“Avoid at all costs”

Oh my goodness gracious this unholy website should be wiped off the face of the Earth. This website is the home of many predators, criminals, rude people, very old people, creeps, fetishists, scammers, and even bots all waiting to steal any valuable information you have. Once, I pretended to be a CHILD on this website to see how much predators I could catch in a DAY. I caught SO MUCH I can't even remember how much I caught, which tells you how dark this site really is. And even the predators just scratch the surface of the iceberg because there are deeper and more disturbing things I have seen people talk about and do which they have no fear telling you and then stupidly explaining why "it's not wrong" which is extremely disturbing and stupid behaviour. You can rarely have any FRIENDLY conversations on the site because there are so many perverts just wanting pictures and social medias of you and nothing else. They don't even want to get to know you or anything, so don't expect to make real friendships or relationships on this website if that is what you are looking for. This website is also terribly broken and has server errors every 5 minutes and the host isn't even working properly. These developers don't listen to you nor anyone's complaints so don't even try with them because I doubt they will do anything about their users and sloppily made website. The developers should also be ashamed of themselves and be sent to jail for so many red flags. How embarrassing. Please avoid this website if you know what is good for you... Also, I have the pictures of all the predators I have caught. I am not blurring out any of their names, in fact, I will put BOLD RED SQUARES around their usernames so people would figure out who some these weirdos are and block and report them to the right people. I hope they truly go to jail someday. Overall, terrible website. I am done ranting

I used the free service for dating and found nothing but scammers and panhandlers. Lots of fake users and dead end relationships.

This site is nothing but pedophiles and scammers of all sorts…And, the worst offenders are the moderators. Tons of out in the open pedophile names, people who have "Under age" in their screen name… phone card scams, streaming scams…The moderators will even use your information to hack into your own personal account.

There is no "chat" going on at this site… FBI, shut this place down.

This entire site fully supports pedos, sex offenders, harassment, illegal behavior. If u report any of these things the site, its creator, and it's employees do NOTHING. But we the "grown men" get rejected they throw a tantrum and u get banned immediately. This site, it's creator, and it's employees should be shut down and charged for all the illegal things associated with this site. God forbid u try to log in for a normal conversation bc all u do is immediately have people saying the most stuff to you.

Freechatiw us and uk has 90% scammers working the same or similar scam. Many pretend to be females search for men to meet. Then when the haul u in they ask for money such as to cover gas for car journeys or steam card to keep their child happy while they entertain u. Scam is they always want these up front prior to meeting u. Basically to extort u from your hard earn cash with no real reason to meet u. Most these scammers come from Nigeria and US. Beware dont fool for anyone who's asks u for any kind of payment up front

There is always men looking for "fun" no matter where you go. That doesnt mean you have to look for "fun" to chat on chatiw. I only have platonic chats, and I let the perves know, or I tell them "luck in your search".
Some like to use it as a dating site, I use it as a chat site. Yes with free sites, there is issues, you want no issue create your own free site. There are always scammers, to avoid them stay on the same site you met them, don't give out personal information. It is an anonymous chat site, and if you need to be anonymous you can find people on there who are the same, but people don't want what they fit.
Yes there are guy always asking for pics, you don't have to send just tell them no. You don't have to view their pics, I don't.
Men if you want to know how women are treated in life by men and what men think of women, log in as a female, you don't need to reply to the guys just read what they say, remember it isnt all men. No one can see you, no one will know who you are, don't be scared guys give it a try.
Women you can do the same, and see how long it takes to a man to receive a reply from a female.
Married females will have a great time, more so the females who are in a rut in their marriage, it will remind you what is out there and may cause you to appreciate the man you have.
Like all chats sites, dating sites, social sites, there is always men trying to use them for "fun". That is life, it is the same offline.
You meet someone face to face they make a "fun" offer, or you exchange numbers and they make a "fun" offer on the phone, or you go out on a date and they make that "fun" offer. Online is the same as offline meetings, for females and males. What you find in real life is the same as you find online, except more to go through.

It's flooded with predators, child groomers, abuse-lovers and other cybercriminals. Most of them are fake profiles.

For the gullible and sadistic few.

How this site has the nerve to class itself as a chat site I'll never know! A) it takes forever to load, or doesn't load at all B) it's impossible to have a chat conversation here because it's so slow, and messages you send just disappear from the screen.
All in all a car crash of a site, don't bother!

Site full of fake profiles and Bots, also men pretending to be women. Men must outnumber the genuine women 30 to 1. Complete waste of time, loads of sicko names inferring pdo and rape and incest. It really is terrible. Also full of sad married men. It constantly logs you out and bombards you with scam bot messages. Avoid.

I'v done nothing wrong on the site. I've been polite and not abusive or rude. But it's banned me for the third time this week for 48 hours. I think it's something to do with sending messages too quickly as a caution against scammers. But that's a bit rich as the site hosts scammers posing as women. I had 27 messages from them in 15 minutes one evening. Also, click on 'chat history' and it will lock out for over a minute. Many people can't load images as it asks for points. More fool them if they pay. Also, beware of the awful, clunky beta version.

Without a doubt the most frustrating, aggravating and broken app on the web. How can anyone carry on a conversation with a junky app that constantly needs refreshed and ends up booting you off?
Your garbage should be banned forever IMHO!

Once again while I was enjoying some clean conversations, the monitor broke into my chat and cut me off from those I was talking to. Mind you, there are planet ads from children stating they are under age, and there are many who advertise various sex sites, however I know the monitors do nothing to block them because the same user names appear time after time. Amongst all the trash there are a few diamonds, however the monitors are destroying this site.

Tip for consumers:
Use a different site. Chatiw is a waste of your time.

There seems to be a lot of closed-minded negitive woman posting reviews but if you're looking for a chat or a bit of fun its perfect. I got the app because real people suck and i am having a blast to be honest these apps are not for people looking for a relationship. To do that you have to go outside. Lol

I think they're using a vintage second hand Amstrad for their server. It freezes every thirty seconds for minutes at a time. It's impossible to have a flowing chat. You'll spend most of your time browsing YouTube to keep you amused whilst you wait for it to unfreeze. It's awful. They also ban you for no apparent reason.

Tip for consumers:
Beware of sending them money for a subscription, you'll regret it.

This British women is an anti-vaxxer who promotes conspiracy theories on her cringe inducing Twitter account called Tess Summers 98. She has some kind of dubious agreement with the criminal gangs who own this chat site and she creates numerous aliases both male and female to satisfy her depraved sexual appetites and also to exchange illegal beaches of personal information about unsuspecting members of the public she has taken a dislike toward, with thuggish ex military types, drug dealers from Manchester and corrupt local landlords and lettings agencies. She is utterly corrupt yet still ironically she calls great philanthropists such as Bill Gates corrupt.

Absolutely worst type of man possible on this site. 95% are married. 95% are looking for lewd chat. 99.9% are very unattractive physically, semi illiterate, unintelligent and very, very dull to interact with.

The monitors are completely out of control. Anyone who wants to have a decent chat and blocks the sponsored paid sex ads becomes automatically targeted and banned. The police should shut this site down. They allow the dating site Ashley Madison--a site that encourages married people to cheat on their spouses--to advertise on their site. This really says it all. Inane supervision, banning of legitimate people. However 14 year olds are allowed free access.
