It literally won’t even let me create an account. I type all lower case letters with NO spaces or special characters. ### 1/5 — The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format *2025-10-12, version 2.1.3* I keep seeing the above title again and again whenever I open the app to do whatever. I have a lot of memories and pictures saved up on the app with my long distance girlfriend and would really like for it to be fixed so I can see those photos again. Dev's please help. ### 1/5 — Terrible app. *2025-09-26, version 2.1.3* Terrible app. Can’t even add a username. ### 1/5 — Don’t worry *2025-09-17, version 2.1.3* Downloaded this app tried making account asked me for a username but nothing was working kept saying wrong format? 🤷‍♀️ waste of time don’t bother ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work anymore *2025-05-29, version 2.1.3* From how many reviews are from years ago and that when you try to make an account it has weird errors popping up, this app no longer actually properly works and I’m surprised it has kept its rating so high. ### 1/5 — Cant Create An Account *2025-04-22, version 2.1.3* I download the app and I try to create an account. It says “username format invalid”???? Then what is it supposed to be. I put in a bunch of different ones only all of them were format invalid. What does that even mean???? Garbage app. Don’t download because you wont even be able to create an account. Not worth the time. ### 1/5 — Couldn't create username *2025-03-26, version 2.1.3* I got as far as the username, and it kept giving an error stating "The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format". I tried all lowercase letters, one word, and all combinations. A quick google search showed many have the same issue and have for over a year.. ### 1/5 — Buggyyy *2025-03-18, version 2.1.3* The idea and the concept was so intriguing that I download it. But couldn’t get past the sign up flow :( ### 2/5 — kb *2025-03-13, version 2.1.3* i tried multiple times to login but it won’t let me ### 1/5 — Won’t let me create a account *2025-02-24, version 2.1.3* I keep trying to log in and the app won’t let me ### 1/5 — Won’t let me sign up *2025-02-17, version 2.1.3* I can only get passed the name portion of the sign in process sad to say cause I was excited about this app ### 1/5 — doesnt work *2025-02-09, version 2.1.3* wont let me make a username! ### 2/5 — Does someone know how to fix this? *2025-01-29, version 2.1.3* It won’t let me log in because every time I put in a username it says not correct format data. When I download it 2 weeks ago it said what I said up there and then I waited and the. I tried again. And when I put in a username it said not correct format data. I just really want to use this app. ### 1/5 — can’t even sign in *2025-01-18, version 2.1.3* i downloaded this app thinking this would be perfect, but when i tried to make an account it said “The data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format” i tried relaunching the app and it still didn’t work after a couple of days ### 2/5 — Log in error *2025-01-16, version 2.1.3* Wont even let me log in. Says username data is not in the right format. ### 1/5 — Username problem???????? *2025-01-08, version 2.1.3* It wouldn’t let me type my username. I tried every way and a couple different usernames and it just kept telling me it’s not the right format,so what format do I write in?????? ### 1/5 — Not working *2024-12-09, version 2.1.3* Every time I try to make a username it says something about “data not in the correct format” and some of my friends were having this problem too so I can’t even make an account ### 1/5 — Do not work *2024-11-29, version 2.1.3* For the first day it was fine but then I used to go a week and it logged me out so I signed back in and it said Something weird and now I can’t use it bad ### 1/5 — Not a great app at all… *2024-10-28, version 2.1.3* Yeah so I downloaded this app to connect with my friends but I can’t even make an account, I always get the error message “The data couldn't be read because it isn't in the correct format.” If this could be fixed then I probably would have loved this app, but with that issue this app is just a waste of space.👎 ### 1/5 — Won't log me in *2024-10-04* Fun app at first, users can post memories, communicate, and play games with their friends. I went inactive for a while and when I tried to open it back again one day I was already logged out and greeted with an error. I didn't want to use it anymore so I tried to log back in to delete my account, but it just kept crashing whenever I tried. I keep getting notifications on the daily but it still doesn't let me log in anymore. