“Disappointing — I used to love this app as a way of keeping in touch with my family, until they started charging insane prices to use the most basic features. I caved for the last family plan but now with it almost doubling, I’m just so disappointed.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Disappointing now a days — I used to use this app in like 2019. It was awesome. Loved it. Now all they want is money and everything requires a paid plan. The free feature barely exists. I’m so disappointed.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English“It’s too expensive — It costs WAYYY to much to unlock most of the features on this app but it’s good if u don’t want to be able to do anything except film videos also i got a cat stand at five below and a Shakespeare book at Barnes and nobles” — ★★☆☆☆ · English

“Doesn’t always work. — Unfortunately, this app does not always work. It sometimes stops mid video and then you have to record another video or just doesn’t load despite having good signal but when it works great it’s a great app.” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Pay or Delete — This app used to be great but now almost every feature you have to pay for plus to use. Videos will take days to load and then load all at once (I know multiple people having this issue for months now) and the recording feature will randomly stop working while you’re using it and you just have to wait until it decides to work again. Every update feels like a new way for them to make money rather than…” — ★★☆☆☆ · English“Poor video — Most of the time the audio comes through. The video is either nonexistent or very choppy/glitchy. Super disappointing.” — ★☆☆☆☆ · English
