I only use this to contact friends in China, and it works great. I have found no issues with the app. However, my one problem is trying to unrestrict my account. It requires you to contact a friend and have them verify you which can be annoying and I wish there was a feature where you can verify yourself without friends or just individually. Good app nonetheless

Chinese here, just wanna clarify a bit. Yes WeChat has awful signup and login experience, but in some sense it's a feature rather than a bug. In China it's not only a messaging app but also the primary payment method which means login/signup security matter a lot. Most people use it at least once per day and just stay logged once registered. In general it's not Tencent's fault to design it this way, but it is their fault to publish such a thing to Google Play without any adaptations.

Horrible sign-up experience. I lost my password once, and ended up having to ask friends to ask other friends to pass on a verification request. When I tried to sign up my wife, I used up my "once per month" other-usee verification to verify her, and then when I went to the messages app to get the code they'd sent, the sign-up process logged out. After several days of trying she still has no account. It's just one of the worst apps to use if you're not living in China. Deeply frustrating.
