I loved da way it ws designed befre, bt new update changed my good views towards hiking! "add friend" accepting da commands hs becm slow! i.e if i command 2 delete wt i posted on my timeline, wuld get into process slowly. 1 more s, pls chnge da new option "add frend". It really sucks, n cnt tlk 2 any 1 witout adding ppl!!

Download SKRILO App!!!!! Join Working refferal code:-(8.9.5.6.7.3.7.8.2.3) & get ₹ 50 Paytm cash!!!!! Invite plz Eight Nine Five Six Seven Three Seven Eight Two Three It's really good application you can discover new applications The app works so good so far. Haven't tried to cash out yet and guess that will be the real test. Refer me and we both get coins to get more prizes Great app easy to use, making cash is slow but much better than other similar apps that I've tried

Mohammad Anas Ansari

Needs 1 big change which could make it better!! I'm using redmi note 3 and I'm also facing the same problem as one of the user described in the review. I dnt get any notification and alert msgs until and unless i open my app except when the app is processing in the background... Plzz fix this poblem as it's the only messenger i like because of it's cool features... Otherwise I'll be left with no option but to switch to another messenger

Arvind Prasanna

Bad update 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!

Aman Sharma

Missing basic features Some features are missing. One of them is quick reply. It's so annoying to open the app every time for replying. A quick reply feature is a must. Also, the quick reply should be compatible with Android 7.0 Nougat. This app also doesn't support split screen.. So Much required for a messenger app.

Nirav Panjari

New Update is Very Bad. It's called first add to friend after can talk. It's really very bad. Before was so good because everyone can talk without add to favorite. But if want to show timeline only then can add to favorite. but it's new update add to friend feature is very bad. Please change it and do like before. It's created many folders in Memory it's not good. Please remove stickers folder. It's hanging every mobiles when copy that folder so please remove folders unused, created hike folder like a WhatsApp folder only 3 folder

A good messaging app but with a big short coming. The new ui is tough to navigate with. And where is the option to remove friends? Spent nearly 15mins to figure this out. Hope it's fixed or made easier soon. *edit* You have to block the contact and unblock it to remove as a friend. Not at all ease of use.

Rahul Kotwani September 22, 2016

WORST UPDATE Are you providing further update or should we uninstall it ?? Very bad experience till now in hike. Automatically removing friends from my friend list. Not able to talk to my own friend without adding to friend list. Hike you should provide the update as soon as possible otherwise people will start uninstalling hike from their respective smartphone. Very much dissatisfied.

Hike Ltd. September 15, 2016

Hi Rahul, Please do connect with us over email at help@hike.in with your hike registered mobile number. Thanks.

deepak mishra September 16, 2016

News and emojis News is not working. I never get update of news and cant scroll for more. I asked for help in your feedback programme but you people never respond. And what the hell you did with emojis? They are shattered, and Rajinikanth, anna hazare, nimbu mirchi and more emojis are missing. Actually you people loosing your uniqueness.. you are no better than whatsapp now.

Prince BK September 21, 2016

New update is just worse 😣😣😣 hate the new version. The emoji feature is worst. I loved hike because of its stickers and emojis. But nw its ni wrth. The new update is very irritable and when we are turning back to msgs from emojis its gives the falshback which is irritating. I stopped using whatspp because hike was awesome becuz of ita features. Bt after having the new update downloaded i am left with no other option then turning to whatsapp again. Please fix the prblm and must reply on my review. 🙏🙏🙏

karthik k September 25, 2016

Bugs I'm happy hiking unless and until I get bugged up by few bugs in hike. The new manage privacy option to single contact is working random. Even though we don't switch of their timeline and Last seen at time it's gets switch off automatically. Please fix it or remove it ! Old version was good without this additional privacy feature. Thank you

Reema Jain September 17, 2016

Please please rearrange emoticons options back to original. Not liking the new update. M a huge fan n ardent user of hike but this new update is not at all user friendly. The three tabs below is unnecessary and is reducing the screen size. Only adding your picture in the chat theme is good.

Benit Shetty September 16, 2016

Good app but needs 1 big change! This app doesn't giv notification or alerts on receiving new message! It is only when we look into the app that we receive all the earlier messages. Guyz u need to do something abt this prob. We dont regularly check our messages, we check only when we get alerts. Such potent app is not used daily only bcoz of this small functionality!

