Ratings and reviews

Why can't I connect my WeChat account!? Every time I try, it says "Incorrect signature. Check that the signature is the same as that on the open platform." On top of that, this app is always logging me out! Update: unfortunately I updated it and it still has the same issue. But I'm glad to see the developers are aware of it and trying to fix it. The app is very helpful otherwise.

I tried to verify my number, but it did not send me a code. After pressing the re-send button I received the first code. At some point my quota was reached so I needed to contact them directly. However every time I tried I got a bad request error. Trying to contact them via Technical support form I got the error that my request is malicious. Well done I live in Shanghai btw.

This is the worst event app I've ever used. You can't sign up for anything on here. There's no filter for the type of event when you select dates. I thought Shanghai would have better options but this is it.

What’s new

We spent a lot of time under the hood for this release, fixing bugs and polishing things throughout the app. It should feel faster, smoother and more reliable.
