Ratings and reviews

The app is overall great, sure ot can be a bit glitchy here and there, but the bugs are rarely even big. The only thing that's really annoying, is that on some devices you can have a full theme, on others you can decorate it a little bit, and on aome (like mine) you're stuck with a dark blue, amd cannot change it. I've tried many different ways, but it just doesn't work. It's not that much of a big deal, but it's just a really annoying bug :/

This app used to be a fun, enjoyable messaging app for kids, but now there are lots of bugs and it is very glitchy. The layout isn't fun as it used to be, and you can't change your color from blue. Also notifications! Big problem. I opened my app today for the first time in months and I have a message from my friend from a month ago. As soon as my app loads, the notification sound plays. It doesn't notify me of ANYTHING unless I open the app. Needs to be fixed.

Does allow me to add friends or family, gives an error. Keeps logging out and giving errors when trying to log in Request one-time password. It either doesn't work or doesn't get sent There is 0 help or customer service. You can go on the help link, but it's like typing into the abyss, no email verification it was sent, received, no follow up,nothing, you just are left hoping someone read it and you keep trying, hoping it works next time For a kids' app,it's very frustrating, to say the least.
