Coffee Meets Bagel: Dating App 17+

Great platform, but getting concerning

I have used CMB for 3 years and always favored it and had many memorable connections through it, for which I am thankful. But recent new update is concerning for me: (1) photos seem to be more compressed than before, losing original color and becoming more blurry; (2) rearranging photos changed from insertion to swap, making it take longer for me to arrange. Why? (3) Platinum features did not bring me more likes. All three areas point to cost cutting and profit seeking that sacrifice user experience. If this continues, this platform will find its way out.

Is this what online dating is really like?

I’ve given this app a try for a second time and I do have a friend who found her husband, married 4 years fom this app.. the downside is that there’s not a lot of diversity, it’s mostly Asian men. If that’s what you’re looking for then this is the app for you. Other apps have more diversity hence my rating. Based on my dealbreakers above only had one person o matched with based on my preference in the 30 days of trying out the app again. That’s it. My suggestions are people I’d never date, people who don’t share my same religious background or want kids, it’s a waste of both our time to meet if we know what we are truly looking for.
I hope in time this app gets more subscribers, it’s super easy to use and the idea of bagels in your inbox everyday is fun and less off putting that the hours you could easily spend scrolling through other apps to find people of interest.

Not Great

I’ve only used this app for a few weeks but my experience has been a little frustrating. Mostly with that filters for who you want in your results are completely ignored. For example part of my settings is no one above the age of 30, but for the last few days the group it released are all above 30 and the oldest was 38 which is a huuuuuge leap from where I said I’m comfortable with. It does the same with distance. My only guess on distance and possibly the age filters being ignored is lack of local users, but I would rather be shown one profile that matches my filters than eight that do not.

My second irk but it’s more of just a joke is the pop up to pay for a $200 premium account that’s always going on discount for a price that’s still no where justifiable. If you can’t get a good experience for free why would I bother to spend money?
