The safest chat app ever. LITERALLY. *2026-04-14, version 6.6.5* I’ve been on this app since 2020 and I’d still come back anytime. This is the safest app I’ve found to chat with people. Less creepy people and you could see other people chats. A bonus just in case they are giving a creepy vibe. ### 4/5 — Fire *2026-04-06, version 6.6.5* More refreshes of people please? ### 4/5 — Overall this app is solid for what it’s about, but one problem. *2026-03-30, version 6.6.5* Overall I seriously love this app down, it’s a great place to just have a conversation with whoever you want whenever you want. But Thats when the problem is either when you’re texting people they don’t text back or when they do it’s hours or days ago that you’ve almost forgotten them, or the one I hate the most the dry texts I don’t know how many people ive come across who just say stuff like this —> “I’m doing good” and they’d say nothing more or less and would hardly ever respond back fast. I have used this app years ago in the past to look for friends, don’t get me wrong everyone on this app is so sweet and kind when you do get to know them, but even sometimes people who you talk with for a while just disappear. Perhaps it’s what the name of the app entails “bored chat” which means only chat when you’re bored. And I guess that’s what everyone does or they never chat again. Though I do love this app very much so I met cool people on here and sweet people, I don’t think it’s worth it if you’re truly looking to keep a friendship going. you have to find the right person. ### 4/5 — Not bad at all *2026-02-22, version 6.6.5* Pretty good app. I think one thing that would be great to add is a group chat function. I’ve met a few ppl on here now and we all got to know each other but we all have to speak individually so it’s a bit tricky. Other than that it’s fun… I’d definitely recommend, you just need to be able to start a convo! ### 3/5 — Not working for me for some reason. *2026-02-22, version 6.6.5* My roommate uses this app and we’ve been sick so he suggested it to me. I’m not sure if it’s because we’re on the same WiFi but it won’t let me send messages. I know I know you’re thinking maybe no one wants to talk to me. I thought about that too but the reason I know is because I tried to send my roommate a message or like 10 and He can’t even find my profile. I’ve sent a lot of hellos out there no reply he can’t find my profile no matter what I change my name to. I can find his. I’ve sent a ton of messages. Deleted my profile and tried to make a new one three times. I even pay for the premium service to see if that helped and nothing helps. I can’t use support since it’s through FB and I don’t have a FB. My roommate loves this app and has nothing but good things to say about it. Would love some help getting my profile to work. ### 4/5 — Yup. *2026-01-28, version 6.6.5* Definitely a solid app for if you’re just literally bored and looking to talk to some people. I like the anonymity of it, as well. ### 3/5 — 🥹 *2026-01-20, version 6.6.5* What do i do if my account is locked i don’t understand what that means😭how can i use the app agian? ### 4/5 — Possible temporary fix to [deleted] (won’t go back to old account tho) *2026-01-16, version 6.6.5* When you open the app look at the top left and click the “contact us” then send a message and ur app might crash (mine did) then reopen and you’ll be able to make a new account (happened to me 2 times, 1st I switched phones, 2nd time I delete the app idk if I did anything els) ### 2/5 — Pretty Toxic *2025-12-29, version 6.6.5* I didn’t have the greatest experience on this app. Most people seem very disinterested. Not sure if I’m the issue or not but either I was ghosted very frequently. That if anyone would reply to my messages at all which most people didn’t. If you’re desperate for a good conversation with someone online this app isn’t it. People take way too long to respond and just leave messages with next to no effort put into them. I’m sure If you get lucky you might find someone who’s an actual interesting and thoughtful person but I don’t have that kind of patiences. The only thing I can praise this app for how well they filter out creeps. Good on the mods and devs for that 👍👍 ### 2/5 — ? *2025-12-29, version 6.6.5* I decided to delete the app just for a few months later i redownloaded it but i only see a black screen im not sure what i did but i cant use it anymore ### 2/5 — Unblock ppl *2025-12-23, version 6.6.5* I really wish i could see some people I’ve blocked and unblock them🙏 ### 4/5 — So far so good *2025-11-03, version 6.5.5* I got this app because I was bored and frankly wanted friends, I’ve had this for 4 days and I’ve met people who are very kind and amazing. I just wish we could add photos from our library too. But overall a really good app!! ### 3/5 — Picture Exchange *2025-10-02, version 6.5.2* I love how low key the app is, but why most I have to chat for long time before I am able to exchange pictures with whoever I am chatting with? Please fix this. Thanks. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Need work *2026-05-27, version 6.6.5* Tryed hitting the contact us button and chat with devs never got back with me so here is where it’s going After a few chat I stopped receiving messages nothing nsfw just casual chat. Great idea just needs more work ### 1/5 — Lost account *2026-05-03, version 6.6.5* I had to get a new phone because my original broke then I couldn’t get the account back.

I do just say “hi” or “hey ^^” and nothing ### 1/5 — Cool idea… if people responds *2025-08-19, version 6.5.2* Been messaging people but not a single reply. Not worth my time trying if no one responds to messages. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2025-07-27, version 6.5.2* Recently haven’t been able to actually use it it’s been crashing ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2025-07-06, version 6.5.1* Downloaded and when I went to open it after downloading it all I could see was a black screen with deleted at the top. It doesn’t work and I deleted it right away. ### 1/5 — Account troubles *2025-03-12, version 6.4.7* I made a account then after reloading the app it kicked me to a old account and I deleted the old account and now everything is blank and says deleted also I emailed the gmail account when this gets fix it will def be a 5 stars! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Gooooodd *2026-08-11, version 6.6.7* this app is amaaaazinnnngggg and i loved the idea of how u are a little mysterious and the people using that app are super friendly ### 5/5 — Great for meeting new people *2026-06-29, version 6.6.5* No creeps, no grooming, just chatting with people.
