I literally only got this a few mins ago and I’ve already deleted it😭💀 ### 1/5 — Actively Full of Pedos and Creeps *2022-05-12* This app used to be a great place for anonymous confessions. Now it’s full of creeps, incels and pedos. I redownloaded this app to give it another chance and the first thing I saw in the “new post” section is someone advertising the sale of pictures of topless 12 year old girls. I have no doubt that there is active child p*rn being supplied through this app and nothing is being done about it. It’s disgusting and the creators of this app need to start monitoring the stuff that’s posted on it. ### 2/5 — Doesn’t work on my iPhone and iPad *2022-05-11* The app is glitching out and not working on my iPad or iPhone. They both are running on an older platform but isn’t working though ### 1/5 — Complete trash *2022-05-10, version 8.38.0* This app is so slow. When you type & someone else is in the messaging your keyboard freezes up so I just keep typing while this happens & it actually works. The messages also show up out of order a lot. The messaging interface looks archaic. This app also drains my battery. This app is definitely in need of a MAJOR update. I don’t think it’s been updated since it came out. It also stupid that you can’t erase messages & pictures you sent to others. If you want to do that the only way is the delete your account which is more difficult than it needs to be as well. Overall a very slow, archaic app that’s in severe needs of a massive update. This app also needs to be monitored. I’m a woman & for everything I post I get lewd sexual remarks or questions in the messages. It’s ridiculous. The developers do not care or monitor the app at all. It’s basically used as a hook up site where sexual predators prey on women & want to get or send nude photos or sext. The actual purpose of this app is not utilized properly at all & the developers do not care about the how people are treated con this site or what they say. It’s the trashiest app I have ever used ### 1/5 — Honestly the app itself is just horrible *2022-04-02, version 8.37.2* Good luck using this app if you use any iPhone that doesn’t have a physical home button. Just to exit a group you have to close the app and reopen it because the back button is stuck behind the clock. Every time I open the app, there is a 50/50 shot of my groups loading and sometimes I have to close and reopen the app multiple times to get the groups to load. Messages don’t always notify you, and chats them selves have bugs where the message you send might just move to a few messages above where it should be after you send them. I’d not recommend using this app at all. I would stop using it myself but I like talking to some people there, but if you are a new user, don’t even bother. Oh, did I mention the only useful updates in years are… there are none. Literally no bug fixes or improvements like the update notes claim while the developers added annoying full screen ads (a la Kik) on top of the banner that you can’t get rid off on the bottom of screen, even in chats where you DON’T WANT ADS! Seriously, if I wanted ads in my chats, Facebook would have added them to Messenger chats years ago. Oh, and it’s considered a dead platform since there really haven’t been feature updates in so long. Liters it’s just the community of users who support it still. If I could build a newer and better platform, I would. Literally anything could be better than this app at this point. ### 1/5 — Terrible company policy *2022-04-01, version 8.37.2* So I had been using the app for several years. I really enjoyed it but it started to get very buggy. So having experience in wireless I start to do basic troubleshooting like uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. But I noticed that all my information and such as still on the app once I downloaded it again. So naturally I thought it has some cache I couldn't clear. Then I put in a request to completely delete my account and selected get rid of all my information thinking this would clear all cache and fix the bugs I continued to have after installing it again. What I wasn't aware of if you request to delete your account you can never use the app again. I uninstalled again and again but every time I turn the app on it says failure to connect so I reach out to customer service. They told me since my account was deleted I can never return. I explained the situation and they said that once an account is gone it can't return. I said fine let me set up a new account and they said that isn't allowed. So now whisper will never work on my phone again and while they claim to have deleted my information they still somehow have my IMEI or something that makes it so they won't let me use the app. So they lied about clearing all my data. Which honestly is very sketchy. There is absolutely no reason they can't let me create a new account or recover my old one since they clearly still have my data. