At Badoo, we welcome everyone.

For every 4-5 profiles that I swipe left or right, I get an advert. It wasn't like this last year. This app was actually decent because I eventually got a date with someone, but now it's just unusable. 90% of the people on the app lie about their location, which was already an issue on the app when I first downloaded it, and there are so many fake profiles. And when in a rare occurance I get a match, they don't talk or start talking in a different language despite "living 5 miles away."

Good at first with intro and everything but then it becomes a pay wall to talk to anyone despite there being annoying adverts on there. It's a borderline scam now compared to how it used to be. Paid results don't get results as suggested. Half the "people" on there falsify their location claiming to be a mile away but actually in Africa. Also don't see why we should have to upgrade to premium just for the same thing. Still see ads on there.

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.

half the time it doesn't load pictures of profiles, tried forcing a stop, restarting my phone, so uninstalled app and reinstalled it, and to my SURPRISE you can't log back into your profile, so tried to set up another profile and now it won't upload my pictures, UPDATE, I have successfully uploaded pictures eventually and now I can't see other people's pictures, complete waste of time. UNINSTALLED
