1. 1/5Disappointing

   Edit: LINE will not let me delete my account unless I send them photos/screenshots of my personal information including info about the contract holder of the phone number associated with the LINE account and information about the phone contract itself. Not only that, if the phone contract holder’s name is different from the name of the LINE account holder, you are to confirm your relationship by sending photos of an official document showing the relationship. Utterly ridiculous. After almost a year of using Line to interact and communicate with a group of fellow photographers I suddenly found my messages, both in private messages and the main chat, not being sent or read. Through messages on another app I was able to confirm that while it looked like my messages were sending on Line, they actually were not. I reached out to Line and all they’d say is that my account was suspended due to me violating some Term & Condition, they then provided a list of common violations (the usual suspects; soliciting personal information, violent or obscene behaviour etc) which I had not violated. Line then tells you they can’t provide details about the violation and how it was determined and you also can’t respond back to them regarding the inquiring. I opened a second inquiry, referencing the first and that one has gone ignored for almost two weeks. A look back at my chat history clearly shows I haven’t violated anything but Line continues to suspend my account and will not respond back to me. Apparently this isn’t an isolated occurrence as a Google search led me to multiple Reddit threads where people have experienced the same nonsense suspensions and lack in communication.

2. 1/5Awful Backup Settings

   Line has some of the worst systems for keeping your account recoverable and your media easily organized. Lost all my photos because I didn’t realize they were not part of the official backups I made within the app. They only explicitly say this in a FAQ when I was trying to recover those photos afterwards. Only then did I learn you needed to manually save the photos after I had already transferred my account. This absolutely must be explicitly stated in the backup settings page when setting it up because now there’s no way for me to recover them. I will have to now bug a bunch of people and get what I can very slowly. In general, Keep is a horrible feature since you constantly and manually tell it to save your photos. This is insane as a default. Plus with how incomplete the built in backup tool is you're only one phone accident away from losing some precious memories. Albums are okay and do transfer, thankfully, but many people forget to use that feature so it’s unreliable. I also lost access to a previous account- plus all the stickers I paid for - because of how weird signing up an account was back in the day. I think that it is somewhat better now, years later, but coupled with how bad my transfer experience just was, I think I can no longer recommend using it. It feels so outdated and out of touch with how people use messaging apps. I had no problems transferring WhatsApp and iMessages to my new phone which makes Line’s “features” seem even more awful. Not user friendly at all and so easy to lose media. Never again!

3. 2/5Needs to Do Better

   I download this app like 6 years ago before going on a vacation on recommendation of a college friend of mine. He recommended it because I was going on a vacation to Japan. Part of the vacation was to see him for the first time he left the U.S.A to move there and ray at his place.I got the so I can get a hold of him better in the beginning. During the part of the vacation I stayed at his place I met a few people that I can only talk to or even get a hold of on the Line app. Fast forward a to this week I finally got a new iPhone. I tried for the first time to get into the app to talk to people on the new iPhone. I noticed I had to login. I tried and was unsuccessful. I look in the help section thinking I could find a chat to ask for help to change my passwords. I could not find anything. What I did fine was that I should have transferred over the Line app in app from my old iPhone to the new one before clearing out the old iPhone completely. I did not know that. Then I found out I found out that I could change my password if I could login with the email I had set in the app. I did not know that I ever had to set an email for the Line app. It looks like a lot other people did not know that either and are having trouble resetting their passwords like I am. If this app could do better and have a way their users can talk or email a support and a better way of changing passwords then a lot more people would have recommended this app to others. Meaning their would be more users world wide on this app then are now. I need to get back into the Line app now. You can do better Line!

4. 5/5The messaging app!

   Of all the apps out there, messenger whats app.. etc. Nothing compares to this one. Been using it since 2017. It is how I connect with my friends 24/7 best clear video and sound. Stickers??!! their collection is beyond the best out there. I connect seamlessly in it from USA to Europe. Had friends from mideast. You can even have a group video call and play a game together. It is beyond me how this app has not been more known than whatsapp n messenger when it's hands down better waaay better than them. Obviously you need a good wi-fi or cellular data. Due to the great quality it consumes more data than your average app. unbelievably awesome! my fiancé and I could have never survived our long distance relationship across continents without line. No I am not paid reviewer. This is the smallest thank you from myself and my fiancé. The developers of this app are genius!! I hope it stays as great as it is. Their stickers too. You the best! I am a grown up adult but will never outgrow these browny and Connie stickers n that little duckling one lol!

5. 5/5My favorite chat app

   I really wish more people used this app for messaging. It’s so much more fun than Discord with the various themes, stickers, and avatars. The fact that creators can make their OWN themes and stickers. All of the collaborations with our favorite brands and people (Disney, Nickelodeon, Sanrio, Pokemon, Snoopy, Garfield, Nintendo, Square Enix, HYBE, JYP, SM, YG, the list goes on and on). No need to pay a monthly fee for premium features. The attachment size limit is already much larger, and you can save the attachments and messages in your own albums. There’s even a feature where you can [capture] a conversation with an option to anonymize the names and profile pictures if you want to share a conversation. I cannot praise LINE enough. In response to the bad reviews: I truly don’t understand the bad reviews. I have been using LINE for nearly a decade now and I haven’t had a single issue. Ever. I’ve never heard of anyone getting banned, and I’ve never had to contact customer service for anything. The only situation I’ve ever experienced with logging in is because when you’re logged in on more than one device, the device that is used less will periodically log you out for security reasons, but all you do is just log back in, and it’s extremely easy. With my main device, I’ve never been forced to log out for anything. I did uninstall and reinstall once during the last 10 years, and again, I had zero issues with it. The app even kept all of my data. My only guess is that people are not wanting to use their phone numbers as a means to log in; I hate to break it to y’all, but this is the way East Asian chat apps work. They use your phone number. It’s not a big deal.
