Ratings and reviews

Indispensable if you are or plan on going to China although the security measures it has means that it will be very difficult to save your account if you change phones or your phone gets stolen. The verification system is a pain and WeChat support outside the mainland is almost non existent. Once inside the app, it has many features such as videos, games, blogs... And Weixin services for living in China. But then again, there are so many loging issues that it makes it feel like a chore.

Tried to sign in several times and there's always an error. First it just told me to wait and when the message finally disappeared it was still the same, didn't take me to any other page, I was still at the sign up page. After a few more tries now it tells me that there's an acces failure (1, -501). I tried to delete and install the app over and over but there's always an error.

Can't even sign up. It keeps on telling me "Unusual network or device environment. Try using a stable connection". The earlier stage of verification is also having problems. Like "choose two trees in winter" I pressed it, it said success then failed. Which one do you want? What's even the point of asking for it if it's not going to work. What's up with "invite another user to complete registration"? Unnecessary steps. I don't know if the devs are going to read this but fix those issues asap
