Just a little odd
Personally, as I’ve been using this in conjunction with Hinge, it’s about the same, and maybe more for a free to play standpoint. Major filters are of course blocked behind a paywall, but functionality is great even without the premium. My complaint? I have 8-9 likes on me, I’ve seen when a like listed disappears when I’ve selected to match or move along. But it’s been a week. Most apps and sites tend to filter those likes into my choices, so that I can see those interested in me quickly. When apps don’t it’s usually because those likes, or at least a few of them, are fake.
Now, in the Discover section, they seem to display maybe one person that had liked me, (I assume from their list for the day) but I also have no way of passing a person if they’re shown in that section. So that would also bolster the number of invisible likes that I can’t access unless I pay the premium.
All in all, pretty average, my qualms about hidden likes aside, the basis seems good for anyone with a busy life, checking on their lunch break. And it’s mostly free, but would take forever to get through all potentials in any major city. Kinda a hobby esc dating app, rather than a serious search.
TLDR 3 stars, minus 1 for hidden likes. Not the worst you could try.

Banned, but I am a real person
If you are a woman that upsets a man or someone on CMB you will be banned. This happened to me. I am a real person- not a scammer- I’m a kind person, and the only thing wrong I did was apparently talk to the wrong man on CMB. After I decided (because he made me feel unsafe, was pushy, unkind, and brushed off my safety concerns) I no longer wanted to have any contact with him I was banned from CMB. A word advice- if anything goes wrong with someone from CMB block them immediately before they report you (I should have done so) or you will be banned too. I can easily prove I am a real person with identification, friends from CMB that I know in person, my work information/ID etc. it doesn’t matter. So I would suggest to definitely not pay for anything longer than month because even if you have a paid account you will still be banned.
This man has also started sending me all sorts of scam text messages and emails. I am positive they are from him because before I stopped talking to him all I ever received was every once in awhile a scam email, but now I’ve started receiving a bunch of scam/not legitimate text messages as well as emails from someone that knows personal details of my life.

$$$ and fakes
So you get like 6 free likes a day and you get 5 beans in total, to like someone outside of the free likes it is 300 beans… to extend a chat that’s been quite for a few days it’s 99 beans… and half the time it’s pop ups to buy more beans… and to top that off half of the people on their set their location to England when they don’t even live here! So if and when you do manage to get a match, chances are they don’t even live in the same country as you 😅

Really great app with REALLY ANNOYING LIMITATIONS
Let me start by saying this is A GREAT APP FOR ITS ANTI SWIPING THEME AND MUCH NEEDED!! But there are certain limitations that should be very easily fixed but I’m not sure why they are kept in place... they are:
1. Why is skip the line (a reason to upgrade to premium) only available for bagels (people) in suggested BUT NOT IF YOU SEND A MESSAGE? People want to read messages! So if someone’s popular, you can send a like and a prompt comes up if you want to skip the line and send flowers... but if you send a message like... YOU WILL NEVER GET THIS OPTION!! It should be a really easy switch on the developer side not sure why they do it like this.
2. Why can you NOT send messages with discover likes? Only in suggested?
3. This is more of a bug... why is it when people like you that sometimes their like is in the likes category, but sometimes in the discover section, and other times if it’s coincidence and they’re in your suggested on the same day > the likes show up in there? Really confusing!
4. Why do the app devs MAKE YOU DO A VIDEO CALL? Other apps have options for voice calls or video calls, but this app MAKES you have to do video if you didn’t want to exchange numbers yet. THEN THEY PUT A 15 MIN LIMIT. I understand it’s good to keep it short but what if you want to do a longer call? It keeps ending the call on you and you can redial it again. CUSTOMERS WANT OPTIONS!! NOT LIMITATIONS!!

