### 1/5 — does not work in us

*2025-03-26, version 7.2.12*

lots of people go live with this outside us, for some reason they block ppl from us to see other popular lives, I deleted the app

### 1/5 — Mm is evil

*2025-01-30, version 7.2.12*

Mm will request money on cash app from you and if you don’t pay he will ban your IP ADDRESS do not download or support this disgusting broke con artist

### 1/5 — BLOCKS YOU THEN KEEP TAKING MONEY OUT MY ACCOUNT

*2023-10-02, version 7.2.12*

This app blocked me out of no where then I noticed I kept getting charges on my account

### 1/5 — STEALING MY MONEY

*2023-10-02, version 7.2.12*

After I paid for a subscription they blocked me and removed my account and every month they still go into my account AND STEAL MY MONEY !!!!!!! And I can’t even used the freaking app

### 1/5 — You pay and they ban you

*2023-09-16, version 7.2.12*

I have had countless numbers and they keep banning I use to tell my homegirls to get on this app but I refuse bc as soon as u sign up they’re banning you !

### 1/5 — 9.99

*2023-08-21, version 7.2.12*

That is what this app is charging 9.99, they don’t enhance or fix issues like a 3rd party shutting your live and trying to exhort you in order for you to go live. Don’t download this app unless you want to  waste money. SMH

### 4/5 — Update please New Features

*2023-06-26, version 7.2.12*

Let us choose mods for our own lives and allow us to control how long a person is blocked a block list and allow us to see who follows us not just the number of people following us

### 5/5 — بقداد التاجي

*2023-02-09, version 7.2.12*

بقداد

### 1/5 — DO NOT SUBSCRIBE

*2023-02-04, version 7.2.12*

I had read the reviews. I was not miss informed. The app, is indeed, stealing money by requiring a subscription for access to live and then deleting your account with a error code of “invalid” phone number.
