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

Identity theft scam alert

When this app first started in the early 2000's is was a good app with genuine people on it. Then the fakes came along. Still even with them you could filter them out and contact some good people. HOWEVER, the latest version is now forcing people to use official ID photos to be able to log in. THIS IS HOW IDENTITY THEFT HAPPENS PEOPLE!! I could not even log in to delete my profile and details and upon contacting them to say I want to delete my account they told me I must give them a photo of my photo ID showing my full name!! SCAM ALERT!!

You can't just click on the photo from the email that you sent to go to that person's profile. When I filled out my profile, I requested only gay men. I get all straight men!
The other thing is that people don't mark their sexuality. I'm not taking any chances.

TWO PROFILES I CAN'T ACCESS.

When I tried to log in with my number I've only had for ONE MONTH, it says an account already exists. I'm trying to log in, not create a profile. Another attempt it shows an account I had years ago and probably couldn't log into that one. They now have TWO PROFILES with all my details and pictures. I can't delete the old one or log into the new one. I DEMAND ACCESS TO MY PICTURES AND PROFILES. I DON'T GIVE CONSENT FOR THEM TO KEEP MY DETAILS.

Badoo you have lied and blocked my account without reason. You lied that I had sexual pictures and I had nothing like that, you are a liar and people should know that you are distorting people's image which is a violation you should not be up and running anymore !!!!! When asked for proof non was provided you are criminals !!

not enough real chats

I tried Badoo hoping it would be easier to meet people nearby, but most of the time it’s just endless swiping and random messages that go nowhere. A lot of profiles are incactive or fake, and conversations rarely last more than a couple lines.

The app itself works fine, but the overall experience gets tiring quickly. There are better dating apps out there

The first three letters give the game away

The first three letters give the game away!!!
I signed up and read what information was available as to how to proceed. Lots of "Free" which was pretty worthless. To contact, you need to buy tokens. I bought a few and contacted someone. I then decided to buy a lot more as each conversation was charged. I then started finding that a lot of people required Premium Badoo tokens. I said that at 72, I had misunderstood the complicated rules and can I exchange regular tokens for Premium. No. Sorry but we don't do that! No flexibility. No making their rules simpler to understand. Just...... you've bought the wrong product. Now pay a load more and buy the right product. No thanks. You can be a fool once, but never twice. Also, they make other little charges that are annoying and you feel you are being taken for a ride. The dating site game has become very disreputable and Badoo make it even worse. A V O I D.
