Bumble For Friends: Meet IRL 17+

I was hesitant to get the app as I am married and was worried it wasn’t actually a friend app but more like a dating app but no! You get people who are also just looking for friends. It’s the same as a dating app, you get to fill out everything about you, post pictures and set distance and age preferences. So far I’ve noticed that texting first is the best way to actually get people to talk but if you’re too scared send a gif! Me and my husband both got the app and I mostly get women on mine and he gets mostly men, now idk if you can’t change the preferences to mix or get the opposite gender but it doesn’t bother us at all. I’ve had this app for maybe 3-4 days and got a couple phone numbers and one planned meet up so far but you really gotta put in effort like with any other friendship that’s in real life.

Thanks for your feedback! We’re so happy to hear you’re having such a positive and fun experience on Bumble For Friends. For now, members will only be able to match with other members from the same gender identity. We can’t wait to see who you meet! 💛

So close to being fabulous. Have a lot to say but when it comes down to the quick and dirty : Bumble for Pete’s sake why charge such a high prices? Basic feature like “undo” when accidentally swiping left Vs right, there is not a single option to undo (even when trying it out the first day) without being behind a $20 for ONE WEEK to $80 for 6m pay wall. Come on bumble? People are lonely during a recession with inflation and this is the options you give? More greed. No under $10 trial period is so lame. Like you were so close… I would be so happy to pay a reasonable price for an app like this, but to be so stingy to not even allow us to TEST the features before paying SUCH prices? Come on now. 8.6 billion dollar company needs $20/wk before you can even test a basic feature. Give me a break. (Oh and to boot, went to the contact us page on their website to avoid leaving this review, to give them a polite and decent chance to hear from the people - and “this page is not available” was the contact us page. Nice.)

We're sorry you aren't satisfied with Bumble For Friends. We can assure you that it's a cost-free application, and there's no obligation to pay for our features to make genuine connections or send messages. Before a conversation can get off the ground, both members have to have swiped to the right to create a match. Either member can then send the first message directly from the “You Matched ” screen, which appears once two members match. Remember: You have 24 hours to respond to a First Move! If you see that a connection is expiring soon, you can use your daily 24-hour extend feature to give them a little more time to break the ice. ✨ If you have any more questions, please know we're here to help via bumble.com/contact. 💌

I think the app is a great idea, although there are a few issues for me. First is having to buy subscription to make friends or message others, the subscription is priced a bit much in my opinion just to have a shot at making a friend. Second I have found my account was blocked this morning, reading other reviews I see that is may be a common problem. I was totally confused and shocked, failing to understand what went wrong. Like the others who wrote reviews , I don’t believe to have violated the terms and conditions at all.
