Ratings and reviews

I'm on a 3 month paid plan and used the app extensively. While it has some features that other dating apps don't, I was quite surprised to see how small their user base is in many countries. And my observation is based on one simple filter : users online at a normal time. As with others apps, there are still plenty of fake profiles. Combine the two and apply one's filters on top, and you're left with a handful of matches. Statistically speaking, a waste of time in search of a great match.

Its the best dating app I've tried. I like how you can watch an Ad to receive a free Like. And if you match with someone you can message them first, and as much as you want. Fully functional app without buying Premium. But they still make money with Ads. Sometimes if you're swiping they play an Ad every 4 or so swipes that takes a while to get past, but its not an issue. So it's a good trade off. 👌 Other dating Apps should follow Badoos example.

Can't recommend. Ads making this a terrible experience. Ads should be diegetic, easy to close, predictable; I'm about done with this app. Seems to respect filters for results, including distance, w/o hiding them behind a paywall. Tooltips keep slowing UX. Some ideas: clearer explanations for the difference between/when to use Waves, Likes, etc., how popularity works, a way to report without blocking, less emphasis on video chat (it's in your face, atm), more accurate "Nearby" results.
