It’s alright *2026-08-21, version 2.4* I just gets creeps who’s looking for a good time rather then friends, I don’t like that. It’s hard to actually make friends on here. ### 4/5 — Good app *2026-01-04, version 2.0* But homie why are 45 year old men trying to lick my toes… ### 3/5 — ChatGum notifications & compatibility *2025-11-23, version 2.0* Compatibility wise the app works well and while a few things may be sorta odd I understand that it’s because the app was originally designed for android usage Other than that my experience on the app has been decent and I find myself logging in more often than I thought Unfortunately I never receive notifications from this app when all my settings should be set properly to receive them I’ve performed all troubleshooting steps and haven’t received a single notification from this app ### 4/5 — My opinion. *2025-10-29, version 2.0* I’ve been on this app as sort of a roleplaying app since 2018, I’ve made a friend that i hoped still thinks of me as a close friend. I don’t come on here as often as I use to because not many people roleplay literately anymore and people are inappropriate in the wrong rooms. But besides that, I feel like this app should have more updates to it and should be more popular! ### 2/5 — Indian Mods *2025-08-25, version 1.9* Indian Mods are running the app they think they are the owner and all making their own rules and more . All the corrupted mods all Indian making a mess. Most are perverts ### 4/5 — Review *2025-07-19, version 1.8* It’s not bad. Just a few questionable people spring up now and then ### 3/5 — This app is good for chat but worst MITs and mods *2025-06-06, version 1.7* I being use this app from a long time and I was gifter I gifted many vips to users but unfortunately I stop using this app because of unprofessional MITs and MODS I being mute for no reason I still have the screen shots of the mod who muted me they acting like they are system admin and I have seen many user being muted that’s really worst I will give this zero star don’t waste your time here thank you, ### 1/5 — BAD APP, do not download. *2025-06-02, version 1.7* Bad app DO NOT download, there are people on there that's tormenting (cyber bullying) other users and when we report, the mods only tells you to block them, even if you block them and someone else says your name..and the bullies are there... They automatically start up again. They other users will see it. Bad bad experience. I hate it because nothing is being done against bullies. ### 1/5 — Creeps *2025-04-29, version 1.7* This app is full of creeps ### 1/5 — Oop *2025-04-24, version 1.7* i was groomed on here back in the good ole 2017 ### 1/5 — Don’t download this app *2025-04-12, version 1.7* The “mods” mute you for absolutely no reason and don’t even give a warning. They abuse their powers and make the app not fun for everybody. Complete waste of time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stupid app *2026-06-08, version 2.4* I deleted it 2days ago and downloaded it back again today and it not even loading pass the opening screen kept crashing and crashing, I literally wiped my phone and downloaded it again. Still same thing what a stupid creator and app. Deserve 0stars ### 1/5 — Mods are power hungry *2026-03-27, version 2.0* Cool app sometimes weird but over all okay only problem mods power hungry for no reason looking for any opportunity to mute your account without so much as a warning it’s really went downhill since 2020 fix the mods. ### 1/5 — Fix the issues with resetting passwords/gaining access *2026-02-20, version 2.0* DEV/s seriously need to update these bug/s with resetting passwords! Always “password reset failed” with the token. It seems that I am also unable to gain access back to my account even using the correct password/s when logging in…! The password reset link through emails seems to always go to the homepage? The poor algorithm having to spam “like for like” just to upload a profile picture is a concern. Something as basic having to upload a profile picture doesn’t need to be forced into forceful submission. ### 1/5 — Questionable Actions *2026-02-09, version 2.0* This app is ran by folks with high school diplomas and questionable motives. Pedos and criminals get away with whatever but stand up for yourself and you get banned or muted. ### 1/5 — Be wary “fitting” in. *2026-01-04, version 2.0* It seems that these users have confusing egos / running on scripted performances etc etc. Either it seems that people don’t understand aesthetic/s or cannot compliment at all. However it’s exposing very average social awareness, so don’t waste your valuable time on this. Always make sure to think twice before you download or if ever coming back. It’s truly nonsensical to see how socialising is becoming an invasion full of trolling behaviours. ### 1/5 — fix ur app *2025-10-09, version 1.9* i used to enjoy this app a bit but now i can’t even see anyone’s profile. everything takes too long too load. ### 1/5 — 0 star. *2025-10-02, version 1.9* Safety and privacy not good. ### 1/5 — Won’t work *2025-09-03, version 1.9* I am on iPhone 15 and the app simply won’t work. It lets me sign in then immediately crashes and boots me out, and it’s been like this for months. ### 1/5 — Glitched login/sign up *2025-07-17, version 1.7* Won’t let me sign in and every time I do they take me back to the login page or say my username is bad?fix this rn please. ### 1/5 — No title. *2025-06-03, version 1.7* This app needs to be updated and fix direct bugs. On the other hand, it takes too much time to find other users to like your profile and just to update your profile picture too(?), as for newcomers. This is a waste of time, especially how it barely is worth some of your time too. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — GREAT *2026-04-29, version 2.3* I have been using this since 2020 ish and it’s a very non problematic app I think more people should know about it and it just has a cool vibe. ### 5/5 — Remove mods and mids *2026-03-04* Kindly remove mits and mods from cg , otherwise u guys will loose users of this application, reduce mod and mit count to 10 let others be normal users. ### 5/5 — Nice app *2026-02-18* I enjoy using this app ### 5/5 — I just love the bubbly chats noises. *2025-11-27, version 2.0* Feels like the previous internet when innovation was culture & the pursuit of self employment was a human right. ### 5/5 — I want to customize my vip badge please *2025-10-11, version 2.0* Please gimme chance ### 5/5 — it’s a fun app! *2025-07-25, version 1.8* i’ve been on this app since i was 13, pretty awesome place lol ### 5/5 — Interesting app *2025-06-12, version 1.7* When I found this app.. it was a str8 goldmine.. it’s one of a kind social app.. it needs more 18-23 yr olds.. I Definitely recommend this app if you’re looking for chatting buddies. ### 5/5 — Meet my man here *2025-05-24, version 1.7* Years of being single? Pulse fixed that for me in 5 DAYS. Met my girl here and things moved fast. Stop wasting time on other apps. ### 5/5 — I want to customize my vip badge *2025-05-22, version 1.7* Please gimme chance ### 5/5 — Fun *2024-10-04, version 1.7* Fun --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
