2/5Only accepts Chinese phone number
This app only accepts a Chinese phone number. I just wanted to test this app to see why it’s so popular, and potentially use it more once I’m better at reading and speaking Chinese, but without a Chinese phone number it won’t even let me create an account. Even if I’ve heard they accept all international numbers, the only valid options are Chinese area codes. Do not get this app unless you are actually in china. If you want alternatives try Snapchat or messengers like WhatsApp and Facebook Messenger, or for Korea, try Naver apps like their Line messenger, which are very popular here in the US and in Korea. Even international Chinese can’t even use this app if they switched to a US number after moving here, and even though this isn’t my case, I can strongly empathize with frustrated people who want to continue using their favorite messaging app but can’t after moving. Please fix these basic things and don’t lock out your users because of location; it’s really frustrating and ultimately probably looses you many regular users a year. Also, if you want to release a Chinese app on the American App Store, a lot of us would appreciate an English toggle switch so we can actually navigate if we have friends in China and want to communicate with them through this app. Even if I’m going to be studying Chinese in college it’ll take me awhile to get to the level where I can read some of the prompts they put and the ad for the app. Fix these and it will make many potential and current users happy. Thank you for your time reading this review.

2/5Reminder to backup
Don’t forget to pick up your messages and data when you delete this app. The messages are stored locally, but not in cloud. Also, it will not give you a notification or any sort of reminder during the use of this app. I have just redownloaded and found out my previous messages has all been deleted from the app. I have deleted and reinstalled this app only once to find out so there are several of years of messages has been deleted. It’s a painful way to find out. So don’t be like me, remember to back up or just use an alternative.

1/5The Worst Communication Software
First of all, this is the worst software I’ve ever used for communications. Step aside from all the functionality topics, the optimization of this software is ridiculously stupid. On an iPhone SE 2020 with the A13 processor, this software can make my phone heat up heavily for no valid reasons, imagine heats for a software that is just for communication, like seriously?? The next thing is what everyone commented about already, the language issues, the software is published on a international app store but yet no any other language choices other than Chinese. Even though I am native to Chinese but I still don’t get what is the point of making it internalized if there isn’t any supports for multiple languages, at least add English. Besides languages, they don’t even allow people without a phone number and ID from China to register. There are so much more other disgusting issues about this app but lastly I will just talk about the manage group of the software, yes I understand this app is a Chinese application, there are many strict rules, totally understandable. But banning accounts for no reasons at all????? Really can’t complain more about QQ, -10/10 rating if there is an option

1/5！
Tencent QQ's mobile app suffers from several UI design flaws that detract from the overall user experience. The complex layout, filled with numerous features, creates a cluttered interface that can be overwhelming for new users trying to locate essential functions. Moreover, the lack of clear visual hierarchy means important features are often not emphasized, making them hard to find. Additionally, inconsistent styles among various interface elements result in a visually uncoordinated experience. Frequent updates can cause confusion as users struggle to adapt to new layouts and functionalities. Furthermore, some font and color combinations are hard to read, negatively impacting usability. Lastly, while there are a few skins available, the overall design lacks sufficient options for personalization. These shortcomings significantly affect my satisfaction.

1/5Waste of time
Tried to sign up for an account on my laptop, the webpage told me to download this app on my phone. Downloaded and tried again. It said my US number is unsecured and couldn’t register for a new account. But guess what? I have a China phone number, so I tried again! But then it asks for a user verification, which requires a current user of QQ to help verify your identity. This is a barrier to most people, but not me because I could ask my sister - but GUESS WHAT?? My sister’s account could not help me verify because it’s not linked to a bank account. But this is a social media - if she’s not paying for anything like a normal person why would she have her bank account linked??? IM SO DONE that this company keeps asking for more personal information and trying so hard to invade privacy.
