Utterly abysmal excuse of a pay-to-play dating app. – Coffee Meets Bagel Dating App Review

CMB is by far the worst dating app I’ve used out of the “top” ones. Your actions have a choke hold based on the in-app currency - Beans. To receive 200 beans, you can follow them on Instagram. To receive 500 beans, you have to act as THEIR marketer by spamming out referral links to your friends, hoping that they’ll bite. Other than that (unless you pay...), you receive 5 beans PER DAY for swiping through your daily bagels. In order to LIKE somebody on CMB through the discover tab, you need to cough up 385 beans. Three hundred eighty five. 385!!!!!! YOU GET 5 BEANS DAILY FOR FREE. I’m currently down to 50 beans. That means UNLESS I PAY, I have to wait 67 DAYS in order to accrue enough beans to like somebody in the discover tab!!! SIXTY SEVEN DAYS. When I first signed up, I was getting 10 bagels per day. I got an in-app offer for the premium subscription model with a free week. My daily bagels has now fallen to TWO. I am getting less bagels as a PAID user. While the discovery tab is nice in terms of filtering your preferences, the bean concept is absurd if you’re charging 385 to LIKE somebody. And two daily bagels is a joke. Horrible horrible overall app experience. NEXT!