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2022-03-03* The app keeps crashing on me since the most recent update ### 1/5 — I used to love this app *2022-02-26, version 8.37.0* I liked being able to post about accepting and loving trans people for who they are.. i am a transsexual woman as well.. i was banned from chatting i think on Tuesday for some reason never explained to me on any level. My chat rating is very low because the majority of chats are comprised of men spamming me demanding nudes and when they don’t get what they want they rate me one star and block me each time without fail. As a solution i started ignoring all profiles labeled as male and other but this app will many times glitch out and say they are female instead, possibly to give these men a chance at being acknowledged at all. Someone was asking for all my social media and contact info so i asked them to take a selfie doing a nonsexual pose i request or id block them just so id know theyre even who they claim to be and maybe that was it? I met four people on there i can call genuine friends, including my current trans male boyfriend, but i now lost any chance for further connections with others using this app. Can somebody reinstate my account? Ironically there’s many people who regularly post transphobia/abuse on the transgender support page but they were never once banned and it’s consistently the same people every time for years now. There’s no rational reason i should have been banned. Edit: i can’t post, message or reply to anything actually. I’m deleting the app as it serves no purpose now ### 1/5 — Why after years of this app I’m now only rating it one star *2022-02-20, version 8.36.0* I was threatened by Whisper that if I did not watch what I was saying to people or watching what I post that they were going to ban me. I have never written a post any different than anyone else writing the same thing. I’ve answered post and been blocked because they want a picture and then I’m all of a sudden blocked because of my picture. Whatever those people use as a reason to block I have no idea. But i think it’s unfair that I’m being told my account will be shut down if I did whatever it is that they say I’m doing yet I have no idea what that is. So I’ve decided that if they do I will just inform the right people to really take a look at this app and just what is allowed to be posted. I’ve been on this app for 10+ years and never been threatened by whisper staff before. So you all need to be careful because you will at some point be accused of something your not doing and if you don’t know what that is then they will take you down because how do you stop something you don’t know what your doing. ### 1/5 — Poor app *2022-01-03* THIS REVIEW IS THE MOST INSIGHTFUL: DOWNLOAD AT YOUR OWN RISK!! Used to be amazing. Definitely a 5 star. But since 2017 the app is filled with bots and scammers and the devs refuse to do anything about it. Ads pop up at the most random times now instead of just having them placed on pages on the app. Accidentally click on one and it’s nearly over. Gotta restart the app every time. This thing is practically unusable now. I’d give it 2 stars but it seems like the devs are out to lunch as they don’t respond to messages of problems or provide any updates to the major issues the app has. Almost every post is either sex or drug related and the app clearly can’t tell the difference between one speaking on these topics as conversation or searching for it. This app went from 5 stars to 1 from 2017 to 2018 and it hasn’t recovered. Don’t download it. You’re wasting your time. ### 1/5 — Disgusting people. Disgusting developers. *2021-12-03, version 8.31.3* I’m pretty sure the developers of this app are pedos. 90% of this app is adult men openly looking for children to groom, adult men sexually harassing every account listed as female, and adult men encouraging women to abuse their animals and children. When you report these posts (mind you, you can’t report a conversation for child or animal abuse, only a post), nothing happens. A user could have a 1.0 out of 5.0 rating from thousands of users, all of them rating them a 1.0 and reporting them for abuse or spam, and the account remains active months later. Reporting for child abuse does nothing. Account remains up, children remain groomed. Even reporting multiple posts from a predator in the span of a single day, all specifically reported for child abuse (which supposedly alerts authorities, but we all know the police don’t care), does absolutely nothing. The developers behind Whisper are pedophiles. Absolutely disgusting app and disgusting team behind it. I’ve never felt the need to review an app before this one. Disgusted. ### 1/5 — Buttons not working *2021-12-02* when you open a group, the back button at the top won’t work, have to exit the app and restart it to go back. ### 1/5 — Iphone issues *2021-10-26* Doesnt work with the iphone 12pro max and probably the 13 etc. the back arrow button is right on the top of the screen and you cant click it bc its with the time stamp on iphone. ### 2/5 — Lots of problems *2021-09-29* Great app. Great idea. But so many problems very glitchy and often freezes and crashes. ### 1/5 — Do not download. *2021-08-03, version 8.31.3* The app started out fine and it was fun at first but the longer I’ve been on the app the longer issues have persisted it is full of escorts who are just scammers and full of sugar daddy scammers that try to get your money and even the whisper is fully aware of these issues they’ve made no effort to stop it they have been told numerous times where the scammers are coming from but they do not reduce or restrict the chances of them scamming people multiple police stations have tried to take the app downI would not doubt if they were about to get a lawsuit on their shoulders for negligence and I also would not doubt it if they had been helping the scammers then they will wrongfully Ban your account and tell you to contact support through email only for support to never respond. So I can get banned for refusing to be a prostitute but the scammer that just stole thousands of dollars from an elderly woman just trying to make new friends won’t ### 1/5 — Can’t even post *2021-06-01, version 8.30.8* I downloaded Whisper a couple days ago. My friend had it and it looked fun, and I had remembered