this app is a good way to talk to friends and family, I gave it a 4 star because I'm having a problem with texting. For some reason if I want to write something in text I type 1 letter and it stops typing and then I have to tap the word box so I can keep typing. Please do something about it, it bothers me a lot. And the camera is so glichy, and that is also a problem im having. Thank you.

I am a child using this app, and I think it is good for younger kids. It's not really ideal for older children, (teens, adults) but it's really good for parents concerned about what their child is texting. Parents can change settings, like making the child unable to see links (to maybe innopropriate sites) and they can also decline random people from being able to text their child. Personally, I switched over to texting normally just for privacy reasons. Very good app!

I hate this app. I have a lot of problems with it so here is a list: 1. It doesn't notify me when people send me stuff. It doesn't make the notification sound AND it doesn't show who texted me and at what time. So I basically don't know whether someone messaged me or not. 2. The video chat is always glitching out for no reason. 3. I also can't see my friend's messages when they send me something which is frustrating.

The Messenger Kids app has simplified my life so much. My son can video his family and friends whenever he wants now on his own phone. (My old phone just connected to wifi.) The best part is he can only communicate with the people I approve! It also allows me to peek in on all conversations if I need to. It's safe and simple for my 5yo and makes him so happy to reach family and friends we don't see very often. Love this app and highly recommend it!!

I use this app often because it is the only way to contact my family, but I have a few concerns. Sometimes it doesn't notify me if I get a text, I can't pick a ringtone when someone calls me, sometimes when I call someone I can't see them even though I have great internet, I can't delete texts and I can't save videos, and the worst part is this app is taking up 3.7 FRICKIN' GB! Please fix these problems or you will lose a star.

I love this app so much. I have used it all though covid. Love it so so so much. I definitely recommend. Sometimes it could be glitchy but that's like once every 3 months. The only thing I would like if when you had a video it can't be more than 1 minute. Or when someone creates a group chat if you don't wanna be in it it sends a message that would be better. Amazing app. I definitely recommend it. Its for all ages really. You can add people from face book. If you get another app you stupid....
