About Bumble — Date. Meet Friends. Network.

Over 21 million people have signed up for Bumble to start building valuable relationships, finding friends, and making empowered connections.

Creating new connections has never been easier. Bumble is working to lift the stigma of online dating by employing unprecedented standards for respectful behavior. Because of this relentless dedication, millions of people are using Bumble to build valuable relationships every single day.

DATE, MEET FRIENDS, NETWORK

Bumble is at the forefront of matchmaking technology by providing an app that allows users to foster more than just romantic connections. The industry-leading app empowers users to swipe through potential connections across three different modes:

Bumble: On Bumble, women make the first move. We’ve changed the archaic rules of the dating game so that you can form meaningful relationships in a respectful way.
Bumble BFF: Life is better with friends. Whether you’re new to a city or looking to expand your circle, Bumble BFF is the easiest way to make new friends.
Bumble Bizz: Now we’re in business. Use Bumble Bizz to network, find mentors, and create new career opportunities.


Bumble is the first app of its kind to bring dating, friend-finding, and career-building into a single social networking platform.

CHANGING THE RULES OF THE GAME

At Bumble, women make the first move. In heterosexual matches, the woman has 24 hours to make the first move and the man has 24 hours to respond. In same-sex matches, either person has 24 hours to make the first move, while the other individual has 24 hours to respond, or else, the connection expires. By prompting our users to be bold and make the first move we’ve seen over 3 billion messages sent to date.

THE BUZZ IS REAL

"Bumble exists to empower women..." (Fast Company)
"Bumble is just an app: but it's changing the discussion." (Wired)
"Bumble offers an alternative that prioritises meaningful connections, with women calling the shots:" (UK Sunday Times)
"Bumble rejects hate speech to make users feel safe on its dating app" (Texas Standard)
"What makes Bumble different from other dating apps...is its focus on giving women all the power. " (Business Insider)

Notifications do not work at all, which leads to everything expiring before you get to them. It's very obvious they put significantly attractive, successful women up front in your "feed". I'm a fairly attractive, successful man and I still rarely get any "matches"! Not to mention profiles are so short and NO filtering; I'm a father I prefer to match with women that have or want children.

K70%
by K####:

I travel for work so whenever I have matches in my queue, they either expire or are gone once I'm in another state. Most girls have only their snap or Instagram on their profile so it feels like there's just a lot of people trying to get followers. Girls I do match with either just say hey or tell guys to message them first.

K70%
by K####:

I like the idea that women message first. But that only works if you get matches. This is the second time I've tried it and I've got nothing each time. I've tried to widen my settings but still nothing. I can't believe no one is swiping right on me at all. I may not be the best catch but at least on Tinder I have matches & more that have liked me but haven't matched. Judging by the reviews there is something not working with this app as there seems to be many unhappy users

A70%
by A####:

Awful since they started including fake profiles and people outside my catchment area. When someone says where they live in their profile, there's no use in pretending they are only 15 miles away... Also, I may not be God's gift but find it very strange that I only had matches when I was paying for the upgrade. Was so much better than its rivals before but now just another waste of time and getting ones hopes up.

K70%
by K####:

This app is the collection of everything insulting a dating app can think of. Matches expire after 24 hours meaning you could miss valuable connections, men can't message first which is frankly insulting as it assumes every man Is a creep. (I am female btw) when the norm is men messaging a "hey" and getting ignored. And microtransactions. All this makes one of the most abysmal apps I've ever seen. You'll have better luck on okcupid

I don't like that in the section "BFF" I can only fine girls. What if I also want boy-friends? I mean, girls and boys can be friends without any relationship feelings involved and I think it is upsetting and old-fashioned that you group people by gender. I also dislike that I must always put my location indicator on. Maybe it would be better if you just let people to select a country or something similar. Finally, I have a question. If I use both Bumble and Bumble bff, whenever I change will my conversations go away? Can the conversations of both sections appear together?

