The app is good since it automatically matches you would other people, that’s what the 2 stars are for …however, 8/10 of your matches are scammers/ fake profiles chatting you up only to meet you into ‘teaching’ you on how to invest and make money. The app developers need to do something like OK Cupid where they verified your face/selfie with the photos you have to make sure you are the real deal. Why pay the money only to get match with scammers? Take your dating to another safer and more real app!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience with fake profiles. We're constantly working to improve the app’s safety features and appreciate your suggestion on profile verification. Your input helps us enhance the user experience.CMB doesn’t have any place to indicate gender as something other than male or female. I’m a transmasculine person who has had a double mastectomy and taken testosterone. I still look like a woman, but a breastless one with hairy legs. I’m getting a lot of matches because I look like a “normal” female in pictures, but I’m having lots of awkward conversations with men who expected me to be a normal female. I feel like I get more matches of a similar education level (I have a PhD) with this app, but it’s nearly useless if I can’t indicate myself as what I am. Having uncomfortable conversations over and over where I’m expected to be something I’m not means I have a negative experience most times I open the app.

Thank you for your feedback. We understand how important it is to have inclusive gender options, and we're sorry to hear about your experience. We'll take your suggestion into consideration for future updates to improve the app for everyone.Only reason I’m not giving 5 stars is I haven’t had a date yet but it’s only been a few months maybe. For the first time in long time I feel optimistic after being treated so horribly by all the apps owned by match-group (Hinge, Tinder, Bumble, POF and many more). They banned me for life for being myself. People will rage report profiles on there and just because I’m a veteran and had a picture of myself holding my assigned machine gun. Haven’t tried that picture hear admittedly but the people seem so much more friendly and less spiteful.

We're thrilled to hear that you're having a positive experience on our app. We are committed to improving our service to create more meaningful connections that lead to genuine relationships. Thank you for being a valued member of our community!If you are a woman over 50 dating sites like this are useless because they are teeming with fake pros/scammers.
While the technology exists to make every user verify their profile none of the dating sites have any interest in doing so because fake users artificially inflate their numbers and make it look as if the site is a place to meet attractive men… almost all of them oddly widowers. Big red flag. This and some other tell tale signs makes It take about three seconds to figure out a profile is bogus. It wouldn’t be so bad if there weren’t hundreds, if not, thousands of them.
I am disgusted by this and other sops that could easily thwart scammers but never will. Bye.

Your safety and security are our top priorities, and we are actively working to maintain Coffee Meets Bagel as a safe space for everyone. For other safety concerns, kindly submit a request via the app or website, and we'll be happy to help you out!Even after a subscription you only get 8 likes a month. They also show you accounts that are inactive for more than 3 days so you waste likes on people who aren’t even active. Make sure to check that before liking. Subscription is simply a gateway to buy more product. You get 20% off to buy likes. I’d go anywhere else but here since other premiums let you like more than 8 people a month. Hard to find one good match with only 8 tries.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We understand your concerns about the limitations and appreciate your feedback. Our team is always working to improve the user experience, and we'll take your suggestions into consideration for future enhancements.It’s complete garbage that I cannot message first anymore because as a fairly average looking guy, I am already being discriminated against since most women on apps are choose the same 10-20% of men. This is factual. Where I used to have a chance is the fact that I could use my personality to get women to match with me.
So that feature was taken away, fine. But now they act like I have matches yet never show them to me when I am actually swiping without me paying for premium. It’s like false pretense. Why even show them in the first place when I feel like I am being lied to about the opportunity. Just as much as you attempt to funnel me into buying premium, don’t you think if I had a couple of opportunities that were positive I’m just as likely to want more of them and possibly pay for it anyway, but not only that, also spread positive WOM to others? It’s become impossible for the average person to succeed on these apps without spending. To be clear, I am not against it. But I refuse to if I am being backed into a corner the way you do at an entertainment venue where you pay the price of a case of beer for one glass. This is not that. This should allow people to get some type of genuine experience and then if they want to go full force, they will feel good about doing it and in the long run, will make the app more profitable.

I'm sorry you're feeling this way. We aim to offer a fair experience for all users while balancing our paid features. We understand the frustration when things don't turn out the way we expect. We thank you for your valuable feedback as this helps us improve.CMB is a good place to meet nice people who are looking for a real connection. It’s not as fast paced as other dating apps and has been my go-to when I was looking for a relationship. Over the last 5 years, I’ve had three longterm relationships, and they all started on CMB. My advice to anyone looking to meet someone is to put your best self out there, which includes making your profile look good, and do not be discouraged if you do not match with someone you like immediately. It takes time, like months to years, and many first dates in my experience before you find a person you’re compatible with and where you both want the same thing.
Developer Response
Thanks for sharing your story! We're glad to hear CMB has helped you find meaningful connections. Your advice is spot on—patience and putting your best self out there are key. We wish you continued success in your journey!Almost 5 whole years ago I was sick of the tinder scene and wanted something serious. I was recommended the app by my boss at the time and low and behold I start talking to the first guy I match with. I know it seems crazy/cheesy, but 4 years later he proposed and now, we’re getting married. Your experience might not be the same, but I am forever grateful to this app for bringing me to my person.
Developer Response
Wow, congratulations! 🎉 We're thrilled to hear that CMB played a part in your love story. Wishing you both a lifetime of happiness together! Thanks for sharing your wonderful journey with us.How do they have 4.5 stars I live in a very big city and I see the exact same people day after day. The worst of all dating apps. Every day you see the exact same people from the day before - their data pool of people must be so small and Setting the parameters on your search and it does NOTHING. Their database of people must be very very small. I continually see every day the same people from yesterday. I will never again pay for three months ahead of time on any dating app Hands-down, the worst waste of money I could've bought a big bag of groceries for the money I spent on this garbage

Please submit a support request through the app or our website so we can address these concerns and assist you further. Thank you for your feedback.CMB is really what it was before. You need to pay to see your likes, and barely having matches. And if there’s any, most of the time it’s fake profile or chat bot. Unlike other dating app CMB does not verify the profile using any way. I could not link my old account to the new app, but I decided to give this app a last chance and purchased the platinum membership for 6mo and now I regret it. It is not unlimited suggests, running out of the same filtered profiles in a few days while a few still showing up in the discovery and requiring additional digital currency (the beans) to send a like. This is just not a good practice and scam alike, just trying to get more money out of the user. And I guess this is how a struggling dating app looks like.
