### 5/5 — I like

*2026-08-18, version 2.105.2*

Yes

### 5/5 — 우수학생 선정 기준이 뭔가요

*2026-08-17*

요즘 저희 동네에서 유행하는 앱이 범프입니다 근데 자신 학교에 들어가면 우수학생같은 순위가 있습니다. 근데 애들끼리 우수학생 선정기준에 대해 많이 유추를 해보았지만 결국 알아내지 못 했습니다. 이 리뷰를 읽고 저희의 의문점을 알려주세요!👍

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요, 5성급 평가 정말 감사합니다 🌟 학교 Bump 리더보드에서 순위를 올리려면 Bump를 사용하는 학교 친구들과 더 많이 연결하세요! Top Students 리더보드는 상호 학교 연결을 기준으로 순위를 매깁니다. 하지만 네트워크를 의미 있고 안전하게 유지하려면 개인적으로 아는 사람만 추가하세요 💜

### 5/5 — 물어볼게 있습니다 제가 상대방 화면을 터치해서 위치를 보고있다가 거기서 파란샏 검은색 흰색이 섞인 손 두개가 왔다갔다 하다가 사라졋는데 무슨 의미져??

*2026-08-16*

ㅇㅇ

**Developer response:** 안녕하세요! 5성급 평가 감사합니다 😘 67% 배터리 애니메이션처럼 보이는데, 더 자세히 확인하고 확실히 알려드릴 수 있도록 love@amo.co로 스크린샷을 보내주세요 🫶 - Bump의 Nhi 드림

### 1/5 — 広告が最悪

*2026-08-15*

まずTikTokで現在流れている広告。いくら宣伝しようと思っても他のアプリを下げてまで宣伝するようなアプリは普通誰も入れたくはないし、それは運営も少なからずコメントであれだけ書かれているしアプリのレビューでも書かれているので分かっているはず。なのにレビューを一通りみると評価が高いレビューやアプリに関しての不具合に対しては返事をしているくせに広告のことを書いているレビューに対しては一つも返信がなく、投稿されてからあまり時間が経っていないのでまだ分かりませんが、少なからず広告は変えてそう言ったレビューにも対応をした方がいいと思います。

**Developer response:** こんにちは！ご意見ありがとうございます💙 広告についてのご指摘、チームにしっかり共有いたします。今後ともご意見があれば love@amo.co までお気軽にどうぞ✨

### 5/5 — Bad

*2026-08-13, version 2.105.2*

It is really bad,it keeps getting my account suspended every time i get it bad,please fix this bump!.

### 3/5 — CIĄGŁE denerwujące reklamy np.:reklamujące zdradę

*2026-08-13, version 2.105.2*

Aplikacja nawet fajna ,ale chciała bym z przyjaciółkami widzieć cały czas lokalizację w razie np jakiegoś porwania itd.Moja koleżanka była aktywna 62 dni temu i się zatrzymała w jednym miejscu ,gdzie powinna być cały czas ta lokalizacja

### 5/5 — Better than WhatsApp

*2026-08-12, version 2.105.2*

It’s like WhatsApp but either more stuff to do

### 1/5 — ウィジェット

*2026-08-12*

電源落とす度にウィジェットのBumpがログアウトされる。ログインを押してアプリを開いても何回やっても反映されなくて不愉快。アプリを開かなくてもいいためにウィジェットに追加してるのにアプリを開いてたら話にならない。
運営に問い合わせてもアプリを入れ直してと言われて、どうしてシステムの問題をユーザーが対処しなければならないのか分からない。電源を落としてもウィジェットからログアウトされない、もしくは1回で確実にログイン出来るようにして下さい。

**Developer response:** こんにちは！詳細なご報告ありがとうございます💙 ウィジェットのログアウト問題、ご不便をおかけしています。いただいたご意見はチームにしっかり共有し、改善に取り組んでいきます✨

### 5/5 — Bonne app

*2026-08-11*

Bonne application mais je pense qu on aimerait tous pouvoir appeler sur bump avec une belle interface d appel et aussi pouvoir mettre des story en musique

**Developer response:** Bonjour ! Merci beaucoup pour les 5 étoiles et pour ces suggestions ⭐ Nous les avons transmises à notre équipe, ce genre de retour nous aide vraiment à décider de la suite 💛- Mark from Bump

### 5/5 — 待望のアプリ！要望が２つあります！

*2026-08-11*

旧Zenlyをこよなく愛していた私にとっては待ち望んでいたアプリです！

ここでアヒルのゲームについて２つ要望があります。

◎アヒルの着せ替え
デフォルトのアヒルは赤い帽子をかぶっていますが、その色違いだったり髪型などを着せ替えできるようにしていただきたいです。
また、特定の記録を更新する・特定のチェックポイントの数になったときに、着せ替えのアイテムを報酬としてもらえるようにするともっと楽しくなると思います！

◎背景の着せ替え
先ほどと同じようなイメージで、着せ替えを追加していただきたいです。背景が空ではなく街並みだったり、ステージが変わるたびに国が変わるような世界旅行だったりすれば面白いと思います！

毎日友達と競うくらい大好きなアヒルのゲームなので、是非ご検討よろしくお願いします！

**Developer response:** こんにちは！嬉しいお言葉ありがとうございます😊💙 アヒルの着せ替えや背景のカスタマイズ、想像するだけでワクワクしますね🦆✨ いただいたアイデアはチームにしっかり共有いたします！他にもご意見があれば love@amo.co までお気軽にどうぞ😊
