Leave a Review Bumble For Friends
Could be better
I downloaded this app after moving to a new state, and to be fair, I have made a couple of friends using it. To me, two small changes would make this a much better app. 1) Allow people to meet friends of any gender. In real life I have always had friends who were both male and female, and gay and straight. It’s weird and sad that the app restricts who can meet who based on gender. 2) Permit a bit more text in personal descriptions. The limited text doesn’t really allow me to highlight who I am AND what I’m seeking in friendship. This leads to a lot of wasted time and swipes.Show lessHilly7519

Thank you for your suggestion. As stated in our Terms & Conditions, you must be 18 or over to join Bumble For Friends, but we'll forward your request to the dedicated team. 🐝It’s just ok
I think people are a little confused. You are able to see your matches for free, you just can’t see who liked you unless you pay the subscription. Meaning either a)someone liked you and they haven’t shown up on your feed yet, or b)they were briefly in your area and then went out of range so you wouldn’t be able to see them in your feed anymore.
My main issue with this app is that I don’t understand the algorithm. Like why don’t I see everyone all at once and instead just get a few profiles to see every so often? Like why are people appearing 3 hours later instead of before? And why don’t people show up again even after a few weeks? Also, the few matches I do get, people aren’t really willing to have a conversation anyways.Show lessAvaJeremy

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us! New people are joining the app every day. When you see a member who didn't appear before, it is possible that they just joined Bumble For Friends or that they just met your filters. You'll also eventually see again members you already swiped left on. This is to make sure you don't miss any meaningful connections. Feel free to contact us at @BumbleSupport on social media if you have any suggestions that could give us a few more stars. 💛It is showing me only same gender suggestions.
Tried a lot of different filters, but it constantly keeps on suggesting only same gender people. Tired of seeing this. Very bad experience.Anommongus

I think the app is a great idea, although there are a few issues for me. First is having to buy subscription to make friends or message others, the subscription is priced a bit much in my opinion just to have a shot at making a friend. Second I have found my account was blocked this morning, reading other reviews I see that is may be a common problem. I was totally confused and shocked, failing to understand what went wrong. Like the others who wrote reviews , I don’t believe to have violated the terms and conditions at all.Show lessLeviLionBoy

Hi so I am 19 years old and everytime I put in my details I keep getting kicked out because it claims I’m not over 18 years old. How do I fix this. (Is also the same for normal bumble)

I can’t even make any friends on the app because they keep taking down all of my profile pictures, no matter what I do, and even though the pictures obviously do not violate any guidelines. For example: took down a picture of me in a T-shirt with a car and few words on it, and leggings. Took down a picture of me in a full length, loose, long sleeve floral print dress. Took down a picture of be in a black hoodie with a face on it and black leggings and an Alaska hat. Took down a picture of me in a calf length red dress and black boots. Took down two shoulder-up selfies of me. All of these pictures are fully clothed & had no offensive words or suggestive material of any kind.Show lessCrt7lilith

Thanks a lot for your review; we're sorry for the situation. We understand it can be frustrating, but the words on the pictures are considered watermarks. You can find the Guidelines for the photos here: https://bumble.com/en/the-buzz/no-more-mirror-selfies-youre-welcome-folks. Please message our Support Team on Twitter or Facebook (@BumbleSupport) if you want our team can have a look at this. 🐝Too expensive
40$ a month just to view if potential friends liked you. They also offer 20$ a WEEK and so on. This is absurd! They charge outrageously high prices for simple premium features! But despite this it's an ok app. Oh and also they said they moderated my photo because i wrote TEXT on it and that it wasn't "original" It was only a photo of me with little text and they took it down and refused to put it back up.Show lessAppuser842

So I signed out and now it won’t let me sign in. When I press continue with apple it goes through then asks me to type in my phone number, then continues to say “this number is already connected to a bumble account”…. Like… okay? Then let me sign in…. It’s kinda confusing and I don’t know how to get back into my account.Show lesskskskjsididjdjs
