  1. 5/5BEST MESSAGING APP EVER!

    Hi so this is the best app for messaging ever!! It really is probably better than I messaging!!!!! I use it with my friends who don't have iMessage. It is sooo cool!! all of the fonts are so wonderful. You can only do one font on iMessage which is super boring! But on stars- it's a whole new deal! Send incredible messages with fun different fonts! All of this app is so fun!! I love sending pictures! My friend and I made up a game called categories- we send pictures basically! 😂 So I love this app a lot.... Just a few conditions. 1. So first off you can video chat! Which I thought was totally cool. I tried it with one of my friends. So I could see myself but not her. It doesn't really work well. Please fix that bug! 2. Sorry I'm being picky but I am addicted to emojis and I love them. There's not a ton of emojis on stars! So maybe you guys can add more? 3. So the last one is about the star bot. I tried asking him questions but he never answers!!!! A few years ago I downloaded this app (and then I had to delete for reasons) and I got it back on my iPad and the boy never answers!! The one before I deleted it was replying right away. It's a little stressful! I understand you guys have a lot of users but it would be helpful if you could make them reply faster. 4. Ringer! So this one is just a suggestion but maybe in settings we can change the ringer when someone texts you on stars! So yeah this app is so awesome hit just those things maybe you could fix! Still a five star app tho! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  2. 5/5Amazing app!

    Thank you so much for creating this app. I use it a lot whenever I have some friends who don’t have messaging. When I downloaded the app all my friends were going crazy over it. We did some research finding out that there was no calling which was kind of a bummer. We figured out three days before I wrote this review that we had found out there was calling! That’s my favorite feature! Thank you so much for creating it! Since then we’ve been using it for months etc. I have another issue. Last one. The help and respond guy isn’t responding anymore! I still can’t figure out why but I don’t know if it’s a robot or someone texting me. Is that even safe? I hope. Thank you so much for the creation of this! I look forward to seeing more updates! Thank again! Sincerely, MicroKittie

  3. 5/5Stars

    So, I like this app so much because it’s exciting. And I could talk to my friends. And I can do video chatting and send photos and videos and everything I just like it so much . The pros: We can talk to each other even though we were kids and not grown-ups which is the most best part. We can sound like voice messages video photos and other stuff like that. We can video chat and audio chat with each other. It’s exciting. Stars has my back if there’s any problems. I got to make my own profile. It’s safe And most of all it’s a kids messenger app and you can contact your friends and family. It says who the ring when you video chat for you you can have a group chat separate. There’s lots of fun things that you can do on Stars and fun messaging. Stars has your back with help The cons: The first time I got the app the messages don’t show up but thankfully STARZ has my back. (that’s it.)

  4. 3/5Can’t close pictures on iPhone - Can’t send messages to Support

    Update: Developer said, “tap the upper right corner to close pictures.” This does not work. The upper right corner is empty, black space - no menu, no icons- nothing there. Pictures do not close. The Developer Support page still does not accept messages and still says, “Oops, something is wrong.” Original post: I have a fully updated iPhone 13. I can open pictures posted in the conversation in the app, but I cannot close them and return to the message without completely closing the app and then reopening the app and reopening the message. I tried to send a message to Support but got an “Oops, something is wrong” response.

  5. 5/5Excellent so far!

    I heard KiK was shutting down soon and was really upset about the news since I absolutely love KiK. I discovered this app and I decided to try it out. So far, it's great! I love how you can personalize your text message; you can change the font, font color, and font size. Additionally, the video chat feature is very smooth for me and I favor the cute emojis. Although I'm an adult, I do like how it's kid friendly. I always got annoyed whenever random bots texted me. Overall, 5/5 stars from me! A kid friendly app with all the features any texting app has. I highly recommend it!
