Thirst and insecurities
October 26, 2019

Badoo I cool in the fact that it offers live chats. But with all the thirsty lame guys stroke the egos of bored insecure girls that just get on the app for the live chat to get their $#*! kissed i can miss out on it.

AVOID!
September 20, 2023

Since January, Badoo Europe has become massively infested with AI-generated fakes - there are thousands. There are also active hackers, scammers, thieves, & dangerously illegal aliens - but Badoo has taken no action against most complaints. I have screenshots of literally hundreds of AI fakes, but have to Photoshop out my identity 1st.

Site completely horrible. Is very rare that will be anyone you would even want to talk to anyway. Was very bored around holidays and tried. Half people on there were scammers from Guana or somewhere similar posing as someone cute to try to rob you and other half were definitely not attractive barely even human. Had about 2 mini conversations and was bored. They charged CC every 3-4 days for 2 months no approval. Theives will rob you to death.

Openly married men looking to cheat, flagged 5 profiles with graphic photos and disgusting descriptions of sexual acts men are looking to do. Looking to date within my ethnicity and was flooded with men who were not. Deleted after an hour.

Bad site.
July 7, 2015

A guy called Danny Dimitrio stole pictures of my FB after being very insulting. He then found information on my FB & threatened to throw acid in my face. Badoo wouldn't do anything about it. So had to call police. Very dangerous site.

Awful
September 10, 2016

Awful is too generous a word. Badoo is just a profiteering site and app for the owners of it. They don't care about the users. As someone else says, it is a greedy pay site, quote "constantly hounding you to use pay services like sending gifts and stickers, get your message read first, get your profile seen more, and it goes on..."

I found it very costly and any extras you pay for are quickly used up and you are motioned to pay again and again. The extras, the add-ons, are expensive too.

Badoo lets you create a profile on its website with just an e-mail address, and you can use it for a while. Then one day you try to log in and it demands you hand over your cell phone number for SMS verification - even though you signed up without it. I don't have a cell phone, and if I did, I would never give my number to Badoo because they would almost certainly sell it to spammers.

The bottom line is that they hold your profile and pics hostage until you give them your cell phone number. No way to remove your pics or close your account. Badoo is the poster child for why the internet needs to be better regulated.

I identify as female. My photo's kept being rejected. I emailed support to help change my gender identity on the app. They said it was changed, but my photos kept getting rejected. Then my photos appeared again but my gender was change back to male. And so on and so forth. And the custome support people? RUDE AND SARCASTIC. At least Tinder is inclusive and you don't get rejected and have to fight because of your gender identity. Basically, if you "look like a man" Badoo will reject your photos and not allow you to change your identity to female.

Disgusting!
