Ratings and reviews

This is genuinely the worst app I have ever used. Unresponsive, bad UI, comically oversized, completely worthless help system, and filled countless errors. Absolutely no one should ever download this app under any circumstance if you can help it. I have to use it for work and it makes me want to jump into an active volcano instead. This is the first time I consider 1 star too low for an accurate review. I wish I could rate it 0 instead.

This is the most bloated pig of an app I've seen. I barely use it and still it's over 860MB on my phone (though the regular WeChat is now up to 1.6GB). It's surprising how much faster my phone runs when I do a force stop. Then I upgraded my phone and discovered I couldn't reinstall because my Xiaomi 4 phone was "incompatible." You can't get your apps to work with Chinese phones? To be fair I did FINALLY get it to work by sideloading from another site. Most of the foreign staff at our company can't get it to work because it now requires Chinese ID for all new downloads. We had to show upper level management before they'd believe us so now you make us look stupid. I'll also mention that the app allows your boss to spy on you because it tracks the amount of time you spend working in the app. I wish I could give negative stars for this one.

App asks to verify users by uploading credit card statement and mobile statement which are purely personal. When the purpose of the application is professional why do they need personal data to be uploaded ? Also this is not allowed in Germany as per GDPR. Request to change this and verify users with personal ID and official emails
