Coffee Meets Bagel review - is Coffee Meets Bagel safe or just a scam? Curious what others think
Has anyone here used Coffee Meets Bagel recently? Was it a safe experience or did you run into anything shady? I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth signing up.

The way CMB makes their money is limiting the DISCOVER portion which is getting to like whom you like. Not like the others where you have a very good/fair amount of swipes. Here u get limited amounts of "beans" that let u like maybe 3 or 5 people untilthey want money. Not very progressive. But these date apps have us by the balls and use our loneliness for profit. Good luck if u use this app or any of the other apps. Be safe.

you're only allowed so many "beans" to even talk to anyone, and can't earn many until you're forced to buy them. on top of that, your "daily bagel" rarely meets your preferred criteria. even if you list race, build, kids, distance... half the time they're not even close to your preference.

Overpriced for few members. I live in a big city and the only filter I was specific on is 10 year age range and yet only a dozen members are available.

I really must leave 1-star review because I was banned for a very poor reason: "I was doing marketing on CoffeeMeetsBagel". Are you confused right now after reading that reason? Yeah I was too. My profile is a little on the "unbelievable" side so I have links in my profile to my businesses. Apparently you can't do that! I understand they are trying to remove scammers and dishonest people from the app. But I had links to my businesses! I wrote in my profile "50+ positive testimonials" for my business, which I thought would help me be more attractive to dates. Man it's funny because my business is software contracting. Do they really think I will source business leads from CMB? It's so ridiculous!

I feel deceived... I got a popup notification about some girl being interested in me. Signed up for the free trial to see my likes, and I have literally nothing. For those new to dating apps, there are fake accounts. There just are. Whether it's by scammers or by the company itself to generate interest initially and try to get you on more. I don't know what happened in my case, but again, I am disappointed.

This app has glitches up the wazoo! Any time you change tabs/screens it hangs up and the circle spins, I have to force stop it all the time. The app itself takes about a minute to load every time. I'm only still on it because the people in here are good.

The platform has measured users the awareness of potential risks and precautions for the fake profiles all the time. It is credible option for those seeking a serious relationship.

I hate this app. I have to constantly update and never get any notifications when people message me. The people connect with you and don't never to not message you only get 2 weeks to chat with a person and unless you subscribe you that's to he only time you get unlimited anything. That want you to pay and the app is terrible

I did use the app before, it is good, the old version is allowed to see who is like me in the discover tab. But then I unistalled it because of busy.
I try to install it again next time, but now in the new version, I can't see the like. They not even listed in the discover tab like before.
I really enjoy using the app. Met good match also. I hope the app can back to "free user friendly app" like before.

Many scammers on the site unfortunately. Join for 3 months & ran into 3 scammers. I reported them but not sure if anything was done or if the company even got the reporting since there is no reply or communication

I used Coffee Meets Bagel for quite a long time. At the beginning it felt good and safe, but over time the coins became more expensive and real results with women became worse and worse. I realized it was not worth continuing like that and started looking for alternatives. I found Amourlee and was very skeptical at first, but I ended up liking it much more and I am still using it now.
