  • Cost prohibitive

    The app works great and plenty of people use it, but good glob is it expensive. $30 is the lowest amount you can spend, and that gets you premium access for a only a week. Premium is the only way to actually see who’s liked you, so the free version isn’t very useful, imo.

  • Don’t waste your time

    App is designed well for viewing profiles easily. However, you can’t actually do much unless you pay for premium and it is EXPENSIVE!!!! Outrageously expensive. I had to do a double take. Even the cheapest plan is crazy.

    Developer Response

  • Why doe

    Just downloaded and it’s cool so far. Only thing is you only get like 15 swipes maybe less, then it says please match diligently, I don’t discriminate or judge, I’m looking for friends so I’ll very very rarely swipe left. So I ran out of swipes. When does it reload it doesn’t tell you. And to get more swipes is also expensive more expensive than dating app premiums.

    We really appreciate you sharing your feedback! Your swipes should reset 24 hours after you hit your daily swipe limit. If you're unable to swipe after 24 hours, please contact @BumbleSupport on Twitter or Facebook so we can take a closer look at what you're experiencing.
  • Impossible to use without paying a high fee

    I have a ton of likes I cannot even see because I refuse to pay $14 per week. They advertise this as a free app but you can only swipe for free. A complete waste of my time. What a joke! Read the other reviews before downloading.

    Thank you for your review. 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. Any questions? Reach out to us here bumble.com/contact. We’re always here to help! 💛
  • Pay to see your likes?

    You can’t even see who had liked you without paying and the price is so steep. At least limit to three chat a month before making people pay

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your review! Although Beeline is a paid feature, you can always make matches and connections in encounters for free. We will be sure to share your feedback with our product team for consideration. 💛
  • It works but overpriced

    I used it and it works to find people to befriend but you can’t match with anyone unless you pay for the subscription and of course it’s super overpriced.

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your review! Bumble For Friends is actually free to use. You can swipe, match, and chat with other members at no cost! We do offer some paid upgrades, but these are completely optional. 💛 🐝
  • Locked into the same gender only?

    The ability it only make friends with people of the same gender as you is pretty limiting for queer people like me. I get the idea behind limiting things like this but it doesn't work for this demographic. Kind of a useless app for me

    Developer Response

    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. 💛
  • Inoperable

    I’m not able to see potential matches (even though it shows I have 19, and my age and distance preferences are maxed). I’ve tried contacting support a few times over several weeks and received either no response or I was told to max my age and distance preferences (I already did)

    Please god just let me use the app 😭 I had no problems using Bumble until this launched

    Oh no! We're so sorry to hear about this. Please message our Support Team on Twitter or Facebook (@BumbleSupport) so our team can have a look at this ASAP. 💛
  • You have to pay to see who matched with you…

    If you and another person match then you can begin a conversation, but if you don’t match you have to pay to unlock the feature where you see who befriended you. And it’s kind of expensive. Not too happy with the first go.

  • Too expensive

    I can’t justify paying $$$ to “potentially “ meet friends who aren’t even local. Now if the price was lower, or a free version with ads I’d be more inclined to give it a shot but until then, no thanks.

    Developer Response

    All of our core features are free to use. You don't have to pay to swipe, make matches, or send messages. We offer a few paid options to access additional features, but they're totally 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. 💛
