Hike 5.0 is really a very good update! Kudos to hike team!! But there are a few things that need to be rectified. 1) We ourself should not be able to like our own posts! 2) In time line, there should be two sections wherein the first section will constitute the overall timeline (i.e. our posts including our friends posts just like previous version), and the second section should have just our posts (like the current version). 3) The posts from both the sections of the timeline should disappear after a day or two. Now the pros: 1) magic selfie! 2) themes!! 3) wallet (Haven't used the wallet yet. Will update the review after using it) 4) Normal Text to Textual stickers!! That looks awesome! Hope the hike team bring some update very soon! Thanks for making hike more attractive!

Dear hike, I used your app for a very long time but I never feel necessary for rating your app. I just update your app to 5.0. oh dear dear! you're done a very fabulous job on this update. Text stickers and wallet, upi facilities are just awesome! Keep it up! 5 star for your 5.0 update.

Raj Verma

Hike team.. what's going on with you man....!!!! The lastest update is being worst for me... let me count ur bugs... 1. The app is lagging too much. 2. Typing on keyboard is becoming a worst experience on this app. 3. No notifications of the app. Please fix them ASAP....!!! Or just bring back the previous versions of ur app... Would love to rate ur previous version 5 star

Hammad Muniem

I don't care if you copy features from other platforms. All I care about is how the app works for me and uptil now the experience has only gotten better with time. The interface is fluid atleast for me, the themes are great (esp the new ones) and need I say anything about the sticker collection? There are still a few bugs here and there but I'm sure that the team behind hike would take care of them soon. Great job!

vijay phule

It is the best app for me. But I really want to suggest hike to add some features these are as follows 1. Because of videos stories it consumes huge data so I suggest hike that plz remove the auto download feature & whn someone post video story It should not b auto download plz add the download button for video stories 2 when we want to post a photo on my stories you remove the crop function & it creates problem for us so plz add the crop button & Resently I download ur new version it is best bt Sticker suggestion can't work so please fix my problem

Samarth Sharma

Hey Developers, I have been using hike as the exclusive IM app since it first came out and have seen both the good and the bad. So I have a feature request that I think should have been included way back and hope to see it in the next update: Custom nudges. You guys always had the heart one in a chat theme before, but having more variants of it that are not connected to any other aspect will be really fun to use.

rishit raj June 26, 2017

1.I think this app is not user friendly , youngster easily use it but elder and some people who didn't understand English found difficulty in using it.. just make it user-friendly as WhatsApp and use of uniqueness and make this app best 2.use real time feature in hike.... Find people who are not in your contact but nearby you...his profile will show in timeline and person can like him... If another accept req. Then there is a match they can chat ... No need of sharing no. For chat .. Thank you

Ajay Gupta June 26, 2017

Why are you guys always copying stuff from other platforms! First it was the stories from Instagram. Lets say thats okay. It did made the UI a little bit heavier but okay. Now the whole interface has changed. Guys! There's a thing called consistency, which was there in the start but no signs of it now. And the themes! Seriously? You are letting users customising your brand. Whatever the reason. Disliked the update!

Arun Srivastava June 26, 2017

It's so far good experiencing latest version hike 5.0 but I found some glitches in this update, got app crash on video call. Also I din't get any notification if someone is trying a video call with me. Yes after call drop, I get notified that I have missed a video call. UI is good, will give 10/10. Looking forward for the betterment of this app. Will keep updating reviews.

Hike Ltd. June 27, 2017

jatin ghetiya June 26, 2017

Thanks for bringing 3 sliding feature in main screen.thanx for wallet,organized settings,new look for stories and timeline, theams. Now u should listen me carefully colours in theams are good but not liked at once i see a theam. Colours of theam should be that i feel every theam best and it should be hard to pick a colour that all of them are great. Make them little dark all are bright try adding more different colours thanx for update its mind blowing improvement.

Harshad Pawar June 27, 2017

What have you done to the timeline?? Bring back the previous theme.... This new theme is depressingly slow and complicated! I don't understand what is what and the unread message number is not going out. Even though I've read everything it's still showing 3 unread messages. One of the good change is Eliminating the status update, people were chatting in status update and it was little bit annoying at times. Good chat window.

Vaishal Shah June 25, 2017

Hike is a best app fuh chat. But it need to add more themes and stickers , and even want to c the. change to the basic look of hike ...! Pls try to do this Hii hike team , thankyou so much for the new hike 5.0v , this is what I was expecting and talking about changing the basic theme of hike...

Ravi Prakash June 27, 2017

Good going! I started using hike few years ago, and since then the progress in the app is quite awesome.... It is nice that you are combining many things like wallet to pay a friend or do recharge...... And a selfie optimiser , so that users don't need to go to any other apps. Keep it up!

Manish wth u June 26, 2017

Once again it gone the worst by its last update. I don't understand why you remove the timeline features like add mood and text status. They are very good and nice features then also. The chatting user interface was also better than now. Its better you haven't given this update.

Hike Ltd. June 26, 2017

We didn't follow you? Please email us on help@hike.in with your hike registered number and screenshot(s) please. Thanks!

