    My account was blocked. They said the reason was inappropriate behavior. I never had any interactions with anyone, so I don't know how they could block me for inappropriate behavior if I have no behavior.

    Not any good. Too many scammers. No real people. Right away trying to take you off platform. No good! I paid for my subscription. The platform itself kicks off scammers people from outside your range of how far you want to meet someone are out to get you to some profile not even filled out but on their. I personally would not recommend this to anyone!

    STAY AWAY FROM BUMBLE!! I met with a woman one time and she was a nut!! The date ended asap and the next thing I know she reports me to Bumble and bumble blocks me. This woman sent me threatening messages and called me several times harassing and threatening me. I was scared out of my mind with her threats so I filed a police report and even tried to file an Order of Protection against her (but could not get it delivered properly). I sent Bumble all of the reports regarding my legal actions and they never responded. BUMBLE DOES NOT LOOK OUT FOR THEIR "NORMAL" MEMBERS.

    I woke up one morning and realized I was banned from Bumble. I had done nothing wrong and get get anyone from customer support to answer my questions. Luckily, I wasn’t a fan to begin with but this was the icing on the cake. After reading other Bumble reviews I notice a pattern of this happening to a lot of others, without an explanation. I'm all about keeping the apps safe, but don’t ban someone because they don’t agree with something that was said. (I'm guessing that’s the reason?) This will not fare well for Bumble long term, especially with the terrible and rude customer service “support” team.

    🚨 Bumble’s “Empowerment” Is a Lie — Here’s How They Silenced and Data-Trapped Me. I want to share my experience because Bumble’s polished “empowering women” image hides something deeply wrong behind the scenes. After a normal interaction with a match went sour, he falsely reported me for “selling sexual services.” Without any investigation, Bumble permanently blocked my account. I reached out, explained exactly what happened, and asked them to review the situation. Instead of a fair review, they upheld their decision with no evidence, no transparency, and no path to appeal. When I requested full deletion of my personal data (a basic right under GDPR and other privacy laws), Bumble sent me an email that shocked me. They admitted that:

    They retain blocked users’ personal data — including names, device IDs, messages, and “reason for block.”

    This data is kept for up to six years to “protect their legitimate interests.”

    In some cases, data can be kept indefinitely if Bumble decides it’s “necessary.”

    In other words: if they wrongfully accuse or block you, your personal data stays in their system for years — even after you ask for erasure. It’s basically held hostage under the claim of “safety.” How is that empowerment? How is that protecting women? It’s deeply hypocritical for a company that markets itself as a safe space for women to turn around and:

    Ignore due process when false reports happen.

    Label women unfairly and offer no recourse.

    Retain sensitive data long after they’ve blocked and silenced them.

    I expected a platform that valued fairness and safety — instead, I got digital punishment and data captivity. I’m sharing this because too many women trust Bumble’s brand without realizing how little accountability exists once you’re falsely accused or flagged. Please, read their policies before trusting the “empowerment” narrative. We deserve better from companies that profit off our vulnerability.

    Point blank, you won't find a match on bumble. I was foolish enough to pay for a subscription, and that's on me. But only getting few matches and all from out of state? I understand bumble can't control the dating pool....but save yourself time and money. I've had had more interactions with ladies at my local gym than bumble.

    Customer Service is AWFUL. They automatically renew your subscription even when your cc is removed from the Bumble app and you have removed your subscription from Apple Iphone subscriptions - then when questioned about a refund they refused. For something to have such a wonderful story behind you are putting the background investments and owners to shame. It is an awful product with awful customer service - would 100% NOT recommend. I have also reported the disputed charge to my bank, the BBB, attorney general's office and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I will make sure this in all the publications and feeds I can produce. Absolutely ridiculous business practices.

    I have never given one star for any website before. But using the Bumble app was the worst dating experience of my life. I received two likes after several days, neither of which messaged me. I have heard that dating for most men has become impossible after MeToo and Covid, but I wanted to find out for myself. Because it is a looks-based swipe app, like Tinder, and women control communication, with filters set impossibly high, I would only suggest this app for men who are in the top 20% to 30% of SMV. I am in shape, healthy. I have an advanced degree and a well-paying job. I also look 15 to 20 years younger than my age. In the past, I was swamped with dates. Yet, today, crickets - even from women my own age.

