### 2/5 — Gallery

*2016-09-03*

I have some important conversations saved in Gallery, but it won't let me see the files.

### 3/5 — Good! But there's a Problem.

*2013-12-24*

The problem is; when I open a MXit App and click on the links, then it displays like a normal chat and not like a real Application. That would be great when I click on a link it takes me to the next page and doesn't show the previous page still. Thank you!!

### 1/5 — Crash and burn

*2013-11-22*

First: it crashes most of the time, ok every time you try to add rooms. 
Second: Why do you need to accept a service room like local chat rooms? Didn't you ask for ut to be added in the first place? 
Conclusion: well, the look is great but the feel is not there. It looks like you guys spent most of the time and effort on the look and forgot about the end user and program stability.

### 2/5 — I'm about to give up, please help!

*2013-09-10*

It seems like lots of people don't like mxit much, but i'm not concerned about how this app looks or anything, ot about apps that might be better, i just want to be able to access mxit! This app used to crash occasionally but i put up with it because i enjoyed it once i got on. But for the past week i have not been able to access it at all. I have pressed the icon literally hundreds of times and every single time the m screen comes up and then it crashes. I still have an iphone 3gs with ios 5 so it's not like anything changed on my phone. It just stopped working overnight. If anyone from mxit ever looks at this or anyone has had this problem and knows what to do please say what i should do!

### 4/5 — Accounts

*2013-04-10*

Can't use two profiles, Have to re download Mxit just to log on to another profile. 
Another thing is the "searching contacts", "sending voice notes ", "changing color & font".

Please fix!

### 5/5 — Update!!!

*2012-10-18*

Maybe if more ppl rate this app or give it a higher rating they might consider actually updating this app after all this time...they may feel that it's useless updating a app that lil people rates or likes i'm giving it a 5 star hoping for the best and more people to join in

### 3/5 — Mxit needs more work- Has potential

*2012-01-01*

Okay so the reviews are not good on this app and yes it does need more work but it has some potential

Improvements need to be made and fast.I use mxit everyday and the reason I gave it 3 star is because it needs to be improved to the 4.5 star region and right now the potential is being, wasted!!!

Let us choose our own moods and put what we feel next to this like: Emoticon :- (happy face) - Mood name (FEELING AWESOME) 

Your not keeping up with other social connectors and you should 

Good Luck and hope it improves

### 4/5 — Works Great but only one problem

*2011-04-23*

Thanks for all the hard work. I hav been here since the beginning with the iPhone 2g and no mxit was available. You guys hav worked really hard and much is appreciated. Running an iPhone 4 now and all works well. Multitasking is brilliant and looks really great in my point of view.

Only one problem with the new version. Everytime I login old messages show up as new messages. I'm up to at least 10 messages when I login. It's getting worse cuz friends send me offline messages so I hav to check them all before I can clear them. Please please please can u fix this problem. Would be much appreciated.

### 3/5 — Coming along nicely

*2010-11-04*

Thanks for the updates guys. Much appreciated. The app is working well for me. Haven't tested multitasking yet though. Just 2 suggestions:

1. Please optimize graphics (background, icons etc.) for iPhone 4's Retina display. 

2. FYI the icon that you guys use in the app store (the new hi-res one) has not been put as part of the install of the app. The same old icon is being used (it looks noticeably low-res on the Retina display)

### 4/5 — Good app

*2010-11-02*

This is a good update, the inclusion of the ability to download and install skins are great though other features have yet to be implemented such as "sound" customization and the ability to somewhat multitask, also in respect to multitasking, I suggest you take a look at an app called "Nimbuzz" which multitasks excellently. Thank you, for the "good" update, keep them coming and improving.
