The only time I know it’s glitchy when I go out of the app to call my friend I also think if you like get out of the group chat like the group chat should be out of your page so it should not be in your messaging thingy anymore so yeah that’s what I think and when I’m going to get like my rainbow colouring font thingies see deleted messages and if any of the writing is bad I am using voice thing because this is a very long message and I’m kind of like young because this is for kids so you know but overall pretty good I use it often so thank you for listening. Have a good day. ### 3/5 — Ok app *2026-09-02, version 2.0.158* Works fine can call chat and socialise easily but video call keeps crashing ### 2/5 — Optional *2026-09-02, version 2.0.158* It barely works and it goes quiet every 30s ### 4/5 — Stars *2026-09-02, version 2.0.158* My stars app is not letting me call my friends or group call and I don’t know why but apart from that is has no bullies it has no bad words or anything thank you for making this amazing app for kids like me. Please may you fix the ringing glitch that would be great thank you! ### 3/5 — WORST APP EVER *2026-08-30, version 2.0.158* It didn’t let me call or go on them ### 4/5 — Good *2026-08-29, version 2.0.158* It’s a really good app I love it I make group chats and chats with my friends and it doesn’t let any bad things get into the the system it’s really good ### 4/5 — Important notice! *2026-08-25, version 2.0.158* Great fun sometimes the app glitches on calls which is quite annoying.

Definitely get this app! ### 3/5 — It’s good *2026-08-23, version 2.0.158* The app is a good idea but the execution isn’t the best. I also don’t receive notifications when I get messages on there even though they’re turned on. ### 5/5 — so glichy *2026-08-23, version 2.0.158* this app is glitched there is a thing in my call named error session ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2026-08-21, version 2.0.158* No phone number needed. Just a username and a pre-made Stars Code just for you!! My brother has tablet without a number and uses it daily to be able to chat with his cousins! We’ve made a group chat together and it’s honestly impossible for a stranger to contact you without those two things. I highly recommend!! ### 4/5 — Good but laggy *2026-08-21, version 2.0.158* This app is really good I would recommend it for kids! You can call and text, Also! Changing your font which is really COOL. But theres just a problem with error sessions. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — bullying *2026-09-04, version 2.0.158* hi! im sylvie, a 12 year old girl, who’s now in year 8. my experience with this app is so unpleasant. i was really badly bullied in year 6, and everyone used stars as they weren’t allowed anything else. i got really badly bullied by my bullies here, to the point it made me suicidal. i reported the messages, yet no one did anything. it’s now been 2 years, and thankfully im still alive. i thought i wouldn’t make it to 13, but im turning 13 in a couple months. get better staff and actually do something about reports!! ### 1/5 — STARS LET ME CALL WOFO *2026-09-02, version 2.0.158* ok so cool appused for a year very peak yes let your kid get it but like I can't call people and neither can all my friends it's so depressing pls fix it ok bye -TWOGATY ### 1/5 — I forgot my username *2026-09-02, version 2.0.158* Hey stars I forgot my username but I know my password there should be a feature were you can enter the account without a username because I forgot mine. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-08-27, version 2.0.158* So glitchy i cant even exit a call sometimes ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-08-26, version 2.0.158* It has things where you can’t talk for like 1:00😔 ### 1/5 — Please remove these 2 things *2026-08-20, version 2.0.158* Please remove Scan and Flag, it annoys me when I make jumpscare videos ### 1/5 — FIX NOW BIGGIE 🥰 *2026-07-26, version 2.0.152* I CANT CHANGE MY USER EVEN THO I HAVENT DONE IT 6 TIMES THIS MONTH IN FACT I HAVENT CHANGED IT ALL YEAR AND I HAVENT EVEN HAD IT A YEAR 🥰outrageously bad anyways byee ### 1/5 — Terrible *2026-07-18, version 2.0.150* It always hangs up on calls when no-one hung up and it goes all muffled and silent there is always duplicate error sessions and I’m disappointed ### 1/5 — Sorry stars but… *2026-07-09, version 2.0.150* It always glitches and doesn’t let me change my profile picture mire that 6 TIMES ### 1/5 — Good but bad *2026-06-21, version 2.0.147* So.
