### 2/5 — yea

*2025-06-22, version 2.2.9*

it’s a decent app they just need to have unlimited walkie-talkie uses

### 4/5 — Great App BUT

*2024-12-27, version 2.2.6*

Great app had trouble with the free trial /subscription problem but eventually sorted it wish it was free haven’t paid for it yet but it’s good it works my friend had issues but managed to help great fun would’ve given it five stars if once friends use our code and was able to talk in offline mode or no internet connection if people were in certain situation would be nice to have the option to be online or offline mode once we exchange our friend request code

### 3/5 — Some issues

*2024-07-28, version 2.1.9*

Really good app but i tried it with my dad and his one didnt work if u wanted to talk it kept saying youd have to pay for it while me and my sisters worked perfectly fine

### 3/5 — 🫡

*2023-11-13, version 2.1.7*

The app is good… but you need premium to do anything. Bad without premuim good with.

### 3/5 — Help please

*2023-11-06, version 2.1.5*

I can’t change channels between friends

### 3/5 — Paid

*2023-09-18, version 2.0.9*

Pay to talk? There are lots of app to do this for free. It’s a good app I could have buy it if it’s 10 dollar for lifetime

### 1/5 — Crashes. Unusable

*2023-09-08, version 2.0.8*

I used this app a couple times fine, then forgot about it for a while but recently went on it again and it seemed like it had logged me out or something? Asking me to accept all these permissions and stuff and then after that it just kept crashing. I’d open it and it would just close immediately

### 1/5 — You have to pay. 🙄

*2023-09-05, version 2.0.7*

Well since it’s for 12+ I was expecting it to be free and all but it’s no fun. No one wants to pay. Or we’ll I don’t, nor my friends. If y’all really wanna pay go ahead. It’s not worth paying. Plus ain’t no 12+ got online money to pay. Y’all should make it free so more people could have fun on this app.

### 1/5 — I DONT WANNA PAY

*2023-09-04, version 2.0.7*

Okay me and my mate download this for fun then after one message it said we needed to download premium which I think it is unfair for that 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

### 1/5 — No star

*2023-08-23, version 2.0.4*

Cause it definitely didn’t work when my friend and I tried to use so I don’t what’s wrong but y’all need to fix it had me saying hello over and over and my friend couldn’t even hear me 🙄

### 2/5 — Good fun BUT

*2023-08-21, version 2.0.4*

its really annoying that you have to pay for it

### 2/5 — It was ok

*2023-08-16, version 2.0.3*

I was so exited to try it with my friend, when I got in I held the button and started to speak and so did she but we could only speak once. After that we couldn’t speak anymore because you needed to buy the trial. So that sucked

### 1/5 — Life360 wannabe🥱

*2024-01-15, version 2.1.9*

What happened to the old HiPal? You guys literally made it into a wannabe Life360 ripoff and the app won’t even let me and someone else I know that has to app open it bring back how it use to be

### 1/5 — you gotta pay to use

*2023-10-30, version 2.1.4*

so dumb how you gotta pay if you wanna do anything fix your app

### 1/5 — Premium ruined everything

*2023-09-25, version 2.1.1*

Paywalling the only feature people came for isn’t exactly a good idea. In fact, the app is unusable. Garbage.

### 1/5 — Account

*2023-09-25, version 2.1.1*

Made an account a while ago saved password now won’t let me sign in. It says “the password consists of 8-20 letter and numbers” bruh it’s all correct the heck 💀💀

### 1/5 — Pay to talk you can get one for free

*2023-09-10, version 2.0.8*

Make it free so you get more fame

### 5/5 — I appreciate caught my cheating spouse

*2025-11-21, version 2.2.9*

This is a very good app. I have never seen a more reliable private investigator like( WEBDARKLORD @ Gmailcom., His service is very effective and resourceful with his help I was able to remotely access my partner's cellphone and the activities in it, I was monitoring her and she didn't even know about it because the service was remote in nature and totally untraceable, with a shot time I was able to catch her red handed cheating on me, thanks to Micheal for helping me to uncover the truth.

### 5/5 — Hi

*2025-07-05, version 2.2.9*

Please make the sending quicker please

### 5/5 — One of the amazing service ever

*2024-12-20*

If you ask me a type of question that will require honesty about the features of this app, I'll tell you for free that it isn't really great at finding out the location of people as l have used it a couple of times. Its features are limited to firstly accessing the phone you want to monitor. I have always preferred that it should be done without the person knowing as I would also want to be able to access the texts, phone calls and conversations without my partner finding out since I started having suspicions about my spouse cheating. I know it's not totally right to spy on someone but I couldn't take it anymore. I sought for the investigatory services of a phone expert and sent him a mail at ( Truthhack1 @ gmailcom) where we went straight to the point! We emailed back and forth extensively for close to an hour while I carefully explained my plight then I provided the information that was required and we agreed on a very very very affordable fee. Few hours later, I received a url-like link granting me complete access to her call conversations, text messages and location and from all I saw, she had been in a relationship with a certain Clayton for many months. It broke me into a million pieces I ain't gonna lie. Nevertheless, with the generous assistance of this team, I knew who she really was and how much I had been deceived without having physical access to her cell phone. I'd pick this phone expert over all of these tracking apps any day

### 5/5 — Helloooo pal

amazing to talk to friends

### 5/5 — Best app I’ve ever downloaded

*2023-11-13, version 2.1.7*

This app is hilarious 10/10

### 5/5 — Needs a widget!

*2023-09-06, version 2.0.7*

I love the app, me and my gf discovered it through instagram and decided to check it out. We initially used life360 but will be trying this out, it’s super fun and really easy to use. However I would love a widget so I can quickly access it through my lock screen or homescreen.

### 5/5 — This app is horrible

*2023-08-14, version 2.0.3*

I was downloading the app and let it have my location because it was being annoying and now 15+ people have my location so if I don’t get this app taken down or get paid 500 I’m suing.

### 5/5 — hipal

*2023-07-09, version 1.3.2*

fun app to use if you wanna hear people tell you to kys and get told that your family is going to be kidnapped,bombed,shot in the back of the head,get stabbed in the back 47 times. but other then that its a really useful app to communicate to your friends.
