### 1/5 — continues to charge me months after deleting my account

*2026-07-09*

I originally downloaded this in april to look for a roomate. i bought bunky pro and paid for it, and when I was done, i deleted my account. however, i have been charged twice now. i have gone out of my way to contact their customer support for months and have received emails saying that they cannot access the charges to cancel them because my account is unable to be located. i am at the point where I have to go through my bank to block the charges and possibly get a new card.

### 4/5 — Cool but hella buggy

*2026-06-26*

It shows me the same person I already liked if I refresh, making it so I have to use two likes on the same person. If I like them the first time and then pass them the second time, they are deleted from my like history. And the same person appears in both the roommate section and the friends section which makes no sense because there isn’t a way to differentiate between whether you got matched as a roommate or a friend yet. These aren’t minor issues so I’d give it a 4/5 for now because honestly the potential is super high and it’s already fulfilling some expectations :)

### 3/5 — Annoying AI Art Cluttering the App

*2026-04-29*

The app itself is okay I guess. I just wish it wasn’t heavily reliant on subscriptions in order to utilize it. I really like how to profiles are set up, but it is nearly impossible to get a match. The app is also filled with AI art which is very clunky and hard to look at. I wish the creator just paid real artists or didn’t include images at all.

### 3/5 — Meh

*2026-04-28, version 2.6.8*

I was loving the app until I got a roommate request on it and it gave me no option to accept or deny it and now I can no longer message people because that won’t go away

### 2/5 — school isn’t an option

*2026-04-06, version 2.6.6*

the app seems really cool, a friend showed it to me… the app doesn’t have my school :(

### 1/5 — “IsraelGPT code me a roommate finding app me and all my IDF buddies will love”

*2026-04-06, version 2.6.5*

No seriously. This entire app feels generated. From the icons, to the clunky buttons parts, and the setup. I saw every student on this app ( from my university ) in one ten minute sitting. Like I spent more time setting up than going through people.

### 2/5 — very buggy doesnt work

*2026-03-12, version 2.6.2*

showed people from different schools even though i put where i was going and the building, asked me for information i already filled out with the same number, wouldn’t take my id to verify my profile, and now the app refuses to open and just shows me the pillow logo

### 1/5 — Won’t Load

*2026-03-03*

I made a profile on Bunky, however once I closed the app and tried to reopen it the screen was frozen on the page with the purple pillow. I tried restarting my phone, deleting the app, and getting more storage but none of that seemed to work and the app still would not open to the main page. Then once I tried to submit an inquiry online it said it looked like spam and would not submit. Super sad because lots of my friends had success on Bunky :(

**Developer response:** Hello,

We are super sorry this is happening please email us at Chris@bunky.me and we will help you out asap!

Best,
Bunky Team

### 3/5 — great but stopped working

*2026-03-02*

i loved the layout of this app—it is thorough and so helpful! i met my roommate off of it and i can already tell we’re gonna be best friends. however, for the past two months it will not let me get into the app. the loading screen sits there FOREVER and never ever loads, so i had to delete the app and redownload it. even then it didn’t work. i had to communicate w my roommate on other platforms which i don’t mind, but it’s annoying that the app refuses to work.

**Developer response:** Hello,

We’re super stoked you were able to find your roommate! That said I’m sorry you are having difficulties getting into the app. Please reach out to our support email at chris@bunky.me and we will fix this bug immediately!

Cheers,
Bunky Team

### 1/5 — Can’t Switch College

*2026-02-22, version 2.6.2*

I originally got this out, thinking I was going to go to one college, but switched to another. I cannot switch to the college. I’m going to now. I’ve tried deleting the app, and re-downloading it, but nothing deletes the data.
