The Bottom Line: BimBim is a newer cam site, but it’s developed by the same company that owns LiveJasmin so there’s plenty of experience behind it. It has a clean interface and the platform is designed with some social media platform features in mind. On BimBim, it’s easy to watch shows and engage with models in various ways.
👍 PROS:- Incorporates some cool social features
- Really nice interface reflective of current design
- Filters and navigation operate similarly to mobile interface
- Great on mobile devices
👎 CONS:- A lot of the same models as LiveJasmin
- Social media-like interface may not be for everyone
BimBim Navigation and Filters
It’s clear that BimBim wanted to use a design that is very mobile friendly and also functions similarly to popular social media channels. While the basic layout remains familiar to other cam sites, the navigation is a bit more dynamic and clean.
BimBim Navigation
In a lot of ways, BimBim has simplified its navigation compared to other cam sites. Most of what you’ll need is located on the left hand menu.
On top there are three navigation options that take you away from the site’s main page:
• History: This section of the site displays all of your watch history of cams that you’ve clicked into.
• Favorites: Gives you direct access to all of the models you’ve favorited.
• Messenger: The messenger is your messaging center that functions similarly to how social media messaging does.
Below those navigation links are filters members can use to display the models and cams they want to see based on specific criteria.
• Tags: The layout of the tags is very visually pleasing and easy to use. Just click on a tag button to show results under that tag.
• Willingness: Users can select the acts that they’re looking for a model to be willing to perform.
• Appearance Filters: There are a number of appearance related filters available, including Age, Ethnicity, Appearance, Breast size, and Hair. Each sub-menu is expandable with various options.
• Price: Narrow results down based on the per minute cost for shows.
• Show type: Search by the type of show you’d like to experience.
• Language: Choose among English, German, Spanish, French, and Italian languages.
BimBim Special Features and Extra Content
Battle Webcams
One of the more intriguing special features on BimBim is Battle Webcams. This is a feature heavily based on a feature of a very popular mainstream social media video app. Battles allows two models to join their streams together in a “battle” format. It’s a newer feature, so it has yet to catch-on with most models, but has a lot of potential.
Messaging & Stories
The way the Messaging interface is done seems more engaging than some other longstanding cam sites simply because it feels more like a social messaging app. Users have the ability to message models directly by using Credits and the messages stay in the messaging center. It feels a bit more intimate than a lot of cam site messaging.
Similarly, BimBim has incorporated the popular Stories feature that many cam sites have adopted. This also allows for more intimate engagement with models’ and their day-to-day lives.
Translations
One of the cooler features of the live chat feature is that users can actually activate live translation. That means if a model speaks a different language from you, you can still understand them on some level by using this feature.
Mobile Site
For cam users who like going onto cam sites on their mobile device, the BimBim mobile site is fantastic. It’s very sleek and smooth. The product designers clearly put a lot of focus into the mobile experience of the site. When viewing a live cam, the stream fills the screen fully. The chat scrolls on the bottom third of the screen with a transparent background so as to not obstruct the video. Menu options are accessible via small icons.
Awards
BimBim offers weekly Awards to models. It’s a competition wherein models earn points for user interactions with them. Essentially, if you want to support a model’s chance to win the weekly prize of $10,000, you’ll need to spend Credits on various actions with them or by giving them tips.
BimBim Bonus / Welcome Offers and Premium Member
Users can get 9.99 free credits (about a $10.00 value) as a welcome offer bonus if you verify your credit card.
When you simply register for a BimBim profile you’ll automatically be a Basic Member. Once you purchase Credits for the first time, you’ll be upgraded to Premium Membership status. Premium Member status gives users options to privately message models even when they’re not on live cam. They can also send gifts during their streams.
While Premium Members don’t have to pay an additional monthly free or anything like that for the status, they also don’t receive an additional discount off of the purchase of Credits.
BimBim Pricing
BimBim uses a Credits system that’s unsurprisingly very similar to LiveJasmin. You can purchase Credits by the package:
• 27.99 Credits for $35.99
• 67.99 Credits for $79.99
• 97.99 Credits for 112.99
• 157.99 Credits for $178.99
There are many more ways to spend Credits on BimBim, so many users find that it’s easy to spend them quickly with all the engaging features on the platform. As with LiveJasmin, there’s better dollar value the larger the Credits package you buy.
BimBim: The Bottom Line
BimBim is an exciting new platform for cam sites. While it’s still developing, there are many aspects to its interface, design, and features that make it very intriguing for the future. BimBim finally gives mobile cam site users the interface and user experience they deserve.
It may take a little time to develop a larger community of models, but those who get on early may benefit from being established users in the future. There’s a lot to like here and clearly the product designers are heavily invested in the site’s development.
