Once it works, it is a really useful app, especially when you travel in China, it would be a lot better if it is a bit more user-friendly to make an account and to use the pay option. You can't use the wallet is you don't have a Chinese card, and if you add a foreign card, you can only verify it once you pay for something, but that takes a few days to activate, so at that time you can't pay. A lot of the text is still in Chinese though. Translation should be improved.

App was slow and sluggish on my phone, also slowed my whole phone down. Had intended to use the app to stay in touch with a friend in China, so only had one contact. We exchanged a few messages but a day later my account was blocked for "suspicious actvity" and proved impossible to recover. Looking around online I can tell I'm not the only one with this issue.

The so called security measures are ridiculous. Took me ages to get my account active. Now a can't add persons from my contact. Even de first atemt of the invite give a "too frequent" error. In chats the function to reply on messages is really lacking. Hope this feature will be added soon. (Video) calling, also in groups, works really well. The error when attempting to sign in to the web app should be changed to: "we no longer support the web app".
