1. 4/5things

   i used to use this app all the time before getting a phone. now that i have messages and i am able to talk to my friends, i don’t really use it anymore. I created a new account to talk to my brother when he is away because he doesn’t have messages or a phone/apple id yet so we have no way of communication when he is away besides this app. since i got it again there are just some things i’d like to talk about (mostly the problems that need fixing or just things that need to be changed) 1. Whenever someone is spam calling you (or just calling you in general) if you open the app then it just goes straight to the call and you’re not able to text the person calling you or anyone else until you decline the call or wait for the call to go away. It is very annoying and causes a lot of typos when that happens. 2. Whenever someone calls you and you answer, you can’t turn off your camera right as you answer. For facetime, when you are called, before you answer you have the choice to turn off your camera or flip it. Since this app is supposed to be used for kids who don’t have a phone or apple id to call/ text friends and family, some of these kids might be going through things where they don’t like their appearance. Turning off the camera right as you join the call should be added because it is very annoying not being able to turn off your camera when you want to. That is all I have today but I will be making edits as I use the app more and find more things that need work. Thank you for reading this.

2. 4/5Messenger Kids Is Awesome!! 😎🤩 A few suggestions though

   I’ve been using Messenger Kids for a while now. I started using it when my cousin and best friend Olivia got it a few years ago to talk with her. We would text each other, call, and video chat quite a bit on the app. It works very well. The video chat feature is very good if you wish to see the other person’s face, and miss them and just want to talk longer than over text. It works pretty well most of the time but there are times when it is kinda glitchy and doesn’t work as well. For example, say you audio called someone, (no video camera), so you are talking to your friend, cousin, whoever, and all of a sudden the audio gets very quiet and starts sounding very faint. Then you can hardly hear the other person on the phone, and you have to eventually hang up the call and call them again. It can happen several times and is very annoying and inconvenient. Also, when you video chat someone, sometimes when you are on the call it just randomly pauses, glitches, or stops the video. That is also very annoying and inconvenient because then you usually have to call that other person several times again to get it to work. I wish that whoever made the app could fix these bugs because then the app would work a lot better. Overall it’s a very good and helpful app. I use it to communicate with my best friend Charlie and my young out of state cousins. I just wish the app developers who made this app could and would fix all those bugs and glitches. Thank you!

3. 4/5Good but some glitches

   I’m a kid myself. I use this app for my friends who can only have messenger kids. I am a kid and I think it’s pretty fun to have. Some games are cheesy and lame to be honest. MESSENGER KIDS NEEDS TO SEE THIS ONE PART! The glitches are super bad. I don’t know if it’s just mine, but on my phone and iPad and my moms phone, it was super slow. Whenever my friends would text me it would give me a notification just like any other. When I got onto the app and looked at the messages it wouldn’t show. Then a week to a month will pass later and the same exact notification will pop up. I get on messenger kids and it finally shows me what my friends are up to a month ago. One night I’m just watching a show when I hear a buzzing noise. The noise was my phone ringing. When I pick it up it stops. It was from one of my group chats I had on messenger kids. When I opened the app up, it didn’t say anything. When you usually call it’ll say “Missed Call”. This time it didn’t say anything. It kept calling, and calling, and calling, and calling over, over, over, and over again. The only way I could get it to stop was by powering my phone down and turning it back on. Then about 30 minutes later, it started doing it again. The games are slow, everything is slow, everything’s glitchy. Everything’s messed up. If I honestly had a child, I wouldn’t give them messenger kids. I would give them iMessage with parent controls on it. If you read this Messenger Kids (probably didn’t) then thank you! 🙏

4. 4/5My messenger kids review

   Hello! I am going to tell you what i think of this app. For starters, its definitely helpful cause when i had my tablet, i used it and i only had my parents, and our group chat and own chats, then my best friend, and my cousin, and another friend, and also other people im not really friends with. it was very nice and i loved all the cool stickers that it gave me to use. Also, the facetime is really nice too. okay now for the things i need to have fixed. since now i have a phone, i need some assistance. First, i have added more people on it such as another friend of mine who i recently became friends with at the beginning of the school year, who does not have a phone but has a tablet, and my sister who does not have a phone but it very close. when lets say my friend i recently became with, texts me and sends me a pic of something like her dogs and then she says like this is so and so. thats two messages but on my home screen, it only shows one text. from her. and me sometimes when i send her something like maybe ill reply to her saying like how cute or something then ill go to another app or something and then ill still say one message from it and i go into it again and i didnt get texted. i have to go back into my chat with her and then go back out of it. last thing, i wish the facetime thing would be like regular like i see my friend's picture clearer and more closer. mine and hers are the same size i dont like that. thats all for now byeeee. 😘✌🏼

5. 4/5Pretty good

   This is a good app for children who don’t have phone numbers or can’t be trusted with a phone number I wish that if you were allowed to send links because sometimes my friends try and send me links it won’t work. I know you have to get your parent to approve it, but I think it would be easier if they were approved and not approved sites to send links from also please bring back the video call games. A lot of my friends don’t even know what they were and I miss them so much. They were very fun messenger kids is very easy and accessible. I wish it had a little bit more customization and maybe you could change the contact name not just a group chat. Overall, this is a pretty good app for anyone who wants to wait to communicate with friends that’s free. It’s a really good app I was suggest getting it if you or your friends don’t have phone numbers or a phone. You can use this on a tablet or computer well, at least I used on a computer in the past, but that’s not the point. It is a very good app and sometimes they can be glitchy depending on your device, but as long as you have a pretty good device, it should work well with no glitches or anything note to parents if you would like to look through your children’s texts it allows you to do that but it also will report anything mean or anything like that so don’t worry about that stuff so much or at least that’s what I read, but I’ve had this for a long time anyway have a great day!
