Badoo is a piece of $#*! rip off and supportless work of con art. Stay away from it, they beg you for money every step you go, arrogantly try to force you to provide your mobile phone number for unexplained verification or your profile gets completely locked, making it even impossible to subsequently delete it - WTF! - who they believe they are these idiots!

A google search for "Badoo help" brings three results for Badoo's help site and they are all non-functional. No information is listed and the input toolbar yields no returns. Secondarily, I suggest a "Check out" button when a profile has pictures, and have the "Like" button available when there is a reasonable amount of information displayed (i. E. interests, bio, thoughts...).
The chat 'function' is ambiguous and usually unavailable. Lastly, the option to change what I'm there for as well as the age range is non-existent in the profile options.
Like much in the world, Badoo has potential, but it is currently failing.

This is a horrible site. (1) Mostly scammers, robot accounts or abandoned accounts. (2) it will NOT let you delete your account unless THEY send a password to your email, good luck trying to get that password sent, which means you cannot delete your account!
This was the absolute worse dating/social site Ive ever been on.

Ok not surprising, like all other sites like it, or any site that has to do with dating or meeting people. Lots of fake profiles. I'm in Miami fl and I see girls in pics with mountains or snow. Hasn't snowed here since 1977 and no mountains. Also see pics of girls like they live in Paris or some $#*!. Oh yeah and of course, no replies. I was amazed at first and couldn't believe so many people were on there from my city, then I realized it was all fake. Don't waste your money trying to join or get power ups either. I was able to talk and meet one woman. She was on welfare section 8 had 4 kids, didn't work and was renting out rooms in her place illegally for extra cash. I guess if you do get to talk to a woman, she's probably not even worth meeting.

Nice time
April 25, 2016

I see all the bad comments about badoo and I support the opinions that there are many fake profiles. Other than that I met many girls on badoo in real life and with one of them I'm still with. Don't take it seriously. Take it like a nice time looking at strangers pictures and if it comes... It comes:-)

Where do I start on this awful website...
The women are rude, fake, and want nudes day 1, most are underage or using fake ages.

And then there is the worst part. The badoo staff. These air heads flipped out on me via email claiming I was fake and they didn't want me on their site. And deleted me account and all my contacts on it. So a month later I made a new account. The slime at badoo emailed me, and sent me a nasty rude email about my new account basically saying "GTFO" this website needs to be shut down!

It took only one message to show how toxic a woman can be. She took something innocent and turned it into something toxic. Degrading my appearance and my personality. The rest of the women just ignore your messages and you whatsoever. It's disgustingly superficial as the only way picking a date is by seeing the pictures. If you are not a premium member, then you can message a person only if you like that person and he/she likes you back.
In real life, I am likable and I have not had any problems with communicating with women. Here, I felt the ugliest, stupidest and unimportant person ever. It's a nice way to shatter your self esteem.
Do not join this site! Save yourself from the trouble. It's only an ego booster for the attention whoring people.

Big time scam
April 14, 2016

Please ladies don't fall for the army guys is big time scam. They fall in love with you very fast, they tell you they want to marry you, they showed you pictures of their certificate of army, sent you a link to check on them and after that they asked you for money, they need for internet, tell you they are starving they need food, I told him I need to talk to him before. His pictures is a white American guy but he had an African accent. I got in touch with another woman who liked him in facebook and we cough him on a lie.
Please don't fall for them, you will save a lots of headaches.

Over visiting
April 8, 2016

There should be a way for a user to identify the profiles he or she already viewed. I can't remember all the names and profile pics and to make matters worst some names and profile pics change. Users would see me visiting their profiles more than once, twice, three times n think I'm stalking or just being creepy when I'm not, so please fix this Badoo. Thanks

Badoo sucks
March 23, 2016

I honestly believe these sites are not for spanish men. And not only that ppl are on here browsing only and are way too picky. I swear they want perfection. And then they charge you so much for one month. Why cant ppl do a weekly trial..

Used Badoo for about a year... I tbh thought I'd met a few weird and nutty ladies prior to any Internet dates... But there's a lot of needy and disfunctional women here... Although I met my first ever online date here whom was a sweet wee angel... She obviously set a high standard but was a decline fromm there I'm afraid...
