Ads made this app unusable, especially for an app that potentially has a lot of personal data. The obstructive full screen ads for porn models and "dating hot single women" are horrible, next to those full screen ads there are now also banners on screen at all times in the bottom of the screen. Yes, you can still find and match with people, yes it's free to use in a basic experience, but if you don't want the ads, want to be able to get more access and likes, etc, the subscription is quite hefty

We appreciate your feedback about ads on Badoo. We use ads so our members can chat with their matches for free. If you upgrade to a Premium subscription, you won't see any ads. If you need any help, please contact us on social media @BadooHelp.

After I thought I had cancelled my premium subscription, it turned out that I had been charged for several more weeks. They’ve devised a misleading process that makes you think your subscription is cancelled when it actually isn’t. The app frequently malfunctions when reporting technical issues. I couldn’t delete my profile through the app on my phone or on my laptop, I was forced to contact them by email. Overall, a very poor app and definitely not recommended.

Beware, before you know you will be charged -without being noticed- ridiculous amounts because you have not read the small notes allowing them to charge you for any new connection after a first (small) payment. I got a surprise of 45 Euros in a single day. Besides, if you do not have a top model profile your chances are ridiculously low on most of online dating app. I advise reading about the way women select their match in there, basically "only the top of the top". This one is no exception.
