Badoo

Out of all kinds of dating apps, Badoo is definitely one of the more popular ones. When it comes to Badoo, at first sight, it looks like any other dating app. However, there is more than meets the eye. The app is completely free to use, but you can purchase some credits for bonus features.

Before we get a bit deeper into the review, you might be wondering, what is the male to female ratio? Well, it might come as a surprise, but it seems pretty balanced. Of course, this will depend on the area you live in.

Badoo is easy to use

After you are done registering for an account, you can fill up all kinds of information in your profile. The better you optimize your profile, the higher your chances of matching someone are. Unlike Tinder, which is kind of intended for hook-ups, Badoo is an app intended to make genuine and meaningful connections. You can choose if you are looking for friendships or relationships.

Of course, you have the standard dating app method of swiping left or right depending if you want to match with them or not. However, unlike most apps, where you are forced to see only one person at a time without knowing who else is in your area, Badoo lets you see people who are near you.

Not only can you see them, but if you have Badoo premium or credits, you can send them a message without matching them. Of course, it is still up to them to accept the message and continue the conversation, but it certainly works better than going through random profiles.

Because there are no fake accounts, or bots on Badoo, I can easily recommend it. Using it is really simple, and it has quite a lot of advantages over other dating apps. Naturally, there is room for improvement, but considering the app is free, try it out.
