Badoo Dating App: Meet & Date

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.

Creating a profile is super easy and makes it easier to see if you and someone else would match or not but in order to see your likes (matches or people interested in you) you have to pay for a subscription, some have just direct messaged me without liking but they all seemed like bots. I didn't even last a full six hours before I got rid of the app and just went ahead and deleted my account.

I've been using this app for quite a while and it's just gotten almost unusable. The "local" encounters aren't even on the same continent and the amount of ads has just become ridiculous. Swipe a few times, then an ad. Swipe once more, another ad. Swipe a few more, another ad. There are also fake profiles who want to try to scam you, but that's on all the platforms. There used to be a time when this app was decent and I didn't mind using it, but that day has long gone.

Without premium, every 8 profiles you get an ad. Most of the time it is an annoying full-screen ad. You know, the kind that blares sound at you and you have to wait to skip? Also, your filter settings other than age and distance NEVER save. Every time you open the app they clear. Lastly, you can just set your location where ever. Lots of people from asia with US locations and some even tell you in their profile they aren't in the US but just lied about their location.

It was chill when I had some free time, just swipe and keep swiping. I get the ads in the swipes, but I don't get nearly enough matches or conversations to get violently interrupted every few swipes by an ad. I would understand if I was getting more matches and more conversations. But now I don't want to open the app because the return for me is minimal, but you throw an ad in my face more than I get matches, which makes me wonder if you only care about money. You might wanna turn the ads down.
