Issues
So every time I open app it have me sign in with email, they send me a verification code and once that’s enter it takes me to security check but it just keeps spinning so I haven’t been able to log back into my account
Limitation
In past it was good, in Iran, despite the restrictions, it was a place to meet and connect. But I don't know why the Badoo team decided to take the path of restrictions and put more pressure on us Iranians?!!

Blocked out of nowhere on some “against community guidelines” for as long as I’ve been a member 👎👎 half a start if was able to
Not available in my country?
What’s the meaning of this? Not longer available in iran
Iranian government is doing all that not Iranian people.
Why us must be punished even in dating app?
This is ridiculous!

Location
I can’t change my location but my friend can even though he doesn’t have premium
Expensive subscription, misleading location filters
I have been using Badoo for months and paid for the subscription, but it feels almost useless. The subscription is expensive, and I don’t see real value from it.
My main issue is the location system. I set my filters to find people near me because I’m looking for someone local - someone I can actually meet for coffee, talk to in person, and build a real connection with. But many profiles are shown as if they are 10, 30, or 50 miles away, and after chatting they admit they are actually in completely different countries.
This is extremely misleading. I’m not looking for long-distance texting with people in another part of the world. I’m paying for a dating app to meet real local people, but instead I keep getting matches that look suspicious, have inaccurate locations, or feel like fake profiles.
Badoo needs to fix location verification and stop showing international profiles as local matches. Right now, the paid experience feels unreliable and misleading.

Potential but Pricey
It’s ok for the 1st few minutes or so and then you have to pay weekly just to like profiles or send messages.
