“Disappointed — I would enjoy it if it hadn’t changed where I have to go through several steps to open a video that was sent to me!” — ★☆☆☆☆“Facebook messenger — I like messager except the fact that every time you open up a reel someone sent you it goes straight to face book then you have to back outta it and try to reload the reel from messenger some times multiple times til you can see the reel. Wish you would fix that problem. That’s why only a 2 star. In the past you were always a 5 star. But this problem is annoying and I believe everyone would agree…” — ★★☆☆☆“lower app — this app lode the photo & video longer time 🐸” — ★☆☆☆☆

“The new update sucks!!! — The new update is glitching and tells me I have missed friend requests from Facebook when I don’t so I click on it and it shows nothing but won’t go away !!!! Soooo I just deleted the app entirely !! Problem solved” — ★☆☆☆☆“Notifications stopped working — Not sure why but a couple weeks ago notifications stopped all together. Now they are very sporadic. I use it for marketplace so this is really disappointing and impacts my ability to get back to people quickly. I’ve submitted a ticket but of course no follow up or reply. Hope they can get it figured out!” — ★☆☆☆☆“lỗi vặt — lỗi rất nhiều và rất khó chịu” — ★☆☆☆☆

We have not read this app's reviews yet. Apple rations that feed to about one page per address every ten minutes and refuses datacentre addresses, so the reading is done by hand — the rating above is live, the complaints are not there yet.
