Badoo

The social network Badoo is one of the most famous Android apps to go on dates and meet new people. Find your perfect match among the users of your city

One of the dating requests par excellence

The internet in general and smartphones in particular have become one of the most popular ways to meet and flirt with new people. That's definitely because virtuality helps overcome the awkwardness you feel when approaching someone you care about, like we've been in bars and discos all our lives. Well, also in gyms, libraries, schools and universities.

Among the most popular apps of this type that you can download to your Android or iPhone, we have to mention Tinder with its classic yes and no system of choosing someone based on their photo. But there are other equally interesting apps that appeared long before Tinder, such as Badoo, which has been bringing together couples from all over the world for years.

The best dating app? That depends on your skills

Yes, these apps can help, but they don't work miracles, so it doesn't matter how easy they make things if you don't know how to sell yourself well. At least this one is free, which is a considered consideration for many users. You can end up meeting girls and guys without paying a dime, but if you want to be at the top, you might have to make some in-app purchases.

In its favor we have to say that it's one of the longest running resources on the web to find your significant other, since it started out as a website (which is still running) and eventually evolved into a mobile app for iOS and Android in the APK -Format. Therefore, it comes with a lot of features that have been expanded and improved since its first appearance:

• Over 300 million users from all over the world on this social dating network. Find people from any city or region you can imagine.
• Send messages and chat with other users.
• Complete your profile with pictures, videos and personal information such as interests and hobbies.
• Find people by their location thanks to your GPS.
• Use the features of other dating apps like happn to find out who you've met.
• Search for your significant other using various criteria to filter the results.
• Share your profile with other social networks like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Badoo or Tinder? Which one is better?

A few lines above we mentioned one of the most successful dating and meeting apps, but how it works is very different from the app we're dealing with now. As you know, Tinder shows us tons of photos, and the user decides whether they want to meet that person based on their profile picture. When there is a match (both users say yes), then communication between them begins, allowing them to find out more about each other.

However, in this case it is different because although our physical aspect is important, users can configure a profile where they can fill in different fields to describe themselves physically and intellectually and they can even say whatever they want, to get the attention of the opposite sex.

Premium Features

The app also includes premium features that need to be purchased separately. Known as superpowers, they allow users to top search results and become visible to other people. These powers must be acquired through in-app purchases, but there are some tricks and tricks to get the Badoo superpowers for free.

Anyway, if you want to meet new people through your phone, this is one of the best methods: easy, fast and cheap.
