The voice chat quality is awful—constant lag, glitches, and robotic-sounding audio make it impossible to have a conversation. On top of that, it doesn’t even work as advertised. Connections drop randomly, and half the time, I can’t even hear the other person. Don’t be fooled by the fake positive reviews—this app is a mess. Save yourself the frustration and look elsewhere. ### 1/5 — Cant sign up *2025-01-27, version 7.0.0* Cant sign up keeps reloading ### 1/5 — pointless to use *2024-12-27, version 7.0.0* So I just started using this and literally no joke. I can’t even do anything with the functionality of the app because the ads that pop up during the connecting of another user covers all my buttons I can’t do anything. It used to be where the ads would just be on the bottom. I think they’ve done too much with these ads they need to go. ### 1/5 — Very bad *2024-11-26, version 7.0.0* Uv ### 1/5 — Headphone issue *2024-10-13, version 7.0.0* Good app so far, there’s a big issue with headphone use. Currently I need to disconnect and reconnect my headphones between calls otherwise they don’t work. Hope you can kindly resolve. App needs major revision. Graphics and sounds need to be aesthetically improved. The filters that I payed for are not efficient. Also, headphone use is extremely buggy. Please tend to these issues. ### 2/5 — Lagging Messages *2024-07-15, version 6.0.2* Still lagging messages ### 2/5 — Fix the app *2024-04-28, version 6.0.0* You give us a new update with even more bugs. Cant message, and the messages wont update unless I refresh the app. Can’t text friends nor call them. Keeps glitching for no reason. ### 1/5 — Need improvement *2023-12-07, version 5.6.0* There is a problem with logging in and the massegesis not delivered this App need updates ### 1/5 — Nothing but ads *2023-10-25, version 5.0.73* This app is just a box full of adds and misdirection. Parlor got bought out or something fishy. ### 1/5 — فاشل *2023-10-14, version 5.0.73* يستحسن تقفلون البرنامج كله سب ويتهموني بأني فاشل ارجو التحكم بالعدل وكل مره ادش من جديد اسجل الاسم كاني مستخدم جديد ### 1/5 — New app owner - destroyed app *2023-10-04, version 5.0.73* SMH ### 1/5 — First thing it did was take me to some ad website *2023-08-29, version 5.0.73* Is this real or a scam? No second chance. Delete. ### 1/5 — Update *2023-08-18, version 5.0.73* It’s not working ### 1/5 — Parler ? or Parlor ? *2023-08-05, version 5.0.71* When first started using the application its characteristics were lacking in posting character count. And no one on your end seemed to care about that. So I deleted the account/application/platform/publisher. Then in lite/light of certain First Amendment issues/concerns looked in iOS store and though never surprised, there’s two [2] distinct spellings. With such contrivances when {in_n} doubt do without. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2023-07-12, version 5.0.67* Log in is horrendous using iPhone Can’t add your own pw. Too many adds. Dam thing does not work without sending you off to other websites. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — None *2026-07-26, version 9.2.4* Please being back the music and this app is to slow and no one want to ever talk on here and I know there’s 1000 people on this app why do I keep getting the some people over and over and over and over and over now you see how I feel let people put what ever they want to put on there profile till this happens one star till then ### 1/5 — Not The Same! *2026-07-18, version 9.2.4* I remember being an idiot 16-17 y/o on this app, talking to people my age from different part of the U.S, and when you were searching, you were never bored because there was this beat that used to play and me and my friends would try to rap to it until we found somebody to talk to/troll. Unfortunately I return to find this app to be a shell of its former self. Most of the people on it do not speak English, it’s subscription based if you really wanna talk to anybody that you can relate to, it’s locked behind a pay wall, and even then I doubt I’ll find anyone interesting that’s not trolling or will just skip me because I’m not looking to talk nasty or they just sit there silently until the leave the convo. I’ve spoken to 1 normal human on here since i redownloaded it, and that has been months. I can’t find anyone interesting my country anymore. Disappointed for sure. A lot of fun times on this app. ### 1/5 — Cant go to Home Screen while using the app *2026-06-25, version 9.2.4* I found that the new update without the old music and i can’t use my phone or another app while using it ### 1/5 — Useless APP *2026-04-23, version 9.2.4* No updates when the app is down!!! I am a paying user and I will not put up with this any longer. ### 1/5 — None *2026-03-31, version 9.2.4* This app is so slow now after the update it takes 1 hour just to get maybe 5 people and no one ever talks on this app so it gets a 1 STAR till it gets better ### 1/5 — None *2026-03-14, version 9.2.4* Well I can’t even get to app to support either after I updated my app can’t do anything on the app after the update so got to fix the problem now and I mean right now or I’ll let apple know to take the app down ### 1/5 — Ads *2026-01-16, version 9.0* You can’t embed ads. Once a video plays the app shuts off. You can’t force videos Awful ### 1/5 — لا انصح بالدفع *2025-11-22, version 7.1.7* لا انصح بالدفع للفلترة مافيهاش اي فائدة لانه مش حيقوم بالفلترة ### 1/5 — Calls are not working. *2025-10-03, version 7.1.3* Cannot call, no music sound, and takes me back to the main menu when I try to call. ### 1/5 — PREMIUM IS WASTE OF MONEY!!! *2025-07-24, version 7.1.1* Don’t waste your money paying for the premium search features. They are absolutely useless! Payed for them and got absolutely no filter on the searches! RIDICULOUS RIP OFF!!! Would give 0 stars if has the option. NEGATIVE EVEN ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — بارلور *2026-04-16, version 9.2.4* برنامج حلو ### 5/5 — Pure hot garbage *2025-09-19, version 7.1.3* The app is literally a ghost town and sometimes filled with horny people. Can’t find any good girls or any girls even. The music while you wait is god awful it aggravated the living daylights out of me. ### 5/5 — بارلور *2025-01-12, version 7.0.0* 11 ### 5/5 — Majors updated needed *2023-11-02, version 5.0.73* Glitches and disconnects ### 5/5 — Got you YE *2022-10-26, version 5.0.67* I’m on board if you are. For last 25. Screw em. Speak truth mr west. ### 5/5 — Please Fix This Problem *2022-08-10, version 5.0.67* We wish you to add gender male and female From all countries ### 5/5 — Great but with issues *2021-12-26, version 5.0.65* Great app but with issues , I’ve met a lot of good friends on here over the years , it’s a different crowd but I’m shy so phone calls are better than video chat apps for me ### 5/5 — Parlor *2021-07-13, version 5.0.59* This app is so cool it helps me make a some new friends and communicate with people and i spend all of my time on it I really like it and you should try it ### 5/5 — Parlor *2021-03-29, version 5.0.51* What is that new app to be able to message on Parlor Ujama does that belong to Parlor. The old Parlor you could right your opinion without using this new app ### 5/5 — The New PARLER *2021-03-05* The navigation makes no sense. I go into an area and they want to find me someone to chat with? Really? Thanks, but I’ll pick and choose who I want to engage with. If I ever get to an area where I can see posts and comment like the ORIGINAL PARLER I might want to continue with this app. As much as I hate Twitter for taking over 7k followers away from me as a punitive punishment for my opinion, it might be easier to deal with than this debacle. PARLER, where’s your assistance, your help area. I’m sorry, but this method of whatever you want to call it is unacceptable and anything but user friendly, yet I really want to stay with you because you are free speech oriented. You have my email, send me a message or link to figure this out. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