people using it a few years ago. So I got it, and set up my account and the first whisper I posted seem to show up for a couple minutes. But then I realized on my profile it said I had zero whispers and zero replies, after I had made quite a few replies and had posted 2 Whisper’s at that point. I tried to delete and reinstall the app a bunch of times, googled a whole bunch of stuff about it, and emailed support and after three days still nothing. I thought my chat wasn’t working but then somebody I know sent me a message so apparently I can chat and use other features but my Whisper’s don’t show up and my replies don’t show up. I was assuming it was some kind of shadow ban but I couldn’t really find anything about it by googling and I didn’t post anything offensive that would’ve got me banned especially that fast. I really would like to use the app, but I guess I’m just not gonna be able to. ### 1/5 — I cannot post, deletes posts instantly *2021-05-12, version 8.30.6* I just downloaded this app for the first time on a brand new iPhone, with a brand new Verizon number, and a new Apple ID. I created an account and started using the app. From the very first post, whenever I create a post and submit it. It shows up for a second and then it instantly disappears. I’ve emailed Whisper about this and they have yet to reply after a week. This same thing happens for new posts and also any reply posts I make to other posts. What good is this app if you can’t post? The other features seem to work, I can send messages, I can see nearby, popular and latest posts. But I can’t make any of my own. And yes, I tried updating my OS, the app, deleting and reinstalling, all to no avail. I also emailed whisper and even requested deleting my account so I can start over again but these emails have gone ignored. I have not broken any rules of the user agreement. I sure hope Whisper gets it’s act together soon. ### 1/5 — Whisper is ruined. *2021-04-19* Whisper has always had problems with predatory and sleazy people but now it’s made of spam and people trying to harass others or hook up. The amount of name calling and bullying on the app is shocking. I think there’s so much room for improvement here, for one, messages should be allowed to be disabled by users who don’t want to contact others. Two, when spammy and disgusting users are reported whisper should actually take some action, like deleting the profiles. There really should be some sort of monitoring going on. These kind of apps are great for getting things off your chest and sharing your thoughts, but in reality 80% of the replies and messages are disgusting and stupid. The app is not suitable for anyone below 18 because of all of the above. It’s not really suitable for anyone. It’s ruined. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — for your sake, don’t. *2024-05-02* this app is a jungle. good luck finding a singular decent human being to have a pleasant conversation with here, because i’m gonna give it to you straight: you won’t. everyone seems to have the scratchiest of sticks up their rear, no doubt because of the painful lack of moderation. no matter what you say, someone is going to find a reason to jump down your throat over it. and that’s assuming the user you’re talking to is actually human since this app is absolutely FLOODED with p*rn bots. and to top it all off, you can’t even block someone unless you subject yourself to a private conversation with whatever creature you’re interacting with. so if you’re getting harassed by someone in your replies, all i have to say to you is good luck because you won’t be able to get rid of them unless they get bored or you delete the app. if you’re a person who enjoys being force fed rage bait, d*ath threats, and unsolicited n*des from users who have very likely never seen the sun in the past decade, this is the perfect app for you. if that’s not really your style, do yourself a favor and skip this app. because Whisper makes even the most toxic and unhinged corners of Reddit look like an episode of Care Bears. ### 1/5 — Right wing cesspit *2024-04-19* The shift has been gradual over the years but now it’s undeniable. It’s full of right wing Americans complaining about the same old nonsense, they feel emboldened by the anonymity to make themselves into such clowns. They don’t even know that non-Americans can use this app and so it’s easy to get them flustered after they call me a Democrat (which they use as some kind of slur) but saying that I’m not they cannot think of anything because I’m not one of them and I’m not what they consider their enemy, there’s nothing else I could be - I’m just not American. If you’re a christian right wing American you’ll love this app, if you’re anyone else then you’ll get a constant reminder of why they’re such awful people who seem to just live to hate. You’ll find the occasional left wing post talking about love and acceptance for all replies to be hate. I wish I could block the front page because it always makes me sad, I’m only active in communities where those sorts of people aren’t in or at least don’t post. ### 1/5 — Constantly deleting replies to push an agenda. *2023-09-20* There have been multiple instances of replies being deleted automatically that do not conform to whatever the post may be about. If you disagree with something it seems that in order to silence you people can just report your replies and they get deleted. They constantly put the same posts on the popular page and rotate them every couple of days. If you disagree with any of these posts your replies will be deleted regardless of how polite you are. I would heavily advice that you