Doesn’t even open!
Got it suggested to try, but can’t even open the app to create an account! Even after letting it load for a while, closing it and reopening it, then eventually deleting it again and reinstalling! Still nothing so deleted again, so disappointed :(iBallisticTom

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. This shouldn't be happening and sounds like something our team could help you with. Please get in contact with us at bumble.com/contact or @BumbleSupport on social media so we can help you with this as soon as possible. 🫶Why gendered?
Extremely odd that we’re only shown people of the same gender as possible friends. I don’t make friends with mxn. Especially not the country ones local to me. Like, this is entirely useless to me unless i want to make friends with gary who likes fishing and posting incel memes. Honestly this is so heteronormative and gross. Why have more than two gender identities if the profiles shown are still based on what people have in their pants? Why have nonbinary as an option if you’re still going to format this like a scared conservative sunday school teacher? Is bumble’s view of friendship modeled after Mike Pence? I can only know one womxn, fall in love with her, and call her “mother” for the rest of my life. Ew.Show lessRunFromSkunks

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'll share your feedback with our Product Team to advocate for this update in the future. Thanks for taking the time to let us know that this is important to you. 💛Better vetting process
It’s not Bumbles fault , but a lot of men on the bff feature are here trying to get s*x. I recently matched with a married guy (married to a woman) , as we’re talking he then tells me he’s bi. Eventually he says he’s lookin to get physical with a guy as he’s never done that. I then clearly stated that I am JUST here for friendship and nothing else (I’m also in a relationship). I told him cheating isn’t cool and he shouldn’t step out on his wife, I was then blocked/unmatched. It bothers me that men are here for bad intentions when there are countless other apps/services that provide that. BFF should make it clear to new users that this is just for friendship connections, and also users should be able to report other users in cases like these (in appropriate circumstances) and that accoun should be banned (temporarily or permanently). Giving it 2 stars because I’ve had numerous interactions similar to this and makes me uncomfortableShow lessSupreme Master5269

We're so sorry to hear about your experience. You're totally right, Bumble For Friends isn't for romantic connections; never hesitate to report a member who makes you feel uncomfortable or that doesn't follow our Guidelines and our Moderation Team will take the appropriate actions. Please message our Support Team on Twitter or Facebook (@BumbleSupport) if you need any Support. 💛Eh
UPDATE: They added a like limit and now you have to pay to swipe right on people????? That is ridiculous. It’s not my fault people have vague terrible profiles
The app itself is fine imo. I have the free plan and I don’t think it’s necessary to pay. I like the new plans feature although most people just make and join the groups for no reason. My problem is with the people using the app. It’s an app to make friends but about 80% of the girls on here are not looking to make friends. Most of them just want followers on snapchat and ig. A lot of them expect you to carry conversations and chase them. Most don’t even put in effort to fill out their profiles. I think bumble should do something to incentivize people to interact more. Or maybe randomly pair people up based on their profiles idk something to weed out the low effort people.Show lessmamagals

Thanks for your feedback! We're always working to increase the number of genuine, quality connections for our members. Part of that means encouraging more intentional swiping. We know that the more thoughtful our members are about their swipes, the more likely they are to strike up conversations that lead to meaningful connections. We’ve recently incorporated a “Yes” swipe limit to help our members get the quality results they’re hoping for! 💛 Our team would love the opportunity to improve your experience in the Hive! Please message our Support Team on Twitter or Facebook (@BumbleSupport) and we'd be happy to help.Profile pictures keep getting deleted
I keep trying to edit my profile so that there is more than one picture of me and it doesn’t seem to matter whether I add them all at the same time or one at a time, they all eventually disappear. I’ve tried about 8 different times in different ways. Tried getting out of the app and starting over again. Every time it ends up deleting at least 1-2 of the 5 I’ve tried to add and the only one I can get it to keep is the main one which eventually I actually want to replace. Its extremely frustrating! None of the pictures break any guidelines of any kind, they all show my face clearly, they’re all pictures of me, my profile is verified. I’m not sure what the issue is but it’s making me not even want to bother using the app and I haven’t even really started yet!Show lessCranberryWednesday
Keeps removing my photos for no valid reason
I know in peoples responses the app developers are claiming they don’t remove people’s photos without a valid reason but now I’m experiencing this and they’re removing my photos without a valid reason. It’s just photos of me fully clothed and they’re photos of me. Not anyone else. I’m not wearing a swimsuit or underwear or anything like that. I sent bumble a message to ask them to please stop removing my photos. Something is obviously wrong with this app. It’s clearly a glitch or something. Also there were only 2 people in my area and that was very disappointing. Not really blaming the app for that one just saying my experience with it I guess not many people use it.Show lessblueberry154

We're sorry to hear that; we moderate pictures according to our guidelines. Please make sure that your photos are not heavily distorted or contain exaggerated or unnatural digital effects. You can always contact us at bumble.com/contact or @BumbleSupport on social media if you want us to have a look at this. 🐝Not what it once was?
I’m so confused to look at all the good reviews I’m wondering if they’re paid. I’ve had the app for a week and filled out every. Single. Thing In my profile even going as far to make an insta because the app made me connect one to “complete my profile”. Well upon completion of my profile I have yet to receive a single “like”. I have swiped right on a ton of individuals that seem to have similar interests as me and have hit a brick wall. I can’t tell you how disheartening it is to repeatedly open the app hoping for just one single match, like, message, just anything and repeatedly be met with nothing. I wouldn’t honestly not bother with this app as all the effort I’ve gone through has been for nothing.Show lessmitch2132

Oh no, we're so sorry to read your review. We understand it can be frustrating not to have the expected results. Please contact our Team at Bumble.com/Contact so we can check if everything is working as it should and even provide some personalized advice. 💛Can’t create account
Whatever method I tried, it wanted me to verify my phone number but never sent me a code. I would have liked to try this app but I couldn’t even sign up.RahS21

I got really excited because I’ve used the first Bumble BFF a few years ago and loved it. I stopped using it cause I felt like I knew enough people and I went on with my life.
I’ve been thinking about downloading it but was hesitant since I’m married and was worried about the dating side of it. Then I saw it was just BFF and got so excited!
Well, I deleted it not long after I set my profile up. I HATE how you have to pay for EVERYTHING. I’m moving soon and wanted to use the travel mode but have to pay for that. It used to not be like that. I really hate this money hungry app now.Show lessNat_Corona420

Bumble for Friends is actually free to use! For those who want to stand out from the crowd, we do offer some paid upgrades but they're completely optional. Don't forget you can always swipe and chat with anyone you match with for free. 💛Eh