L70%
by L####:

Bumble's matching algorithm is so disingenuous that it's honestly shocking. In their quest to be seen as "Tinder but with hotter people", they weigh attractiveness so heavily that you'll see dozens of people that are, yes, attractive, but often inactive or are outside your search radius. Yes, you read that right, they override your search radius in favor of putting inactive profiles of attractive people in the front of your queue.

What the hell is wrong with the new Bumble interface i am unable to read the messages that are sent to me or see any match queue. I cannot be that ugly can i? This is so unacceptable considering i suscribed.

Been trying to sign up for bumble boost for a while now. It's says your payment has been summited successfully, waiting on confirmation. After that it just keeps loading and nothing comes up. Also it never asked me to enter my card info. Because of this I missed so many matches. How do you fix this problem?

K70%
by K####:

There are a lot of problems with this app, but chief among them is that it is really only for straight people. They have set up the entire system to benefit women, which is fine but what about relationships that don't involve women? For gay men this is just a bad version of Tinder with far fewer options to choose from.

K70%
by K####:

It's a great concept but I've noticed that if you swipe right a lot they essentially make it so people see your profile rarely or not at all. This makes having the app sort of useless if no one is seeing my profile. If you get this app, make sure u swipe left a lot or your profile won't be seen and you will feel like you are wasting your time.

K70%
by K####:

Very buggy. I lose matches because it's nearly impossible to write a message. The app makes the field you type in absolutely tiny so you cant see what you are typing. There is this odd glitch where it copies the last word from your last message and makes it the first word of the next message. My messages end up making me look drunk and stupid. I don't have this sort of issue on any other dating app.

P70%
by P####:

Easy to use, meet several people. only thing the notification last for a few minutes, if I don't get it to it in time it goes awau. sometimes can go days without knowing I got a notuficarion

Z70%
by Z####:

Contacting feedback is a joke since they don't respond, I tried even email. Anyways if you're not in the gender spectrum of "man" and "woman" don't bother using this app. You have to pick one or the other and you have a limited amount on the times you change your gender. Additionally if you use the BFF mode you can only swipe on people with your same gender. No exceptions. You can't list your gender but you can list your job! The biggest "go screw yourself!" to nonbinarys and agenders.

K70%
by K####:

Sick of these apps that require Facebook login and then refuse to let you change your info. I don't use Facebook and the account I have is incorrect. Quit acting like forcing Facebook sign up makes the app better because it doesn't, takes like 3 minutes to make a fake account

K70%
by K####:

Love the fact that women have to make the first move and that feature means a self-selecting set of subscribers, which I like. But things I don't like: very little information so you're stuck swiping pics, which is inherently shallow. Also, while you only get one match a day, having to act within 24 hrs means you might accumulate several matches at a time. There needs to be a pause button because maybe I don't want to pass up on one person but I need to give my attention to the people I'm already meeting. It takes more than a day to know if someone is worth passing up other options or deleting my profile.

J70%
by J####:

Terrible app, notifications don't work, cannot find the page/tab to update account settings, getting matched with guys that are inactive or outside my search radius, cannot message anyone after they expire unless I pay for boost, which by the way has almost doubled in cost. I don't mind that it's tied to ones Facebook account like a lot of the other reviewers, but I do mind that it wants to use use only that content. I don't like to share private info with strangers. Anyway, after weeks of trying to resolve issues and getting know where, and seeing others with unresolved issues, I will be deleting profile and app. Moving on to another app with better customer service and easy to use interface.

It's a little weird People I swipped no on still showed up for some reason. I feel bad for not saying something to someone I literally swiped no on.

K70%
by K####:

Utter waste of time, whilst it's admirable that they make it that women have to make the first contact to cut down on inappropriate messages, in practice it doesn't work as this app is full of abandoned profiles or vain idiots plugging their vapid snapchat or instagram accounts.

V70%
by V####:

the format of the app is really well done. I think of it as the app for more serious young people that don't just want to hook up. has considerable bugs though.

K70%

Daily ads pushed through push notifications. Nothing like sitting at work feeling your phone vibrate for a new ad from bumble ... Every day!

Y70%
by Y####:

Very glitchy. People's pages never load in the swipe screen or while opening their page. I never get notifications of messages, I have to open the app. Great idea for the app especially with the women messaging first but it's hard to use.

