- [R1] Wakie Chat This app is an absolute mess: Such a shame, used to be significantly better when I joined a few years ago. After the removal of call topics, it’s become impossible (especially as woman) to weed out the creeps, in which there are a LOT. There also seems to be a lot of users from one particular country that have flooded the app and made it literally impossible to use without being harassed, unless
- [R8] Wakie Chat A Gateway to Genuine Connections": Wakie Voice App has been a game-changer for me. It’s more than just a platform for conversation; it’s a place where connections are formed, perspectives are broadened, and genuine interactions thrive. From late-night chats to morning inspiration, Wakie has become my go-to for meaningful conversations with like-minded individuals from around the world. It’s truly
- [R12] Wakie Chat About wakie: So I been using wakie for around 2 years now and it’s fun you get to post how you feel or anything you want and get responses comments and likes and people might DM you there’s also an option where u don’t allow people to DM you. You get to join a club where you can talk to a group of people according to how many people are on the club at that moment and if you don’t want to talk you
- [R14] Wakie Chat Mr: It’s the greatest app I’ve ever used and downloaded The idea is just awesome And the people and community here so friendly it’s an amazing app to talk to people about anything and everything In short I just love this app
- [R3] Wakie Chat Message Glitch: After recent update, when I am ready for calls and when I swipe people for calls. There is msg button to text them rather than the compliment one. That message button is not working, I keep tapping on it but nothing works :/
- [R9] Wakie Chat Keep crashing: Every time I try to join a club call it keeps glitching and crashing! Very poor quality.
- [R18] Wakie Chat REMOVING TOPICS RUINED THE APP!: I’m disappointed with the recent changes to the app, specifically the removal of topics. Topics were an important feature that allowed users, especially women, to have some control over their interactions and filter out uncomfortable or unsafe conversations. Without this feature, the app feels less safe and welcoming. It’s now much harder to determine who you’re ab
- [R4] Wakie Chat WAKIE IS A MESS: This app is literally moderated by perverts, they ban you for taking action against other perverts and the management and support are just useless they never help or reply, this app kills the fun for people who genuinely want to use it for fun but boom here comes the ban because you’re just not a pervert like the rest 2025 update: this app is still a terrible app, the moderators
- [R6] Wakie Chat Not bad: Just a couple of creeps
- [R7] Wakie Chat This isn’t good as a thought it was: Why is there so many scanners on this app?
- [R13] Wakie Chat The premium is waste of money: I bought the premium version for a month and all the time I select one gender and it says there are 1200 callers looking for a call but I find 2 or 5 or sometimes none for hours so people who own this app. Tell me why is this paying for nothing
- [R24] Wakie Chat Not happy: I used to be a member of this app when it was called Wakie Wakie The name has changed and you now charge a subscription Why don’t you give people a choice to either put up with adverts or pay for the app with no adverts This way I believe you will gain more subscribers as well Kind regards
- [R36] Wakie Chat Banned for no reason.: Wakie banned me for no reason at all, yesterday i logged into my wakie account and found that i got banned for “ Nudity “ but it was a normal picture of me. The worst part is i contacted the Wakie support on settings and they haven’t even replied to any of my messages, not even a reply on my Appeal. It has almost been two days and wakie is still “ reviewing “ my appeal. It’
- [R15] Wakie Chat Good to talk to strangers from different places but: It's rated 17+ in the App Store but people 13 and above can still use it (even pre-teens though it's against the terms) anyway, my problem is with how the 18+ filter is pretty much useless when I report a topic it gets deleted yes but that doesn't stop people who posted it, you should get them banned because there are many naive and immature pe
- [R19] Wakie Chat Amazing: This app is so good to use if you want to make friends from around the globe. You’ll come across club calls which are so fun! I met this girl called ‘mími’ from United Kingdom and she has changed my experience. You will too come across friends for life
- [R30] Wakie Chat Waste of time: This app is so infuriating. I can’t open my chats, or group chats. I can’t even touch my screen. I would give it 0 star if it would let me
- [R32] Wakie Chat Refuses to open on iOS15: I am literally paying £8 a month for this app and I can’t even open it ever since I upgraded to iOS 15! Please fix this ASAP!!! It’s just stuck on the loading screen!!! :(