Askar Basha September 12, 2016

Bad update full of bugs no msg restore I reinstalled hike after my mobile was serviced. Now it shows 151 msgs in notification bt wn i open the app i cn see no msgs. Bt my friend has send many msgs in tat 151. He asks me y cnt u reply wn u read the msgs? I want my msgs is tat possible?

Pratik Suryawanshi September 15, 2016

Furious Fourteenth review...! As you mocked down the instant messenging market few months ago...but recent updates such as 'Adding friends' is not really that COOL. Also the new update causes the app to show one notification, even there is none...! Guyz please improve, I want you to be on top...!✌😘

Hike Ltd. May 10, 2015

Hi again Pratik! Great to hear from you :) Thank you so much for your kind words as always ❤ team hike

Aakash Muralidharan September 10, 2016

Worst updated ever. First no sticker suggestion. Next If I wanna start a new chat with my friends I can't find the friends list like it was in the previous UI. CAMERA SHY can be changed to the friends list that can be used for starting a new chat. When timeline is there what is the need for camera shy it's a unwanted thing which I found. Next is in that smiley tab both status and profile picture is displayed but we can only change the profile picture by pressing. It could be in such a way that status can also be changed.

Parth Patel September 12, 2016

Contact sync and timeline problem... Everytime i have to refresh my contact list so that I can see tha name of my contact.. after refresh my contact list privacy setting of each favourite are changed and I'm unable to see my friends timeline updates and also my friends not showing my timeline update.. 4 to 5 times I register my issue but hike doesn't take action on it.. solve my query... I'm using Moto G3..

M Patel September 24, 2016

Some features are very bad Timeline view is better in previous update. Now there is much long way to see others posts. Other ls features are good,but please change the Timeline view as previous,in that by only one click, i can able to see all posts at one place. I want that. Not this present feature of Timeline. Please change.

Subhrajeet Giri September 17, 2016

Problems In new update, new posts from friends is not shown many times.. we cant know any picture or status update.. hike news also dont work smoothly... For the 1st time in almost 3years....hike makes me very frustrating.

satya Nayak September 23, 2016

Sticker are not showing very slow India ki app he naaa isliye saale log kuch b thik nh karate. .. sticker to show hi nh kar raha he kaiko banaya bhai faltu advertising kisliye.... hated dis app f**k....

Shanmugam Konar September 12, 2016

Privacy issue If I format my phone and reinstall hike, my all previous privacy gets off.. I need to go to each profile and enable privacy of last seen and timeline update. Fix this issue ASAP. Need to do this 2nd time.

Hike Ltd. September 13, 2016

Ashish Cool September 12, 2016

Awsome messenger This is how a messenger should be .. but need more dirty & abuse stickers.. lol ... Please hike team... I have rated you 5⭐ & make the timeline as it was older ! The new timeline is like frog had crushed under a truck.. a clear piece of sh*t.. 😣😬

Sandeep Kadam September 15, 2016

Add Friend option is an obstacle Previously we were able to text or share anybody on the list. This new feature rather an obstacle of 'Friend request' is stopping one to communicate with desired person. Kindly make it simple. No more hurdles for our communication and your success.

alfiya pathan September 16, 2016

Favourites... The older option of favourites was much better... This friend and unfriend is really irritating... Now I need to friend with everyone I want to talk and go to each n everyone's manage profile to hide my timeline and last seen... It's not good at all. Otherwise it's a nice app I love it...

Jay Shah September 15, 2016

Backup & restore There is no restore option in settings so kindly put that option in settings menu so we can restore our chats manually. And regarding to restore we cant read our past messages after restoring the chats so please do work on this. Our whole backup is worthless because there is no restoring of chats that we do with our frnds in past. I will be thankful to you if you resolve this query.. please do it & btw the stickers are awesome nd the services u r offering is best

Katha Maity September 21, 2016

New version is not too good It's a amazing app but when I wish to comment on a pic which my frnds are post but it's not possible becoz it's have not a feature...so please launch new version where people comment on photos & status..😩😒😥now missing some emojis

piyush bhardwaj September 13, 2016

There is problem while using hike.. I have Micromax canvas Juice 3 plus model.. Whenever I use it, after few moments my phone goes off in vibration mode automatically.. And then other applications doesn't work properly.. Like songs will not play.. Videos will not play with audio support.. And many other.. Why is it so??

shrirang Karandikar September 11, 2016

Improve stickers' mechanism The New change is not good, please restore the old one. The stickers are sent immediately after touching them..its not like smilies that they will appear first on screen at the place of message then can be sent..thus wrong stickers can be sent,please solve this problem!! You can work on this issue. No new chat themes!