J70%
by J####:

Randomly picked pics for me then won't let me upload new pics from my gallery. Can't verify account til I upload new photos. The pics they chose are terrible, so there's no way I'm gonna use those.

K70%
by K####:

This app is the worst. It's so slow, some of my matches disappear because it never downloaded correctly . Also, no one ever writes back. Worst than Tinder.

Not all of us are on Facebook, some of us disagree with the beliefs of the company and refuse to use their product. So thanks for giving us the finger for not being helpless sheep goijng over the cliff with the rest of humanity.

K70%
by K####:

Idea is good and noble especially in strengthening feminism in society. I just wonder whether it is me (as not good at selling myself) or activity is fairly anaemic and ideals clash with reality... Conclusion - worth a try, but do not expect too much...

W70%
by W####:

Very buggy. Didn't get notified with either of the two girls I supposedly matched and I wonder, did they get notified for matching me? Not particularly great considering they have 24 hours to initiate - tough considering both are professionals. Push notifications is on. Making you pay for Super Swipe? The girls are way hotter than Tinder, though how many are actually active? Came across my friends girlfriends account who's been in a relationship for nearly 2 years - all photos are old with long hair etc (before anyone suggests she's cheating!)

I seem to only to get missed matches somehow. I stayed stationary for a month, no matches. Then I left the area about 12 hours, suddenly four missed matches. Perhaps there is something I am missing, but seems more like a money grab.

At least tinder gives you ONE free super like a day. Also the notifications clearly don't work. I missed matches because of this

Very buggy. I was using bumble ok until I tried to open it this morning. Had a message pop up saying that my Facebook profile wasn't linked to the app. Huh? Since when? Didn't delete my bumble or Facebook account. Please fix.

P70%
by P####:

Bumble used to be cool but this app is so glitchy lately. I have to keep restarting the app to get it to update. And lately my matches are dissappearing.. Unless people keep unmatching me literally right after we match, something is going very wrong and it's a bummer because I wanted to talk to those guys. You're ruining my life bumble. ????

K70%
by K####:

Paid for boost. The app still only matches when I swipe (meaning boost isn't working). Tried contacting the dev to resolve the issue or get a refund and just got an automated email response back. Don't waste your money on this scam app

U70%
by U####:

I dont think notifications are working. It has been so long since Ive used the app, I can't remember which way to swipe if I'm interested. And no where can I find that info... not even here in the playstore description!

I70%
by I####:

I met my boyfriend on here, and I also made a few friends here too! Only thing I would like to see is being about to block out a place in search. I like in Long island's and I keep getting people from Connecticut because it's in the"search radius." Besides that, keep it up!

K70%
by K####:

Works well enough that I've met matches through it but holy hell is it ever buggy. Notifications sometimes work, sometimes don't. Especially if you're using it on multiple devices. There's also no way to turn of spam notifications like the ones telling you activity is up or to link spotify for better matches. Stuff nobody cares about.

This app blows. I live in an area with a massive population. You're lucky if you get a match a month. Tinder is way better. Hell plenty of fish is probably better.

K70%
by K####:

Only had this one day and already asked to review the app which is not much time to get to know the app. It's a good thing I've already gotten two matches and one message.

K70%
by K####:

Bait and Switch. Do not pay for boost. You do not get the features that are advertised. I now get to battle for a refund. It's a good app but poor sales techniques.

K70%
by K####:

Too intrusive for my taste. I sure as heck don't want my Facebook profile connected with it. Nor do I want to give an excessive amount of permissions up front.

K70%
by K####:

Have to edit my review after the fixed the swipping feature for S6 phones. I actually like this app above all other's. It gets draining being the person who has to message first. Now women have to do what men have been having to do for years. Find a way to break the ice without just saying hello. More over the women on here I find more attractive and actually seeking a match. Which with them contacting first they are less likely to be drained from messages when they do message you. I personally don't have any use for the extend function. If she has not made up her mind to message in 24hrs, she's likely not that interested or to busy to be dating anyway. Thanks for fixing the app.