BEST BY FAR!
I have been on many other date apps in the past and in My honest opinion, “Coffee Meets Bagel” is the best dating app! It’s basic features allow you to go thrift profiles and send unlimited messages for free! I just signed up this week and met someone on my first day and we continue to chat outside of the app now, but my door is still open to more opportunities 😉 They screen their members really well, that I find a lot more “quality” people on there! And every day at 12 noon they release up to 20 people NEAR me. May I ask the developers why they don’t release ALL members near me? Sometimes I’m not compatible with ANY of the new matches 🙄🫤😩 so I have to wait 24 hours to be able to see the next batch, if there are any 🙄 Bit I still gave CMB=Coffee Meets Bagel 5 ⭐️ , though Infeel
It should be 10 ⭐️ Can you allow members to have unlimited space to create their bio? And can you allow members to see their “likes” if you had to throw in having to “watch” advertisements, I’d be happy with that 🙏🏻 Mahalo 🤙🏻

Single Guy Looking For Love
I got divorced about 15 years ago. Like most of us I had a lot of anxiety about going online to meet someone new. I have tried out a number of sites often coming up with very similar results. The women that seem to be the most interesting and attractive usually are often taken. There seemed to be a lot of ghosting an early game playing I guess to protect themselves from being hurt. On more than one occasion I have met some nice women on Coffee Meets Bagel.
About four weeks ago I met one of the most interesting and beautiful women I’ve ever had the privilege of sharing some time with on Coffee Meets Bagel. So when you finally hit that low wondering why people aren’t calling you or messaging you on a dating site like this stick it out!! Because you never know who is right around the corner. It’s just like any other endeavor if you don’t put the time in you can’t expect to get to the gold! good luck and wishing you all well!

People: amazing, app quality: needs work
The people I’ve met on this app have been out of this world amazing, however I run into critical issues with the messaging system that are just not acceptable and let an otherwise great app down. I’d like to rate 5 stars but when the app does things like lose messages intermittently, not show you messages you’ve been sent sometimes and things like that, it risks derailing the conversations on the app
We need to be able to trust the messaging system, it’s worrisome to know that you only saw certain messages because you hard restarted the app by chance for example

Designed to benefit girls not guys
CMB is not fair by limiting the number of bagels but not limiting the number of matches. Popular girls get 30 likes easily in a day. Even they like back only half of them, they still cannot handle talking to 15 matches at the same time. While they definitely enjoy this feeling of being popular, they still suffer from the pain of not being able to commit to all the matches. Guys, on the other hand, only get 1 to 2 matches in a week or even 2 weeks, so they commit each single match they can have. This inevitably leads to guys being ghosted by girls. If CMB can limit the number of matches, this unfair situation can definitely be improved: guys are ghosted less and girls can decide more seriously which one to match because once they match, girls would cherish that match as they know it’s one of the few that they could match. Also set a 24 hour deadline for unmatch: if no response in 24 hours, then unmatched. We’re humans not ghosts. If no intent to chat, then why match?

Data Hacks
This is one of the worse apps. No one is on it. It’s run by pro-communist leftist and it’s privacy policy is all about selling data and making money.
The App Helps Me To Meet Someone
It is a late review.
It was my first dating app and I just used the app for 3 or 4 weeks then I meet my Mr. Right here.
I didn’t find the app myself but one of my friend referred me to use it. I didn’t really interest in or trust the online dating app since I couldn’t really see those people. So, I hold an attitude of “give it a try.” I met two of the bagels in person , and the first and second “hang out” just two days apart. After meeting them, we kept in touch; while my first dating person asked if we would like to meet another day again; the second person told me he had deleted the app shortly; and I deleted mine since I already kept in touch with two.
I was lucky that one of them has been my bf after a months or two.
As I read some of the review, and I agree with them that as girls/females we received a lot of likes daily; however, when you like back to some that you are interested in, part of them never text you, while some do not respond even you take the initiative. As one of the reviewers points out, we girls usually see the profile pictures including the description that we don’t like or like back randomly. We respect and respond to all the conversations until we feel the offensive.
In my opinion, the app is a platform for us to know more people and set up relationships; however, it is our job to maintain a relationship but not the app.
