Full reviews: Azar · MeetMe

Azar, once a popular video chat app, is facing a significant backlash due to recent updates that have removed key features and introduced a 'pay-to-win' model, leading to widespread user dissatisfaction. MeetMe, while not explicitly reviewed here, is implied to offer a more stable and user-friendly experience given Azar's current issues.

Head to head

Features edge: MeetMeR5R6R7R10
Azar Users are overwhelmingly negative about recent Azar updates, stating that the app removed live streaming in the US, eliminated randomized video chats, and changed its core functionality to a 'Tinder-like' invitation system R5R15R42. Many miss the 'old facade' and the previous version's ability to easily connect with people globally R6R7R10.
MeetMe There are no specific reviews for MeetMe to detail its features, but by comparison, Azar's users are actively seeking alternatives that provide a 'better video chat experience' R7.
Ease of Use edge: MeetMeR6R11R25R28
Azar Azar's new updates are described as 'boring,' 'difficult,' and 'tiring,' with users disliking the new invitation system and the long waiting times R6R25. Some users also report issues with adding photos R11 and connection problems R28.
MeetMe No specific reviews for MeetMe are available to assess its ease of use, but the widespread complaints about Azar's current interface suggest a significant decline in user experience.
Reliability edge: MeetMeR3R20R28R32
Azar Azar users report issues with the app closing conversations unexpectedly R3 and problems with connecting R28. There are also claims of 'fake profiles' and 'bots' R36. The overall sentiment is that the app has become 'the worst thing ever' and 'trash' after the updates R20R32.
MeetMe MeetMe's reliability cannot be directly assessed from the provided reviews, but Azar's recent performance issues and user complaints about its stability and authenticity are significant.
Price/Value edge: MeetMeR3R8R12R34
Azar Azar users are highly critical of the app's monetization strategy, calling it a 'money grab' and 'pay to win' R12R38. Users report that 'every feature costs money' and that the app charges for subscriptions without clear warnings R3R8R12. There are also complaints about the app 'stealing credit' or 'gems' without actual connections R34. The value proposition has significantly decreased, with users stating they won't buy more gems and are looking for alternatives .
MeetMe MeetMe is also a Free + IAP app, but without specific reviews, a direct comparison of its pricing model and value is not possible. However, Azar's current 'pay-to-win' model is a major point of contention for its users.
Support tie
Azar There are no direct mentions of Azar's customer support, but the widespread and consistent negative feedback regarding updates and billing issues suggests that user concerns are not being adequately addressed R8R11R34.
MeetMe No reviews are available for MeetMe to assess its customer support.
