### 3/5 — C’est bien

*2024-11-16*

C’est bien

### 3/5 — A bug

*2024-08-20, version 1.4.7*

Most of the time now when I go on fennec I can mostly text everyone but recently I can text everyone but one of my friends and it’s starting to get quite annoying. I would recommend but you would have to have a lot of patience.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2023-01-11, version 1.4.4*

My son and I love this app! I’m always working so now he gets to send me updates when he gets home from school. I really love that our bond has gotten stronger now.

### 4/5 — Really good! Just maybe one or two suggestions

*2022-11-28, version 1.4.3*

What I love:

Okay I love this app the emojis are cute and I love how you can draw! I can talk to my friends and etc! It’s funny how my friends named themselves pookie fart and such lol

What I think you should add:

I personally think you should be able to send videos! And be able to change the first and/or last name because I recently just changed my first name but it’s still stuck as my deadname is not that comfortable to look at every single day👩‍🦯

### 2/5 — Great idea, lukewarm execution

*2022-09-01, version 1.4.3*

Great concept. No proper instructions to setup. We can’t seem to set up on the kid’s phone and there is no supporting info to explain.

### 4/5 — Pretty good.

*2022-05-07, version 1.4.3*

So far so good.  Is there an option to change the colors?

### 5/5 — It’s great

*2022-02-17, version 1.4.3*

### 5/5 — Good

*2021-08-27, version 1.4.1*

### 5/5 — Best app ever¡

*2021-07-10, version 1.3.9*

Thank you for the app it is really great it allowed me to see my dad when he was not here now I feel so good to be able to text even though I have not ever been able to text but now I can.

### 4/5 — Great But One Thing..

*2021-06-12, version 1.3.9*

This app is great. It has everything I'm looking for. The only thing is the glitching and lagging. I'm not trying to sound harsh because it's just a free app but sometimes it just glitches A LOT. Other than that I love the app!

### 5/5 — Kim

*2021-03-28, version 1.3.4*

### 5/5 — Great

*2020-12-26, version 1.3.0*

Me and my friends use this all the time the only thing is sometimes the calling doesn’t work very well.

### 4/5 — No Flip Camera!

*2020-11-06, version 1.2.3*

Fennec is a great app, but I was calling my cousin and we both realized that there was no flip camera! Fennec is a really good app, but please fix this.
