So here's my honest take after testing VK for a while. I've used pretty much every major social app out there, and VK is... different. It's like someone took Facebook, WhatsApp, and Spotify and threw them in a blender. And the result? Kind of a mess, but also kind of brilliant. What I really like is how everything's in one place - you don't need five different apps to do what VK does. But there's a catch: it can feel super overwhelming at first, especially if you're used to more focused apps. The music streaming is a nice bonus, though the selection isn't as good as Spotify. And while the interface could definitely use some work, I've gotta admit it's pretty impressive how much stuff they've packed in here without the app completely falling apart.

  • Works great for connecting with people in Eastern Europe

Cons

  • Interface is pretty cluttered and takes time to learn
  • English translations are rough in some places
  • Can feel overwhelming with too many features

Description

Been using VK for about a month now, and it’s basically Russia’s answer to Facebook meets Spotify. It’s this massive social network where you can do pretty much everything – chat with friends, watch videos, listen to music, and even join video calls. Not gonna lie, it took me a while to figure out where everything was since the interface is kinda busy.

The messaging part works really well – you can chat one-on-one or set up group chats with basically unlimited people. And the video calls are completely free with no time limits, which is pretty sweet. There’s also this whole entertainment side with music streaming and video clips that’s pretty addictive once you get into it. Plus, they’ve got these community groups for literally everything you can think of.

Look, if you’ve got friends or family in Russia or Eastern Europe, this app’s probably gonna be super useful for you. It’s definitely got more features than you’ll probably ever use, which is both good and bad. The English translation is a bit wonky in places, and some features feel a bit overwhelming at first. But once you get the hang of it, it’s actually pretty decent for keeping in touch and entertainment stuff.

I am unable to login, i enter my number and the slide right option appears but it disappears the next second, no matter how much I try,

Soniya Akhter October 14, 2025

Feature sing-up option via mails. We cannot create a VK account using phone numbers. The code never comes and shows 'The Number Is Incorrect'. It's literally impossible to create VK...