    Bumble is currently taking part in artificially inflating the traffic on their app by creating fake profiles. Most of these profiles are also ID verified. Bumble is so brazen about their fraud, they even have the audacity to put Bumble watermarks in the upper right hand corners of all the fake profiles they've created. Bumble in reality is a dead dating app that has been artificially propped up by fake accounts, created by the owners of the company themselves. And it's proof of this, because all their fake profiles, including the ID verified fake profiles, have the Bumble watermark featured in the right hand corner of every photo on these fake accounts. The fact that Bumble is still allowed to sell a lifetime subscription to their app, while committing this fraud, is an atrocity and it should be looked into by the Better Business Bureau and the FBI.

    Completely fraudulent. They have been charging me weekly premium of $17.99 when I cancelled my premium in December 24. Anyone else want to start a class action suit?

    I bought Bumble premium in the afternoon on June 27th and then tried to cancel the subscription later that same day so I wouldn't be charged for July. I couldn't find a "cancel subscription" button anywhere in the app, so I went to my PayPal account and pressed the "request cancellation" button. Paypal then instructed me to email the bumble-paypal-us@team.bumble.com address to cancel my subscription. I emailed that Bumble address on June 27th asking how to cancel my Bumble premium subscription and never received a response. Bumble charged my account almost $40 in July despite the fact that I took every reasonable step I knew how to take to cancel the subscription and avoid a July charge. You're not going to find what you're looking for on Bumble. Don't bother giving them your time/money.

    I did Match a couple of years ago and had some decent dates. But for some reason I couldn't reactivate my profile and their customer service didn't bother getting back to me so I tried Bumble. Only matched with two guys within 50 miles. I got tons of likes and compliments and chats right away but everyone is over 50 miles away. The two local guys were weird. One started eating from my plate without asking first and was super aggressive and argumentative. Bad dates. I don't think they have enough reach where I live and I think they should have to disclose how many members they actually have. I'm going on a couple of dates with the distance guys but I expect to shut this down soon and just take up golf or something.

    I recommend not using Bumble. It is a good site, however after cancelling my subscription and advising them to renew, they automatically charged my credit card for a further 6 month renewal. Worse than that, I exchanged several emails with them and they refused to refund this automatic charge. I have now placed them as “fraudulent” on my Visa, as I have no confidence that they won’t do it again. Do not give them your credit card or auto payment options. For the small amount of $169 CDN$, they have lost a future client. I would never recommend them to anyone who asks my opinion. I further advised them that I would report them as a fraudulent account which I have done and write negative reviews. They still refused to refund me. BTW, I cancelled Match.com at the same time and have had no issues.

So expensive, and or the free version does nothing, can’t see like, can’t get messages or super swiped whatever that is… 💯 of the men are either AI or fake accounts. Would not pay for this app again.

    I had not heard of Bumble as a dating app and at dinner party someone mentioned it to me. I signed up for three months. One of the features I like the best is I traveled during that three months, and it would relocate me geographically and present possible matches in that geographical area. I was in Park City, Utah and went out with a nice man for coffee. I was in Indonesia and met a lovely man from Australia that I continue to correspond with, but the best was just as my three months were ending I found my person.

    My impression of the men who were looking for possible relationships on bumble are a little more sincere than on some of the other dating apps. It was easy to use although sometimes it was a bit frustrating that if you didn’t indicate an interest, you didn’t get the opportunity to view the profile again or I didn’t understand how to do it. I know there’s a lot of mixed feelings about dating apps and I’ve had them myself, but I never would’ve met this person if I had not been on a dating app we do not live close together. I’m a very socially active person, but really was not able to meet someone with my interests and values through my social activities.

    I figured after 2 dozen dating sites that have been hit and mostly missed, that I would try Bumble. Been on about 2 months and a guestimate of sending 450 plus likes, I have had zero replies, likes, comments, etc. Nothing. Getting "verified" is an ordeal and whom I want to date still yields a mixed bag. I can not decipher what to pay for, but, honestly, guys, we can do better. Maybe I really am not the gentleman ladies seek.😞

    Bumble’s "women message first" rule sounds good in theory, but in practice, it just leads to expired matches and wasted time. The app feels slow and clunky compared to Datemio, where connections happen😊 instantly and the interface is smooth. Limited daily swipes and constant paywalls make the experience feel restrictive. Fake profiles and inactive users are still a problem. Unless you enjoy waiting around for nothing, I’d skip Bumble and try a better alternative. Disappointing, to say the least.
