Ratings and reviews

I only use this to contact friends in China, and it works great. I have found no issues with the app. However, my one problem is trying to unrestrict my account. It requires you to contact a friend and have them verify you which can be annoying and I wish there was a feature where you can verify yourself without friends or just individually. Good app nonetheless

Horrible sign-up experience. I lost my password once, and ended up having to ask friends to ask other friends to pass on a verification request. When I tried to sign up my wife, I used up my "once per month" other-usee verification to verify her, and then when I went to the messages app to get the code they'd sent, the sign-up process logged out. After several days of trying she still has no account. It's just one of the worst apps to use if you're not living in China. Deeply frustrating.

The app won't let me register. I put my info in, agree to the ToS, and it turns black for about 60 seconds, then white until I get a "not responding" message. I've contacted support a few times, but no response. And it's been 2 weeks since the first email. People I know are fleeing Facebook for WeChat and I want to follow. But I can't. I have a Samsung note 8.
