Comments on Kik — Messaging & Chat App for Android

★★★★☆ Sagar S · Jun 17, 2026

Kik works now. However, there's a glitch at the startup, and the Kik logo zooms in all over the screen. It works, but the smoothness is nothing like the top messengers. The performance and UI can definitely be improved. Otherwise, it's a nice app that I've always admired for letting people connect without making use of a phone number. Not to mention, logging out clears the chat history as they're stored internally, and not on cloud. And the email verification site was flagged for not having SSL.

★★★★★ Shan Alimohamed · Feb 12, 2026

Not a bad app, but can you give us the option to restore our chat messages?

★★★★☆ 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.

★☆☆☆☆ AP News Bharat · Dec 18, 2025

I think this app is only meant to fool people. It doesn’t even let you log in. Every time, it just asks you to update.

★★☆☆☆ Bre Bre · Apr 20, 2026

It was a decent app to meet people, but now there are a lot of bots, so it's hard to, and I get notifications from people I blocked which is very annoying and when someone messaged me even though I have notifications on I only receive them when I open the app.

★☆☆☆☆ Brendan Brian Deacon · Oct 20, 2025

Kik has completely fallen apart. The app freezes, crashes, and loses accounts for no reason. It’s flooded with bots — real users are impossible to find. The good old days of smooth video calls and real chats are long gone. The developers clearly stopped caring. Kik is now a broken, bot-filled mess that’s not worth anyone’s time.
