Badoo 2.8.0.0

Discover new people and make friends in your area with a smart app for your Windows Phone
Socialization takes many forms and in these modern times there are plenty who look to meet the right person for them or simply reach out for a friend they want to meet through the virtual world.

Lots of applications can be used for such purposes and one of the dedicated utilities that is across several platforms and also exists in form of an online service is Badoo.

Nice looking interface, with a well-thought design

This utility comes with a rather stylish GUI that has some really cool graphics you can enjoy in every section of the app. The navigation inside the application's menus and through the profile photos or other details is smooth and without any noticeable flaws.

The functions are placed conveniently and from the left side menu you will be able to easily browse the various categories listed inside Badoo.

Detailed profiles and relevant user photos

One thing is certain about this app and the service it is linked with and that it is all about real people. The profile you create has to be validated and you are required to add at least one photo from which your face is clearly distinguishable.

Completing the profile information in full is not mandatory, but it will surely help other users find out more about yourself and it can also increase your chances of meeting persons that are very close to your likes.

Explore and get to know people on the go

Badoo has an interesting system of awards that honor active and popular users and there are even some so-called "Super Powers" that will require a purchase in order to have them unlocked so they can help in boosting your profile.

The premium features include a lot of extra functionality, but if you are not willing to try them out just yet, you can remain a basic user and look for people to chat with, make friends or even date. The filtering options for the "Settings" will help a lot in refining the search and content you are presented with.

The utility is able to keep you posted about each received message, new comment posted or people who want to get in touch and these notifications will arrive as SMS messages or emails, depending on the preferences you set.

Bottom Line
Design / UI9
 

The app has a really nice look to it, with beautiful graphics and an easy to use interface, so it scores very well from the visual perspective.

Function7
 

The features packed inside this utility could receive some additions because it is rather basic at this time.

Security8
 

Generally a well-behaved application, this tool requires access into many system areas, but a couple of them seem unrelated to its functionality.

Battery5
 

Using Badoo for longer periods of time will take a quite heavy toll insofar as the battery usage is concerned because it uses a lot of power at all times.

Price8
 

Most features are made available freely, but there are some functions which require payment to use, so the overall value of the app decreases a bit.

Compatibility10
 

Pretty much any Windows Phone user can benefit from having this utility installed onto their device as it only requires version 7.5 or higher of the operating system.
