Not safe

Worst app that I ever use.
Not female friendly

Needs some work!

Do you want to create connections or prevent matches from ever happening?

It shouldn’t be a premium feature just to see who liked me, even the last like (Tinder and Hinge at least lets you see the last person who liked you without charging people!).

Error: there’s two sections for school and degree yet I can’t put in my college diploma with my bachelors, it makes that jump between bachelors degree to high school diploma etc.. let people spell their school without having to select from a list because some people may have completed school in a different city, or country.

No wonder this app isn’t as successful/popular, please do better.

No

I heard about good things about this but It does not have enough people online and hard to get quality matches. They charged a lot and you can only like several so imagine for people who don’t pay, how long you would get a match

Banning one’s account without any reason

Account being frozen so suddenly and permanently banned even all identity verification documents were submitted. Won’t recommend this app to anyone who wants a serious relationship. You don’t even know when you will banned and lose your account. One star is too much would like to give a zero.

pay to win

you won’t get anything even using it for months, it’s useless, you will have to pay

One month only

If I put that I’m gay and only want to match with men , why are half of the suggestions I get for women? Very disappointed in this app!

Most Cat fishing and scamming!

I paid for this app over Hinge, and so far I have been matched with three (six as of November 03) fake profiles. That’s the most fake profiles I have ever found on any single dating website/app! It’s incredible, but I’m super disappointed that I actually paid for this experience. what I will say is that I usually play along with the scammers, for quite a while, because it’s entertaining. Even after I get the email from CMB telling me that they’ve been reported. I like to see how far they will take it. But it’s disappointing that I’m actually having to pay for this type of entertainment. I wish I would’ve paid for Hinge instead. I don’t pay for that app and I’ve met a couple of cool people there just know chemistry. Not sure what you have to do, CMB, but you need to work on getting rid of the scammers. maybe more verification via photos or something. IDK. But I’m super disappointed that I chose this app to pay for over Hinge. Especially since this app posts it’s for serious daters. As a sidenote, there are very minimal profiles worth matching with. Somehow, the ones that are suggested or recommended to me are people I would never date, and are completely outside of my filters/preferences. I’m not sure that the app is actually doing the work it should be doing. I am convinced the app was made for and buy scammers.

Reasonably priced and effective

Hey I tried a few of the main stream apps before trying CMB and I can say it’s reasonably priced without constantly having to pay for updates. I got consistent matches and it was easy to connect with them. I met someone pretty great after just a few weeks so I think it’s pretty effective! Great job CBM team, keep it up!

Stale bagel and no coffee in sight

I previously gave this app a poor review a couple years ago after terrible luck. Thankfully shortly afterwards things picked up and I did have a handful of good dates. But it’s been over a year since CMB has matched me with anyone.

I had premium for six months, from February through August. I started getting promotions asking me to pay more to upgrade to an even higher tier. And I stopped getting matches. So I dropped my subscription and went free again.

Pretty much immediately I got notified that someone had liked me, but only premium users can see their likes without waiting for them to appear in the limited daily suggestions. I was skeptical on the timing but figured I’d hold out and see this person eventually. It has been over two months and every day I get a notification to check my bagels — and someone likes you! — with that mystery bagel’s profile picture. But I’ve never been shown the profile. After two months I submitted a support ticket to clarify if this was an error or if they’ve actually made it impossible for free users to see likes. I got an instant bot reply saying my question was already answered and my ticket was closed.

So yeah… pretty sure that person isn’t real, and pretty sure you can’t get meaningful matches anymore without paying for top tier (and even then… good luck!). I’m out.

No matches for 3 months straight

Wrote a review after I’d been on it for about a month, writing this now that I’ve been on the app longer. It took me about a month to get my first match. I have just crossed three whole months of using the app daily with literally zero matches. (Using as a male seeking female by the way.) On other apps I get a handful of matches per week, so I’m not sure why this one is so lacking. I have spent a very small amount of cash buying “beans” for the flower (superlike) but not very much, and have set my distance to 100 miles, because anything smaller and I’d only get one or two recommended profiles a day. There do appear to be quality profiles in the “discover” section (that being about the only reason I’m not rating one star), but really no way to interact with them without spending money. Wholly dissatisfied with this experience and would definitely recommend other apps over this one.
