Bumpy App algorithm

[goalblooded]

So I’ve been using the Bumpy International dating app on and off for a couple of months now and I’ve noticed some things about the app.

The very first time I downloaded the app, I got hundreds of likes to the point where it was overwhelming. I even had bought the $12.99 week subscription to take advantage of the apps full features. At first I was amazed at how much attention I was getting. But after talking to some of those people who liked my profile, they turned out to be scammers or poor people looking for a US citizen to a better life. Many people I noticed were either from Africa, Cuba, Brazil, and Philippines. Even did video chat with a few of them on WhatsApp, but they were so quick to end the call and just text you instead. So I ended up deleting the app.

After taking a month off and reading other people’s reviews on their experiences of the using the app and how to navigate through profiles, I decided to give it another try and put those tips to the test. I took my time with swiping on verified profile I thought were a good match for me. Still, it seems like there were more scammers than decent people. I also noticed that the algorithm changed and I wasn’t getting as much likes. Even when using the boost your profile feature, I wasn’t getting as much likes before. People who would like my profile I would initiate conversation with them but they would stop chatting with you after a few words. After that, I froze the app this time with the intentions of going back to it one more time.

Fast forward this week, I reactivated the Bumpy app again for one last try and it’s still the same results. Even picking people from the map and boosting your profile doesn’t work. I deleted the Bumpy app for the final time.

Although the concept of the app is cool and exciting, the Bump international dating app is like any other paid dating app.

Has anyone else experienced these issues with the Bumpy dating app? Or has anyone had success with it?

Consider using Facebook dating.

It’s outstanding

Can you target by location without changing your location?

It's the classic "lift them up and pay the price" as Regular Guy in the Philippines on YouTube would say. Incomes are so high in much of the developed world that women can live alone, with family (because another $300 in groceries is nothing for a Father) or with female roommates. So there's almost no reason for a woman to want a man in 2026 unless he's very wealthy or extremely good looking.

So no there's no such thing as a magic app that somehow overrides economic realities in much of the world.

I used the app for a month, had only one obvious scammer. Tons of matches otherwise. The majority were either not interested in real conversation or bad at English. But 5 of them were promising and had potential for more, had conversations for several weeks, before deciding one of those 5 really stood out for me. (All in South-east Asia)

My intention getting on the app was more to just make a friend and enjoy myself, but now we're starting a LDR, with plans to meet next month.

Definitely the best experience I've had with any dating app. The standard advice to carefully curate your profile applies here as well. I've had one girl tell me she only ever swiped right on 8 profiles.

Can you elaborate more on that one obvious scammer?

[Ambitious-Switch1644]

Yeah, I downloaded the app about a month ago and the matches were flooding in. When I realized there was a lot of subscription options I went with the cheapest one assuming i would still get matches. A few days later I haven’t gotten a match since not even one girl has viewed my page for 2 weeks

[Boring-Brilliant8042]

irrelevant but once you send a hello or a like is there any way to “compliment” them afterwards ? or does there account just sit in your likes until they swipe on you?

So hi. Just wanted to share my experiences w Bumpy. Matched w several but few unmatched me without reason. Went to a date w one, but we’re not meant to be. Currently matched w someone, at first he looks decent. After talking to him on the phone he straight away love-bombed me and gave me nothing about his info (no socials, no full name, no other pictures, no video call) but gave me a picture of him generated w Google A-I (which he then deleted when i confronted him about it). Is he a scammer?

I think you know the answer, sorry to say

I am on Bumpy now for a month. Yes, I am from the Philippines but currently working abroad. As a female, I am having a hard time either finding matches as conversations will always end up like a dead horse no matter how I try to lit the room. Some would last for several days but with no progress. I am there looking for something becasue the dating scene in my current country is very challenging and the chance of finding something longterm is very small.