avoid this app due to these reasons. They want you talking positively about exactly what they put on the popular page and anything else is unacceptable. ### 1/5 — Anon *2023-07-22* Such a broken app. More than half my posts randomly disappear from the feed or just don’t even show up at all, same with comments. Worst problems on an app i’ve ever seen. And not to mention the amount of disgusting sleazy men that somehow dominate the feeds with their shameless horny posts. This app has major problems. ### 1/5 — Disgusting *2022-12-22* This app is full of people trying to sell child porn and I’m surprised apple allows it. I will be alerting authorities ### 1/5 — This app has turned to trash *2022-12-22, version 8.43.1* I used to really like this app it was fun making post and talking to people but now you can’t even post because it will say connection error or it post but no one sees it. When you try to reply to someone’s post it doesn’t work I don’t think they see that you responded to it. You don’t receive messages anymore or if you do it’s all spam bots then you can’t send any messages because the person you are trying to message won’t get it. To top it all off I thought hmm maybe it’ll work if I try to delete and redownload the app i went to redownload it and it kept saying not currently available in your country. When I was finally able to redownload it there was the same issues also the page that’s says popular post it has not changed in months it’s the sane thing. It crazy on my people around you page I can see what people have posted but they can’t see mine. In my opinion I think the whisper team has just said forget it about this app…. ### 1/5 — Really gross *2022-08-23, version 8.40.0* I have heard stories of ppl getting SAed kidnapped and more just cuz you guys don’t wanna take out the location thing there are little girls and boys just trying to make whispers for fun and then they see some old man messaging them saying “hey wanna hook up” or “send pics?” It’s so gross how you won’t even let ppl deletes their own accounts I’m so happy that every time I tried to go into the app it took me out and the other thing is that you ppl at the company won’t do anything about it you won’t speak out or even update the app and you still let ppl under the age of 17 go on it and it is your fault for just letting ppl post what ever it’s so disgusting how you think if you don’t do anything everything will be ok cuz it won’t soon they’re gonna delete this app and you can’t do anything about it I hope y’all ppl at the company will under stand that it’s disgusting vile and horrible that ppl get kidnapped and you still keep this stuff up LITTLE KIDS HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED AND SAed MANY TIMES JUST CUZ OF THIS APP AND YOU PPL ARE DOING NOTHING I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY PPL CANT DLETE THEIR ACCOUNT AND WHY THE AGE RANG FOR KIDS ARE FIFTEEN TO SEVENTEEN AND THEY HAVE TO SHARE THEI LOCATION PLZ FIX THIS APP BEFORE IT GETS DELETED ACTUALLY I DO HOPE IT GETS DELETED ### 1/5 — Bots and pedos *2022-08-05* This app has always had bits but lately they have taken over and whisper doesn’t seem to care. People are posting about selling content of 4 year olds and no matter how much you report it still keeps showing up. Same with someone who keeps posting about a malicious website that is designed to steal your info. Again whisper doesn’t care no matter how much you report. Stay away unless you want to be bombarded with spam and illegal crap ### 1/5 — Great idea, unbelievably bad execution *2022-06-29, version 8.39.1* I love the idea behind this, and I expected some trouble with an anonymous app, but the actual experience is so much worse then I could have imagined. The biggest problem is that there’s zero moderation. No matter what you post you’ll get a barrage of men trying to hook up, asking for pics, trying to get your info. Almost half the posts are outright requests for pics, advertising pictures or videos for sale, or looking for drugs. You can’t filter those out because you can’t hide a user’s posts & you can’t block them unless you’ve had a conversation with them. So unless you want to spend some time getting to know Mr “52/m/looking to have sum fun with a submissive lady” you’re just going to have to keep sifting through the sweatpants crotch-shots to find anything worth reading. Oh and everything you post is automatically posted to your local area page. So if you’re in a small town, have fun with that. I thought maybe the groups would have some content moderation, but no. They’re just as swamped by garbage and spam as the main feed. I tried to find a way to make this app useable, because I really do love the concept, but it’s just too terrible. ### 1/5 — COMPLETE AND UTTER TRASH *2022-05-15, version 8.38.0* There are absolutely no moderators or anything of the sort. Majority of the app is spam, bulling, abuse, or sex filled. There’s no way to block people if you haven’t had a conversation. There’s no way to hide people so you don’t see their posts. There’s no way to have an account. The app is tied to your phone. Example, if you delete your data and the app and redownload it, it still has all your information. There’s no way to delete your chat rating. There’s no way to get a new account on your device. There’s no way to filter out all the people that have been horrible to you. I get bullied and harassed for being nonbinary, black, and autistic on this app. People harass me for having a low chat rating and that’s because people don’t like the fact that I’m all these things. People are constantly posting and messaging hate speech and nothing gets done. I’ve had this app since high school. This app was helpful when I got my autism diagnosis and figuring out my sexuality and gender. Things started to make sense with the help of people talking things through with me. Mind you that was years ago before the spam and hate got unbearable. Now I can’t even go on the app without getting a migraine. Every time I’m on the app is some form of hate speech targeted at me, someone else, or a group of people. Not worth the headache. