This app used to be fantastic. However, recent updates have made it nearly unusable due to an overly aggressive ad strategy. Many ads require you to click the "X" multiple times to close them, which is incredibly frustrating. This experience has unfortunately destroyed what was once a 5-star app. Thanks for your reply to my review. It's ads like superlive and tango that incorporate close buttons within the ad that are incredibly frustrating. These kind of ads should be banned.

I took a couple of weeks away from this 'app' and returned to find barely any new people, but the same old app, minimum service, for maximum cost to the user, £5 just to see likes? scam. potential likes nowhere to be seen in 'discover'. no way to chat to anyone without a premium cost. no advantages to users at all. Needs a major rethink and overhaul.

Badoo is actually free to use! We offer paid options for additional services, such as seeing who has liked you, but you can use the Discover section and chat for free with anyone you match. 💜

No one local. Matching with another user said, all of the matches seem to be from overseas. That is not what I'm here for. And now I get a message that members are within the distance filter. That is incorrect. They may initially appear to be within the distance filters I set, but they turned out to be from across the globe somewhere.

Members who appear in the Encounters section are within the distance filter you've selected. However, we may relax these filters once you've voted on all the members within that criteria. To see more members in your region, please try changing your filters to make sure they're not as restrictive. 🌟