Hike Ltd. July 26, 2015

Hi Shrirang, Thanks for sharing this feedback. We are working on a couple of things which would make your experience with sticker usage better in hike. Till then stay tuned and please continue sharing more such suggestions :) ❤ team hike

RAMA Rangadhol September 16, 2016

Still a worst update I used to love hike because earlier there was a lot of privacy.Why people want us to add someone first then need to text them. It's our wish. Whatsapp is better compared to hike.. Not made with ❤ in India

Vineet Kubal September 11, 2016

Was an awesome app I means to say that 3 tab shows directly the profile pic if someone keeps a couple pic so its easy to swipe n see the pro pic so make some changes or security so dat dp will b not seen easily..plzz do something for couple.. update stickers for couple too...

Hike Ltd. September 2, 2016

Hi Vineet, Please feel free to share your feedback on the three tab design at help@hike.in. We would love to hear back from you. Thanks.

Amit Bhosale September 13, 2016

New update not usefull When I want to chat with someone person there is no contact display, it displays only friends contact as per your concept.. When i want to chat with person then 1st add as friend then chat, why i always or compulsory person add as friend. I don't want to add all my contact person as a friend. I don't need that concept because this is disgusting.. Also i don't want to your concept like shy guy on camera Or all photos.. When i click on timeline tab the. Shows online timeline don't need these options...

Bhupendra Verma September 19, 2016

No replacement of this app, Just Superb This is the best of all social messenger app. Whatsapp is all worthless in comparsion to hike. Add friend in latest update option is not much good then previous but overall superbb. Proudly Indian App :)

yash agrawal September 11, 2016

For this new version I am getting problems. Automatically my Friends post are getting in hidden mode.. i am not getting any post of my friends..The older version was good. Plz clear my bugs faster it getting very problamatic.. And plz reply fast. Apart this the app is best....

bsbadal sandhu September 17, 2016

hassan raza September 16, 2016

Udate is not good 😑 Suddenly the contacts get unsync and the name disappears. Even i cant see the timeline updates of frnds.. pls fix it at earliest. I use this more than any other msngr app. Its now annoyng

Ali Nizam September 25, 2016

Best Messenger App So Far The best messenger app so far. Too bad I don't have many friends or family members in Maldives using this app. Recommending this app to everyone I know. I Love It. Keep it up guys. Viber is slow btw compared to this app.

Abhijit salve September 13, 2016

Worst update It has made the timeline update which really sucks.... I don't even get to know who posted what.... I have to open it manually Everytime by going to last feed..... Secondly my privacy is automatically changed.... My frds are not receiving the update.... I have loved hike for its simplicity please don't ruin our happiness

Hike Ltd. September 15, 2016

Hi Abhijit, We are really sorry for your experience :( Please do share your hike registered mobile number with us at help@hike.in. Thanks.

Arghya Ghosh September 14, 2016

Need update Should have the feature of chatting with persons who are not in the friends list. The option was in previous versions. Don't know what madness it is to change the option. Now one can't chat with the person who is not in his/her friend list. What's the big deal ?? Update it now.

Malav Patel September 17, 2016

Worst Update In the new updates, the "manage privacy" in each contacts automatically turns off and i cannot see anyone's post or nor anybody can see my posts on timeline. Please fix this issue..... This feature of new update is not working good.

Hike Ltd. September 13, 2016

Hi Malav, Please connect with us at help@hike.in so that we can investigate this issue further. Thanks. ❤ team hike

September 25, 2016

Timeline updates Everytime one of my favourite updates her timeline, i don't get notification and sometimes i can't see the photos uploaded by her and if can then i can't like it... i tried to remove her from friends and re-added her and then i was able to like it.... please do something as soon as possible......
