### 3/5 — Плохо работает

*2026-08-06*

Приложение хорошее и лучше чем аналоги, но есть проблема. У меня есть наушники с микрофоном и когда я захожу в паралель у меня не включается микрофон на наушниках. Есть возможность переключить с девайса микрофона на микрофон наушника и при переключение багается звук, звук в наушниках и в других приложениях становится ужасным особенно замечается в играх.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review!

We are waiting for your contact by the following steps if you have any problems or feel uncomfortable.

"Open the Parallel app" -> "Tap the 'Profile' tab at the bottom of the Home screen" -> "Tap the Settings icon (⚙) in the upper-right corner" -> "Contact & FAQ" -> "Start a Chat"

We look forward to hearing from you.

### 5/5 — 最高過ぎる！オススメです！

*2026-07-19*

（一度書いたものが全て消えてしまったので、少し省略してレビューを書かせていただきます😓🙇）
【良い、オススメする点】
・特定の友達とグループで話すことができる！
・ゲームで遊ぶことができる！
・アイコンフレームや通話背景、スタンプをガチャで入手することができ、集めるのが楽しい！
・課金要素はありますが、課金しなくても十分楽しむことができます！
・「ひとこと」という新機能は会話をしなくとも友達とコミュニケーションをとることができる！←最高です！✨👍
【気をつける点】
・ゲームで広告を見る場合があるので、お子様は要注意！大人の方と一緒に楽しむのが1番安全です！
・自分のIDは分かりにくいものにすること！友達検索で検索すると、アイコン等を見ることができてしまいます！アイコンは個人が特定されないものにしましょう！
【個人的な感想】
私は友達との連絡手段として使用しています！新機能が時々追加されるのはとても楽しいです！X（旧Twitter）等SNSでのお知らせも助かっています！
最後に質問です。
私はよくアイコンを変えるのですが、そのプロフィールの画面の背景を好きな画像に変更できる仕様にするのはどうでしょうか？（Xのヘッダーのような物）
長文失礼しました！！🙇

### 3/5 — 詐欺？？？？？？

*2026-07-02*

記入2026.1.24 (始めに)好評レビューをストレートに信じるのではなく､まずはこのような低評レビューを読みましょう｡時間や金の無駄を防げます。 /-------------------------------------------\ 本題)まず、不適切な言葉は×××や○○○､***などの記号を使ってブロックしたらいいんじゃないのですか｡これは不適切な言葉が流行り、ゲームがBANされてしまいます。 そして、多くの方々が8月25日前後に言っている通り、｢アップデート」と言う通知で､ゲームやchatが妨げられています。chatができないなら、chat交換アプリとして使っている人には不便じゃないのでしょうか。デベロッパーさんも、少しでも考えてみてください。

**Developer response:** 将来全然決まらない奴71356、貴重なレビューありがとうございます！
