  • Great! PLEASE ADD ABILITY TO HAVE MORE THAN 5 INTERESTS

    Please add the ability to add more than 5 interests though PLEASE! It just doesn’t feel like enough when finding friends!! Especially when you only have 25 free likes a day!

    Other than that I love that it’s a separate app and I don’t have to have regular bumble on my phone because I’m engaged!

  • Customer Support

    I’ve tried multiple times with multiple avenues to contact support about getting my Bumble subscription connected to BFF but nobody has gotten back to me since Aug 11th. I do not have twitter or Facebook so please do not suggest that.

    Thank you for your review. We're sorry to hear about this. For further assistance, please get in touch with our support team at: https://support.bumble.com/hc/en-us/requests/new. Thank you. 💛
  • Worthless

    They say free to use and that only a “few features” that are “upgrades” and are not necessary to make a connection is a lie. Do not waste your time.

  • Doesn’t allow you to use BFF anymore.

    When you originally set up if you attach your bumble bff account it says you will no longer be able to use your bff account. Sooooo? You want me to pay two memberships? Nah I’m good.

    Developer Response

  • Overpriced and not easy to use.

    Despite what the person who is responding to reviews says, you cannot use this app without paying. I swiped on a couple of girls I liked and went to see who o matched with but it says “upgrade to premium to see who liked you” then it says “upgrade to premium to send a message” so no, it is not completely free to use. The only thing you can do is swipe and like 5 people before it says to upgrade. If that is a bug you guys are working on then say that, but to keep replying that it’s completely free is just misleading. There literally no point to use the app if you do not want to pay for premium.

    We're sorry to hear this! Our app is and always will be free! We offer a few paid options that allow you 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/help/#contact-us. 💛
  • Won’t upload my photos

    Makes you upload 2, when I select them it doesn’t work. Closed and reopened app. Can’t get around it nor go back.

    We're sorry to hear about this. Please message our Support Team on Twitter or Facebook (@BumbleSupport) so our team can have a look at this. 💛
  • Can’t try with incognito unless I pay unknown amount

    I wanted to try it out in incognito mode but that would require upgrade. Minimum upgrade is £22 but not sure if incognito is in that deal or would cost more still. I guess I’m not confident or desperate enough to buy before I try. I understand you can use it for free now that I got feedback from developer. Initially it appeared you could not use it for free because when doing set up you click on something that would cost money and it appears to the new user that you have now hit a paywall whereas it’s just a pay for option you don’t have to have.

    Thanks for updating your review. We always appreciate feedback from our users.
  • Too restrictive

    Would be a great app if it wasn’t so expensive and if all useful feature wasn’t exclusive to the membership. You can only select a few interests.

    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. 🐝
  • Absolute waste of time!

    I wouldn’t ever bother downloading this app unless you’ve got money to waste! £20 for one week to see who has swiped your profile to make “friends” alongside that you can’t talk to anyone unless you pay them a ridiculous amount of money to see who has also swiped your account. Absolutely ridiculous.

    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. 💌
  • They’ve done it…

    They have monetized friendship. Absolutely ridiculous. Signed up thinking, hey new in town would be good to meet others since it’s so difficult anymore. Oh hey, I got a like! Great I’ll reach out…
    App: so in order to even speak to someone with whom you share a basic common interest you have to pay $29 a week or $119 for six months.
    Deleted my account. WTAF?
