  2. [R6] Azar 1/5 · US Azar: The new facade is very boring, we want the old facade🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
  3. [R7] Azar 2/5 · US The old version is the best: I’ve been using this app for almost 2 years and now time to look for another app can provide me a better video chat experience
  4. [R10] Azar 2/5 · US Old update: I want the old update better than this. I don't want to work with the new update.
  5. [R3] Azar 1/5 · US Not optimal: This is the second time where I messenge someone after the app decides to close the convo on me, vc mind you with no anything, they just close it, so I’m guessing they want you to pay which I did but they restrict other person with the same thing so there is no point, stick to another app, they just want your money ggs
  6. [R12] Azar 1/5 · US Trash. Garbage. Money grab.: Not much else to say. Tried it out, deleted after 5 minutes. They take advantage of people’s isolation and depression and profit off it. EVERY FEATURE COSTS MONEY.
  7. [R13] Azar 1/5 · US New update is GARBAGE: You should go back to the old version
  8. [R17] Azar 1/5 · US 👎: It doesn't work after I show my face why is it like that?!
  9. [R8] Azar 1/5 · US Terrible update, they take your money automatically).: I highly advise against downloading the new update of Azar. It is a total failure. Especially when it comes to subscriptions, they charge you and take your money without clear warning. Do not subscribe and do not download it
  10. [R15] Azar 1/5 · US Changed: Azar use to be 100% free randomized video chats where you could talk to anyone around the world, and now it’s basically a glorified tinder what happened?
  11. [R1] Azar 1/5 · US Scammers: Scammers
  12. [R36] Azar 1/5 · US Fake Profiles: I can tell high majority of the people and profiles on this app are bots and fakes I had a profile for so many years and decided to try it again. Worse decision ever made
  13. [R35] Azar 1/5 · US The new update: Now it’s really boring because of the new update that you have to invite people first
  14. [R42] Azar 1/5 · US POS: They removed video chats so you can’t ft who you meet. It’s really went down hill!!!
  15. [R38] Azar 1/5 · US pay to win: no thank you.
  16. [R44] Azar 2/5 · US New update not good: I don’t like the new update, before I was able to have a subscription which allowed me to talk to people from different countries without using gems. Now for Apple we can’t even have a subscription we have to use gems and I’m not going to keep buying more gems to talk to people from different countries. I hope you guys bring back subscriptions for Apple users