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Couldnt even create an account *2026-06-28, version 2.1.3* something must be wrong with this app because i couldn’t even put in a username 😭 it kept saying “this data cannot be read”. i promise you i wasnt even typing anything crazy bruh pls ### 1/5 — . *2026-06-20, version 2.1.3* I am having an issue. “the data could not be read because it isn’t the correct format. the data isn’t in the correct format.” I have reset my phone, turned my vpn and wifi off, and reinstalled the app. I continue having this issue. ### 1/5 — Bad *2026-04-11, version 2.1.3* No matter what username i type it doesnt let me do t ### 1/5 — Can’t get in… *2026-03-11, version 2.1.3* I finally found an app that my parents approved of within safety terms and now, I can’t create an account past “create a username” because it said “the data is not in the correct format”??? I don’t know if this is an app issue or that I might not have the right device to use it but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE fix this so that I can keep up with my fri in Hungary. I am very sad. ### 1/5 — The app doesn’t work!!!😡 *2026-01-17, version 2.1.3* The app won’t even let me log in! it keeps saying “the data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format” but then it doesn’t even tell me the correct format to put in. so i can’t use the app at all. I recommend not even wasting your time trying to get this app!!! ### 1/5 — Unable to create account *2026-01-08, version 2.1.3* The app looks great but I can’t even create an account. It asks for your name then to create a username. Anything I type in pops up “the data couldn’t be read because it isn’t in the correct format.” With no explanation on what “format” it needs to be in. Disappointing I wish I could get it to work, but there’s no option for support either ### 1/5 — Won't let us sign in *2025-11-20, version 2.1.3* My friend and I are both having issues signing in. It wont let us create an account and gives the "the data couldnt be read" error code. We deleted then redownloaded the app, cleared the apps cache, and tried on different internet connections. Still doesnt work ### 1/5 — Didnt get pass usernam *2025-11-16, version 2.1.3* I wanted to use this apo so i can communicate with friends in different states but i cant because my username is “not the right format” ### 1/5 — Can’t sign up *2025-11-08, version 2.1.3* Every time I try to sign up, it says data cannot be read! ### 1/5 — DOES NOT WORK *2025-11-03, version 2.1.3* CANNOT EVEN MAKE A USERNAME. SOMEONE FIX THIS DAM APP ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This app is so Good *2024-05-27, version 2.1.3* This app is incredible, it lets you post photos from you gallery, camera, edit them, put texts, draw, and honestly this is the only app that makes all of this, the 2 only downsides that are missing is that they should add a option to only show pictures from your friends in your homescreen, and hide what you have posted, and the other downside is that the chat that you answer the pictures, should show a preview of the message that was answered, because as it is, it looks like lost messages, besides that, the app is incredible, i would love to see an answer if you guys plan to put his things on your app, i recommend it very much ### 5/5 — Rating this five stars so someone will see it!! *2023-12-26, version 2.1.3* It’s a great app and all but it’s really hard to friend people and takes forever!! I would really like to see this fixed! Other than that it’s a great app if you can find a way to friend people!! ### 5/5 — Is Amazing *2022-10-24, version 1.6* I find it fun to be able to share photos and be able to put them on the home screen ### 5/5 — Класс *2022-08-23* Круто все работает, единственно, все на английском, но там буквально пара слов :)) Просто нужно немного потыкать и разобраться, а так я в восторге ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2022-07-30, version 1.4* This app is so much fun me and my friend love it and There’s nothing wrong with it ### 5/5 — I LOVE THE APP! JUST (1) THING! *2022-05-08* The app is great! I’m having such a fun time with my friends. One thing though, it would be awesome if we could send gifs/videos! That would be the icing on the cake. Also giving us the option to make our stories public but that one is very minimal it doesn’t matter!! ### 5/5 — my opinion *2022-05-06* i did a five star so hopefully this could pop up, uh yeah don't get this. i was fine when i did my number, but now it won't even let me sign in. They switched to email now and my email currently isn't working, which doesn't make sense because i use it for everything. It also doesn't really work whenever i use the app it shuts down, i have another live widget app and it doesn't do that. But i just wanted to say please don't get this and find a better one!! ### 5/5 — HUH *2022-05-02, version 1.3* why do you need my phone number? I only want to do this with my friends, no need for a phone number! ### 5/5 — They Fixed the Error ? i think *2022-04-10* Ok so i got the “Sever Error” thing when you in your phone number then me and my friend were going to get a different app instead but then i thought “ill try it one last time and see if it works” low and behold it does!, idk if they fixed there Error or not but ig if you get it the first time then uninstall it try again some more wait and try 1 last time and it’ll work. ### 5/5 — internal server error *2022-04-10* only giving it α five star so people see this. DONT GET THIS APP! it doesn’t work because when you start to make your account it asks you to enter your phone number. But as soon as you do it tells you internal server error. all my friends are having the same problem. it doesn’t go away either i’ve been waiting for awhile.
