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

I have been using this application for…

I have been using this application for about three years and I have never paid any money
Every day I was able to make around 50 withdrawals normally

However, this time when I paid for the unlimited withdrawals option, it suddenly became limited to only about 3–5 withdrawals per day and then the withdrawals stopped

At that point I realized that this application is a scam and they just want you to pay more money I have deleted the application and I will not use it again

Good in some countries

The selection of partners depends on the country. In Europe most girls do not live there but want you to pay for their trip to visit you. In Uganda you have a god selection of real girls, ready to meet. In Ethiopia only "princesses" searching Mr Millionaire and in the Philippines girls expecting 10.000 Peso for a visiting you for an hour. Useless. I only use the free version.

Badoo supports male predators

Badoo seem to mostly have creepy losers looking for "ethical non-monogamy", or trying to get sexual straight away. I enjoy giving them a piece of my mind and a tongue lashing but Badoo gives you account warnings if you do. Imagine, post-Epstein, and post-MeToo, clipping the wings of women standing up to creepy men. We are doing holy work. I was sexually assaulted by someone I met on there as well.

Full of fake profiles

Full of fake profiles. I have a proof. One week of just having the on stand-by was enough to realise is just another ‘money-milking’ machine 🤔 guys be careful… wanna find a partner, dont spend money here, wait a week or two, go to the bar, pull your trousers up and say hello to a stranger that you like, its free of charge though 💪

It is ok

Badoo is okay if you just want to meet new people and chat. There are a lot of users, so getting matches isn’t hard, but quality varies a lot. You spend time sorting through inactive profiles, random messages, and people who don’t reply after matching. Not terrible, not amazing - just a middle-of-the-road dating app. From my experience*

Scammers paradise with location settings

The app allows people to choose their location by choice instead of showing a true GPS location. This is a gateway for african, russian and eastern asian women to chose the UK as their location in order to scam people. The fake accounts are in abundance and when reported badoo take no further action on the accounts doing it

Do not pay for a subscription !!!

Once you pay a subscription your account will be shut-down arbitrarily after a time to prevent you using the benefits you've paid for. I presume they're hoping to push you to pay subscription yet again. When you appeal for help via the app the responses are meaningless template responses.

Do no pay a subscription !!!!!!!!
