★★★★★Great beginner app!🇺🇸 US

Great beginner app for social media with kids. They genuinely can’t add others without your approval, posts can’t be removed, etc.

Cameryn_nc· 2026-05-28
★★★★Great but glitches🇺🇸 US

I love this app! It’s great for anyone who wants to be able to call and text without a phone number. The glitches are the only problem. Like sometimes texts you got maybe 20 minutes ago and saw even responded to will pop in gain. So please fix the glitches 🙏 but otherwise this is an amazing app and I really appreciate it 😊

★★★★THIS APP IS FIRE🇺🇸 US

It is quite exquisite you can text call and yea under your parents view the only flaw is that not using it for a while logs you out.

★★★★★Love this app!!🇺🇸 US

Messenger kids is a very fun and interesting kids texting app! I have been using it for 6 years!! Some of my friends don’t have apple products to FaceTime, messenger kids helps a lot with that! Sometimes there’s a glitch or two but it stops after a little bit!! Over all this is a great app! 5 stars.

★★★★★Needs update on filters, calls, and notifications🇺🇸 US

I use this a lot but when I was a lot younger there would be an update like every 11 months and it’s been the same for 4 years and I’m tired of getting the same filters. There also used to be games on calls I liked that so please fix this. also, I don’t know if this is like a thing Ì need to fix on settings but it’s annoying when I see the messages and they were read like when I get off it notifies me that Someone texted me from 2 hours ago. It’s really annoying especially when we have a long conversation. So please if you can fix these.

★★★★★Great but need some work🇺🇸 US

Great app I love the filters. I love everything about it like the games and other stuff but the most annoying thing I have about this app is there like a downtime thing so I love to chat with my cousin through 7 to 8 so if y’all can, please delete that that will make me so happy.

lil_Laityn· 2026-05-27
★★★★★Five star!! OK🇺🇸 US

So I got this app to talk to my cousin and it worked! It asks your parent! I was like OMG it works! But im disappointed because i can’t delete anyone. But everything else is so cool you can play games, doodle, and sooo much more! But I wish you could create your own filter. You should try it out! Also I wish the app had a “screen share feature” so whoever made this please add a screen share feature

★★★★★Bestie communication! Few issues though!🇺🇸 US

My bestie and I communicate with this app, but there are some problems! You can’t delete the people you don’t want to text, just block them! So when I have to many friends on there, I can’t delete them. Another prob, when you delete the app your friend can still text you, so they text you without knowing your gone, plus it blows up your device! Last prob, your pet takes forever to grow! Otherwise I love it, because if your friend can’t use real texting this is the perfect app!

★★★★It is the best chatting app for kids🇺🇸 US

★★★★★AMAZING!!!🇺🇸 US

I absolutely love this app. I have had since third grade and Im in fifth grade and it’s for any ages probably. I have all my friends from school and more. I even have my cousin who lives in Florida. There are a bunch of games on it and there are funny face this while your calling and taking photos. And when you create your account picture you don’t have to keep it. You can change it later on. And there are no ads! So you won’t be interrupted every second. You can also guess what your friends are drawing and do would you rather. Also you can make group chats so you can call your friends at the same time. Except they have to be friends with each other on messenger kids. Well, pretty please read about it and then get it. It’s the best app in the world!
