### 3/5 — Dump the Capcha

*2026-08-18*

The app is OK, though there aren’t many men close to me, in a major American city. Mostly though, I won’t be renewing my subscription because I hate having to complete a Capcha on the phone and iPad every time I log in. It’s a deal-breaker.

### 1/5 — Joining

*2025-12-30, version 4.4.7*

I downloaded the app but it won’t let me beyond user name and birthdate. Oh well.

### 1/5 — Klappt nicht

*2025-11-26*

Kann nicht mal ein Profil anlegen dann bringt die App auch null

### 1/5 — Still a scam haven

*2025-11-19, version 4.4.7*

Despite the rebrand the app is still full of scam profiles.  So disappointing. It used to be great.

### 1/5 — Sad

*2025-11-09, version 4.4.7*

Instantly saying my birthday is invalid? The month of January was invalid?

### 1/5 — Beware

*2025-11-09*

Been on for two weeks, dozen or so responses. profiles look ok, but every single guy has pressured me to take the conversation off the app.  Even when I updated my profile to say specifically I wouldn't do that.  the guy today almost got me, he chatted well for four hours, I could tell I'd been softened up and passed up to a different handler, tone of convo suddenly changed and the hard press started.  I will be deleting my profile.  Beware!!!

### 1/5 — Can’t even create account

*2025-10-24, version 4.4.7*

Tried to create an account and it gets stuck in a loop going from birthday to user name over and over. Doesn’t say much the app.

### 1/5 — Buggy app, no help or response

*2025-10-12, version 4.4.7*

I cannot enter my birthdate. It continues to say that my birthdate is not valid.

### 4/5 — A revoir

*2025-09-09*

Comme sur tous les sites :des stars des gens sans politesses le site ne créer aucunes obligations hors payer un abonnement C est bien dommage des photos bien anciennes  âge frauduleux   Bref

### 1/5 — app does not work

*2025-06-11, version 4.4.5*

this dating app does not allow you to sign up

### 1/5 — Log in

*2025-06-11*

Can’t log in

### 2/5 — I quit when site posted first 5 contacts on profiles

*2025-05-08, version 4.4.2*

Tumbleweed.  Site owner wet the bed when it was decided that the first 5 profiles
in users’ contacts were one day automatically posted publicly  to each profile.  Without warning or chance to opt out.  What a short-sighted decision and a lame assumption that anyone want any of their contacts list to be visible to just anyone passing by.  Not even 5 profiles picked by users, just the first listed in you contacts.  Such a shame, because this site seemed so much more community-oriented than its main competitor at the time and now hardly anyone seems to recall what the whole “bear” thing was about beyond “gay + beard” that seems about as clear a definition exists today.

### 1/5 — stupid

*2024-12-30, version 4.4.1*

im 33 and my birthday is not valid

### 1/5 — Very buggy app

*2024-12-22*

Lots of issues. Basic functionality (like scrolling through messages) often freezes. 

Messages show unread notifications even though all messages are read. 

Come on devs. Please do better. This app is barely useable. Look at the poor ratings.

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry for the inconvenience on our dating app. Due to a large influx of new members, our servers are down. We are in the process of migrating our servers to new, more robust servers. This should be operational within 10 to 15 days as it takes time to change the entire infrastructure. On behalf of the team, please accept my apologies. Best regards. Gregory

### 3/5 — I gave it a try

*2024-06-27*

Unfortunately the app won’t let me upload pics from my phone even after I give permission to access my albums… I tried contacting customer service at least on 2 separate occasions and have not heard back. Im only able to load pics I take in the moment. 

Otherwise the app looks good but wish I could access the pics I want to share.

**Developer response:** Hello, sorry for the inconvenience on our dating app. We have updated it recently. Make sure you have the latest version. Can you keep us informed? Take care. Best regards. Gregory

### 1/5 — Notification aren’t working!

*2024-06-23, version 4.1.1*

I keep missing messages until I open the app again. Notifications are non-existent

### 1/5 — Distance is messed up

*2024-05-25, version 4.0.103*

People that are actually in my area show up thousands of miles away

### 2/5 — Buggy, Crashes, Inaccurate

*2024-05-21*

Most of the guys show up as more than 500,000 miles away from me. Maybe this app is for people on the moon. It crashes almost constantly. It shows people online, but I never get any kind of interaction really. I even tried the "boost" for $2.99 and nothing. Waste of time.  The app either freezes or closes every few minutes.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The app is broken

*2026-07-03, version 4.5.7*

Tryna create a account but there’s always a error

### 1/5 — Awful

*2026-05-16*

I tried to register without the app at first, but that wasn’t possible with my iPad, birthdate numbers would not scroll.  So…the app.  Good grief!  It took over and decided that I must to use my iPad in portrait mode.  No way!  I thought that ill mannered apps were a thing of the past, but apparently not.  Deleted.

