- [R3] Bumble Dating App Great app, shaky back-end: I’ve been a long-time paid user of Bumble and have met a lot of great people on the app. I’m writing this review, which I hope to amend later, because the design and performance of the app have gotten meaningfully worse this year. Bugs or poor design choices: - Your incoming likes are no longer a grid, but parade of one at a time - hopeless to navigate if you have 500+ i
- [R21] Bumble Dating App it’s good actually, but you have to pay for way too much (not paying): it’s very limited as to what you can do, there’s a paywall behind a lot of stuff. still useable for sure, and i’ve made some good matches but it’s expensive to pay and i’m not paying
- [R57] Bumble Dating App Pointless without Money: Unless you love to just swipe right or left on profiles all day, this app isn’t worth the time unless you pay for premium. You can’t even see who likes you without paying. Literally the only thing you can do is swipe left or right on profiles. Enjoy.
- [R61] Chispa Closeness/nearby: No matter what you put as radius, they’ll give you a couple and mind you I paid for this app but all the women I find are over 100 miles away. If you’re not willing to travel past 50 miles I wouldn’t bother…… this is an update! Man, I’m telling you all the beautiful women that you would probably be interested in our way over 25 to 50 mile range! It’s crazy. I got women but I’m no
- [R15] Bumble Dating App Confusing: This app is very confusing with how it works. You can like someone and get to message them, then there are times someone will like me back but they have to initiate. There are some that say you have 24hrs to initiate, or they do. Some say 72hrs. I can like someone back but they have to start the conversation. How does this thing work??? Make it make sense and user friendly…
- [R25] Bumble Dating App FIX YOUR APP!: I’m so sick of wasting my time swiping guys out in the liked you section only for them to reappear 2 minutes later. Literally some profiles I am seeing 3+ times. It’s not them, it’s YOU.
- [R30] Bumble Dating App Average app.: A recent trip to the Algarve and this app failed for the entire trip to use my location for matches. Instead it had me in Lisbon which is literally nowhere near where I was. It also highlights how little effort women are prepared to put into a first message. The app literally fails at its intended purpose. I wouldn’t pay for it based on these things.
- [R69] Chispa First time user: Monthly sub is meh in comparison to others. This app has potential but lacks in a lot of areas ie; I should be able to see a history of who I liked so I can go back and send a message if I choose, otherwise they are gone forever unless they mutually like me. Also searching by miles apart doesn’t seem to be accurate. Searching for woman has also spawned a few men which I thought wa
- [R12] Bumble Dating App No customer service and no diversity: It took hours to cancel the subscription. The step by step instructions in the support tab did not match the options on screen. Ended up having the AI chat assistant cancel. Maybe it’s the area I live in but the diversity on the app is nonexistent. Left a bad taste and I went be using the app again.
- [R37] Bumble Dating App no customer support: They have moved all their customer support to AI chat bots. They will move your issue to email. 2+ weeks later I’m still waiting for email support.
- [R43] Bumble Dating App Payment method: I’m extremely frustrated with this experience. It should not be this difficult to make a payment, especially when I have the available funds and my bank isn’t declining the transaction. I’ve tried multiple cards, and every payment fails. What’s even more disappointing is that there’s no way to reach a real person for support, only an AI chat. For a paid service, that’s unacceptable.
- [R70] Chispa Customer Service is terrible: Account got disabled without using and have contacted support no response if there was a 0 star option I would have opted to do
- [R1] Bumble Dating App U have to pay to use: Only free thing to do is to set up ur account
- [R7] Bumble Dating App No good: Extremely expensive. Overpriced. Don't use.
- [R22] Bumble Dating App Expensive now, use to be good though: I met some really awesome people on bumble but they changed the prices and the cheapest option FOR A WEEK is now 32$, would recommend tinder or hinge for more affordable match making
- [R66] Chispa Honest review: Is too expensive
- [R28] Bumble Dating App Sneaky auto billing $129.99 after cancel and no refund policy!!!: I’ve cancelled this 3 times and they keep auto billing me. I had trouble screen shorting the cancellation because their AI bot confirms the cancel and closes it out. Would not recommend, go elsewhere, poor customer service and not helpful. Will never use again!
- [R19] Bumble Dating App Stupid guidelines: I had this app a short time but it flagged a normal photo i had of myself as “violating nudity guidelines “ even though it was a normal photo of me in a tank top. Also $70/month for basic premium??? Talk about a rip off. I’m not saying this because of lack of matches but because of lack of thought behind the programming of this app. So disappointing and will not be using again
- [R100] Chispa There’s no point: For you to even use this app you have to pay for everything, everything is overpriced specially for someone in college. If you wanna go broke, trying to find someone who doesn’t even really like you use this app.
