Like most reviews I've read, I have the same issue; all the good features are locked. I saw a reply that mentioned matches can be found on the "swipe deck"; I checked and could not find it. So where EXACTLY is this swipe deck located on the BFF app? It's impossible to see who swiped right on your profile unless you pay. I shouldn't have to pay to find friends. That's absolutely absurd, and so are the prices for features that should be free. Oh and I should be able to filter the "plans"

Hi Ryozi, we apologize for your experience. You can only see who you've swiped right on if there's a match. To see who liked you, you need to be a Premium member. We will definitely pass your feedback on to the relevant team. If you have any questions, please send us a private message at @BumbleSupport. ๐Ÿ’›

I like the concept and I might have made a match but the biggest issue is having to pay to even see who liked you... Which kind of defeats the whole purpose of the app. Honestly would rather have ads. Please fix this. It's already hard enough to find friends as an adult, this was supposed to make it easier. P.S. don't respond with its free to swipe and match... Idc, if someone likes me, I would like to be able to see so I don't miss a potential match.

I tried to make friends for months. Lack of participation :/ I do not wish to expand my distance range, as I wish to make friends irl - people outside my city aren't people i can realistically get together with consistently. It is true that more people are learning about this app, but I checked often and consistently over the course of several months and was still unable to make any friends, despite swiping right on people i thought would be exciting to meet, sending compliments.
