### 1/5 — Putty and paint can’t make it a saint

*2026-08-30, version 11.5.3*

It’s ok I haven’t had any bad experiences. Unfortunately, it will immediately start random chats with random people who join telegram who aren’t even in my contacts. So I just have to constantly these chats. Despite this major inconvenience, it seems to be a better version of telegram.

### 1/5 — Absolutely terrible crashes very frequently and makes your phone super hot and drains the battery ju

*2026-06-20, version 11.5.3*

Absolutely terrible crashes very frequently and makes your phone super hot and drains the battery just playing audio. Telegram which is what this is based off of works perfectly. Like obviously no one keeps after the bug fixes or anything. I’ll stick with telegram till they get these issues figured out.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-04-18, version 11.5.3*

Very good app

### 3/5 — App has froze

*2026-02-10, version 11.5.3*

### 4/5 — My perspective

*2026-01-05, version 11.5.3*

I like the games on CloudVeil but they use up my battery to fast and make my phone hot. Otherwise I like CloudVeil

### 3/5 — Disappeared

*2025-08-19, version 11.5.2*

Not happy. CloudVeil disappeared from my phone. 😤

### 3/5 — Extremely buggy

*2025-05-18, version 11.5.2*

Music constantly kicks out and chats like never wanna load and I have to cycle airplane mode like every time  I open app to get it to update . Not nearly as refined as apps like telemessenger.

### 1/5 — App is blocked

*2025-01-31, version 10.2.5*

I don’t know why but this app is not letting me join it says my number is blocked but I never had cloud veil before…

### 3/5 — App freezes up

*2025-01-13*

Not sure why but a lot of times by using the app it would freeze up and I would have to exit out of it to unfreeze and I hear a lot of complaints from different people so it’s not just me experiences the glitch.??

### 5/5 — Anonymous

*2024-10-31, version 10.2.5*
