Ratings and reviews

Needs work. Does it work to send messages and video chat, yes, but notifications don't pop up over other apps. They only see the notifications when they open up the app, so if they don't open it for a few days, they won't see the new message alert. Not even a sound with the notifications? I've changed every setting on their tablets and still no sound with the notifications so if I need to get their immediate attention, I have to call.

I love this app. Sometimes, it glitches and gives me a black screen, but other than that, it's great. I love how I can turn my mic off. If the creators have a way to add stuff, I would recommend making the video longer than a minute. You creators should make it as an infinite time so people can make it way longer instead of having to do multiple videos.i love all the activities and how I can decorate the pictures.also another problem is that sometimes it glitch's out the word of the other person

The app is good for chatting, calling, etc, but it crashes and lags if you send ONE too many photos/videos, and makes the app basically unusable. Also, sometimes when you call someone, you can not hear or see them. When this happens, they aren't muted, and their screen is black. This is a weird problem that has been going on for a while and hasn't been fixed despite me updating the app whenever I need to.
