Coffee Meets Bagel review

Coffee Meets Bagel is designed for people who are tired of endless swiping. It asks what you want up front and delivers daily batches of curated matches, and it says 91% of its daters are looking for a serious relationship and that it has made more than 150 million matches. Profiles put the big questions first, such as relationship goals, education, interests and whether someone wants kids. Icebreakers help start a chat, and a Seven-Day Chat Limit nudges matches to set up a date rather than message forever. Besides the daily Suggested picks you can browse Discover or match instantly in Likes You. The free version is usable, and Premium adds unlimited Suggested profiles, unblurred likes, 8 flowers and 1 boost a month, activity reports, read receipts and unlimited rewinds. The US App Store lists 1-month Premium at $34.99 and 12-month Premium at $149.99, which is clearer than most rivals but costs more. The app serves North America and the Caribbean.
