User Reviews

Users generally like ChMate’s core functionality and image support, but multiple reviewers report serious issues: aggressive ad downloads wasting data, purchases not being applied with no developer response, posting/ban problems, overseas connectivity failures, and NG/filtering or image-download bugs. These are the most frequently mentioned concerns.

Pros

Multiple users praise the app as useful, reliable and feature-rich.
Users appreciate image hosting support (Imgur) and image-related functionality.
Active user base and positive sentiment — several reviewers call it excellent or supportive.

Cons

Aggressive ads / forced downloads that consume mobile data.
In-app purchases not applied or recognized; reports of no developer response.
Posting and moderation problems (cannot post on some boards, unclear ban judgments).
Connectivity and access problems from overseas (boards fail to open; region/GDPR-related errors).
Content-filtering and image-handling bugs (NG filters not working, unwanted graphic images, slow/uncancellable image downloads).
