Ratings and reviews

Can take days to deliver messages. Its asking me to add my birthday, but gives light blue on white so I cannot see what I am doing. This app fails the most basic accessibility criteria. If it just let me type the numbers it would be fine, but that would be far too simple. I am effectively blocked from this app because I have a visual impairment. Not a good look for an app really is it.

I believe the app was removed from the play store for a while, its back and its mt first time downloading and it doesn't even LET YOU REGISTER. I've gone through making the account multiple times, once I get to the last step, (entering the email) I click submit, it waits a bit and then a pop up shows on my phone with the Kik icon but it doesn't say anything and the app doesn't let you log in. I've restarted my phone, the app, redownloaded, nothing.

The recent updates have made it useless, messages aren't delivered to either of the parties. Even when it worked before the app had problems to sync in the background and wouldn't send or receive messages until it was manually opened. As a side note, the dark mode doesn't work, it only displays white boxes that make the text unreadable, regardless of what color is picked for the chat bubbles they only show as white.
