Ads made this app unusable, especially for an app that potentially has a lot of personal data. The obstructive full screen ads for porn models and "dating hot single women" are horrible, next to those full screen ads there are now also banners on screen at all times in the bottom of the screen. Yes, you can still find and match with people, yes it's free to use in a basic experience, but if you don't want the ads, want to be able to get more access and likes, etc, the subscription is quite hefty

We appreciate your feedback about ads on Badoo. We use ads so our members can chat with their matches for free. If you upgrade to a Premium subscription, you won't see any ads. If you need any help, please contact us on social media @BadooHelp.

matches you with people that say are within so many miles. Almost all the people matched are out of country and are no where near enough to go on an actual date with. edit response to developer: it doesn't matter what distance you put in for your matches, it will still bring up people outside the filter to match with, so even with that you're still matching people way outside the country. you will also frequently match people who put the wrong location, because they "want to meet new people."

Hi Bob. Thanks for your review. 💜 We're sorry to hear you haven't found anyone near you yet. Try expanding your age and distance preferences, and don't forget to ensure your filters (found in the Settings menu) aren't too restrictive. We hope that helps! 💫

Just another rip-off dating site. with a sexist twist! Females can go free. Charge £19.99 but you still cannot contact people in the 'gallery' You still have to spend £14.99 on credits to chat. EXAMPLE:- If you're not interested, swipe left. If interested swipe right. But as another payment is required. So your 'like' will not be seen. Save your money from this second rate, poorly administered, site, where they actually make contacting people next to impossible, without spending a lot of cash.

Members can message anyone they match with for free! 💜 Badoo is free to use. If two members don't match, they'll need to use credits to start a chat. We don't want our members to be bombarded by many messages, which is why we've implemented this feature.
