User Reviews

User reviews show Kik is viewed as unstable and bloated with ads, bots, and scams. Crashes, freezes, and login issues are common, and some users face paywalls or forced subscriptions. A minority still recalls the app fondly and maintains connections or likes video chat, but overall sentiment is negative due to reliability, safety concerns, and monetization practices.

Pros

Video chat is a valued feature for some users.
App still retains basic messaging functionality for some longtime users.
Some users have ongoing connections and talk to people on the app.
Nostalgia: older users remember the app fondly for past experiences.

Cons

Frequent crashes and freezes, with slow loading and overall instability.
Excessive ads, bots, and scam activity that degrade the experience.
Login and verification problems, including being unable to log in or sign in.
Paywalls or mandatory paid plans to access features or improve experience.

as usual the new update is crashing the app. it’s like they do zero testing before they make releases. kik won’t connect and continuously says connecting. I logged out deleted the app reinstall logged back in everything’s gone all my chats all my groups and still don’t connect. great job as usual kik development team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