Mayuri Naskar June 26, 2017

Varun Sharma June 26, 2017

Superb!!! Very user friendly messenger that even allows users to send free offline messages! Unique stickers and services like games, news and cricket scores are impressive, over that the app works flawless on my device. The best part is.. its 'Made in india'👌

Nanditha N June 26, 2017

An awesome msging app wid uber cool stickers & d BEST part free SMS & calls! ♥ just LOVE evrything abt dis app! A small request.. d idea of variety of chats and themes to pick frm for each friend is amaizing! Can we plz get different font styles? :/ it'd be grreat if u can provide more fonts to display! (Or at least to use d phone's default font) would be very grateful if u can do d needful!! ;) :) =)

Shrinath Shenoy June 26, 2017

When you choose to share anything in Android and select hike, the private chat participants numbers and contacts are not shown in the contact list. To make this work I need to unhide the chat and send it and then need to hide it again. I should be able to select that contact and the pattern should be asked before sharing

Boobalan Varudaraju June 25, 2017

This is my indian app i am very proud to use this app now this last update amazing. Ho my god wonderful. But i have two suggestions. One is reply. I mean we can not reply for particular chat. I need this option like WhatsApp. Second thing is finger print enable hidden chat. If these two options is there no one beat this app. Every one love this app. Thanks to hike team.

Bhavesh Badwal June 27, 2017

Every people says i liked the new update and whatever..but literally I m also one of them..for an advice I can give u after some time gives offers on wallets and recharge so people who is not using hike will start..I know u already know this but..fact is that I started using hike before WhatsApp in this device..WhatsApp is very boring this new update made me more carzy than before.. Congrats team hike we all love u..I m fan of u after my father...good..there some small issue I wish u will correct soon..

Paritosh Louhan June 26, 2017

Hi team Recently, we updated hike to 5.0 and we have observed some beautiful UI and updates. Congratulations. But following things have been degraded. Please take action. 1. Upload and download pic. 2. Clicking on users pic and while chatting, it is taking more than 2 seconds to open. Earlier it was opening fine.

Arvind Prasanna June 25, 2017

There is always a notification which is popped up when there is none actually. The concept of add friend is also bad. After texting for a while, there is no sound when my message is delivered or when i receive a message and during this time i cannot play a voice note either. I dont know if it happens only with my mobile or if there are other users who are experiencing this too!

Hike Ltd. June 26, 2017

Hi Arvind, This is a known bug. Thanks for reporting it. We would soon work to get this fixed. Keep hiking andsharing your concerns or suggestions. Thanks.

kapil sharma June 27, 2017

Voice call quality is really bad in this update. First of all it does not let you dial the number that easily as it keeps showing like other user is busy and once the call gets connected, either one of the person on the call is not able to listen other person's voice or it keeps reconnecting again and again.. Please fix ths bug ASAP

Aravind kumar June 26, 2017

Hike 5.0 is a great app, Awesome theme & new add on features but had trouble in video calling.I think need to update in video Cal sector & overall it's a amazing app😍

Ashish Desai June 26, 2017

Great update! Please add cloud backup of chats, add fingerprint unlock for hidden mode for supported devices. Night mode needs to be optimised for better experience! Daily game feature needs improvement as it requires data every time I play the same game. All the best team hike!

Hike Ltd. September 12, 2015

Noted your suggestion Ashish.

Jahnavi Patnala June 25, 2017

Woaaaah!!! Hike 5.0 is awesome. Loved it amazing all these new features were unexpected. Finally hike proved anything can be boring but not hike!!! 💓💓💓💓No WhatsApp no fb but we r still on hike. Anyway we love hike with or without update. Ty hike😍😍😍 plz remove ads

SUJIT SAHU June 27, 2017

Very impressed by the new look. Looks awesome and attractive. Feels good while chatting. It takes me to a new realm & makes my expressions live and adds beauty to my feelings.😊 I love hike more than whatsapp and other comm platforms.

Amaan Mansoori June 27, 2017

U guys really did very good job. This update is fabulous. But I observed one bug.. when we hide someone's chat.. and then open profile of hidden person from hidden mode.. screen becomes black and hike stop working.. so fix it.

Kinjal Kaushik June 26, 2017

New hike is really very good but there is no option to change the number. There is only one way to change it i.e., by deleting the account and making the new one with the new number but whats app allows us to change the number without even deleting the messages and that's really a helpful feature. Update it, I will give 5 stars.

Phaneswar Kota June 25, 2017

Excellent work guys.. very thankful for what you have done.. really this is the biggest n very good update from hike.. superb UI work.. u hav introduced timeline again n also new unique notification tone also.. great work.. better to introduce a feature of custom notification tone.. I'll put new hike tone for some important contacts only.. I love hike jingle.. it's unique..

Hike Ltd. November 24, 2015

Good morning Phaneswar, Please connect with us at help@hike.in at the earliest. We wish to check this with immediate priority. Thanks. ❤ team hike

Akash Kumar June 25, 2017

Everything is brilliant. Just 2 things. One. Give the user the option to set his own night time for the theme. 2nd. The camera over exposes the beauty mode. So just these two fixes till now. Otherwise, it's beautiful.

Soumi Paul June 25, 2017

I bliv the Timeline feature ws d best in Hike previously. Recently this My Story Feature is not as appealing as Timeline. B4, v cud giv n gt Likes for our Posts, bt its of no use.. :( just d stories appear n go!!
