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

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 payment …

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.

I wouldn't recommend this site

I wouldn't recommend this site. Most profiles won't let you text first unless you buy credits. 100% of the messages I've received have been ladies in Thailand or Kenya. This is despite my having a distance filter in the settings. Not recommended unless you want to find a bride from overseas.

Sham of a site

Got blocked for no reason oh no tried to say I was inauthentic yet I’m photo verified . I encountered daily abuse from men and ninety percent of the profiles were African scammers and men in sunglasses . They treat decent people like criminals yet leave the abusers , scammers , men in sunglasses on there . Mostly likely charging men the earth just to be on there and booting off decent women like me . It’s a shame as there were some decent men on there . No one on there not even admin knows what photo verified means at all . Any I blocked had hundreds of alternative profiles so you’d block then they’d appear in your matches again . The joke is I worked for them for a month years ago and recommended a complete overhaul back then and it’s got a billion times worse since . I encountered prisoners , men in mental health facilities and horny men all asking for sex two seconds after saying hi . If you said no they’d call you every name under the sun , call you fake and report you for nothing . If you still have manners , decency and respect for yourself and others don’t sign up . Never encountered so much hate from people that apparently matched and liked you in my entire life . Should rename it pervs r us and even straight guys were telling me they were getting propositioned by gay men . Do better Badoo .!!!

They don't care

If this site is moderated as the owners claim, why have I had a profile with a penis drawn onto the girls mouth for over a month on my recommendations?

Absolute scam site, full of foreign scammers and the above provides clear evidence that the owners do not care, well they do, they care about lining their pockets.
