Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

Nearly all profiles on this app are scammers in other countries lying about their location. The rest are nearly all hideous. There’s maybe 1 real, approachable person for every 100 profiles. On top of that, they constantly reset your search preferences, claiming they’re tailoring your results for you. But really what they’re doing is just erasing everything so you get more irrelevant profiles. Just a horrible scam of an app. I don’t know how they have so many good reviews. I’m thinking they paid people.

Ugliest people on the planet they are all on this site and a lot of fake profiles. The app full of scammers that asking for money. Don’t waste your time here.
Artir1313
I had a deeply negative experience with Badoo. After using the platform for several years, I was unjustly blocked following a situation where a user requested financial support. I simply asked for clarification, yet my account was blocked without warning. The customer service was unresponsive and unhelpful, leaving me feeling unfairly treated. Additionally, the platform's handling of privacy and confidentiality raised serious concerns. Overall, I found the service untrustworthy.
