### 1/5 — Can't even sign up

*2023-10-01*

Tried 3 different ways to sign up. All failed. Said my email was the wrong format or "something went wrong" when creating a password

### 3/5 — Good

*2023-09-20*

When it was actually working, it was à fantastic app. I would have given 5 stars. It’s no longer working & there’s no app support to contact.

### 2/5 — New update terrible

*2022-07-12, version 1.10.3*

The new update has made the app much worse. You can no longer easily see all the places on your list on the map. Instead it shows this useless “heat map” of other peoples spots. Terrible update! Please go back to how it was before.

### 3/5 — Needs A Good Map

*2022-04-03, version 1.9.2*

The concept of this app is really strong and the social aspect has great potential but I found it very hard to navigate spatially through the lists. For example if you look at all the vintage stores in London listed by people on Bimble you have not clue where they are in the city unless you save them and check each one at a time. It would be really useful to integrate the lists on a map so you can see which spots are in your area. You would gave the upset hand if you did this. For example right now if you were let’s say at the barbican for a morning event and wanted to get lunch afterwards you would check for lunch spots on yelp or google maps. Neither are curated options. If Bimble were to integrate the map into the app you would provide users with really well curated lists based on your very specific location. Discovery is always fun too though but feels less useful.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks so much for your review. Good news, we have now released the Bimble map! Great minds..... I hope you enjoy it!

### 1/5 — Create profile UI not working

*2021-11-29, version 1.8.12*

Whenever I click on join bimble to create profile, UI doesnt work to enter any information. Clicks dont work. I cant enter any information. Weird, basic step doesnt work- not sure if its a legit app.

**Developer response:** Hi, we have been trying to get to the bottom of this issue which was affecting a small number of users and we have now understood that there is an incompatibility with a specific iphone setting for a certain iOS version. I was told by our developers today that they have now fixed it, so it will come in our next update, next week. I'm sorry it took so long!

### 1/5 — Tele verification is annoying anyway

*2021-10-31, version 1.8.10*

Telephone verification code won’t send

### 2/5 — Love the concept

*2021-10-28, version 1.8.10*

Love to travel and love this concept.  Will keep you posted

### 2/5 — Great idea but not user friendly

*2021-10-23, version 1.8.10*

I was so excited to download this app - what a great idea!  But after a few minutes of trying to navigate it was just not intuitive and easy to use. Please update entirely. I’m not an app designer but it needs work. I would love to give this another go if it were redesigned.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much for your frank feedback. I now have some relevant answers for you: we are reworking the design at the moment and there will be a series of significant updates coming over the coming weeks, starting with a great interactive map feature. I hope to see you back on the platform soon!

### 1/5 — Messy app, no global content

*2021-10-20, version 1.8.10*

I was hoping to be able to move my 30 or so lists with hundreds of places from Google Maps to Bimble but there seems to be mostly UK content. Not much in the rest of Europe or North America outside of NYC, or if there is, the discovery mechanism is poor. I don’t care who makes a list, I care about their profile and taste, and areas where they are experts. Most lists are super generic and don’t seem to go beyond popular spots with nothing special at all. There’s no audience so I’m not going to bother.

**Developer response:** Hi, thank you for your useful feedback. I am circling back now as we are getting ready to release a big update in February which will make it simple and quick for you to find the places people are saving near you and then you can follow the creators you enjoy and keep up to date with profiles that are relevant to you. I hope this will answer your main concerns effectively!

### 1/5 — Conceptually Cool, execution poor

*2021-10-14, version 1.8.10*

The app idea is pretty awesome. Pretty disappointing that after downloading none of your text fields to join work. Not very useful if you can register. Bug fixes needed.

**Developer response:** Hi, Thanks so much for bringing this to our attention, it seems to be a new bug happening on certain devices or iOS versions. We have had 3 reports over the last few days on this. If you could email me (julia@bimble.com) to say which phone and which iOS version you are using, that would be enormously helpful. Then I will be able to let you know as soon as it is fixed.