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Whisper *2023-05-25* I love this app because you can anonymously say all of your secret feelings and get a reply! it’s a top app that used to have no advertising but it does now disappointingly! but it hasn’t stopped me from using it! you can say anything and millions of people will read it and maybe you’ll get a few reply’s! I’ve posted thousands of whispers with thousands of reply’s! so all in all it’s a top app a must to be downloaded and used highly recommended! download it right now! ### 5/5 — Hate it *2020-06-10* A hot bed of racism, homophobia and bullying. Deleting. ### 5/5 — The “Marmite” App *2020-03-31* Reviews for Whisper appear to either be slating or rating. Personally we love this app because of it’s ballsy content. However, many thin-skinned, easily-offended and sensitive individuals despise it and that’s OK; it is simply not for them. If you want an experience like no other app provides and have thicker-skin and darker humour, give it a try! Please remember before complaining or punishing the creators with bad reviews that the app is anonymous by design, thus preventing content from being monitored like Facebook or Instagram . ### 5/5 — 👍 *2020-01-29* Great to use. Will tell my friends to download Whisper 👏👏 ### 5/5 — idk bout you but i love it💜 *2019-12-21* great for getting it off your chest🧡👍🏼🙃 ### 5/5 — “Instant friend/help” *2019-01-30, version 8.11.8* I enjoy the app, and have been a frequent user of it for the past few years. Looking back, it seems as if a good portion of the connections, and friends I made originated from this app. I love it because it’s open, raw, and vulnerable. I’ve been able to find purpose in helping, or trying to help, other users with issues or concerns they may or may not be going through. Not to say I’m a licensed therapist, but any help is better than no help. To be trapped with no way out, seems impossible. I do think it has almost everything I’d be interested in, except perhaps better advertising (more users), because I have noticed a trend of the same users per location over the course of time. I associate the app very quickly and easily with “if I’m depressed, want conversation, basically anything.. I at least have a quick or instant friend or distraction, to get me through any troubling period. I think, perhaps, maybe trying to get therapists on board, to promote it with their clients for anyone “socially awkward” might help. I noticed the new apps, I’ll look into them, but thanks for doing what you do. 👍 ### 5/5 — Fun & Unique *2018-11-26* Much better than it was. Post confessions anonymously or read other people’s. Don’t need your real name, don’t have to put ANY personal details on unless u want to and best of all, you have to accept or ignore chats and people cannot just send u nudes to be perverts as you have to build the conversation for that option to even become available. You can rate people’s comments so you know whether their input is constructive or they’re just douches. Get stuff off your chest, confess but anonymously, get jokes off other people’s and search by category. Brilliant ### 4/5 — I love this app for all the wrong reasons LOL *2023-07-30* First of all every previous complaint about harassment, bots, catfish, sexual predators, bullying, entities that phish for personal information, and list of bugs is true. To get a perspective of how bad this app is please read them. However, there are some great conversations to had on the app with the first amendment in full force so it is very refreshing. Watching all the crybabies complain and rant is definitely a lot of fun and amusing; so great for the soul to see such suffer. This app excels where hive mind apps (Facebook, Twitter, …) have failed; establishing a platform where free thinking can actually blossom and grow! Huzzah! There is a lot of honest advice found on this app and dishonest entities are easy enough to cull or simply harass for the simple sake of bullying losers who by way of their own actions should be bullied; administrators or the developers aren’t doing anything about them so feel free to harass them to your souls content. How empowering! Most cannot handle how incredibly and terribly honest entities can be or the freedom of speech and liberty given to the user and how abusive entities are. There is no quarter given on this app which is another reason I love this app. Enjoy the app but watch your back! ### 4/5 — So far, so good... *2021-03-07* Downloaded this app a few days ago and have had only positive interactions - no scammers or escorts like I read other people have had. So, so far so good - however, there might be room for improvement: I'm not sure if I just haven't found where all the themed groups are found on there or if there are only a few to choose from with the option of creating a group myself - so yeah, maybe more explanations as to what's what when you create an account might be handy! 'Met' some really sound people on there so far 🤞🏻. ### 4/5 — It’s ok *2020-04-12* It’s a pretty good app expect you can’t make a new account which is pretty annoying --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
