  1. [R4] Likee 2/5 · GB Meh….: It doesn’t really let you type up videos or songs or have that many filters
  2. [R31] Likee 4/5 · GB Pretty good: This is a short review so I will just get to the point. I absolutely love this and think it is amazing. I think pretty much all ages could use this app, it is safe and child friendly, but there is one thing. When I make an edit and add a sound, my sound always turns off so I have to get a different sound from the app. This gets quite annoying.
  3. [R32] Likee 4/5 · GB Good but a couple problems: This app is really good for younger ones that don't have TikTok, but I tried to make a video and I couldn't put any text in, so I tried going off and on it again and it just wouldn't work, and I'm not sure if I like the fact you can only make 15 second videos but overall I would highly recommend it.
  4. [R34] Likee 5/5 · GB Sienna: I loooovvvvveeee Likee soo much it allows me to make videos which I love doing and the way it is structured is just amazing it has made me feel so much more confident and I always love how I can do really cool edits on it (I would definitely recommend it)
  5. [R3] Likee 3/5 · GB Is about the sighing in: I logged into likee but when I press the search button it keeps asking me to sign in, so I don’t know what’s going on in this update.

  9. [R1] Likee 2/5 · GB This is the worst app ever: likee is going crazy !!!!!pepole are hacking into my account !!!!!! and getting picked on I hate it I am about to get picked on my account profile pic has changed and my name tag to Now skibdytolietman and I am scared I wish I could help but this is mad !
  10. [R6] Likee 3/5 · GB This is a bit weird: I have had the notifs turned off on the app but every day I’m getting weird npc notifs? And also I once went live with my friend and we had around 200 people on our live but only around 5 of them were actual humans
  11. [R8] Likee 4/5 · GB This app is okay 😄: So I absolutely love Likee!! But sadly I’m not allowed Snapchat,TikTok etc. But anways this app is amazing but the reason why I put in 4 stars is because i have seen a tiny bit of innapropiate stuff on Likee, e.g, I saw a girl who was wearing a extremely inappropriate outfit and also her channel is really inappropriate so yeah so pls fix it and ban her . But overall this app is

  14. [R38] Likee 5/5 · GB 🙏🦅: Methinks that the app is good but most of the people are toxic manipulative people and the app is filled with bots
  15. [R20] Likee 1/5 · GB Don’t download Likee: First off, this app doesn’t properly block people when you block them, they can still watch, save and more to videos you post. Also, there is no way to delete your entire account, only your videos. This app is also filled with p3dophiles, mainly preying on kids. They can harrass these kids by spamming there messages asking for nudes, asking to do ‘dares’, or commenting disgus
  16. [R26] Likee 1/5 · GB Not for kids: This app has lots of 18+ things that kids are not supposed to se and if you see your kid having this app delete it immediately thank you bye
  17. [R24] Likee 1/5 · GB Not a big fan: It’s good to go live but some of the videos are a bit- and if you delete the app your videos stay and you can’t get them back to delete them it’s basically like TikTok the only thing is when people delete this app and there’s videos on that THEY posted delete them just like TikTok does because there not going to be downloading it again
  18. [R22] Likee 1/5 · GB Not satisfied with likeeee: I can’t log in my google account with likeee when I make a Likee account there is written your account is expired I am soo nervous what to do 🥺🥺🥺🥺😩😩😩
