1. BeNaughty AU review: overview

BeNaughty has been around for many years delivering what it promises: A naughty time for adults. There is something refreshing about a site that delivers its brand message so openly. So many sites have obscure names that hint at naughtiness, but don’t state it outright. BeNaughty is naughty and proud.

We put this cheeky dating service through its paces with a thorough review of the service and how it delivers for Australia.

2. BeNaughty AU Experience Test

The BeNaughty AU snapshot test is based on thorough usage and exploration of BeNaughty. To produce a complete overview of the user experience we made a profile on the platform and browsed through it as an ordinary user (man seeks woman). We then looked at all features and conducted first chats.

We also checked BeNaughty AU’s reputation, going through customer reviews and forums to build an impression of how users respond to the product.

First ideas about BeNaughty AU

From the get go, a few things about the service are clear. Number 1, that it is a website targeted more at the casual segment of the market. Then, that it has an up market atmosphere and thirdly that it focuses on helping you find people who are into the same sort of relationships as you.

Right at the beginning of the registration process, you are prompted to choose the types of encounter that you are seeking. Is it ’Watching’ or ‘Something longer term’, for example. This theme runs through the site and you are requested, in different ways, to define a) what type of dater you are and b) what type of meet up you are after.

Member no. Test

To attain an idea of the number of members online, we undertook a contact count score. Dating services come in many distinct set ups, but the most key matter for the client is how many contacts he or she gets involved with. How many folk get in touch and how many people answer to messages. Our activity ranking produces a grade against this all-important assessment for every company we look at. BeNaughty AU did extremely well in this test. There were plenty of members online and it looked like a goodish distribution of users across the state.

What the profiles look like on BeNaughty AU

The profiles we viewed on BeNaughty were appealing. Most, if not all, had at least one profile picture and reasonable levels of written information. Most importantly the women looked hot. There was quite a range of types and sizes, but in the round, fairly attractive types

People pretending to be other people can be an issue for nearly all dating companies and the test of a service is not whether they have fake profiles on their books, but how many. However, our impression of BeNaughty AU was really fairly positive. BeNaughty features a really robust procedure of profile validation and most of the profiles looked authentic to us. 

3. BeNaughty AU Features and Profiles

The registration process is super quick - in fact only one page long!  You will need a real address as you have to activate your new account through your email.

4. BeNaughty AU Customer Service

Customer service quality is a very significant issue with online dating sites. The extent to which dating sites address and solve the troubles and problems their customers have fluctuates largely between services. How easy is it to get hold of customer services? How speedily do they respond to customer enquiries. Does the firm run auto renewal and how easy is it to cancel this?

Design of BeNaughty AU

It's a simple but jovial site. With the cheerful orange theming, nice devil imitation logo and filing card style profiles it delivers the brand message very effectively. The site also  is straightforward to navigate and makethe most of.

Mobile use at BeNaughty AU

BeNaughty has a simple but effective app. Additionally they have a mobile-browser-compatible version of the site.

5. Is BeNaughty AU value for money?

Most dating companies hand out a free introduction to their product, but to use the service properly and communicate with your matches you always have to pay for a Premium Account. BeNaughty AU is not an exception and to communicate with your contacts, you have to pay. We are not going to quibble with the necessity of this. Customers always have to pay if they want to use a reliable service. Instead, we focus on how BeNaughty AU performs on a ‘value for money’ reckoning. Is it good value relative to other sites on the market?

*these prices were current at the time of writing, but may change

We recommend you choose the six month package. It’s a considerable initial price, but once done you’ll be able to relax and use the service well.

Final tip: When you’re online searching for the perfect causal encounter don’t forget that it often takes time even to set up the most fleeting of meet ups. Don’t rush it. Take your time and chat around common topics of interest. We think that you should be aiming to put in half an hour or so of chat or exchange 5 or 6 messages before you put in a date request. Hurrying this process is a quick route to rejection.
