Every update brings more ads and less functionality. I'll begin to type a message, and an ad will pop up- erasing my message. A full-page ad will pop up when you're scrolling, so you accidentally click on it. Most ads have 3 screens you have to wait for, lasting about 15 seconds an ad. It's ridiculous! I shouldn't have to watch a minute worth of ads to message 2 people. Besides, the location data has been messed up for a while, so I have to restart my device every time I want my grid to refresh.

Recently became unusable. You get 3 ads just while trying to send a message, need to start over again every time. As if that was not enough, they added unmutable audio banners in chat windows that play even after you close the wondow. I understand why ads are needed, but this is ridiculous. On top of the old issues with bugs, connectivity, spam etc that never been addressed. Hopefully an alternative come out to leave this garbage in history.

Hi Pasha, We're sorry you've had this experience of the app. The ads you see keep the app free for millions of users. We also know that while we're already doing a lot to reduce and eliminate spam, we have more work to do. Finally, feel free to reach out to our support team at [email protected] and they can look into the technical issues.

App is dysfunctional like always. They need to fix it because at some point, it's just giving location erros every single time I open the app. I have done all possible troubleshooting. Un-installed app, force closed , restart it. Nothing affects the fact it's broken. Yet they have nerve to charge what they charge. None of my other apps have location or functionality issues, only this one and has been going on for MONTHS. And it also won't show recent messages unless it can refresh location
