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 !!!!!!!!

Real girls

Real girls, real meeting of dates, real sex.

Unlike Tinder, you can actually meet people on here that are real. Tinder does have real people but I believe there are more bots than people on there. I get dates on Badoo all the time.

I would like you to show me more people who live in the United States, mainly Irvington New Jersey, I mostly meet people who live in other countries. This is the only small problem, I pointed it out. After that, everything is normal, I hope you bring this small correction, thank you.

Nonstop creeps, spam, and fake profiles

I’m a woman (37) and Badoo was awful. Within minutes my inbox was full of gross messages and copy-paste inappropriate stuff. A lot of guys went sexual immediately. Zero basic respect.

Half the profiles are fake or sketchy. Weird photos, empty bios, and messages that read like scripts

It doesn’t feel safe or worth the effort. Deleted it.

Badoo is a scam site

I think the site is a scam,They tell you to join premium to get more likes and more chats You don’t get anything, They don’t even allow people to look at you They just take the money, if I was anybody I would not choose this state for dating it doesn’t do what it is says on the tin. Stay well clear , and anybody that’s paying a subscription now unsubscribe as soon as possible or else you will be bitten more than once , I would advise anybody who wants to go on a dating site to keep wall clear of this site unless you want to be scammed 👎👎👎

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.
