Leave a Review Bumble For Friends
You have to make 1st move or pay.
You can’t see who “likes you” / wants to hang / be your friend unless you pay. Otherwise you have to always make the “first move” on the friendship. Will probably delete because of the stress this causes me even though I want to make friends.["Hip", "Hip"]
What, Can I Not Befriend Men?
It works fine. It’s like a dating app for friends, I get it, it has all the features. But why am I just limited to my gender? It literally makes no sense. I’m a girl, but I don’t get to have guys on my feed? So pointless.sophysmiles

We're so sorry to hear this! Currently, members on Bumble For Friends can only have a match with people of the same gender, but we will share your feedback with our product team to advocate for this update in the future. Thank you for taking the time to let us know that this is important to you. 💛Almost there… (would you look at that, more greed)
So close to being fabulous. Have a lot to say but when it comes down to the quick and dirty : Bumble for Pete’s sake why charge such a high prices? Basic feature like “undo” when accidentally swiping left Vs right, there is not a single option to undo (even when trying it out the first day) without being behind a $20 for ONE WEEK to $80 for 6m pay wall. Come on bumble? People are lonely during a recession with inflation and this is the options you give? More greed. No under $10 trial period is so lame. Like you were so close… I would be so happy to pay a reasonable price for an app like this, but to be so stingy to not even allow us to TEST the features before paying SUCH prices? Come on now. 8.6 billion dollar company needs $20/wk before you can even test a basic feature. Give me a break. (Oh and to boot, went to the contact us page on their website to avoid leaving this review, to give them a polite and decent chance to hear from the people - and “this page is not available” was the contact us page. Nice.)Show lesshappyinkc

We're sorry you aren't satisfied with Bumble For Friends. We can assure you that it's a cost-free application, and there's no obligation to pay for our features to make genuine connections or send messages. Before a conversation can get off the ground, both members have to have swiped to the right to create a match. Either member can then send the first message directly from the “You Matched ” screen, which appears once two members match. Remember: You have 24 hours to respond to a First Move! If you see that a connection is expiring soon, you can use your daily 24-hour extend feature to give them a little more time to break the ice. ✨ If you have any more questions, please know we're here to help via bumble.com/contact. 💌Premium to chat with friends
I find that the “Premium to see who likes you/to chat” is kind of limiting. Like if there’s someone who swiped for me, why can’t I chat with them to start the friendship? I have to get premium for that? I feel like that’s kind of limiting and unnecessary, especially if that person could become a potential friend.Show lessMegs_rose

We're sorry to hear this. Bumble For Friends is and always will be free; you can chat for free with your connexions as soon as they're reciprocal! We offer a few paid features that allow you to access additional features, but they're optional. You don't have to pay to make authentic connections in the Hive. If you have any questions, definitely reach out to our Support Team at bumble.com/contact. 💛Non existent customer support
I’ve been trying since this app came out to get my subscription connected to both Bumble and BFF, through social media and the website contact form, several times. Not one response. Will be canceling my subscription for good because of poor customer service, not worth the money.JL AppReviews

I swear I swiped right on only 5 to 10 people when I first got the app before it told me I was out of likes within a few minutes. Okay, I wait 12 hours or so and open the app again, thinking I’ll have more likes. I swipe right on TWO PEOPLE and tells me I’m out of likes again..?? Nearly impossible to find matches with this extremely limited amount of swipesShow less6473)3);):$:

Thank you for your feedback. We're always working to increase the number of genuine, quality connections for our members. We've incorporated a swipe limit to encourage more intentional swiping and increase the changes of making meaningful connections. You're always welcome to upgrade your account to Boost or Premium if you'd like to have unlimited swipes. 💛Apps like these should be prohibited
You have to pay to see matches and you can’t chat without seeing matches and so what is the point of calling this app free?
I emailed to ask this and after 5 days I have received no response.TheKribys
Disappointed
I find it really silly that you have to pay to see your likes, all you can basically do is swipe unless you decide to pay £5 for subscription, it doesn’t even give you the chance do a free trial. Deleted my account right after making ittiffyy123

We're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience on Bumble. Our team would love the opportunity to improve your experience in the Hive! Viewing your Beeline is a Premium feature, your Admirers will be blurred until you subscribe to Bumble Premium. Otherwise, you can still see them in your swipe deck if they fit within your filters. Please message our Support Team on Twitter or Facebook (@BumbleSupport) and we'd be happy to help if you have any questions. 💛Feels very restrictive
I don't understand why they limit our profiles to 5 interests, 3 questions about ourselves, a tiny bio, and a few pictures. We're not babies, we can decide for ourselves what will make our profile look too cluttered or not. i'm sorry whoever designed this is lacking personality, but most ppl have more than 5 interests. and the timer? Please. What if someone has a busy work day? I don't see how the app is benefiting from rushing us.Show lessSpriteWild

We really appreciate you sharing your feedback! It is always great to hear from our members, as it helps us continue to improve our app. We know our users are busy so all of our members have the opportunity to extend one match for an additional 24 hours. You can also extend unlimited matches with Bumble Boost and Bumble Premium! To make sure you don't miss any matches, head to your in-app settings to turn on your notifications. 🐝Misleading Features
They claim there are free features, but the only things that are free is creating your profile and swiping on others. If you want to know who swiped on you to connect with them, you have to pay $15 a week. It doesn’t make any sense. Immediately deleted this app.sweetlilpsycho
