Ratings and reviews

Terrible experience. Decided to come back to the app to go over some previous contacts and it doesn't let me login. It tells me the reason being, unable to verify if human. I reinstalled the app, restarted the device, cleared the cache, even reset the password and tried again. All that didn't help. There's no other way to go around it and get back into my account.

If I could give this app zero stars, I would. I have been using this app for approximately six years. While it functioned well initially, the past two years have been plagued with persistent glitches and performance issues. I am unsure whether this is specific to Android users, but I was forced to uninstall and reinstall the app, which resulted in the loss of all my data. Now, I am unable to create a new profile at all. Overall, the app has become extremely unreliable and frustrating to use.

The app was mediocre, but now it is extremely bad. I understand monetizing with ads and offering a premium option, but the ads are obnoxiously long with misleading buttons. Sometimes the app just randomly opens a browser tab while you're typing. The app has long been used by money launderers, so don't expect much out of the live feeds except for spam bots who pick up on you if you do access a live feed. Also, msssage notifications will pop up, but then your message won't load right away.
