If you are a single woman, we have no doubt you’ve heard of bumble.com. It is the platform that is focused on shifting the antiquated dynamics of dating and handing the power of choice back to women. The main way this is done is by changing the communication rules so that the woman must like a profile before the profile owner can message them and also be the one to initiate (and unlock) the conversation).
Many women seem to love Bumble.com, but we wanted to know if they are using this one feature as a novelty that lets them ignore other features. If this feature isn’t adding to the app, like for lesbians, does the rest of the app stand up?
Today, we are taking a look at every aspect of Bumble to see if it is truly worth a download. Additionally, we’re going to take a look at whether or not the app is good for men. If you’re ready, let’s buzz right into our Bumble reviews.
Best Alternatives to Bumble
Maybe you’re not sure about Bumble? Or you want to try something a little more mainstream? Are you a female who doesn’t want the burden of having to always make the first move? Are you a man who wants to be able to reach out to the women you’re interested in?
If you answered yes to any of these questions Bumble is probably not right for you, and that’s okay! Here are some amazing dating app options you should consider checking out. Oh, and they all come with free trials, so hooray to that!
Is Bumble good for women?
Bumble.com was designed with women in mind. So, for the most part, yes, the Bumble dating app is good for women. But one caveat is that if you're a woman who doesn't want to always make the first move and send the first message, this might not work. Ultimately, it depends on your preference.
Is Bumble.com good for men?
In our opinion, both yes and no. Yes, because this app is known to attract more quality women who are looking for something more serious. However, there are some potential problems. First, you won't be able to send the first message. So imagine matching with an amazing woman only to see the match end after 24 hours because she didn't get the first message in time.
Second, you may run into jaded women on Bumble because they have a problem with men. It will definitely be a minority, but it's something to be aware of.
Is Bumble good for LGBTQ+ people?
The Bumble platform now allows same-sex matches with no rules about who can message first. While it's great for the community, it's now becoming a "regular" dating app for you. So you can still find matches, but you don't really get the uniqueness of the platform.
Is Bumble.com membership worth it?
If you've read this section of our Bumble review and think the app sounds like a great fit, there's a very good chance it is. We believe there is real value in paying for advanced membership. But if you're new to the dating app, we recommend signing up for a free subscription first. By claiming Bumble's free trial, you can try the app for free without even opening your wallet.
How The Bumble.com Matchmaking Process
Bumble follows a swipe-style matchmaking process. Users swipe to indicate interest in other members. When there is a mutual match, both members are notified! This is where things get different, though. Instead of immediately opening up a conversation, Bumble gives the woman 24 hours to initiate a conversation. If she doesn’t send anything in that time frame, the match goes away and no one can send a message unless they match again. The men are NOT able to initiate the conversation.
There are additional features and boost-type features that can be used to enhance the experience. We break those down further down in our Bumble review (features section).
What is Bumble.com BFF?
Bumble BFF is a variation of Bumble Date that is focused solely on helping people make new friends. The matching process is quite similar but the intent of the users is just to make friends.
What is Bumble Bizz?
Also following the same matching process, Bumble Bizz is more about connecting people looking to network professionally. While these matches could lead to friendships or romantic interests, the intent is to connect people for business and professional purposes. Both Bumble Bizz and Bumble BFF come with the standard Bumble Date.

Wrapping it up:
It is quite clear that bumble.com is a platform for all the singles out there who want to occupy themselves with someone having the same choices. If you feel alone, get yourself registered on the portal now and be ready to explore through numerous profiles where you can find out people having the same interest as you.
They charged me for another 6 months without my consent when I contacted the third party, I was told that they would not refund my money.
Lots of scammers. Buyer beware.
Not sure what the purpose of selecting criteria for distance and age range is if there appears to be no limit to who has access to you. Met some lovely guys and even a couple of friendships formed. Too many old men who seem to think they are still 20 reaching out. Have met a lovely guy and hoping things work out.
Flaws in the site, like the search area doesnt stay the same. But if it did i wouldnt have met the man of my dreams. So it is great
This is like all the other “better” dating sites is really only interested in making money – they do little to stop the awful abuse of women on line. As a more mature woman it is even worse, words like MILF are not blocked and men with fake profiles and photos not banned but given several chances to abuse again and again.
Absolutely disgusting. I had the app for a couple of weeks and I decided it wasn’t my scene and I felt anxious so deleted my account off the app, said it was deleted so I just carried on as usual and a week had gone by, by this point and I felt a lot more happier. Then my guy friend messaged me and said he had just saw me on the app as he obviously was also on it. I was shocked as I had deleted my account. Went on my laptop this time and logged in and it let me in and my account was still active! It wasn’t deleted at all! What a terrible service and absolute liars. I won’t be returning or creating a new account anytime in the near future. Stay away from this app!
Sad to see such attitude, but their photos, questions and attitudes are very political oriented. If you have different political belief, you will have difficult and hard to deal with.
All the women on this site are scam you to keep you buying coins just for them to make excuses why they can’t send a recent pic of themselves or they are not ready to make the next step so you keep spending money buying coins just to speak to women there has to be another way.
Lots of fake profiles – mainly Russian girls who will ask you to email them rather than talking via the App – but beware of the fact that they will renew your contract when it comes to an end without your permission or any notification.
Complete waste of money and time. They seem to ignore your preferences, particularly re distance. I was also concerned about their screening process, as I had some approaches from individuals who appeared to be possible fraudsters. Watch their automatic renewal process- you get no reminder until after they have charged you, which appears to be sharp practice. As for site – that appears to be a complete misdescription. I feel ripped off
I’ve been trying to stop my auto renewal for over a month. They make the cancellation process really difficult for anyone who isn’t 100% tech savvy and will NOT send me a link to reset my password despite my many requests for them to send me a link. I’ve lost my original password and yet they REQUIRE that you remember your old password to set a new one – very weird. They just want to keep you paying no mater how unethical. Plus Match is much better – don’t use this service!
I just cancel my membership 4 months early because it is full of fake profiles and scamming profiles don’t waste your time and hard earn money with this site. When you receive fake subspinous and scam profile and report they don’t seem to care and try to stop it. Take the word from a X member that cancel 4 months early.
Worst app ever. Doesn’t work just a bot app & bunch of scammers. Not worth it. No stars. I wouldn’t recommend.
You pay for a Subscription and then they fail to tell you that even though you pay for the subscription and tell you That you have all these benefits you still can’t talk to anyone without buying more coins just to talk to people. They rip you off. Don’t waste your time with this site. If I could give 0 stars I would.
