Constantly bugs and broken features. Plus ads every few minutes of use, and I do mean only a few. Cannot recommend this app less. ### 1/5 — Annoying af *2026-06-30, version 2.1.10* It’s chill sometimes butPLSS FIX IT ### 1/5 — An app that doesn’t protect its users *2026-06-25, version 2.1.10* This app doesn’t protect your privacy, data, or mental health. Bots spread propaganda and men can solicit you for explicit images and theres no option in the report section for it. The only is for b**stiality which seems insane that it’s not just for sexually explicit messages period. ### 1/5 — Click the tiny x *2026-06-24, version 2.1.10* Ad while scrolling, ad while typing, even ads while looking through your own pictures. Let’s also make the ads require you to close it 3-4 times to actually go back to what you’re doing with half of those being 20-30 seconds of waiting because they want you to interact with an ad they are sponsored to show you 500 times a day with ai. Literally if I went to your house with a broken boombox playing ymca on repeat would be a better form of engagement. ### 1/5 — Review *2026-06-24, version 2.1.9* This app is a joke full of scammer ### 1/5 — App is garbage *2026-06-23, version 2.1.9* Constant crashing. Constant spam. Hateful and ignorant users. Absolute bottom of the barrel of society. ### 1/5 — How about fix the crashing instead of caring about ads *2026-06-21, version 2.1.9* It’s so annoying I can’t even open up messages without the app crashing, but oh no, gotta make sure the 10th add in 5 minutes is running fine. It seems like every update just makes it worse than better. ### 1/5 — newest update un useable after push a button it closes *2026-06-20, version 2.1.9* after this update this morning, you get into the app after you push any button. The app closes on you. ### 1/5 — App crashes. Can’t use it *2026-06-20, version 2.1.9* The app crashes every time you try to use it within seconds. It’s completely unstable. ### 2/5 — Grrr *2026-06-19, version 2.1.9* Worked fine till the last update. Now it shuts down immediately after opening. ### 1/5 — Latest update makes it crash *2026-06-19, version 2.1.9* Completely unusable. Crashes after 10 seconds of being open ### 2/5 — Keeps Crashing! *2026-06-19, version 2.1.9* Idk why I care enough to say something, but here I am. ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-06-19, version 2.1.9* This app just kicks you off all the time especially after the latest update. Utter trash. If I could give it zero stars I would ### 1/5 — Crashes *2026-06-19, version 2.1.9* App crashes with the new update unable to do anything ### 1/5 — Keeps logging me out *2026-06-19, version 2.1.9* Why ### 1/5 — Crashing *2026-06-19, version 2.1.9* Constant crashing as soon as I open the app ever since the new update ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-06-18, version 2.1.9* This is the most buggy app ever. Crashes all the time. Also the pop up adds are the most annoying thing ever. Currently app won’t even stay open, crashes after a few seconds every time ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Too buggy, there are alternatives *2026-08-17, version 2.1.10* So, the app (like a lot of others) was built to replace Whisper, which closed down. But this one was built so poorly, probably with AI code or something, and the devs don’t know how to fix ANY of the bugs. So the bugs are getting worse and worse by the week. Before you download it anyway, let me save you the time and explain just some of the bugs. 1) Your dms tab doesn’t update properly. It will show what it should have shown 30 seconds ago or 2 minutes ago or 10 minutes ago. You’ll refresh and see you have new dms, go into a chat and respond to one of them, then go back out and suddenly your dms have reverted back to how they were a few minutes ago? and you can’t see any of the new chats until the app randomly decides to show you the up-to-date list. But that’ll only happen for a short time before it goes back in time again. So just checking your dms is frustrating. but that’s not all. 2) The app sends messages on your behalf. Messages that you sent several minutes ago, the app will RESEND THEM SPONTANEOUSLY which is so bizarre and frustrating, and sometimes even embarrassing. Mostly it’s just a random resend of a unique message so it was obviously a bug, but sometimes it will resend “oh that’s cool!” to something you absolutely DID NOT want to say that to. This is now happening several times in just a short conversation, and it was my final straw for this app. The list of bugs is VERY LONG and i’m resisting the urge to talk about even more of them. there are a handful of other apps that are also meant to be like the old Whisper app, so go find one of those. i’ve tried a couple today and, despite them not being perfect, they are at least useable. truly, i have never called an app “unusable” unless i was exaggerating, but i’m not