As we’re big believers in the importance of recognition, we’d like to make it super clear our free dating app is a safe space for all sexual orientations (lesbian, queer, gay-dating and all other kinds of dating), faith-based dating (Muslim, Jewish, Christian-dating...all beliefs) and all cultures. At Badoo, we welcome everyone.

SCAM! IT SAYS FREE BUT YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO PAY. I did. Makes you think you have options but you choose certain things you are looking for and it gives you what it wants anyway. you put you want to see people around the country and only gives you people about a 30 MI radius. even after you block people they pop back up, to make it seem you have more options. Tried to cancel but instructions dodn't match app. card was charged for second month even if not using. No customer svice. they don't care!

Never thought it was possible, but it happened. I ran out of swipes in encounter for ages 18=27, with the option of being photo verified. Being photo verified on apps like this, should be a standard. Guaranteed to keep spam and others alike, off the apps. And the fake profiles with a fake location, in my encounters when I set it to 99 miles for distance? Well, don't get me started. I blocked more than I have chatted with by simply asking if they were in the States, and reported for nothing.

We appreciate your feedback, Jonathan. If you want to see profiles based on your location, we advise turning on your GPS and using Encounters. On Discover, we show you members based on different factors — location isn't the main one. We hope this helps! 🙂

the app is free & there are alot of real people on the app. the big catch is that 90% of the users are not in the location they say. like most apps you have to pay to send messages but if you like a profile & they like you back, then you can chat free. that's when I find that they are mostly foreign members. cool if you are seeking a foreign partner. sites that connect people to foreign people usually control messages & don't let you exchange phone numbers or social media profiles. here you can
