Wait; what happened?!

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.

Location Segregation

I’ve checked the CMB support pages. CMB is segregating everyone with a +1 phone number. So nearly everyone with a US, Canada, or Caribbean phone number will have to get a new phone line in another country, create a new international Apple account to download the *worldwide* version of CMB, and switch their Apple account and phone content whenever they travel to other countries just to use CMB. Ridiculous.

EDIT: No, I refuse to sign up for Premium. I’m in Asia for 6 months while my location is stuck in Chicago thanks to your stupid policy.

Thank you for sharing your concerns. We understand that this can be frustrating, and we appreciate your feedback. We’ll pass this along to our team as we strive to improve the user experience across all regions.

Scam!

Scam! This app is designed to collect as much of your $$ as they can, in return, you’ll get a messed algorithm where straights are matched to gays and the other way around. They’ll keep offering you their stupid beans in order to keep chatting with someone even if you are in the highest subscription tier. For example, they charged me for a regular membership and didn’t send me any suggestions only to suggest that I upgrade to the highest level, which I did. Surprise surprise they kept both the $70+ and the $90+ (no refund is allowed). Yet, they are still trying to send my the silly beans every day. And, still no dates suggestions.

Not for me

I am incredibly disappointed with this dating app. It’s overpriced, ineffective, and easily one of the worst I’ve ever tried. The subscription fees are unreasonably high, and for what? The features are minimal, and the user experience is frustrating. Despite being marketed as one of the best, it fails to deliver on even the most basic expectation. It looks like this application is mostly for Asian and Indian people.
I genuinely don’t understand how this app can be considered top-tier when it feels like a complete waste of time and money. I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone.

App for catfish and scam

Profiles on the app re mostly scams (Hinge or Bumble are better)

Too many scammers and fake accounts

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.

Lacking gender options

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.

Better than the other apps by far

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.

For God’s sakes verify your users

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.
