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.
Reviews for Messenger Kids – The Messaging
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!