exaggerating this time. oh, and there’s ads every 1-2 minutes, so get used to that on top of all the bugs. it’s probably because they know the app will die from all the bugs so they’re just trying to suck up as much ad revenue as possible before it does. ### 1/5 — Trash *2026-08-06, version 2.1.10* As others have said, the app is saturated with bugs, scammer, spam bots and p3dos. There is no moderation. You can report posts all day long and it slows down nothing. And guess what? It’s like that by design. They give you the illusion that there are tools in place to help control all the BS I listed but it’s smoke and mirrors. The more “users” they have in their base, the more they can charge for advertising. That’s it. That’s the whole actual purpose of this app. Just like everything else in this timeline we live in, it’s fake, acidic, only exists to make money and is unhealthy for those of us without money. ### 1/5 — I would rate ZERO stars is possible *2026-08-01, version 2.1.10* This app is nothing but filth and there seems to be no moderators at all. There’s pedos openly talking about kids…. Disgusting ### 1/5 — If you complain about pedos, you’re banned *2026-07-28, version 2.1.10* If you complain about pedos, they ban you. Meanwhile predators can repeatedly post pictures of kids in suggestive clothing and positions and saying the age of consent should be 10. They also constantly post creepy pics of little girls surrounded by black men. ### 1/5 — Advertising *2026-07-27, version 2.1.10* I understand Ads but these ads literally don’t close. How am I even supposed to use this app? ### 1/5 — Buggy *2026-07-22, version 2.1.10* This app is buggy as hell ### 1/5 — It's so glitchy and slow, full of bots *2026-07-14, version 2.1.10* It takes a long time to refresh, the notification that someone replied comes but when you open the app u have to wait 10 minutes to see the message/reply. Full of bots ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-07-12, version 2.1.10* For an app full of glitches and UI issues, it sure likes showing ads a lot. To the point the app is almost unusable. And the app data is retained after deleting the app, leading to potential privacy updates. Prior to their big revamp, the only way to access your data and chats after deleting and reinstalling the app was to use a recovery key. Everything is retained on the device now even after deleting the app and reinstalling which is a major problem. ### 1/5 — Pedos *2026-07-02, version 2.1.10* Lots of weird people on there ### 1/5 — Can’t use the app to leave feedback *2026-07-01, version 2.1.10* So many little quirks that are wrong with it or needs adjusting. Also when you try, the help page, even on here, results with a bad link so, hey, I guess people will just be frustrated trying to navigate on the app. Even blocking people is a conundrum. Parameters on the persons name prevent the option for the 3 dots to be seen to block, report or whatever. Maybe the person did it on purpose knowing that people can’t block them. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Rare to find apps like this *2026-05-30, version 2.1.8* Feels like a proper safe space online, which is rare these days. People are surprisingly supportive here. ### 5/5 — No fake stuff here *2026-05-27, version 2.1.8* No pressure, no profiles, just real thoughts. It’s a refreshing change from typical social media. ### 5/5 — Helps after a long day *2026-05-24, version 2.1.8* Helps me get things off my chest after a long day. The anonymity makes it much easier to be honest. ### 5/5 — Chatting is actually decent now *2026-05-21, version 2.1.8* Big improvement on the chat side. Conversations flow better and I’m not getting interrupted every few seconds by ads. ### 5/5 — Big upgrade tbh *2026-05-19, version 2.1.8* Noticed a huge drop in those annoying pop-up ads after the update. The app feels cleaner and more focused now. Really enjoying it again. ### 5/5 — Finally sorted the ads *2026-05-18, version 2.1.8* Finally an update that actually improves things. Way fewer pop-up ads and the app feels much more polished. ### 5/5 — Chat feels way more real now *2026-05-16, version 2.1.8* The chat experience has improved a lot after the updates. Feels more real-time now, and fewer ads interrupting conversations. Big win. ### 5/5 — Chats finally feel quick *2026-05-15, version 2.1.7* Chats feel much better after the update—faster and more responsive. Also glad the ads aren’t constantly interrupting anymore. ### 5/5 — Ads are way less annoying now *2026-05-13, version 2.1.7* Love the improvements lately. The app runs faster and I’m not getting bombarded with ads like before. Makes it much easier to actually enjoy the experience. ### 5/5 — Way less annoying now *2026-05-11, version 2.1.6* Properly impressed with the latest changes. Less annoying full-screen ads and a much cleaner experience overall. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
