I’ve given this app a try for a second time and I do have a friend who found her husband, married 4 years fom this app.. the downside is that there’s not a lot of diversity, it’s mostly Asian men. If that’s what you’re looking for then this is the app for you. Other apps have more diversity hence my rating. Based on my dealbreakers above only had one person o matched with based on my preference in the 30 days of trying out the app again. That’s it. My suggestions are people I’d never date, people who don’t share my same religious background or want kids, it’s a waste of both our time to meet if we know what we are truly looking for.
I hope in time this app gets more subscribers, it’s super easy to use and the idea of bagels in your inbox everyday is fun and less off putting that the hours you could easily spend scrolling through other apps to find people of interest.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. We're glad your friend found success and appreciate your honest feedback. We understand the importance of diversity and precise matches. We're continuously working to improve and hope you find better matches soon. Your input helps us make CMB better for everyone.Is this the same CMB just “new”?! ‘Cause it seems like the same exact app as the old one, as in, equally ignoring my dating preferences that I’ve spent time carefully adding into the app. The same app that shows my profile to people outside of my preferences, so I get likes from people I decidedly DO NOT want. I guess it is. Which, for the record, if the CMB product managers understood their jobs, would know that it actually harms the people who “like” my profile assuming I’m interested in their profile; I’m not. I WILL *NEVER* PAY FOR AN APP THAT OUTRIGHT IGNORES MY STATED PREFERENCES, SHOWING MY PROFILE TO PEOPLE I HAVE ZERO INTEREST IN DATING. NEVER.

We’re sorry to hear that your experience with the new app hasn’t met your expectations. We understand how important it is for preferences to be respected. Please submit a support request through the app or our website so we can look into this issue and work to improve your experience. Your feedback is valuable, and we appreciate you sharing it with us. Thank you.They make it SEEM like free users can get SOME value, with optional paid extras.
Not true anymore. Now, if you’re a free user:
• Every person you Like BLOCKS that person from ever seeing you. Yes, really. Explained below.
• Every person who Likes you is BLOCKED from ever appearing to you. Yep!
All you do when you Like someone is send an ad to that person saying “someone liked you, pay to find out who!”
All your effort is SELLING IAPs, not selling yourself!
ONLY paid users can see who liked them.
So should you pay then? No, SO many of the profiles are fakes and scams, and THEY are the ones doing the mass Liking. You HAVE to pay to find out if the Like is from a real person. Save your time and money.
As everyone knows, using dating apps is usually not a fun experience. That being said, I have found that people on CMB are generally more serious about dating than those on other apps.
Good luck out there!

We're glad to hear you've had a positive experience with CMB! Our community values serious connections, and we're thrilled it's worked well for you. Good luck on your dating journey!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 I love you 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
The worst and most basic user base of all the big apps, with some astoundingly weird design decisions. until you match with someone you never see their name/handle, only their … job title! There is freeform text but it comes after a bunch of generic stuff so if you want to see any evidence of a personality it's somewhat hidden. And different parts of the app let you filter by different criteria, even if you pay—bizarre.

We're sorry to hear about your frustrations. We're continuously working to improve our app's design and user experience. Your feedback on the user base and app dynamics is valuable to us as we strive to make meaningful connections easier.I’ve only used this app for a few weeks but my experience has been a little frustrating. Mostly with that filters for who you want in your results are completely ignored. For example part of my settings is no one above the age of 30, but for the last few days the group it released are all above 30 and the oldest was 38 which is a huuuuuge leap from where I said I’m comfortable with. It does the same with distance. My only guess on distance and possibly the age filters being ignored is lack of local users, but I would rather be shown one profile that matches my filters than eight that do not.
My second irk but it’s more of just a joke is the pop up to pay for a $200 premium account that’s always going on discount for a price that’s still no where justifiable. If you can’t get a good experience for free why would I bother to spend money?

We apologize for the frustration you've experienced with our filters and pricing. Your feedback on these issues is important to us, and we're working to improve our matching accuracy and user experience. We understand your concerns about the value of premium features and are constantly evaluating our pricing structure. Please reach out to our support team with specific details so we can assist you further.I have used CMB for 3 years and always favored it and had many memorable connections through it, for which I am thankful. But recent new update is concerning for me: (1) photos seem to be more compressed than before, losing original color and becoming more blurry; (2) rearranging photos changed from insertion to swap, making it take longer for me to arrange. Why? (3) Platinum features did not bring me more likes. All three areas point to cost cutting and profit seeking that sacrifice user experience. If this continues, this platform will find its way out.

We appreciate your loyalty and feedback. We're constantly evolving our platform to enhance user experience, including photo quality and app features. Your concerns are noted, and we're committed to balancing improvements with user feedback.Their dating site doesn't seem to have many customers. Within two days, I only received one person connecting with me. I joined a different dating site and had within two days 70 people connecting with me. I use the exact same description of myself, and the exact same.
For my blog, I decided to try out all of the different dating apps myself, and see which one actually works. I regretfully did a three month subscription at $106 and literally had only one connection in two days on the website. What a total waste of money.
The best one was hinge. The second was tinder, and the third was bumble, but the absolute worst was coffee and bagels. I'm sure Apple will pull down this review if I go any further, but I do not recommend coffee and bagels to anyone whatsoever. I recommend hinge. And here's why. I contacted the bagel people and they don't reply. I couldn't restore my purchases so I paid $106 for nothing. Let me say that again I paid $106 to an app that won't let me restore my purchases and the bagel people could care less they don't contact me back and Apple completely supports their position. They don't look out for the little guy anymore. Total joke 👎👎
I tried CMB for 3 months and was able to go out on a few dates. Unfortunately, I didn’t find anyone for a lasting relationship. This app could work if you don’t have a lot of preferences. For me, I wanted someone with same spiritual beliefs and many times the algorithm would send me the same guys over again. The app feels pretty easy to use and conversations expire after a few days. The premium is too expensive and not worth the money. If you must, buy only the 1 month premium. I am planning on deleting this app & trying a different one.
