Badoo is especially based on matching people using photos and it seems many people don't read the profile texts at all. That causes problems with matching, it seems many people (in my case women) lo... See more

I would like you to show me more people…

I would like you to show me more people who live in the United States, mainly Irvington New Jersey, I mostly meet people who live in other countries. This is the only small problem, I pointed it out. After that, everything is normal, I hope you bring this small correction, thank you.

Nonstop creeps, spam, and fake profiles

I’m a woman (37) and Badoo was awful. Within minutes my inbox was full of gross messages and copy-paste inappropriate stuff. A lot of guys went sexual immediately. Zero basic respect.

Half the profiles are fake or sketchy. Weird photos, empty bios, and messages that read like scripts

It doesn’t feel safe or worth the effort. Deleted it.

Badoo is a scam site

I think the site is a scam,They tell you to join premium to get more likes and more chats You don’t get anything, They don’t even allow people to look at you They just take the money, if I was anybody I would not choose this state for dating it doesn’t do what it is says on the tin. Stay well clear , and anybody that’s paying a subscription now unsubscribe as soon as possible or else you will be bitten more than once , I would advise anybody who wants to go on a dating site to keep wall clear of this site unless you want to be scammed 👎👎👎

99% Scammers… waste of time

i was on Badoo for the first month i was in Cuba… i spoke to over 200 women and only ended up meeting one in person… and her picture on the profile was 20 years old… when i first saw her i thought it was her mother coming out to check me out. i encountered scammer after scammer only trying to steal my money through various approaches… i grew increasingly depressed thinking that this represented the overall state of the dating market in cuba. but as soon as i got off of the site and started to meet girls in person, my life completely changed for the better… now i have more dates lined up with beautiful women then i can handle.

Baddo is a good and perfect app for dating but the problem badoo is having is the blocking once your account is been reported to them please you people should try and work on that place and too monitoring someone conversation is bad our conversation is supposed to be private with us but tho I love the app 🥰

This company is the worst ever

This company is the worst. I still haven’t got my money back and they keep telling me I don’t have to cancel my membership. And so far I’ve spent over $200 on this company with nothing yet as well I purchased my credits from Apple. Meaning they don’t expire.

I found love on the app

I won’t lie — I tried for almost a year. There were moments I wanted to give up. But I stayed patient, stayed hopeful, and kept believing.
On the 4th of November, I got married. We’ve been together for three years now, and today I can truly say that love still exists.
Sometimes it doesn’t come when you expect it. Sometimes it tests your patience. But when it comes, it’s worth the wait.

It's becoming better.

I thinks the algorithm is advancing and there are more views and likes in the free version! Dear Badoo team, Thank you! Specially in the middle east! It was okay in europe but now, I feel like things are different in this region!!! And they improved it to make it work!

Horrible App

Horrible App
don't download, waste of time and emotions. your account gets deleted without your knowledge and reasons given whatsoever. upon querying response is rude, vague with no substance. they are very condescending and no value for clients.
Report the App, Don't download

I am using the site without making any payments yet I have had repeated successes meeting suitable partners in person. This has surprised me since other sites, in the past, when I was far younger and better looking, failed to provide any hits.
Some profiles are clearly bogus, but obviously so.
I don’t see how the site could filter those out without the risk of excluding some genuine.
Lack of enforcement on a prohibition on irrelevant photos and illustrations is a very minor irritation.