### 1/5 — it's a waste of time

*2026-03-10*

The application is terrible!!! I have created my account and it has closed it for no reason !!! I have tried to access again even renewing my password and it denies me access!! Anyway, don't download it, it's a waste of time!!

### 1/5 — This site died in 2012

*2026-03-10*

The app is useless. And still full of spam. No promo to get people back

### 1/5 — Useless

*2026-02-28, version 4.4.11*

Not possible to edit profile nor send photos, or upload photos - nothing. Another useless app.

### 1/5 — App crash

*2026-02-23, version 4.4.11*

It did not let me continue making a profile, did not accept email

### 1/5 — Never Got In

*2026-01-19, version 4.4.7*

I tried to sign up, but I can’t get past the terms of use. I read it all. I like it. I press continue and it goes back to create a username. I did that like three times back-and-forth I give up. Lots of issues i see. Hmmm

### 1/5 — Can’t Sign Up

*2026-01-13, version 4.4.7*

I can’t even get past the screen to set up my account. The button to continue doesn’t work even after entering all my info correctly.

### 1/5 — Can’t create an account

*2026-01-09, version 4.4.7*

Have tried multiple times to create an account. 
Enter user name, then enter birthday and click to accept terms. Then it takes me back to enter the username and then back to birthday and accept terms. Then it takes me back to enter the username and then back to birthday and accept terms. Then the cycle keeps happening until I get annoyed and close the app.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t even work

*2026-01-07, version 4.4.7*

Can’t even set up a profile. Says my birthdate is invalid but there is no other way to enter it. Change the date, loops to the page creating username.

*2024-05-22, version 4.0.103*

Hot bears love a hairy to bear

### 5/5 — Intuitif

*2024-05-01*

Depuis le rachat de Bear, après le remaniement du site pour harmoniser avec d’autres applis du groupe, il y eu énormément de bugs et vous avez au passage perdu nombre de clients Aujourd’hui, certaines fonctionnalités n’existent plus ou sont moins pratiques : Localiser un participant Avoir un historique des contacts Voir les admirateurs de ce contact Et cette pudibonderie sur qquechose qui n’est rien d’autres qu’un site de rencontres sexe !!!

### 5/5 — Bear

*2024-04-29*

Souvent on peux pas bien écrire  car ça bug souvent  du coup je viens pas souvent  car on vois pas tout le mondes à part d être un abonné mais du coup ça donne pas envie de resté au vu des bug 
 Je viens juste faire un cou et répondre au message mais c est tout

### 5/5 — By Jimmy

*2024-04-01*

### 5/5 — Barre jaune demandant de s’abonner pour voir un profile

*2023-07-25*

Cette barre pourrit le site surtout pour un viel habitué que paie a Corexo un abonnement. Merci de remédier à ce défaut. Bien à vous Roland Chadwick

### 5/5 — Depuis le changement

Depuis le changement le site est devenu moi accessible donc je le consulte bcp moins 
Dommage

This is a site that has been around for a long time, but is always evolving and improving. It’s current edition is user-friendly, colorful and impactful.

### 5/5 — Bearwww redevient l’App de rencontre pour les Bears

*2023-01-19*

Update 18 janvier 2023: Ouf ! Enfin Bearwww reprend du poil de la bête, donc 5 étoiles ! Nous retrouvons avec cette mise à jour les options de recherches à sauvegarder avec de nombreux critères, un semblant de livre d’or consultable que par l’utilisateur, les distances de nouveau affichées, dommage que l’on ne puisse pas encore rendre public des photos privées et inversement ou les ajouter à un album privé sans devoir les télécharger à nouveau. Mais je répète Ouf, nous retrouvons presque l’âme de Bearwww!

**Developer response:** Cher FabZeOuf, , nous sommes désolés d'apprendre que vous avez une mauvaise expérience avec notre application. Vos commentaires sont importants pour nous et ont été notés. Notre équipe travaille à l'amélioration des performances de notre application. Une nouvelle version entièrement revue sera lancé courant du mois. Amitiés
