Comments on Kik — Messaging & Chat App for Android

★★★★★ Shan Alimohamed · Feb 12, 2026
Not a bad app, but can you give us the option to restore our chat messages?
★★★★★ M -FELIX DAVILA · Nov 2, 2026
Restart new app can't judge it to im in old reviews don't me anything when it's a new provider.so let see how the new kik provider live work.
★★★★☆ sub bob68 · Jun 22, 2026
If you are away for a few days, and you are in lots of groups, it can take ages to catch up to date. It would be nice to have the option of just downloading that last one day's worth or skipping the catch-up all together.
★☆☆☆☆ Arron Harrison (Ziggy) · Apr 23, 2026
I've used the platform for many years on and off but today was the last straw. I kept putting up with the ads the bots and the scammers but now that the last of my friends have left there is no point using this app anymore. Over the last year I've had to block and report so many people but nothing is done. There is a growing number of people that are running extortion rackets on there and have targeted me, so I think it's time kik goes into the bin for me
★☆☆☆☆ Lachie Vincent · Jun 26, 2026
Adds in the middle of the message lists that are unskippable, unclosable and THEY PLAY MUSIC THAT DOESN'T TURN OFF
★☆☆☆☆ Collin O'Reilly · Aug 24, 2026
Congrats, you lot managed to remove the live function that absolutely no one ever wanted and in so doing broke the app so now it doesn't receive messages unless actively open
