I wanted to hate
I am a long term bumble user! Met my fiancé on the dating version and have met amazing friends since bumble bff became a thing! I spent a lot of money on the previous app I love bumble I wanted to hate this app because it does remind me of threads but it’s not bad at all!! You still have the same access but it’s even better because there’s a variety of people to scroll through!
They have group chats you can join for different hobbies and so far it’s people all over the world. All the people you match with become your friends and people from the groups can request to add you as a friend. You can decline and nothing bad happens. This is really cute and completely reinvents anything like it! You can make plans on a large scale and join them for people like me that suck at plan making
Thank you bumble you’ve given me a lot of my community and I’m excited to create even more connections 😊😊❤️

Bring back the old version!
I’m so sad, I really miss the way the app was before
Don’t bother
Absolute garbage app.
Disappointed
Please change the ui back to what it was like in the old app! What was the point of changing the whole entire app from what it was? As multiple others are saying it is now less user friendly and nothing like the original app which was very simple to use. When I tried to export my friends from the other app it always says nothing was imported and I don’t know how to fix this so I’ve just lost all of my conversations and friends from the other app. Also it keeps giving me people from Lebanon Kansas on my main feed even though i live in Canada and my settings are set within a few kms from me? Like what? I beg of you change it back to the original and everyone will be happy again 🙏

Privacy Concerns, Deleted my Account Immediately
I've been using the old BFF app for many years to make new friends in several cities, but I will stop using BFF entirely if this new app replaces it. This new app isn't compatible with the way I make friends.
After importing my profile from the old BFF app, I immediately deleted my account on the new app because I didn't feel safe.
(1) The app shows my granular location down to my neighbourhood. I don't want strangers to see exactly where I live or travel within a city.
(2) All my old matches seem to have received an automated message that I have joined the new app. This is very awkward if a former friend and I have stopped talking. I wish there was a way to preserve the swiping history without sending an automated message to all my past matches.
(3) I can't find the option to enable Incognito Mode, which is the reason I had
paid for the previous app.
Please keep the old app. I won’t be using BFF at all if I must transition to this new app. The features that made me feel safe initiating one-on-one connections in the old BFF app seem to have disappeared in the new app. The new app seems like a big privacy risk for younger women.

Trash
The old bumble BFF was way better because it was easier to get matches and I noticed that I was matching with a lot more potential friends and people more willing to talk and hang out this app I’ve had for 2 years now and I still haven’t made not one meaningful connection that has even made it off of the app. Most girls stop responding after a few messages and it never leads into texting or going out. I barely get any matches on here and it’s way less productive than the old version. Definitely will be deleting this today

Inferior version of original app
Very disappointed to see that bumble has switched their interface to be more like discord than an app actually focused on building friendship, as someone who has made many friends from the old app I’m sad to see it go, but I used the new app and I can say that it’s not very user friendly. 1. The app is very confusing to navigate, there’s a people section, a handshake wave and a group section that can be confusing to new users and looks very disorganized in comparison to the old app, it’s very busy. 2. It’s hard to find local groups in my city, whenever I try to search my city in the groups section nothing pops up I have to find the groups on other peoples profiles, which makes me wonder if they want people to meet up at all. 3. No option to filter by common interests, I don’t have a way to make friends that align with my principles and no way to filter out traits I don’t want in a friend. 4. Very focused on group engagement and less emphasis on one on one friendships, the key ways I was able to make friends off the old app was through the one on one chats, with the emphasis on group chats it will be difficult to make friends in a 100 people moderated group. 5. Feels very unnecessary as there was nothing wrong with the original app and was very well known, now it will take months or even years to get people to move to this new app. 6. I imagine many people won’t move to this new app as there’s already a discord and other apps that are the same thing.

What a cool activity
How about we do 5K with a dance party after in Malibu.
Horrible UI
The UI is horrible so far its a big change from the last version and its just not good! Plz bring back the old app
Avis
Je préfère l’ancienne version. C’était plus facile de faire des amis, mais maintenant…
New App is horrible!
Why change the old Bumble Friends interface if going to be worse.? Old one was intuitive, easy to use and didn’t have bugs . I have uninstalled the new BFF app multiple times since moved us to this new app. And now I’m done! If going to change things give us improvements Update: when was trying to turn off notifications and it wouldn’t stop I was done. Deleted the account. Why did you guys ruin a good app when had Bumble Friends? 😭

Please contact me
I’ve been trying to reach out to you about your app not working. My phone tells me your website is malicious when I try to submit a request to BFF help. Is this app legit? Someone please help.
you can’t create an account
you can’t even create an account on this app nowadays. there is ALWAYS an ‘error’ where ‘something went wrong, please try again’ when i try to verify my phone number. it makes no sense. i have deleted the app, restarted my phone, i have done everything yet i cannot verify my REAL phone number to use the app. nothing works!
i used the app back in 2023 and actually made friends, but ended up deleting it. i have moved since then and now i can’t even use it. you need to FIX your app so people can actually USE IT!

Great Layout
I love how there’s six main photos and an option to add an extra 18 photos that don’t need to include your face. I feel like I can show a larger range of my interests and personality! Being able to write custom tags is fun too and makes every page feel personal. I also like that it doesn’t have you reject people so you don’t experience scarcity when finding a friend. All in all love this version of bumble bff!

Strict and strange guidelines
They removed a photo of me recreationally shooting a weapon at a weapon range. That’s nonsense. Weapons exist in America for recreational purposes. Photos of weapons don’t harm people, real weapons do.
Verification broken
I rearranged my photos ONCE and now the app refuses to verify any of my photos and has locked me out of making plans. I have NEVER had a positive experience using this companies products and this is the last time I will. Waste of time and energy
Please bring the old filters back
Ever since the new bumble bff app it's been very hard to make friends with same backgrounds or religious the app is very boring
Bad
Only can find same gender friends? What idiot made this app lol
Worst App Support
For months now I have not been able to log in to my account. I have never had this issue before so I am going to assume it’s a banning issue. I have not done anything wrong so I reached out to bumble bff support to ask about the issue. They responded saying someone from the team would get to me and then they never did. I followed up again and no response. Weeks later they sent me email instructions that were useless and said if I do not respond immediately they would close my case. So I responded stating that the instructions were not addressing the issue and I have been ghosted ever since. I have emailed them multiples times and have been ignored every single time. I’m highly disappointed in the service and wish I could have received a valid answer.
