Used to be a must-have app if you knew people in Korea but with the recent changes and adding ads to the app, it's just become another big tech company trying to squeeze out absolutely everything they can from their users while degrading the experience. You're free to do that as a company but I hope the users leave this ad-ridden app for something else.

they recently added ads as banners. The problem is the ads come a second after it loads and it's easily clickable because it loads as you click on the first chat. it's very annoying. also, they store huge amounts of data on your phone that should be temporary and deleted after a period of time but it stays on permanently. so if you're someone with a lot of video files and pictures, then the app size will only get bigger and bigger because it stores that data on your phone.

A dependable messenger, but with the recent update to include ads, it's become a more frustrating experience. Especially the ad that populates on the top of the list of chats. It appears a second late, which often makes you click on it instead of the first unread chat messenger. This is obviously intended to encourage unintended clicks. Not a service that has the best interest of users in mind.

This app has fallen to a similar trap like so many others where the UI/UX takes a back seat to ads. The newest update pushes an intrusive ad at the top of the chats list window. It's annoying but is made worse by the fact that it loads half a second later than everything else, making the chat rooms "jump" down. This occurs regardless of the speed of the internet connection (Wi-Fi vs mobile data), leading to misclicking on the ad, inflating engagement stats. Do better Kakao Corp, do better.

such a terrible app. first of all, the stickers are outright ugly, and you have to pay to get more stickers, which I thought alright, the company needs to make money. but now they also added apps on every single page which is even more annoying. what's more, in the US it simply doesn't seem to work properly and for me, refused to send messages until it forced to upgrade to the version with the ads. in Korea, this seems to be the app that everyone uses so you are forced to it without alternatives

Same as others, I was restricted as soon as I signed up. Contacted them about it, and they responded. Unfortunately, they just responded with the rules for why one would be restricted, like I hadn't read it already. Like, all I did was literally just sign up. By the looks of things, clearly this isn't a friendly app for peeps with international numbers (i.e. not from korea).
