Reviews for Messenger Kids – The Messaging

I really like this app so far. It's easy for my 3 year old to use and easy so far for me to monitor every conversation. The app is completely free and my kid is able to talk to only her friend and family. I definitely have and would recommend this app to anyone. Best part is there's no ads, I get to see all of my kid's conversations, and every picture received, sent, or deleted.

I can't login due to the login loop other users have described. I enter login info, it sends me the authentication code, I enter the code, and then it asks me to log in again. I've used the app successfully before on this very device. But after logging out & trying to log back in, it doesn't work anymore. Uninstalling & reinstalling didn't fix the problem, nor did clearing data. I'll update this rating to five stars when I can actually log in again.

This is a really good app. It's fun and I like the fact that you can send pictures, videos, and gifs. The filters are cool, and wish you could like favorite them so you could always have certain filters even when it went away. But it kinda sucks that you would have to block someone if you want them to stop messaging. There should be a setting where there's a limit of the amount of text send at one period. And it does require wifi. That sucks because you couldn't text at certain places well g'bye

This app is amazing and it's fun! Easy for kids to communicate with friends and family. The reason with the 4 stars is sleep mode, when I'm in a video call with my friends it auto hangs up which is annoying. And when messenger re-enables in the morning at 8:00 am it won't let me send messages because of the sleep mode, and so I have to wait until 9:00 am for it to calibrate properly. Get rid of the sleep mode plz! Could've given it 5 stars if it didn't have a sleep mode.

Great app! I love texting and calling my friends over quarantine and all the cool filters. Although I have a few suggestions. For one, I like to video chat my friends, but sometimes I wish I could just call with out video. Also, maybe have polls about whether a filter can leave or stay, or about choosing which one should be a new one. Other than that, I don't really have any complaints. I suggest it to some friends of mine, and a few actually joined because of me! Great work!!

Does allow me to add friends or family, gives an error. Keeps logging out and giving errors when trying to log in Request one-time password. It either doesn't work or doesn't get sent There is 0 help or customer service. You can go on the help link, but it's like typing into the abyss, no email verification it was sent, received, no follow up,nothing, you just are left hoping someone read it and you keep trying, hoping it works next time For a kids' app,it's very frustrating, to say the least.

I love using this app to be able to talk to my friends. Especially since COVID because we havent been able to see eachother as much. One problem that only happens to me mostly is that my app doesnt get the updates as quick. It will normally get it around 2 days after or one day. Also I would like to be able to choose a profile picture from my gallery. I also dont always get notifications when somebody calls or messages me. If you could fix this that would be great!

This app is amazing! I can get in contact with my friends and family efficiently. This is really fun with all of the little stickers, camera add-ons and small minigames you can play with your friend(s). There is only 1 problem I have came across of, and that is when I want to change my profile picture. There is the option of taking a picture, but I was trying to get a photo from my gallery for my profile picture but it doesn't work on the phone I currently have (that's android) iPhones work only.

When I go to verify the account every time I get the same error, "Login Error. We were unable to log in your child. Try again?" I have been trying to get my son on for 2 days now, and it has been the most frustrating thing ever!!!! I have tried unistalling, reinstalling, clearing cache, changing permissions and settings etc. on both my phone and his tablet, but absolutely nothing works. Complete waste of time! This app is a joke!

Something is wrong with this app. My kids had the app, but when they logged out, they could not log back in. Every time I log in, it keeps going back to the log in page and authorize this device. I tried it in different phones and accounts, but the app was not working at all. I thought that I am the only one who has this issue, but most of my friends also were having this issue. Also, a few people who wrote reviews (see below) were having the same issue. Very frustrating!

Such a great app. I call my friends all the time because of quarantine. The only problem I have is that there's only face time. I want to just call my friends. Other than that great app! Keep up the incredible work! Edit: So I also have another problem. So when I want to change my profile pic, I can only take a photo and can't got one from my gallery. Please fix this issue but so far INCREDIBLE JOB!!!!! You guys need to make a Facebook kids app! Hope you have an amazing day! 😊😁😊

I think this app is awesome and it helped me connect and reunite with a friend I haven't seen in a while but the only issue(s) I have are that it takes so long to just connect to a call let alone only then starting to actually call the person after like 2 minutes of waiting. I am also experiencing issues as to why we cant type too long of texts. I think users should be able to write long paragraphs instead of having to do separate texts if one is too long. The last issue I'm having is with the voice messages, you see, the person that I am communicating with could have the absolute best wifi in the world and I could too but the voice chats are extremely glitchy, laggy, choppy, and sometimes freeze. But overall this a mediocre app. My parents also like the fact that they can track my activity! Maybe if you just try to make the network a little more stable and fix some bugs and issues it'll be five stars in no time but for now that's all I have to say. (But still an amazing app)

Nice app. I do wish there were more options in the drawing thing. Stuff like an entire color palette to choose from instead of limited colors. A paint bucket tool, and a way to zoom in and out on your drawing. Also with profile pictures you gotta take a picture right then and there, you cant pick one from your gallery. Other than that I recommend this. Gave a good day

I love messenger kids, but lately it's been really really glitchy. Can someone please work on fixing the bugs? Specifically, when somebody sends me a bunch of photos at once, no matter which one I click on, it only shows me the first photo they sent. It makes it really hard to see photos. Also something that's really bothering me is that certain people's profile pictures go blank, and won't show up, which is confusing, because everybody looks the same. Thanks for whoever is reading this

The app is overall great, sure ot can be a bit glitchy here and there, but the bugs are rarely even big. The only thing that's really annoying, is that on some devices you can have a full theme, on others you can decorate it a little bit, and on aome (like mine) you're stuck with a dark blue, amd cannot change it. I've tried many different ways, but it just doesn't work. It's not that much of a big deal, but it's just a really annoying bug :/

Great! I like it, but I just can't get notifications for messages. I recently messed with my settings and finally got my phone to ring for calls when it's off. I can get notifications for pictures, but I can't get notifications for just messages. I only have one friend and not knowing and not responding to messages has made our friendship drift apart. this has been a HUGE problem for me for over 4 months and I can't fix it through any of my settings.

this app it an amazing app that allows you to message/call friends and personally i find it very helpful but one thing that I don't have is the ability to save videos. idk if this is just for me or anyone else but it would be way more helpful if I could save a video like how I save pictures, and another thing is for my pfp, like I can't turn the picture so most of the time I pick one and it will just turn. Can you please update it pls🥲😁 other than those, It is very great 👍. kind regards.

half of the time we use it and send a message, it says "unable to be sent". this happens on my phone off wifi and her tablet on wifi. clearing the app cache and storage, uninstalling and reinstalling never works. then all of a sudden it'll start working again. this happens every month at least and I can't find a fix for this anywhere... disappointing.

Went through the process of setting the account and adding people, but the home screen is blank. The people added, though we cant see them, can message my kid, but my kid can't send messages out without using the notification of receiving a message that only drops down for a couple seconds before it's gone. It like this across three different devices. In the parent portal, I can see who has messaged my kid, but not what. Even the "Help Center" comes up blank.

It was working at first, now it's sending me through a neverending cycle of logging me out and logging back in. I have 2 child profiles and when I want to switch profiles to another child, I receive an error message that something went wrong and to ask a grown-up for help. Then I have to through the whole password process AGAIN!! I can't get back in! It's the most frustratjng experience ever because it's an unending loop and I don't know how to break it. Seriously FB?! What is this???
