Useless app full of scam profiles
I have yet to communicate with a “real” person on here who isn’t later flagged as a suspicious person. If you read most profiles, it’s clearly obvious by the grammar and punctuation used, that they are written by someone who is not English as first language = most likely a scammer. “I’m an honest man, nature loving man, gentle man, anything else listed followed by man”, Nice pictures, nice job, and if you look past the nonsensical profile, the education listed is even funnier to decipher. So, you’re a doctor and you got you Master’s degree from (fill-in-the-blank) High School? Don’t fall for buying beans to “like” people. It’s for amusement only. Like/dislike your daily matches and stockpile your beans. Chances are very likely that if you spend money buying beans and connect with someone, their profile will be flagged as a scam, or they copied a profile that makes sense, but when you start communicating with them, their grammar will quickly alert you that their profile is a scam. Save your money and don’t get your hopes up! Do yourself a favor and install the Veracity app, screen shot any potentials, and run their photos through the screener. Chances are, the photos are stolen/don’t belong to the profile. *For pure entertainment purposes and time wasting only

Response from developer
I am so sorry that you have encountered these profiles on CMB. Safety is a huge priority for us, and we have implemented a number of features to prevent these profiles from getting onto the app. Unfortunately, some still slip through the cracks. If you would like to provide any additional feedback for us, email us at contact@coffeemeetsbagel.com
Phone number log in is stupid
Currently overseas with no reception, somehow the app logged me out when my phone was in my pocket (how my phone wasn’t locked I’m not sure) but now when I try to log in it’s either FB or phone and I didn’t use FB log in last time. Why is it that after I create an account using my number it still asks me for a phone log in verification and not a Touch ID log in???

Very disappointing
I felt as though this app wasn’t truly taking preferences into consideration, and may have been making suggestions based on racial profiling. Having been born in this country and being mixed European and Anglo Indian, my preference was set to White/Caucasian. However most of the guys that were shown on my profile and who I would get likes from were South Asian, despite the fact that I didn’t state that I was South Asian (I barely know anything about the culture and can hardly relate to the people anyhow). This was a truly disappointing experience and I wish the app actually did its job and showed you guys that you would actually be interested in, instead of guys who they think you’d be interested in by only showing those of similar ethnicity (a very flimsy thing to be basing a potential match or relationship off of).

Worst app ever Waist of money and effort
The premium function that cost 35£ doesn’t work you can’t do anything you can’t like anyone they send you a few people a day that are the opposite of what you said your settings are. Not being funny but can’t use the discover section as premium doesn’t work (not sure what use it is to know when someone was online you can’t like anyone unless you spent another 30£ on top of the 32£ membership) it’s the biggest waist of my time ever and just extremely disappointed that I have paid for the premium it gives nothing like you can’t do anything on the app actually just like the selected people they send you that j am sorry i would never go out with. Also there is no choice.
By far the worst dating app in The world. I feel scammed out of my money to be honest

No response from the support team
I downloaded this app a few days ago and half set up my profile with the two pictures I have of myself. I later got an email from the Coffee Meets Bagel support team saying my account had been flagged and that they needed to verify my account by sending a photo of myself holding up 3 fingers. I replied straight away with the photo. In response I got an email back that said the exact same thing the first email- that I needed to verify my account. I replied to the email and for the second time attached a photo of myself. It has been 4 days and I have still not had my account verified and meanwhile I am getting notifications from the app that people are liking my profile but I cannot login to the app or do anything about it.
I sent an email yesterday expressing my frustration and asking for them to delete my account if they weren’t going to unblock it.
I still have received no response, and I have no way of accessing my account to delete it.

Pointless and convoluted...
Im not even allowed to give 0 stars. I have been using online dating on and off for years... and this has been the most mindless, convoluted, money-grubbing-app that ive ever seen... after 2-3 “freebies”, cmb removes your option to message “matches” and replaces it with an option to pay for a subscription! And the worst part: the subscription literally does NOTHING. It gives you one extra “match” per day... as well as a discount on their mindless currency to “match” with other users who ARENT suggected by cmb. In other words: youre limited entirely by cmbs algorithm, which is non existent, to talk to people. Otherwise its the luck of the draw to get matched with someone you wanna talk to. Otherwise, you gotta wait 24+ hours to talk to 5 potential matches... aka women who have no business being matched with you. Theres no innovation here, no smart-app, no customer service/feedback, and certainly no sense to double-charging their customers and STILL not letting them message anyone. This app runs on their popularity on sharktank and their ability to leech money from people before they get lucky enough to move off the app. Which is how EVERY dating app works... this one just runs on stupidity, which is far too common these days.

