I am very disappointed. I bought a premium subscription before the war, but now I cannot access my account because Badoo has banned Iranian users. After the internet restrictions were lifted, I tried to log in again, but the app still says this service is unavailable for Iranian users. I paid for this service and lost access without any refund or solution. Please respect paying users and reconsider this decision.

I'm deleting it. You have to pay for everything I mean everything. Poor on founding people near you. Really 800 - 1,200 miles away 😂🤣 I'll be broken *** This App is garbage 🗑
★★★★ André Fantozzi 7/1/2026
It's 💩 as it's a huge pay wall and you get absolutely no matches! Just feels boring and dead!
★★★★ Filthy IsMe 7/1/2026
Two tier application/policy. Many profiles hides their faces behind sunglasses or some random nature pictures. Or add other people in their photos. I confirmed my face via verification. i got my account blocked within 24h i paid my top subscription. I want my refund back. I paid for plus subscription first then most expensive. Didn't use app even 3 days. Got my money around 13 pounds stolen.

★★★★ Michael Smith 7/1/2026 v5.472.0
more than half the users are not from where they say, use false locations use fake pictures and if reported badoo says not enough evidence even thought it states they're from the other side of the world on their profile
★★★★ Josh Shankowsky 7/1/2026 v5.472.0
I'm probably going to get a response that's generic and a poor excuse from the developers. You cannot switch screens on the app without ads. You cannot load the app without ads, I understand ads are need to help pay for the app, but it's way too intrusive and it's sad because their premium members probably don't offset costs or they're greedy. Now the quality aside from ads: poor. Most locations are faked so you'll never get anyone local. Now.. if you use the app the button to skip ads never sho

to many scammers and men pretending to be women asking to send them ewallet for their pics and videos, it's also very rare to meet other races mostly black women on this!

★★★★ awais mashkur 6/30/2026 v5.472.0
total useless app. you have to purchase from very start. not worthy at all.
★★★★ Black Cash 6/30/2026 v5.471.0
pay to win type of app
★★★★ Mark Wendland 6/30/2026 v5.472.0
I have been targeted by scammers on this site and have falsely accused me of spreading hate. Today I received a message that another report and I will be banned. Too many scammers / fake profiles of allegedly women trying to scam people out of money or information.
★★★★ Ya Boi Wes 6/30/2026
truly terrible app, paywall at every corner with zero user engagement and flooded with bots
★★★★ Gary Howe 6/30/2026 v5.472.0
Your new feature that shows current location and chosen location doesn't work. It shows people as their current location is in London, yet their exact location is in Thailand or Africa.
★★★★ Ryan Clements 6/30/2026
out of the 20 to 25 matches ive had they have all been women from Africa and the Philippines, I dont want a mail order bride thanks.
★★★★ Rose Ochankpa 6/30/2026

This app sucks you can't even curse, and if it slips out you're gonna get ban, like, make that make sense
★★★★ Gabor 6/30/2026
If there is a lame app, then this is it.
★★★★ Edward Magri 6/30/2026 v5.472.0
Absolute trash. You will spend €100 before you even start, and €500 before you know it. The database is tiny; you run out of profiles in one day. Then it forces you to a "Discover" page where you can't even like anyone-you must pay just to message! They demand endless tokens daily for basic features. Pay to show you're online, pay to see likes, pay to Super Like, pay for fake boosts. It is a manipulative pay-to-play scam. Total waste of time and money. Avoid!
★★★★ Yandel Ritz 6/29/2026
Horrible, solo quiero eliminar mi cuenta pero no me deja salir de la ventana de verificación, TIENEN QUE ARREGLAR ESO!! 😡

★★★★ Aogava 6/29/2026 v5.472.0
SAVE FILTERS. How much users need to beg you to do such a basic feature? This low review will be until you give asked feature.

Just blocked me after I subscribed, at least refund my money please 🥺. I didn't go against the rules or anything
★★★★ Michael 6/28/2026 v5.472.0
BADOO IS A SCAM APP! went away from this app for years.. just tried it again... still the majority of profiles are from south America pretending to be local. full of scam profiles and old inactive profiles. every like you get is from out of country and they use those out of country likes to try to manipulate a long term subscription... turn on your GPS and set to local and you get out of country profiles that claim to be 10 miles away from you but are on another continent. BADOO IS A SCAM APP!
★★★★ Solis Balkans 6/28/2026 v5.472.0
Bitchy rules etc..
★★★★ Yelly Beam 6/28/2026 v5.472.0
trash app, used to be decent. now you get an ad that you MUST watch every few swipes or so. deleted instantly.
★★★★ Sandra Mtz 6/28/2026 v5.193.1
This app is complete garbage. It used to be good for making real friends, but now it has turned into a miserable business that privatizes human connection 🙄👎

cant log in
★★★★ Odong Udoh 6/28/2026 v5.417.1
You block accounts without due investigation or listening to appeal. your bots flagged up words and without you reading to understand context, you just ban the account because of a flagged word in the sentence
★★★★ Obukome Godstime 6/28/2026 v5.472.0
badoo is a useless app
★★★★ gdsgguhh bhvgjcdhb 6/27/2026
they sure try very hard to make you purchase the app you cannot talk to literally anybody unless you buy the app
★★★★ janet cherop 6/27/2026 v5.460.0
Terrible experience, why would you block someone just an hour after downloading the app, stupid management, I hate this app very much,don't deserve even a single star
★★★★ Jonathan Connor 6/27/2026 v5.472.0
Ads. Ads everywhere. open the app? Ad. swiped a few people? Ad. clicked on a chat? Ad.
★★★★ Adrian Dasal 6/27/2026
this app used to be a good app, but now its now flooded by ads, ads per swipe.
★★★★ Yacine Zeggaf 6/27/2026 v5.471.0
SCAM ALERT! PURE THEFT! Do not install this app. I explicitly unsubscribed, but they bypassed it and illegally charged my card anyway. To make it worse, the charge didn't even give me a service or extend a premium they literally just stole my money for nothing. Their customer support is an absolute joke; there is no real email, just a useless AI chat that resolves nothing. It is a total ripoff. Watch your bank statements, they will rob you blindly. Zero stars. Avoid!
