User Reviews
Ever since the update the app just loads and freezes. Nothing else works. Fix this.
Takes forever to load, can’t see people’s profile pic, lagging like crazy no matter how many times I update the app.
I used this app when I was a minor, and men had access to chat with me. Predators love this app. Parents, protect your children and make sure this app is not on their phone
Your app was free it’s not worth paying for
Just downloaded latest update and it will not allow me to see certain individuals pfp while in group chat. This is very annoying and I hope you can resolve it. Also I preferred the old gif system. Hopefully you can resolve some of these issues
App is weird. Will NEVER notify you that you have a message so that’s garbage. The streamers are all fake or from Philippines or somewhere random and sometimes there is nobody even on the screen if you click on a streamer. App is truly horrendous
The new gif keyboard hardly ever loads and also doesn’t have the popular gifs that Tenor had. Also can’t see a lot of pfps. And no, there’s no setting I can find to make it any different.
GIFs won’t load…
This app should be removed from the AppStore it is so poorly run. Nothing but bots, scammers and gays.
Not no at all
My Kik stopped working after a update the first of June 2026 the new update today didn’t fix anything!! Useless if you can’t use it!!! Been on this app for a long time but now it’s turned to junk if you can’t send out a update to fix this mess!!
Great to meet new people and chat especially with Gamers