New interface, same disappointment
I had high hopes based on reviews but I’m very disappointed with CMB. Theoretically it seems like a good app and I like the interface, but the “algorithm” leaves me with one suggested bagel a day (as a girl). None of those have liked me, and most definitely aren’t my type so I have no idea where this algorithm is coming from beyond basic filters. It’s not helped by the number of men who don’t fill out their profiles...but what was I expecting, as that’s a common feature of every dating app. Additionally, I like that you can’t see a bagel’s name unless you like each other, but capping conversation at one week? That alone makes me reconsider using it. I personally refuse to give out my number on dating apps prior to meeting as I’ve had guys use it to track me down on social media, but CMB backs you into a corner- pay extra for “beans”, give out identifying personal information to a stranger, or ghost- if it takes more than a week for your schedules to align. CMB, have you even considered the weight (some) girls give to handing out their number and the stalking it allows in the wrong hands?

Coffeemeetsbagel is a terrible app
Coffeemeetsbagel is the worst app I have ever used. I have only used it for a week and then I cannot log in to it. After I sent an email to the customer service team, the team told me that I was incorrectly flagged by their system. So it was their system’s mistake that leads to my log-in problem. During this inquiry process, the customer service replied really slowly, they normally reply to your email after a week. They ask me to provide the email and the type of my phone, I fulfilled all of their requirements. Then here comes their new requirement. They ask me to send a new photo holding up three fingers to prove that I am the real user. What a strange requirement and this actually violates the privacy of users. However, I still do so. You know what? The customer service team then does not reply with any decision and just tell me they still need to verify my account after I send them the new private photo of myself.
It has been a month and my log-in problem is still not fixed. The customer service team of Coffeemeetsbagel is the worst service I have ever experienced. They reply slowly and do not solve problems. This Coffeemeetsbagel app and their customer experience is so disappointing.

The App is a little Racist?
So I’ve been using CMB for a few months now and i like the concept I really do.
There were some genuine matches and some conversations you can have. But I started to notice that, as an Asian male, I was only getting suggested partners who were Asian. Out of my 12 ex’s I’ve actually only dated 2 asians because let’s face it, I’m kind of a washed out Asian as in I’ve grown up surrounded with Caucasian people my whole life (moving internationally constantly since youth) so I actually have more personality compatibilities with people who have lived in similar environments and cultures away from asia - which is natural.
So I looked in preferences because I was sure that I never put a ‘preference’ for matches. I was right, I never put a preference because I actually don’t have a preference. But all the suggested matches that I’ve been getting all these months I noticed were all Asian women. And not until I put a preference of Caucasian will I ever get Caucasian suggestions. So I feel like there’s something wrong with the match making - the fact that it could be basing suggested matches to your own ethnicity. Which is a little... bit morally right nor does it mean that only asians will gets long with asians, and so on so forth.
So yeah a little disappointing at this front.

Awful! Horrible! Do not sign up!
I downloaded the app and signed up using my phone number instead of Facebook. After a few hours, I wasn’t really pleased with the men on the app. I tried deleting the app but it only gave me the option to “deactivate”. A few weeks later, I received an email from CMB stating that someone gained access to my account. I’m not sure how they got my email address since I used my phone number to sign up. Even weirder that the email they sent, went to an old email address that I don’t use anymore. I asked them to remove my phone profiles associated with both emails and my phone number. It took them almost a week to get back to me, only to say they were backed up and would get back to me later. After about two weeks, they got back to me and told me to login and delete the accounts myself. I tried. The desktop version had no way of logging in. So I downloaded the app again but that only gave me the option to signup. Not login as a current user. I tried Googling their phone number but they don’t have one listed. Finally, I had to send them a threatening email to sue them for posting an unwanted profile of me. Less than 24 hours later, they replied stating the accounts were removed.
