Too restrictive

I know these apps keep restrictions to make people want to pay for the features. But this is way too restrictive. I wish it was more flexible, and then I was able to actually like people in my discovery without have to use the in app currency that I have to use real money to buy. So not only are you buying the beans, you also would have to pay 20 dollars a month. That's four dollars less than my Netflix bill and this app ain't no Netflix 💀 I would love to find a match for myself on these apps, but it's difficult if you're someone like me who doesn't want to pay to find love. I don't like that I have to wait until noon everyday to get more potential matches. I had higher hopes from what I heard, but this app feels like I'm standing in a 1x1 square box.

Best dating app!

I love this app. Recommend it. First, unlike other dating apps that forced me paying for membership, this app totally let me use for free, with some restrictions but FREE. I didn’t pay a single penny. Second, high quality of members. I wished I knew about this app sooner, so I didn’t have to waste my money on other dating apps!!! But then I wouldn’t meet my wonderful bf now. I’ll tell everyone I know about “Coffee meets bagel” and willing to do free advertising for them from now on. I own this app a favor. Best dating app! ❤️💕

Seems Impossible to Use for Free

I get gatekeeping features, but it does feel nearly impossible to get matches on the free version. You can see a handful of profiles to like each day. I know it’s not worth paying for premium based on the reviews and know I’d only be disappointed seeing my likes. I don’t know why but it also really rubs me the wrong way that the refer to people as bagels, it feels really dehumanizing and makes it feel like it’s not real people on the app. Ironically reading reviews it does sound like there’s a lot of fake profiles and to me “bagels” feels like something you’d call a fake account. Wanted to like this, but think if they want to keep this alive will need to do some serious reconsidering.

CMB great way to meet people

I’ve had a couple relationships that were long term but no more than a year. It’s challenging to date for me because I’m neurodivergent, taking a break from driving since last year and have chronic migraines. I definitely need and want someone who will understand all this and my past experiences because I’ve been through a lot. Thank you for creating an app that’s safe for women to use.

Dead app

This app is totally dead. too much scam in this app. It used to be a good one then they changed their strategy to make it totally money oriented app.

Doesn’t have enough users

This app doesn’t see to be able to attract enough female users at a fast enough rate to support a match-making environment. Even in a high population city (Dallas TX), I seem to have ran out of female accounts to view after only a few weeks of light use. Now I’m at the “bottom of the barrel”, where I’m only show 2-5 accounts per day that are wildly outside my filter criteria. I regret paying for a membership, because there’s not enough profiles to make anything happen. Other apps are better because you can play the numbers game, but that’s not possible here.

Fake profiles/ Scams

I have been matched with a lot off Asian men since they are my type and we both send a like and we start a chat for about a day then they ask you if you have WhatsApp. Then we start a chat for a few days they are nice to you in the beginning. You ask questions they reply but if you want to know more about them they cut you off with some other conversation. Little by little they start talking to you about financial stuff like they want to help you for your retirement and help you make more money. I caught on right away but I played there game to see how far they will go. And they start being hostile and saying you have to do what I say. I always replied I am not comfortable talking about financial stuff and they will tell you that you don’t trust them they even do video calls with you. Every single person I was matched with about 16 men CMB sent me an email that they were reported. For all the women out there be careful who you get matched with most off the men I chatted with were very handsome and the profile photos are fake there background is always somewhere traveling. A good hint to check if it’s really or not the pictures will look more normal like a in there own home or somewhere more natural. It’s a disappointment to pay all this money and most of them are fake I recommend to CMB to be more careful on who is in there platform. Because a lot a woman get scammed by them.

Waste of money. Don’t bother

This app is only trying to scam people by buying a membership. You only get a few flowers. The compatible matches. Are awful. if you put a dealbreaker at all their algorithm doesn’t even care and still sends you people that you do not want to talk to. When you try to ask questions to their AI chat thing useless.. I only get the app as long as I did because I wasted my money and paid for 3 months. I would say eight out of 10 people were fake. If you X’ed someone because you wanted to pass they’d show up in your compatible list again the next day. AWFUL!!!

Newest app doesn’t allow email login

Needed to uninstall/reinstall CMB due to display bugs. Upon reinstalling, CMB doesn’t allow email login or FB login and didn’t link my phone number before removing login through either method. This is poor planning and a poor user experience. Why would you push an update that locks out users and not notify them or provide a method to transition to the new login system? Also, what’s up with the UI stuck in 2010? Bumble and Hinge have much better UI, CMB seriously needs to step their game up. Really disappointed with this experience as a current Premium member.
