Disappointing

I have never written an app review before but the level of disappointment I’ve experienced has lead me to leave one. The “upgrade” is not good, and I’m someone who enjoys new, but this isn’t it. The old bumble bff was easy to navigate, there was a feature you could build groups, it was visually clean. This one is cluttered, lacks clarity and makes being on it overwhelming, it’s not comfortable to navigate. Y’all fumbled this one. I’ve deleted my account and have decided to kick it old school and go into the wild to meet people irl. So I guess thanks for that.

not loading

i used to love bumble bff but since switching to a whole new app it’s been unusable. i cannot use it because the verification page does not load

Not real

Only allowed to see a few people day even though groups reveal there’s actually hundreds in your area they don’t show you. They curate who you see and don’t see. It’s not real.

Meh

The idea that an emotionally gifted man wouldn’t prefer women as friends is insane to me. You don’t get to make that call, Bumble.

Will not let me open an account

Can not make an account . I put in my phone number. Then it sends me a verification code. It keeps saying something’s going wrong in error.
