No all around

This app is extremely buggy, has a very limited user base, and the filtering simply does not work on any level consistently. Most times I would be told that I was out of suggestions and then the prior suggestions that I had already passed on would reappear in my suggestion stack and also in my discover stack. The quality of men is not the best for professional Christian women seeking marriage and kids.

Can’t Use the App

Cute concept, but every time the countdown reaches 0, it just starts over and I don’t get to actually look at any profiles.

Bugs

Just keeps repeating the same people on my feed. When I leave the app and come back it refreshes. It didn’t do that before.

Unusable

As of Aug 4th 2026, CMB won’t let you send a like due to a show-stopper bug that will froze the app when it’s trying to open a message box beneath the like button. It’s been few days since I found this bug and apparently it’s not urgent enough for CMB team to fix this.

The Equivalent of a Paper Weight

You know what they say now.. nothing is for free and CMB is exactly this.
Unless you have money to spare it’s an absolutely useless app.
It is the app equivalent of a paper weight.

Enjoyable Online Dating

Folks on the app seem more mature and intentional. I’ve come across a few creeps but overall a good experience. This app is definitely a place where you will meet more nerds.

Real!!

I just wanna say that I’ve been on a few different apps and I swear to goodness this is the first time that I felt like I’m actually getting somewhere with the other party first time thank you coffee meat bag

Could be better

Overall the features and people on the app are good, but I don’t like how it “rations” the number of ‘suggested’ profiles each day - it used to start with a reasonable number, between 15 and 20 new profiles per day but lately that’s hovering around 5. Then the app forces you to scroll the ‘Discover’ section where they start charging you extra just to send a like (or “flowers”). That’s how they get you for more money after already paying for a subscription - greedy, tacky, lame. Aside from that, the format for filling out profiles has pretty banal or boring prompts which doesn’t really help showcase the personality of each person. Just some photos and a few canned answers to canned questions. So, could be better.

People who like me not showing on my stack

It doesn’t feel good giving a 1star because I actually used CmB several years ago and really enjoyed it and got a good amount of matches. But the UI is very outdated, and the app sometimes feels like it’s working against you.

I can see that people have liked me, but they’re all blurred. I wouldn’t mind this being paywalled, but they do not show up in my daily stack even after several days. So they’re basically holding your potential matches hostage behind a paywall, which is pretty manipulative towards users. This does not feel like the devs actually care about the users. If they’re going to make it so that likes don’t show up, you might as well just make the entire app pay to use.

Just use Hinge. With Hinge, you can see one of your likes at a time without having to go through a paywall. You get the basics for free, and I feel a lot better about paying for their premium features.

App frozen when press like

No idea what happen frozen when press like. Restarted phone and deleted and redownloaded the ap and resigned in and still the same issue

Extremely slow

Limited unless you pay for premium. there is a countdown timer that shows you when you will be able to view new matches and for three hours on end the timer is stuck around the 20 minute mark. I deleted it after only using it for half a day.

App is unusable

The app freezes every time I hit the hart on someone. I have to close the app and reopen it to fix it. I already uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it’s still freezing so don’t get this app if you actually want to use it.

Great App (Im also very lucky)

I gravitated toward this app based on several real life anecdotes I heard of CMB leading to long term relationships. I had no previous dating app experience and knew I wanted something serious. Thankfully, that’s exactly the vibe i got right off the bat. All of the profiles I saw were in my preferences and I could tell these people put in a Lot of effort to express themselves clearly and be forward with their intentions. I probably could have been on here for a while and had several great conversations / dates. Also, generally, the app’s format seemed straightforward and easy to use.
I say probably for the same reason my review title says I got really lucky.
After setting up my profile and getting some likes, i stuck around to see who was liking my profile (the app doesnt show you right away without a subscription… unless someone sends you “flowers”)… and I got some flowers! :)) that let me see his profile right away, and long story short, we hit it off immediately. He was the first conversation I had and we instantly clicked, our conversation flowed right from the app to texting to dates. We’ve been seeing each other seriously for a while now and we feel amazing about it!! I wouldnt be writing this review if it hadnt gone so perfect for me. I literally dont ever review anything.
If youre looking for something serious, I would Definitely try this out. This app struck me as way more wholesome than the other apps Ive heard about. :)
happy dating, yall!

Response from developer

We're absolutely thrilled that you found your bagel here at CMB! That's exactly what we strive for—to create meaningful connections that lead to genuine relationships. Thank you for being a valued member of our community!

Such a great app

I finally found someone significant in my life with CMB. I really appreciate the app, offering such an opportunity otherwise I wouldn’t be able to meet in my personal life.

Don’t bother - app is terrible

This app allows absolute incel trash to roam around and prey on women. They don’t do anything when you report a dangerous man but claim they do. It’s all BS and they will side with a psychotic man who hates rejection so much he will report false accusations to get an innocent member banned, with zero proof at that. This app is a joke and I recommend any other app - hinge, bumble, match - those are where people actually are. Don’t waste your time here.

Not worth it

I received my first like and in order for me to view the like I had to pay. So I paid for the monthly subscription. The moment I did the like disappeared. Now I’m out of $39.99

Banned before I even joined

I tried to join CMB for the first time a week ago, and text verification wouldn’t get accepted. It seemed like a glitch, and after a couple days it let me go through the rest of signup. I provided my real, legal ID, and had my account get rejected.

Support wouldn’t help or give any info. I was banned for “violating the community guidelines and terms of service”, on an app where I couldn’t even make an account. I have no criminal record, never been banned from any other app, no clue why this happened.

Don’t even try. Customer support is atrocious, they probably collect and sell your private info. 0 stars.

Beto

I like the fact that there are special features incorporated to this app; which I find really useful.

So glitchy

So frustrating to use the app, it keeps freezing

Wouldn’t recommend this app!!

This app isn’t bad but definitely needs a lot of improvements if it wants to be considered decent. For starters, not allowing people to view profiles that like them unless you pay a subscription is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE! People should have the choice of whether or not they would like to pay a subscription and not try to be forced into it. Secondly, making people wait like three days to see if someone liked their profiles or not is ridiculous. Third of all, it’s false advertising that this app was advertised as an app where users could schedule dates only to see that that’s not even a feature on here…so overall my experience is not the best but definitely wasn’t the worst either…
