Ratings and reviews

Really good app, way over populated with robots. At least half, if not more of its total users are bots. This gets annoying and frustrating. Kik should consider a full redo, delete everything and restart. That or have some kind of monthly user capta check to make sure users are real. Besides that, another issue I have is the app itself grows it's storage at a huge rate. Within 2 to 3 weeks of usage, the app will consume up to 3/4 GB of space. The only option is to clear the cache repeatedly.

For the past two days all of my messages have had an 'S' beside them. It doesn't matter who I message or when I message them, it's all the same. They also say they cannot send a message to me. I rely heavily on this app. Fix it, please. Edited to add: I've tried updating, restarting, and turning off my phone in addition to uninstalling and reinstalling the app several times. This is ridiculous.

I used to love Kik. I've used it for a few years now and it's very useful to have different trackers to see if your message was sent, delivered, read, or if someone is typing. However, the addition of ads is a really big deterrent from using the app. I don't think it's appropriate for a messaging app to contain ads. I am considering switching platforms.
