1. [R13] Telegram Messenger 2/5 · US Telegram Is Turning Into a Paywall Factory: Telegram used to be a solid messaging app, but lately it feels like they’re charging for anything they can get away with. Basic features like message translation are now locked behind limits unless you pay, and the “free” translations run out almost immediately. It’s ridiculous watching a once‑great app nickel‑and‑dime users for features that were standa
2. [R61] Snapchat 2/5 · US Storage: I’m rating this a two star because personally Snapchat has been pissing me off. There’s no reason we should have to pay for storage. It was never like this years ago, but all of a sudden they wanna charge people and threaten taking away all of the pictures we have saved for years! You should be lucky everybody is still dedicated to Snapchat when they have the worst file restoration. Every
3. [R63] Snapchat 3/5 · US Snapchat Review: I love snapchat but I hate how they make you PAY for storage after not having us pay for the past 15 years and now if you don’t pay it will delete your memories. Honestly makes me want to delete the app.
4. [R79] Snapchat 1/5 · US Since yall want a review: Used to love snapchat, until things changed for the worse. Now you expect us to pay for more storage just like apple & charging to use some snap lenses , that’s ridiculous. This app has fallen off for the worst. My old snapchat got banned for no reason, never was given a choice to restore all my photos and pictures i lost years worth of memories , even pictures with lost
5. [R12] Telegram Messenger 3/5 · US Has potential but is a buggy mess: Two longstanding bugs make this app downright unusable. 1. is that airpods announced messages are repeated over and over if not actioned. This is not how it works for other messaging apps btw. 2. is that autocorrect suggestions are auto-accepted on send but somehow the user input gets interspersed into the completion. Also not the case for other messaging apps. I
6. [R51] Telegram Messenger 3/5 · GB Sucks on ios: I love telegram, it is the best messenger in Android. But the app has many flaws on ios version. First when you open subgroups in a group, it always opens at the end of the conversation, not where you last read. Second, global search function sometimes works sometimes doesnt. Also some video messages posted on channels are playing with frozen video while the sound is playing. Overall
7. [R75] Snapchat 3/5 · US App is loading everything slow: There has been a significant increase in loading for the app and now having issues with sending anything at all after this recent update. Not sure what caused it but I’m having a feeling it has to do with the update recently.
8. [R80] Snapchat 5/5 · US Honest review: I honestly love this app so much, this is so fun, to connect with your friends and family in a creative way!
9. [R22] Telegram Messenger 1/5 · US Doesn’t load onto my phone: Stopped working on my iPhone 16 Pro Max, white screen, that’s all. Then I deleted and have been trying to reload but it does not! Am I the only one? This is the only app that does this!
10. [R52] Telegram Messenger 1/5 · US Garage: My account has been limited because of “spam “ that I had absolutely nothing to do with because someone added me to a group chat that I had nothing to do with and apparently my account is permanently limited now with no way to remove the limitations so I am deleting this garbage app, I wish I could give it zero stars
11. [R64] Snapchat 1/5 · US Phone ban: I got banned for following my friends i guess it counts as spam but the part i dont get is the fact i can never make an account again on this phone i have to literally get a whole new phone just to make an account but i cant so i cant use snap anymore i think they should give more chances before permanently banning you
12. [R109] Snapchat 1/5 · US broken: my snap won’t let me add anyone it won’t show them i added them and if they add me it won’t show me i added them
13. [R83] Snapchat 4/5 · US memories: the only think i do not like abt this app is the memory storage and you have to pay for more storage i think if we got to keep are memories without having to pay this app would be a 10/10
14. [R103] Snapchat 1/5 · US Money grab, disgusting company: I’ve been using this app for 8+ years and now all of a sudden there requiring people to sign up for one of their subscription services otherwise they will delete your saved memories. They give you 5gb for free and then after that your screwed, for someone who has been using this app for quite sometime some of the funniest videos I have are on here and it’s honestly
15. [R7] Telegram Messenger 1/5 · US Support system: I havent seen such terrible support team in a long time. They just blocked my number when couldnt help.
16. [R81] Snapchat 3/5 · US Bad: My account got banned for no reason I
