Bumpy in one paragraph

In its Google Play listing (October 2026), Bumpy describes itself as a free international dating app with more than 35 million singles in over 180 countries. It offers automatic chat translation, voice intros and photo verification, and lets you choose a continent to meet people on, or local dating. A paid Gold upgrade unlocks unlimited access.

What you get on Amarbis

  • Choose a country, a region or a single city as your destination: Argentina, Addis Ababa or Manila, or the whole world at once.
  • Every profile is reviewed by a real person before it goes live, and every photo is screened for explicit content.
  • Explicit images sent to you in chat are blurred automatically until you choose to see them.
  • Messaging every match is free, with no per-message charges.
  • Every message has a translate button, and the app itself speaks ten languages, including Amharic, Hindi and Arabic.
  • Culture Guide (Premium): short notes about your match's country, so you always have something real to talk about.
  • A free thirty-minute boost every day, for every member.

Built for focus

Amarbis is built for focus: you decide exactly where in the world you want to meet someone, and every person you see has been reviewed by a human first. If you are serious about meeting someone from one particular country or city, that precision matters.

You don't have to choose

Many people use two dating apps at once. Amarbis is free to join and free to message your matches, so it costs nothing to try alongside Bumpy.

Who Amarbis suits best

  • People who want a partner from a particular country or culture.
  • Diaspora communities looking back toward home, for example Ethiopians in the United States.
  • Expats, and people planning a move abroad.
  • Anyone already in, or open to, a long-distance relationship.
  • People learning a language who want more than a language partner.

How to switch, or add Amarbis, in five minutes

  1. Create a free profile with a clear photo of your face.
  2. Write a short bio in your own words, and mention the languages you speak.
  3. Set your destination: one country, a region, a city, or the whole world.
  4. Like the people you want to meet, and start chatting when you match.
  5. Tap translate on any message you can't read.
