Comments on Kik — Messaging & Chat App for Android

★★★★☆ Josh Shinn · Apr 24, 2026
The group chats/chatrooms are good but the app is buggy and slow/laggy on my high-end phone
★★★★★ Shan Alimohamed · Feb 12, 2026
Not a bad app, but can you give us the option to restore our chat messages?
★★★★★ Nyambura Waweru · Feb 18, 2026
Four stars because....... Kik jail. Would be really nice if you got rid of that
★☆☆☆☆ Ajala Kings · Dec 16, 2025
If you like talking to AI bots this is the app for you. If you like talking to real people well, you won't find that here. It's all spam accounts. I received 12 spam messages in just 24hrs, not one real chat.
★☆☆☆☆ Rochelle Krampota · Aug 19, 2025
Miss the old version when there weren't lives or ads. Now have issues can't even chat apparently I've used all 15 of my chats when I haven't been on in LONG time or never used them. There is no support button that I have found.
★☆☆☆☆ Minior · Oct 20, 2025
If there were an award for the worst chat app ever, kik would earn 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
