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

This app is a huge scam

This app is a huge scam. Only an idiot would pay for this thing! It lures in thirsty, desperate Beta males with false hopes of meeting a real "woman." Every profile on here is a scam. Quality women would never use Badoo. It's all fake. Boycott this parasite app!

I would give this app a zero if I could. This app is full of fake scammer profiles. A very unsafe place to be. I would say 90% of the profiles are scammers waiting to take advantage of you. Avoid it at all costs! Many more reviews of your scum app to come Badoo. You are garbage.

Worst dating app I have ever used

Worst dating app I have ever used. They blocked my profile while failing to explain the reason. They simply sent me the "guidelines" which I already followed to the letter. I tried to contact them 2-3 times but they never answered or solved any problems.
Never had any issue with any dating app till now. This is one is just the worst.

Badoo is the Pinacle of Enshittifying

Badoo is the Pinacle of Enshittifying.
You used to be able to message girls (since im a boy only intrested in girls) straight away, then they added the Wave icon to send a Automatic message. that makes it that alot of people think you are a bot and instantly your matches go into the ground.

On the otherhand, on the phone app, your Filters dont really matter, If you only intrest in girls, Badoo will force Gay men or Men in general through your inboxes and you are forced to scroll through them, wich is just absolutely insane. Other people (not disclosed wich original sex) are forced through it too. wich just makes Filters pointless.

Badoo Premium is also the biggest scam / waste of money ever. You keep seeing ads, You cannot message any (decent looking) girls, and thats locked behind a even bigger paywall, so you keep paying to get a higher guaranteed match.

Then girls who change their location to a place they dont live in, wich is at this moment the BIGGEST issue Badoo is having. You need to intensely screen someone to figure out if she lives in your place (country) yes or no

They should remove the Change of country all together and force people to use their current location. And if you WANT to look for someone, you can look in that destinctive place INSIDE that country you are living in, so say. I live in utrecht, but i want to look for girls in Eindhoven (netherlands), so you can filter out all the Real-Fake accounts on Badoo.

Reporting bugs dont seem to care for the Devs either. reported many bugs and 5 years later they are still on badoo. Recommendations or other experiences dont seem to give a damn either.

Blocking people doesnt seem to work either, i blocked alot of people and some days later they appear again. So TLDR : the app is garbage.

But its a higher average app compared to Tinder/Hinge/Bumble etc. since they have more or other issues preventing you of matching with someone

they promote fraud and catfishing

this app/company, promote catfishing and fraud. they allow people to use other people's pictures on profiles to catfish people, they allow people to put their location as anywhere in the world so u can match with someone who is lieing about their location and most likely who they are.

I love this platform

I love this platform. It really make me feel open to the people that I meet. Its true that this platform is where you can end up with your life partner with the same life purposes. And therefore I love it. The openness, the way people interact and also willing to get to know each other with confidence. Because this platform is living their purpose slogan and it is living it's full potential. But further than that it is a 5-star recommendation from me. Which mean 10/10.
