  1. 5/5My favorite app! This app is absolutely amazing!

    It‘s interface is incredibly clean and the core features stand out. It's a must have app for communicating and connecting with family and friends, and you can also share your daily life on Moments. Moreover, it offers a wide range of functions. In China, it can almost take care of every aspect of life. From handling business and financial activities, ordering food delivery, playing games, shopping, hassle-free flight check-ins, transferring money to friends, accessing fitness and health data, scheduling doctor appointments, receiving bank statements, paying utility bills, interacting and scheduling services with businesses and government, transportation, reading digital magazines, donating to charitable organizations, and integrating with other apps... you name it, this app does it all!

  2. 1/5Impossible for me to get registered

    So I guess your goal is to stop your own apps’ progresss?!! I can’t even register because it’s telling me to “contact a webchat user who meets the following condition (They do not have to be your webchat friend)” I copy/pasted below. I don’t know anyone that uses webchat. I wanted to try it out. All other platforms can find ways to verify people, but you choose the option that alienates people from ever using being able to use your app. Then to say, the person that assist you to verify DOES NOT have to be your webchat friend. Well, no one I know has it, so they won’t be able to get verified and that leaves me with asking RANDOM strangers IF they use webchat so they can help ME register. So weird for an app. No other options given for verification. I closed the app and went back in thinking they message was an error. NOPE! Same message and I can’t move forward. Deleting app. I WILL NOT asks a random stranger for help registering to an app. 🙄🙄🙄. This must be an app controlled by Xi Jinping or Kim Jong Un. This app is weird and unlike ANY APP I’ve seen as far as registration and verification. ”” a.Local users whose accounts have been registered for more than 1 month, or Mainland China users who have been registered for more than 6 months b.The account has not helped other people with Verify Friend's Registration in the last month c.The account has not been suspended in the last 6 months d. For Mainland China users, WeChat Pay need to have been activated””

  3. 1/5Once your account is locked, you are screwed over!

    The popularity of WeChat in China is tremendous, not because their product is amazing but the fact that this is the ONLY social media app in China. China has blocked other forms of social media developed by their foreign competitors. So when WeChat is the ONLY social media app, you are going to get MEDIOCRE customer service support. Like many others who depend on WeChat as a form of communication, it is absolutely ridiculous how DIFFICULT it is to unblock an account. I have contact for help in unblocking account for my father who is in his late 50s. They block him because they claim that he violated the Acceptable Use Policy and that would justify them asking for both his license and bank information to help him unblock. This is the first time I utilise a social media app with extremely strict policy and major invasion of privacy. How Chinese people are comfortable giving such information to a company basically control by the Chinese Communist Party government is crazy! My dad always praise that China is amazing but after dealing with one of the biggest social media platform in China... I disagree. If they are amazing dad, you wouldn’t have to complain to me why WeChat isn’t working anymore for you. Update: After 4 months of chasing them down and emailing them constantly, they were finally able to unlock this account. I thank the representatives that we’re finally able to push this through, and get this fixed. My dad can finally contact his family.

  4. 1/5“Suspicious Login”

    WeChat has permanently blocked my account due to a “suspicious login” which is “in serious violation” of their terms of use. I am a user in the USA and haven’t used my account for a couple of years now. I live 14 miles away from where I last used my account and tried logging on today. The app was downloaded via iOS App Store obviously and it even gave me the option of resetting my password. The password reset email was in Chinese! I changed my password anyway and tried logging in to the app. All of a sudden, it says I’m permanently blocked! This is ridiculous. You send a help request and nobody answers. And then when you try to unblock yourself, it tells you you’ve tried too many time. I can’t even have a friend verify my account, yet so can make a NEW WeChat. If someone has violated the terms of use, why should they be allowed to have another account? More importantly, what term of use did I violate? Not using the app for three years? I don’t have a VPN on my phone, I used the office iOS app. I feel like they just don’t want users from the USA. I did nothing wrong! I just want someone to tell me what I did to have my account blocked and to unlock it since it has been WRONGFULLY blocked.

  5. 1/5ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT??

    This Apps registration requirement is just mind boggling? I have NO problem whatsoever providing a phone number like so many Apps need nowadays...usually you give your number to a trustworthy developer to verify your a real person and they file with the other thousands of users Ph numbers and thats it, no big deal. But for “We Chat” they actually require you to some how randomly contact another user, who is a COMPLETE stranger from who knows were, and ask them to help you finish the registration process? Are you out of your minds? Your crazy and it blows my mind to think other users gave there actual Ph number to a total stranger who could be a hacker...a identity thief...convicted felon....killer...rapist or even worse? HOW CAN THEY EXPECT YOU TO DO SOMETHING SO DANGEROUS for such a common App that doesnt even look that promising or special? Its just SO wreckless and unacceptable and to know that there is even 1 person out that complied is by far 1 person to many? And if something does go wrong and a user is harmed in ANY way, WeChat developers should be be most definitely held responsible for causing it.....NO APP IS WORTH PUTTING YOURSELF IN HARMS WAY PEOPLE? WOW?
