Lumen became part of Bumble [Review]-The dating app for over 50s
Lumen became part of Bumble Nov.23rd in 2020.
Lumen is the first ever dating app created specifically for seniors who are above the age of 50. It is an easy to use dating app specifically tailored for people of the older generation.
Lumen-50s is young in the app.
However, dating app users seemed to want more choices than the category of only 50 years old and over. As a result, it was disconnected from the people who were connected by Lumen, and they had to start over beginning with Bumble.

Lumen Verdict
| Pros |
• Lumen is extremely useful for people who are 50 years old and above and looking for companionship within their age range. Due to the criteria and strict rules that this app is solely for those who are 50 and above. Therefore, there are higher chances of finding the person for you. • Strict facial verification system in order to prevent catfishing. 3 photos or more will be used to identify the user, by using reverse image search AI. In addition to adding 3 pictures on your profile, a live photo verification by taking a selfie is needed to ensure and verify an account. If photos provided by users are against the user guidelines, the profile will be temporarily unusable. • Easy user interface. Profile can be easily created and user selection is either passing on someone or messaging them. |
|---|
| Cons |
• Users might not be happy with the limitation in regards to the amount of messages you can send to other people even with a premium account. This is a feature implemented by the creators in order to stimulate a more meaningful conversation. • Time limit in regards to replying other users. The 7 day limit may not be helpful for those who are busy with work. • Limited user selection based on location. • Lack of location limitation, therefore profiles displayed may be too far. • Slightly more expensive premium membership. |
In conclusion, if you’re 50 years old and above, looking for a dating app that is easy to use and specifically towards your generation unlike other major dating apps such as Tinder, definitely download and try your luck with Lumen. Lumen is easy to use and most people know what they’re there for. Though, the dating pool might be limited if you live in a less populated area.

Lumen Review
Pros
Based on user reviews, profiles displayed on Lumen are usually legitimate as a facial recognition system is used during profile registration. Therefore, there are lower risks of fake profiles or catfishes, allowing users to be in a safe environment.
Users are satisfied with basic features being provided to free users as they do not inhibit the dating process in comparison to other apps. In addition to that, albeit the prices of paid membership being more expensive in comparison to major dating apps, users are satisfied with their upgraded membership and has found the premium option to be relatively useful.
Cons
One of the biggest complaint that has been brought up by users is the issue with the location setting. Profiles being displayed on the app may be too long of a distance as there is a lack of limitation settings.
Lumen is dependent on the user’s geographical location, there may be less choices and profiles to choose from if the user lives in a less populated area.
One other thing to take note of is the higher pricing when it comes to the prices of premium membership options being offered in comparison to major dating apps such as Tinder, Bumble and et cetera. Besides that, even with premium membership, premium users still have limited privileges such as only having 12 conversations instead on 6 and a 1 day conversation extension advantage.

Signing out is extremely simple with one simple click on the Log Out button. Account > Log Out.
