Ratings and reviews

Too many intrusive ads. Whenever I make a call, Viber automatically opens 2 shopping apps and my browser. I know you need to make money from ads but there must be a less annoying way to do it. A word to advertisers: Interrupting my calls in the most abrupt way does not make me want to buy your products. As a matter of fact, I make it a point not to buy products with rude advertising.

An otherwise good app plagued with a simple poor decision. They forced adds, sending you messages, pinned on the very top, and notifying you more than actual people you have contact with. The result is, I can't find notifications from the people that matters. Solution is to disable all notifications and the app becomes unusable which is not much of a difference when I dont have the app before. A seemingly desperate move to generate revenue to a spiral of death becoming unusable.

this is like one of the worst texting apps ever I do not get why so many people use it (to the point it's impossible to communicate without it because most people only have this app). It crashes so much won't let me end a call when I accidentally call someone everything is glitchy and takes too long to send my texts even tho my wifi is perfectly fine.
