The apps never opens . Every time we have to reinstall it
Every week when i want to use the apps I have to reinstall it. Just doesn’t work the install time
Ads Not Removed. App replaced during update.
Update:
I have reverted to the web appp.
During an update the perfectly adequate WhatsApp interface was replaced by a new version for dual devices, but now requiring a subscription. The cost is minimal, but I will stop using it on principle as the app was changed without my authorisation.
On the original version I paid so I would not be asked to join Facebook every time I open this app, but the ads still appeared. Also annoying that when I am in the middle of compiling a message I get asked to review the app.

Now Behind Paywall
I’ve used the WhatPad app for years. Today it’s gone and replaced with Dual Messenger+ that now requires a paid subscription. I seem to recall I purchased the app years ago and now have to pay to keep using it. I have no issues with subscriptions, but when an app flips from something I paid for to now requiring monthly subscriptions, I’m out. It would have been better to remove from the App Store and add a banner that it’s been discontinued and a new app has been released in it’s place. If I have to pay, I’ll look at all the other apps I need to pay a subscription for and consider those, too.

Bad English
“Remind it to yourself” “Easy to setup” “Remind it”
Scam?
Today i noticed that the whatsapp ipad app was replaced by this one. This happened without communication. It’s not free anymore? I immediately deleted it.
Completely functionless without an ongoing paid subscription
Used to be a free front-end for WhatsApp.
Now this app does *nothing* unless you pony up for an ongoing subscription. No trial. Nothing.

A shame it has moved to a subscription model
I’ve needed WhatsApp for an iPad and found the previous version ok for this, better than competitors. However, it always had glitches. Now I find the app has evolved to a subscription model, and sadly I’m removing it as I cannot be sure those glitches would be removed. The reviews here mention them, but those may refer to the previous free version. The main one was freezing, and messages would not refresh. Sad to see it go, though.

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.

Already purchased app now requires subscription on top.
I purchased the app now with minor changes require subscription on top.
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.
