Easy to use and just an amazing app to stay connected and share pictures and videos with everyone! EDIT: down to 1 star after update. Choosing photos to upload is horrible now! It doesn't show all my photos. The drop down menu to select the album sucks too. If I choose to see more, it only shows me 5 "collections" It used to be much easier before. I don't know why or how or who approved this but it sucks BAD.

I rarely use whatsapp. mainly for video calls and i don't do that much. it's pretty good for it's basic use cases. but 90% of the time, i open it for two reasons. one they pushed a notification saying there's a status update, which is just noisy way to get me to open the app. seems like a dirty way to boost active user count. other is when some spam account adds everyone in the world to a group. they seem pretty good about blocking these but it happens.

Exceptionally horrible! Forces close. Freezes. Won't send my videos. Won't let you change gallery, photo, or notification settings. I tried to add a friend's number (mexican) wouldn't allow it unless he was in my phone's contacts; seriously! The whole point is to be able to use it Internationally. Waste of time. can't even figure out how to go to our profiles so we can update information, change our photo, etcetera! Garbage!
