Very dodgy and limited
If you are a paid member they present with you 5-8 options daily and it can take a long time to find even one you want to match.
They only allow you 8 likes per month as a paid member and then they force you to pay for as a paid member this is ridiculous. If I am a paid member let me like as many as I want.
They also control who you can see as search results show only a tiny selection that they decide and after you used your 8 likes you have to wait a month to like anyone again it’s more than £5 per like insane.
And you can’t favourite anyone in the search results so they are impossible to find later if you like them but are out of likes.
Finally as they want to control everything and treat us like we are babies they limit how long you can talk in the chat with you matches.
Worst dating app.
If I pay let me like as many as I want. Let the search results show me all results that match. Let me decide when and how long I take to chat to my matches.
They obviously do this as if it was open like other apps like hinge you would like the profiles they have in a day and leave quickly this way they keep people on longer.
This is made for them to milk your purse not to help you find good dating options.
Hinge is much better.
Solid Dating app that mostly avoids the hook up culture
Wasted 1 hour
UPDATE I was finally able to get back online and been using the app for a few weeks now. Think I’m about to delete it completely - I rarely get any men in suggested, liked or discover that I’m really attracted to. It’s like they don’t show my profile enough to the good looking men, and only show me some questionable men for free. I’m a gorgeous girl with a well filled out profile, and never had this issue before. Also, a huge bummer: I don’t see my new messages very often; somehow, they don’t show as new for days and weeks, and then of course the chat expires and I need to pay to reply. Blood sucking app that’s designed to nickel and dime you, not help you find meaningful connections.

Great dating app
Of course it does suffer from the same old online dating problems. But thats just how it is across all platforms so i wont take any rating away.
Finding dates in real life is better but if you’re gonna use an app, this is one of the good ones.

Fraudulent App
Previously when I matched with someone who seemed really good, we had problems with the messaging, until after the conversation expired, CMB said there was a problem with the messaging and gave some beans to make up for it. Now I realise this was deliberate so you don’t end up with someone you match well with.
It’s in their interest to keep you on the app as long as possible and to get you to pay. Their algorithm is definitely to show you as little as possible so you still stay on the app but don’t find someone so you keep going back. Even their ‘good reviews’ here are probably fake. Reality of the world these days. Don’t waste your time here.

That's so great to hear! Thank you for using CMB :)
Far overdue but...
I can’t say enough good things about this app. While it was my last ditch effort, I was my husband’s second date. We had a coffee and bagel bar at our wedding and four years and two beautiful kiddos later we are still glad to have met through this quirky app and recommend it to anyone we know that’s looking for a relationship.

Thank you so much for the review and kind words!
Still unsure of the APP
I do like the limited bagel numbers and number of likes. It makes one stop and consider each person. However, you are forced to pass on a daily bagel instead of seeing all bagels for that day. There is no way to think through all the bagels and go back and like one.

Thank you for the feedback! We take all of our members feedback into consideration.
Beware free trial!
No good in Melbourne
Also - I notice there are a few reviews from Asian users saying the app is racist as they are recommended mostly Asian bagels. I’m not Asian, but at least half the profiles I saw were Asian. I don’t think the app is racist - I think there are just a lot of Asian users on the app.
