The worst messaging app ever

  1. Can't use on multiple devices at the same time
  2. Use A LOT of storage like 5 gigs if you have multiple groups with every one use stickers every day
  3. Very slow and can slow down old devices
  4. Doesn't has servers to keep all your data it's like "Owncloud" you keep it and you take it with you every where if you set it on new device it's new life
  5. all parents and school with old principle use it (like literally they use it for real)
Review from a new or low-activity account — shown here, but not counted in the app rating.

I was user for many years. IDK why it says freemium here, because it is free to use! only have some extra emoticons which are paid. I never had problem using, like stability, lost messages or unsent. I rather use line than whatsapp. The way you add contacts is different. it doesnt nosy your phone book. and it have protection for add strangers for underage users.

The most used messenging app in Japan, more than Facebook/email/SMS and other apps.

Despite that, it has many bugs, especially the desktop app.

If you have a MVNO carrier, you are out of luck, some features will not work.
