Disappointing Experience and Subscription Lockdown
I initially downloaded this app to use WhatsApp on my iPad Mini 6, but the experience has been far from smooth. The app essentially just wraps the WhatsApp website in a clunky interface that doesn’t even fit the full screen of the iPad, making it feel awkward and out of place. There were various quirks and issues that made it difficult to use comfortably.
Today, I opened the app to try and communicate with a friend, only to find that it’s now completely locked behind a subscription paywall. I checked the App Store for any new features or updates, but none of them appealed to me at all. For an app that didn’t function well to begin with, the subscription model feels unjustified. I’ll be uninstalling it and would not recommend it to others.Show lessDavid H. Brown
Update and then . . . complete switch!
I’ve been using this app for years to get WhatsApp on my iPad. It has been buggy and quirky, but worked. Tonight I updated from the app store and now it’s a totally different app with a required subscription from the splashscreen. No introduction, no trial period. Nothing.
It’s not that I would necessarily mind paying something, but, given how mediocre it has been, I would want an opportunity to at least look at it. (Maybe they might be motivated to fix the bugs if I paid something, but I don’t want to find out by paying first.)
Delete and start over.Show lessWilliam Rosenberg MD
A Spammers’ Paradise
My first time on Messenger today. An unknown person contacted me and told me to install WhatsApp so we could talk. I did, and in privacy, he tried to sell me on the store card scam he was running by telling me I’d won $600,000 and a new car. All I had to do was illegally come up with $300 on a store card, and my future would be made.
It just so happens that I’ve been hired by our local sheriffs office, as I am a cybercrime specialist, to investigate identity theft and fraud. Scams like this joker’s fall right into that category.
I think I will change the one-star rating I gave to 3 stars. Why? I caught a lawbreaker, and I get to report him to the attorney general’s office in my state. Thanks, WhatsApp…I guess?Show lessSystems Analyst 1/2 Century
Fabulous international technology!
WhatsApp is certainly a fabulous and wonderful format, especially when calling & messaging loved ones across continents. I found it quite difficult to learn & navigate in the beginning & still struggle from time to time. That said, I certainly recommend it, as I try to aquatint myself with my occasional struggles & shortcomings. I’d like to find it a bit more user friendly from the get-go, but it has made some wonderful communications very rewarding.Show lessjduncanusa
Three and a half stars
Split view. Do you still employ any developers/coders etc? I have a teen who is a talented coder who will work for you in a few years if you still haven’t added SPLIT VIEW to this otherwise good app for messaging. Split view. Seriously rubs me wrong when you nerf your app like this. Next, notifications. Wow. I must be missing something but not having notifications on an app for communication seems… is there politics behind adding these functions?
This is the best ipad whatsapp portal though, which is sad because notifications and split view, or at least that hovering blade view, is integral. An app everyone no doubtedly hates but uses lol hate is a strong word but it’s bitter.Show lessRawbmurphy
Développer improvement
Dear developers, you need to update this WhatsApp. I just purchased it and it does not have a new update for the past 2 years . I am advising you to update this app and make improvements in this app and please fix all the issues of this app. It has many issues such as downloading the images and files and can’t even leave and it also need to refresh the content to get back to the main page. If you improve the interface of this app. I am sure that people will start purchasing this app. For now it is very horrible as there is no new update of the app itself.Show lessyour fan qwe4asdf
This stupid app!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Ok this app was just fine before but now this thing popped up showing you how get what's app on your computer, and there is no X button to make it go away so now every time I open the app it’s still there and I can’t even look at the contacts on there anymore I can’t text people on it anymore because of the stupid thing telling me how to download WhatsApp on my computer. And another thing is I don’t even have a phone just a tablet and WhatsApp isn’t made for tablets so I can’t even download WhatsApp and get it on my computer. I only give this app one star for trying, fix this immediately and also please write me back if there’s a way to get rid of it that I’m missing😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡Show lesswas it was it was it
Need calling option
Hiii I absolutely love this app but however I wish there was a calling option because when I am in a rush and I don’t have my phone around I can just call in my tab or my laptop. I would really appreciate if they just make this one adjustment . I also love this app because it’s very useful and I can just text right away and I just need to like this more and a next time I’ll give like 6000 stars ha haaaa . But please for real can you please put a calling option aha uaaa ha ha. PLEASE again thank you for this lovely app needs a little improvement but it’s totally good.Show lessI N D U
Fantastic app! One issue, though...
Kudos to the developer for this wonderful iPad accompaniment to the smartphone app. I only have one issue with it:
Whenever I tap to view an image at full size, I can’t seem to go back to the main chat window. Maybe there’s something completely obvious that I’m missing, but I’ve tried tapping and swiping in various parts of the screen, and the only way I can get back to the chat window is by completely exiting the app and then restarting it.
Otherwise, fantastic.Show lessDaniel Park
Great App
I am so happy to be able to send WhatsApp messages from my iPad. It used to be a frustration when I was using my iPhone for something else, to see WhatsApp messages coming in. I had to log out of the app I was using to go into WhatsApp. Now I can work on my iPhone or iPad and still have access to text messages, voice messages, phone calls, or video calls. Thank you to the developers.Show lessRev F
