Badoo for iPad app review: expand your social network

Introduction

Badoo by Badoo Software Ltd helps you hook up with your friends and new people with this social networking app for your iPad.

There are an astonishing 165 million users of this social networking app, which means the chances of you finding friends both old and new are pretty high. This app is meant to be used for chatting with friends about shared interest, meeting new people, and is even used for dating. The best part is that it's free to use.

The iPad and iPhone dating app is location-based and works by answering questions like who is at the same restaurant as you, who is looking to chat and located nearby, who is available to have lunch with you, and more. If you've just moved to a new city, state, or even country, this is a great way to meet new people in your area.

More Information

While the app is free to download and use there are in-app purchases and subscription packages available. These subscription packages range in price from just $1.99 to a rather steep price tag of $39.99 depending on what you want.

Badoo was updated on Apr. 26, 2013 and currently has 1,080 customer ratings with an average rating of four and a half out of five stars.

I really liked the different ways this app could come in handy - as a new person in a city, as someone looking to branch out of your current network of friends, or someone just looking for conversations with new people. The app was very easy and fun to use as well.

Pros

• The app is location based so it will find people near you
• Very easy to use
• A simple and clean user-interface design

Cons

• The in-app purchases can get very expensive depending on what you pick

For: iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad with iOS 5.0 or later. Badoo is optimized for iPhone 5.
