Bumble is the dating and networking app for women that emerged as a direct competitor to Tinder. Instead of just facilitating quick hookups, this app aims to help you find friends, partners, and networks with local professionals, all from the same place.

Not all apps built to connect people do so while thinking about the actual people involved. Bumble was built in part to empower women and give them a better chance at deeper connections, unlike competitors like Tinder.

Bumble is divided into three distinct sections: Bumble Date, Bumble BFF, and Bumble Bizz. Each has its own specific goals and works a little differently. Bumble Date is for people looking for a date night or a new relationship.

You can find new friends in your area with Bumble BFF, and then Bumble Bizz is built for professionals to network in their industry. Each different method of using Bumble requires you to rebuild your profile. This means choosing photos to show, writing a short bio, and talking about what you’re looking for.
