Ratings and reviews

Notifications Quit Working. Every time I've downloaded Bumble or Bff the notications work as expected for weeks and then suddenly stop. No changes to my phone setting or the app setting happens to prompt this. I have contacted support multiple times, deleted and redownloaded, updated, etc. Nothing works. The point of the app is to communicate with others. I have taken all my contacts out of the app and will delete it since it is no longer useful.

The photo verification process was stated as an optional feature upon signing up. I then got locked out of my account and was unable to access it unless I submitted photo verification. After exchanging emails with support, they confirmed it is a mandatory feature unlike how they advertised. Personally I am not comfortable with my face being uploaded to a server and scanned with facial recognition technology. Very unfortunate false advertising and I will no longer be using their apps.

Good concept for an app. Once I downloaded it I was able to match with others very quicly. I filled my profile and verified it with no issues. My complaint is that you have to pay for extra likes. Once I saw the prices I was surprised...$199 for 6 months unlimited likes (and other perks I don't care for). It's not even a full year. I would suggest this app, but don't pay the full price! Other than that, I've been having engaging conversations with other people on the free version!

What's new

To be honest, everything is kinda new here. Say hello to our new dedicated friendship app - Bumble For Friends. It’s a bit like Bumble, but for finding friends and creating meaningful connections with people near you. We’ve got fun new profile features and important safety features to make it easy for people to show up in a way that’s genuine and true to themselves. We’re also creating a community centered around kindness, because kindness is kinda what we do.
