It is a platform that allows you to meet a partner, friends... and it is easy to use. You can connect from your cell phone or PC, it's very easy.

I got blocked
March 4, 2023

There's a girl in my city that has the same account in multiple accounts with every other dating app and she always has excuses and I told her that it's ridiculous how you're always playing games in line all the time and she's always matching with me and I tell her every time why do you always match with me when you block my number every time and then you're always playing games and making excuses and you're always sending me nudes and it never goes anywhere? They blocked me for sexual-harassment are you kidding me?

Scammers
February 15, 2023

Bought a lifetime VIP from them. And I was blocked after a few days of use. Allegedly for indecent behavior. Although there was nothing like that. I want my money back! I will sue this fraudulent company and write hundreds of negative reviews on all possible resources. These are scammers! Never buy VIP from them. Then they just block you! Give me my money back!
I will be suing them for libel and fraud.

Badoo is that you
February 14, 2023

A lot of the men on Badoo look upset,like they're hungry and angry. I don't know about anyone else,but your looking for something more than a Badoo boo to screw then smile,show some personality. There were some that looked like they care about appearance and look nice. Some actually hold a decent conversation but some I think are looking for Backpage part two ijs. I'm not adding people's pics or screenshots of conversations but some of y'all need to do better stop coming on dating apps for booty

Sadly, Badoo is just another generic dating site that preys on lonely people.

The site proclaims that the site is free to use which is erroneously misleading and wrong. Sure, you can join the site free of charge and you can look through profiles free of charge but that's all you can do unless you pay. You can't send messages, you can't see who 'liked' you as the people's faces are all blurred, you can't send gifts or a crush and you can't see who added you as a favourite. Therefore, this site is completely useless unless you pay. If I could see who liked me and I was interested in them I'd perhaps be more inclined to possibly pay; seeing a blurred face is not going to get me to part with my money.

The search facility is truly awful with the site having an 'encounter' and 'people nearby' feature with both using very limited search settings. The encounter search is merely a swipe left or right while the people nearby is a search for people within a set distance from your town/city. Encounter uses - gender, age and distance while People Nearby merely uses – gender and age. There's no body size, height, race etc so you have to trawl through countless profiles of people whom you have no interest in.

While using the people nearby search you can add someone as a favourite so you can find them again on your favourites list. However, when using the encounters, you can't add someone to your favourite list and you'll have to trawl through 100's of profiles using people nearby in the hope you can find that person. Why you can't favourite someone using both methods seems a bit ridiculous.

There are some real people on Badoo as my sociopath ex is on there but there's so many fake profiles, profiles with nothing on them and dead profiles that haven't been logged in to for a long time that it's not worth your time and effort.

Overall, I can't recommend this site as it offers very little and is just one more dating site that puts all of its limited features and ability to message behind a paywall. The days of dating sites genuinely trying to be a low cost service to help people find a partner is over and are now nothing more corporate entities that use every method to make as much money as possible.

In the dim and distant days of the last decade (2010 to 2019) when Corona was an exotic drink that you bought in the alcohol aisle of Asda, the website Badoo was actually a fairly decent place to hang around and anticipate, at the very least a conversation but after a flurry of post Covid 19 scaremongering, vaccinations and a surge of uber virtual signalling (Black Lives Matter and Transvestite caterwauling), the braintrust at Badoo have opted to suspend accounts that dare to veer from their self appointed path of "wokeness" and more recently, charging people for usage of even the most basic functions of their website, "Premium User"? No thanks, money grubbing cretins.

NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE
November 12, 2022

The story from this site. I met a girl. I liked everything, though I behaved quite strangely. And then they send a notification that you need to pay to continue to correspond. I paid, I write to her further, and it turns out that it was a bot. I do not advise using this! But I recently found a better site. All real people, and you don't even have to pay. Try this https://goo.su/609Rb5F

They have mostly scam profiles and sex workers. Badoo will block you and keep the money you paid and not give a good reason.

I don't use this app no more it doesn't stop abusive ppl from saying rude things and it don't do no history check on anyone to make it safe! Ppl have STDs from sleeping around and some in on Canada's world warrant for killing someone or they get set up get robbed and beat up but Badoo don't share this kind of information so there for you have no damn clue who you are meeting up with it needs to do a history check on ppl I think so it's safe for anyone!

Although Badoo say they don't create fake profiles and they are honest, this is NOT true. There are loads of fake profiles set up by Badoo themselves.
Badoo also say they don't take money unauthorised - another lie as you can see by many of the reviews. As stated by others, they use an illegal pre checked box to get your money. Badoo are breaking the law, they are dishonest and fraudulent. If they reply to this review, please ignore them as it will be lies. Everything I have said is 100% true, I would not post this if I had even the slightest bit of doubt.

It was good when it started but now it's full of catfishers and other sort I'd rather avoid. I've even deleted the app. Unless they take measures to filter profiles better, won't be returning.

False reporting
August 15, 2022

I received a warning message from Badoo saying I wa rude towards a transgender woman and I I just said I don't do drugs and I'm only date women and she marked all my comments as "rude" which it was false and she can't accept a rejection. And I explain to her that I'm a Christian and I don't like drugs. Just leave me alone lady. Take a rejection. And Badoo also shadow banned my account
