Badoo makes claims that they can't match up to. Here are the problems that I ran into:
1). Upon signing up I was force to include my exact place of residence. This doesn't allow for much privacy if you live in a small town or village.
I don't see anything wrong with allowing for a general area; I. E. Metropolitan or Metroplex.
2). Even though you put a specific distance for searches and being seen or other people searching you, it does not work.
I don't won't to be contacted by people in the Philippines and Hong Kong. I don't want to be contacted by anyone beyond 200 miles.
3). Even though you outline the specifics of who you want to see and be seen from; you still get everything out there.
Matter a fact, I haven't seen one person on this app that I would be excited about meeting.
3). Badoo customer service is non-existing. I have contacted them four times in a weeks' time and haven't heard back from them yet.
And one last thing; I gave them one star only because there is no zero star.

STAY AWAY! THEY STEAL YOUR MONEY! THEY DO NOT FULFILL THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS!
They charged me for the premium account by a trick! When I understood that I had paid unintentionally, I asked them for a refund but they won't accept it. In terms and conditions, it states that, unless you download features, you are eligible for a refund. However, the scum that is on their "support" team won't admit it and he doesn't even answer my emails! Of course my bank is notified and I am going to take legal action. STAY AWAY!
(I am attaching a screenshot to verify that they DO NOT FULFILL THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS)

You allow scammer on your web site lots of them. You should be able to greet and. Meet people with out this problem... ladies don't talk to Jerry Berg he is a scammer. Heads up
REAL TALK.
Some people have nothing else to do than impersonate women on line. This site (Badoo) is full of those false persons. Very annoying. I cannot imagine a worst site than this one.
Why is it that when I type whole country for location it only shows me Chicago Michigan Minnesota Pennsylvania and Ohio it never showed me what state I'm in no State on the west coast at all I think they go by what you say your race is and put you in specific places to keep you there this really sucks
Site is generaly make to suck money out of you. The chances to meet someone is close to zero.
System constantly send you messages that other people are intested in you, but that is a cheat. When you pay, then you see that actually you meet the criteria of that person. But, that person didnt even saw your profile.
Bad site. Dont waste time.
