reviewed and contributes towards future updates. Omg.. 90%+ fake profiles. Put there BY the company itself!! Lol. It's all a huge lie This is a joke. All the profiles are complete fakes..consider: NO fat chicks, NO ugly chicks, NO bad photos, NO bad self-descriptions! this is at LEAST 95% true for all profiles. As a test, I swiped right on 1000 profiles in a row!..ZERO matches..Lol. I've some insanely beautiful gf's in my past, so I'm pretty sure I'm not an ugly pig. This app is a crooked fake joke. Stay Away! 2 stars for nice interface though. Oh, and look at the b.s. response they sent me below 😉 Lol. Kinda makes my point,

Thank you for your review.
We have acknowledged your query and we will get back to you soon.
Thank you for your patience. Disappointed The way this app was designed is a huge disappointment. I was chatting with this guy, and I accidentally swiped left on the conversation so the app unmatched the both of us and there is no way I can retrieve the conversation! the Undo button that appears at the bottom for less than 3seconds does not help at all!!! You should think of getting rid of this function...truly disappointed

Your opinion matters to us, so rest assured that all user feedback is reviewed and contributes towards future updates. One swipe quick unmatch is a bad feature. Who came up with the quick unmatch in one swipe? Found out about this one the hard way. What a stupid feature. Wasn't quick enough to hit the undo button that pops up for an instant.

Thank you for your review.

Thank you for your patience. Decent Sometimes I wanna have a conversation. Seems really pointless if the matches are made and women state in their profile that "they expect the men to make the first move". Seems pretty backwards
Waste of time So, you're basing an app on the idea that women will take the first step? When historically and socially it's not the norm?! Good. Luck. With. That.
Bumble Holding Limited November 22, 2016
We've designed Bumble to correct a common problem on dating apps! Make your profile as interesting as possible to help guarantee that first message. Men are also able to extend a match with one female a day - use it wisely! Fake Mostly bots. Says people are nearby whose profiles clearly state they are not. I get 20 hits a day on OKC and not one match in over 6 months here.
Bumble Holding Limited November 24, 2016
We’re sorry to hear of your experience. The majority of profiles on Bumble are genuine. However, there are people who try use our product for malicious purposes. If you come across a suspicious profile, please report it and we'll check it immediately. Too easy to unmatch, paid twice. :( A simple accidental left swipe and I unmatched someone. There is an undo command, but it disappears too quickly. Second time it happened was with someone I was making plans with to go out. Tried to delete my account so I could try to rematch with those I had unmatched with, only to find that boost I purchased didn't work anymore. Not a fan right now...

Hey there! If you need some assistance with your profile, please contact the beehive using your feedback button in the settings menu on Bumble. The clever bees will take a look at this for you! Women will like you... And then never write anything after you match. Or will say one thing, get you to write back, then go silent.

Fantastic app when it's working. Easy to use, lots of people to chat to but really glitchy at times. Usually at the times you desperately want it to work because the guy looks hot!
