Reviews for 네이버 - NAVER

This app asks for way too much information, even for a confirmed legal name, which is pushing it. This is mostly a blog site and a site to share stuff, there is some money stuff, but keep the verification of this extent there! It is excessive to say that level of verification is required for a STARDEW VALLEY MOD SERVER of all things! Unless they fix it and have that verification be on servers that need it and not ask for your passport for Stardew of all stuff, I want nothing to do with this app.

Spent 30 minutes trying to find a location using this while in Korea. I assumed Naver to be good since it's based for Korea ONLY!! I downloaded Google maps and within seconds I found the location I was trying to find. Feels like this NAVER platform puts a limit on their users and isolates them from the world. Anyhow.. this app is useless to me. Btw... what's with the sign-in issues? Another reason to avoid it. No Naver for me...

Good app for searching and reading News Smooth and reliable

Not useful for foreigners who need to use this app in Korea especially when Google is not able to function well in korea. At least the Map link should be available in English version under this Naver app. The only good thing about Map link in this app is it allows search of many locations even small guesthouses, BUT in Korean only. Although the other Naver MAP app has english version but it mostly says unable to find location of the search, which is super unhelpful for foreigners.

This makes me pissed. I had an account but got a new phone and now that I try to log back in it keeps giving me problems. I even tried to sign up with Facebook but it still doesn't want to work. I have no idea what to do. I even tried signing up again but nothing is working. I don't even know how to check for help on naver cuz the damn thing is not even in English. What makes it worst is that some things don't function unless you sign in and I can't, even though all my information is correct. This sucks!! 😣😡😠

I don't really know why people review and give the app 1 star, since naver is a korean search engine, so don't be surprised if there's alot hangul and korean in this app. This is a domestic search engine and are good cause they developed translation even if it barely there. But don't complain if you don't know any korean cause naver's market is based in south korea.

I can't sign-up. Whenever I m entering a username name they are showing it's wrong username. Please look forward to this problem and fix it as soon as possible please. We want to use it with no problem. Also please help us with translation for those who don't know Korean. It would be a very helpful to us. Thank you and slove the problem as soon as possible.

You can easily find what you are looking for. I think it is nice and useful to have many features in one application. Since it is a Korean search engine, it is very normal for the main language of the application to be Korean. You can translate the pages you enter into English using the application's own translation. I like this app :)

I have been using Naver for years now. But recently changed my phone and I naturally had to sign in again. But I can't! There seems to be an error every time I try. "Temporary error". I even tried signing up, tried different browsers, different devices (Samsung, OnePlus, Apple), and even different browsers (Chrome, Safari, Naver Whale) but nothing seems to be working. Have you restricted server connection in India? Is that what it is? Please give me an answer and preferably a solution to this.

Can't even open it. When i was creating account , they said a verification code will sent to the given number but when i waited , it was never sent even after waiting for 15 min and when i left it in background to open other apps, after again opening it , it was all restarted, again i filled the data bit still the problem. Just what is with this app.

Lately the app just showed popup that I'm under 14, which I don't know why and how to solve it. It requires me to give consent (by adding Korean number!) to submit verification request, which is non-sense because I'm foreigner. Now my already-verified account is unaccessible: no way to request as no Korean number, no way to edit my birthdate (I'm over 40!), and I have some money left in Naver Pay. No one to contact with. Disappointing!

To everyone who rated this 1 - 3 stars because of the language being korean, yall are dumb! You do know that the app your downloading is not a foreign app right? And, to those who have trouble logging/signing in, you can screenshot the main page/settings and let google translate it. Or simply don't download the app. Anyways, the app is good! It's really helpful if you know how to use it.

This app is awful! Everything is in Korean. You can change to English after you navigate an extremely complicated sign up process that involves analyzing pictures of receipts in Korean to answer poorly worded questions. When I finally managed to sign up and get a confirmation code texted to me there was no place to enter a code. I tried account recovery only to be told to enter my info correctly which I had at least 20 times I wish I could give it zero stars!

The app is forcing me to authenticate but I can't even authenticate my number because the drop-down isn't showing any other country except for Korea. I saw it is working on other devices but not mine. And when I try to report the error it just says network unstable and I can't even report the error! What useless app is this!

I don't have trouble using the app much The only problem is I could sign in with only a username but when I try to set up a password and give my details I can only go to the mobile number step They say they failed to send an auth number and try again later I'm a foreigner (South asian) so I understand it may take time but I've waited for days (Nothing wrong with my details) I just want to read a comic I missed 😭 There's no english transition but to sign into Webtoon I need a damn password 😒

I just downloaded the app to read my favorite novel, but whenever I try to create an account, it keeps giving me "Account Suspended due to suspicious location" error. I can't read the novel without having an account, so both the app and the website are completely useless to me. Please fix this error quickly!

This has to be the worst app out there. For all those saying it is a foreign app and therefore your experience on it as an English speaker isn't justified is actually insane. I've used tons of foreign apps while traveling and I've never had one so unintuitive that seems to purposely hurt your experience like this one before. I can't wait for the day Google maps to include korea so this app can be forever be deleted off my phone.

After submitting the paperwork to Naver for "real name" in support for QR code, I was updated to the latest version which does not have an English setting like the previous version (unless they are hiding it really well). It used to be on the logon page and most of the content was translated. Now, having to press the bird on EVERY SINGLE PAGE is a pain and time consuming. That is IF the page has it. The redesign could be pretty nifty if it was in English but you aren't able to use the new navigation until you figure out what each one is because there is no ability to translate the landing page. I still use it, it just takes me 10x longer to accomplish what I need to do. Thinking about finding an APK for an older version.

This has to be one of the most unhelpful apps, and customer service, I have ever experienced. I created my account, and for whatever reason, I was unable to receive a verification code. I sent an inquiry to Naver, and the answer made it seem they didn't read what I sent. I finally verified, but now it says my ID and password do not match. Recovery protocols are useless, and customer service is non-existent.

While the details of the map itself and the real-time subway/bus information warrant 5 stars, the search engine optimization is awful for the English language version of this app in my specific use case. This review is primarily for the English language version, although no matter if I write a location in English or hangul (the Korean alphabet), I keep receiving the "No results" display, even when choosing from Naver's own list of auto-complete options! Furthermore, because phonetization of Korean into English letters can be spelled in various ways, it's difficult to search for a specific place if you're typing in English, which is probably the most common use-case for foreign visitors who are not familiar with hangul. Naver needs to improve their algorithm to allow for variances in the English spelling of Korean place-names. The only way I can get directions for a specific location is if I tap on the location on the map, but that presumes I already know the general location of the place I'm looking for. Without a much better search engine for English users, this app only rates a 2 out of 5 for me.
