Ratings and reviews

great Messaging app for kids, little games to play i have not seen any ads. It's a great way for your littles to have some way to talk to their friends. it could be better if it had more games. And it also could be better if there is more options to the drawings. i don't know what people are talking about it's not just Facetime, there's a button on the side that controls, whether you want to show your face, or it's just gonna be your profile picture greet app, definitely recommend it 👍

incredibly bad echo on all calls. camera often stops working (only in app) making it so after 3-4 I have to restart my phone. sometimes camera won't even turn on. message updates aren't always accurate (when my friend says they got the text, on my end multiple days later it still says it hasn't sent. when I have an incoming call it pops up a notification but doesn't tell me who's calling. icons for people stop working for long periods of time and then randomly start working for a day and break.

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 :/
