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

Beware of using badoo dating app

This dating app will block/ban you're account for no reason no email explaining on why you're account has been blocked and when you do email the company explaining your innocence they still won't do nothing the app is run by robots and no human to contact to try and slove the problem absolute shameful this app is.

No support whatsoever

Installed the app, tried to sign up, and got blocked immediately with no explanation. No email, no reason, no support, nothing. It's impossible to use an app that won't even let legitimate users create an account. Fix your sign-up system and provide proper error messages.

Terrible experience

Terrible experience. The app blocks new users during sign-up without giving any explanation. I couldn't even create an account, and there was no clear reason or way to fix it. If you're going to reject users, at least tell them why instead of wasting their time. Very frustrating and unprofessional.

It's not worth the money

It's quite a rubbish site and more so as you pay a month's up front to become a premium member and then have to pay more money to message most on the site. Admittedly you can message some people for free. But I suspect the people that are looked at or messaged on a regular basis, are not free to message even with the VIP package. So basically it's a bit of a con!
Also there are profiles on there from people that have been on there years and I suspect are now inactive.?

I have had more luck from Facebook dating which is free to view, message and chat.

Badoo used to be a good and cheap site for dating. I don't mind paying, but I don't want to be ripped off either.

Absolutely stunningly SHOCKING bad.

Absolutely stunningly SHOCKING bad.
My ex messaged them with complete intrusive messages and completely unrelated and untrue about myself.
And I'm blocked from using the site.
Incidentally..I'm a man.
Go figure.
