Send don’t work

You can’t send messages 95% of the time. you can type it and press send and it only disappears or it will send 2x and then halfway thru a conversation if you can get that far it stops working again… LAME

It sounds like there is a problem with your account. Please email into support@emeraldchat.com for assistance to solve this issue.

Website was Bad, App is Worse

I got the app thinking it would be a bit better, I was wrong. The way it is setup is very faulty, messages don't send, actually meeting real people on there is difficult. Would rate zero stars if I could, honestly.

Typing

Half the time when I try and type something it just doesn’t go through or at least I can’t see the messages that I’m trying to send.

Response from developer

Please email us at support@emeraldchat.com so we can help you solve that issue.

Nothing

Nothing a good experience so far. Haven’t connected with any women.

Literally a scam

DO NOT purchase the plans, they don’t give you anything, they unlock an option for you to toggle, but it doesn’t change anything.

Also they intentionally make the process to delete your account buggy and shotty just so you can’t delete your profile and they can keep collecting data connected to your phone.

Can’t send messages in app

Messages won’t send in the app 90% of the time making it basically unusable.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue. If you email us at support@emeraldchat.com we can help solve this issue for you. Looking forward to helping you!

Utterly useless

Messages don’t go through most of the time. The karma system is useless. Censoring is absurd. Just terrible experience all around

Scam

Purchased subscription to enable filter. Doesn’t work. Purchase karma to put me into higher bracket. Doesn’t work. Will be issuing refund and delete and then reporting as scam to Apple

Just use the web version

The app is barely functional. The web version is better in every way and isn’t broken.

Response from developer

Sorry about your experience with the app. We are improving it and it will be better in the future.

Make it like the website!

I hate the app and the new update on the site. They should’ve kept it how it was! The pop ups are annoying also. Ome tv is way better just for usability purposes. Should’ve kept the app the way the old site was. People can’t just leave well enough alone.

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about your experience. We are working to improve and make it better.

Terrible and predatory

The app works awfully and gives a gold subscription that doesn’t work and is more than the website. Avoid at all costs.

Each update breaks the app more and more

I’ve been on this app for about 5 months or so, with each update it makes using the app excruciating. They recently updated the searching for random chat feature, where 5 people will pop up you can choose from. It doesn’t work. It doesn’t even connect you with people, completely freezes the app. I just got back on here after 3 months away & even private messaging is broken now. When I try to send a message, it deletes it every single time. Only way to fix this temporary is by closing the app and reopening. You will need to do this EVERY SINGLE TIME you need to text. These features & bugs really set the app back & it really feels like the devs just want mobile users of eme to suffer.

Hello, sorry to hear about that experience you are having. Please try the web version for now. We have new exciting updates upcoming that will address the issues.

i like the site, but the app doesn’t work well

it takes a really long time to load users to find, and for some reason it randomly opens calls from other people?

Response from developer

Sorry to hear about your experience. We are working to solve these issue for you in upcoming releases.

Horribly Glitchy and annoying.

I don’t know how you guys manage to make this app worse with every update but it just gets glitchier and worse with every update that rolls out. Messages barely send, you have to reload the app every 5 seconds to get anything to load, blocking people barely functions, every single message you try to send gets blocked but other people can talk about rape and they are fine. Absolutely horrible and ridiculous.

horrible

it’s nothing like the website it’s absolutely horrible

Slow+Awful

Like chat roulette but you pay to have ppl send you d pics. UI is trash and slow, I saw messages from people who weren’t even in my DMs but somehow they came through

Everything changed

After I went to check into the website after not being in it for a bit, and then getting the app finally, I opened it and don't like how so much was changed. It's more difficult to navigate, and harder to search up users, and view other profiles. Also the chat engine to find other's with similar interests, is also more different and difficult to use. I hope it gets more updates and development to be easier to use.

It doesn’t work

I was liking the web version so I bought a paid sub. They then updated the UI on the browser version in a way that is harder to navigate so I downloaded the app. Finding people to text simply doesn’t work, it either infinitely loads or shows you a hundred profiles in rapid succession that don’t fit search criteria. And honestly most frustrating of all is the GIANT banner to buy a higher tier membership that never leaves the top of the screen. Like why would i buy a membership just to be constantly told to but more??

App has potential but ultimately fails

Constant bugs. Can’t even load a chat. Infinite loading when trying to find a chat. Then they ask you every time to pay for the app. Why would I pay for an app that doesn’t work. And Devs don’t leave some half asssed response about sending yo ha screenshot. You know what’s wrong. Fix it.
