Ratings and reviews

The new ads that interrupt page videos every few seconds are too much. Put them in between videos if you have to, but now it feels like the ads are being shoved in my face. I just close the app when I see them now, so I guess it's helping reduce my screen time. Bad user experience though, just seems like an obvious tactic to annoy people into paying for the premium version.

Unfortunately, most of my friends use this as our default mode of communication, but the changes to the app over the last two years have made it terrible to use. I would love the option to disable many of the features such as the spotlight page, the public stories, and the AI. Instead, all of these features are forced to the top of my chat feed and mixed throughout my friends content. I currently have hundreds of public stories blocked, yet the same ones continue to show up after I block them.

Came to check on updates. My daughter is annoyed that I'm not setting my videos for continuous play. You have to tap for each new segment. I took a screenshot of a video and showed her I no longer had that option. For a long time, I couldn't even edit my characters, hair & skin color. I checked the other day, and that was finally fixed. Maybe you guys can fix that, too? 😏
