The well-designed app, which works on iOS, Android and Windows phones is easy to register for, letting you use Facebook or Google+ profiles to speed up the process. It then asks you for some details on who you are and the type of person you are looking to meet before making matches with people who are local to you.
You can also choose to find people by searching profiles or letting Badoo suggest people for you, who you then talk to anonymously. With 47 languages supported, communicating with your matches should be pretty easy. Badoo also offers other features which can be fun to use, including Encounters which brings up profiles for you to rate as a yes, maybe or no (those you mark as yes are told you are interested in them) and a photo rating option where you score people based on how they look in their photo. The latter is probably not for the faint of heart, however. One final feature is ‘bumped into’ which lets you see other users local to you, even if you aren’t a match.

Conclusion
This app is aimed squarely at single people looking to meet other single people in their area, primarily for casual dating. It’s free and easy to use, with a reasonably priced – if somewhat confusing – membership plan. However, with the range of free features available, it may be this is enough for most users. There are no reports of scams on the site, which seems safe and secure to use. However, those looking to remain anonymous should probably proceed with caution as the chat feature that lets you stay hidden does not always work.
If you want to get disappointed and angry at an online dating app then Badoo.com will perform tremendously. I even lack words for this annoying site. I joined, paid up as required and went on seeking matches. Apparently I found some. However, upon sending messages to these women, everything went silent. Not even a single reply. I thought of testing whether these were fake profiles and so asked several to just say they are not interested. Again, not reply! I am convinced they were all fake. The site just wants to lay hands on your money. After that, you are on your own.
The app is really fun, looking at pictures and getting to chat to people for free. But, I don't think I can make a real connection or relationship here. It is too casual. Does anyone know any other site that is suitable for mature individuals and not with scams or frauds?
I love this app. It is easy to sign up to and FREE. hahahaha who does not love free things. I enjoy talking to new people around my area which is very cool. The app is not a scam, people are friendly and real. I advise you try it out if you are a loner like me. No harm in trying out free stuff anyway.
The app is very easy to use. The interface is not only attractive but also casual. I downloaded the app for a potential match yet made some really good friends too as the app allows to find individuals close in my area. There are not a lot of creepy people too!
This app is too casual for my liking. I don't really like it. There are a lot of mature and serious people but the platform is just not comfortable for me. It’s just too creepy being exposed by weirdoes in my area. The tailored search is awesome but not for professional people. If you are looking for friends or a quick hook up, feel free.
I love how the app allows you to choose what exactly you want to do, either simply communicate, go on a date and meet somebody or simply just make new friends. It is very convenient for the modern day individual. I use it as a chatting site too, very useful ??
