September 2, 2019

I cant talk but only for the country music section. Alot of the ladys are sweet bunch of the dudes get jealous you cant give true feedback or chat because you might hurt someones feelings people get on their to not have a good time and sing have fun but to talk behind ones back and steal your music and how you play because they cant come up with their own things... however their are some good people and some people have great talent i enjoy listening and talking with folks but alot of the younger dudes get so jealous... like dude just practice you can do it to instead of griping like a child... alot of store bought country folks on their... for the rest of the site idk might be great but im a country music singer and thats were i did go im looking for a better site tho given this one up... thanks for reading GODBLESS

Predatory internet chat provider. The site uses less than honorable tactics to "push" users to purchase their product. While they offer "FREE" use they do not tell you the free use can DAMAGE your PC. They artfully claim they know nothing of this. They do this by selling advertising space on the "FREE" accounts to advertisers that send all types of virus and homepage hijackers, web pop-ups and anything else they can slide through the ads. When a customer does get caught in the nest of ad viruses and such and complains to Paltalk, they simply claim they have no control and to stop this you should simply purchase a paid account to stop the ads. Another issue is that in 2 instances the same advertisers have accessed Paltalk's servers and financial information and billed my bank account for bogus charges and products. Paltalk of course swears they had nothing to do with this but it is their advertiser and always seemed to happen at the same time they billed for a product. When these occurrences happen Paltalk also mysteriously has to shut down for "server maintenance" or some other bogus reason. In short they have to figure out how to get the advertisers out of their servers... BEWARE while this service can work fine it will only be a matter of time before they are targeted by professional hackers and true damage besides, annoying viruses etc, are passed to the end user.

What is Paltalk's intention. Actually the classic version is a version that many people like and is most beautiful to use

Their rooms are better than zoom because there is no time limit. Easy to use and does not appear to be any charge unless I do the upgrades

This company allows hackers to destroy their rooms and my experience. I paid for a gold name and I cannot now use it. The NYC District of Companies needs to investigate this sham company. Complain to NYC.Gov

Nasty Bullies
January 1, 2019

If you are new, don't even bother using the mic, especially if you are a female because as soon as you start getting along with some of the male chatters, some old hillbilly woman will shout you down. I went to the Trump and it's dominated by a hillbilly woman. No one in there is even talking about politics. So I went to Lord Voo's room where it's both conservative and liberal, and Lord Voo just takes up the mic half the time and bashes white people. And again, if you're new, don't even use the mic. These grown adults act like high schoolers and bully anyone who is new. They never leave the rooms either except for when they sleep. Oh, and any of the European rooms hardly have any real Europeans in them.

SCAM DOWNLOAD
May 31, 2019

It attached itself to another website and downloaded automatically! Then spammed me with awful people that I have 0---ZERO interest in talking to. Stick with Twitter. At least, you know what you're getting. And beware of downloading anything from Manycam--- that is how this was attached to my download. This is a really undesirable program.

Not a good chat room to use. The site is full of the lowest of the low in society. I consider it an evil chat site and would recommend any decent people to stay away.

In the HUMAN RIGHTS section of Paltalk - there are many TOS violations occurring and red admin are not paying attention. Death threats by chatters. Admins are abusing their power by targeting chatters they dislike and harassing chatters and cyberbullying them. If that's not enough someone has created a room called Java718 is a pedophile. How much longer is Paltalk going promote their chat client by selling shares, having fake reviews giving Paltalk 5/5, as well as false room numbers most rooms in the Social issues section, Religious section say they have over 6000 followers in rooms when there is very few active chatters and less than 30 people in the room. Mostly bots, lurkers and duplicated nicknames by chatters being on more than 1 device or being in more than 1 room at a time. Red Admins in Paltalk are useless - How is it possible that Paltalk allows a chatter to create a room calling another chatter a pedophile?

I was dating a guy in an LDR for 12 yrs, he sent me pics and we had them on my profile, as he wasn't to keen on getting pics on at the time. Well I caught him cheating in a hidden nic and found out he had been for over a year, lying to me as well. I dumped him, blocked him, but he was allowed to make as many new nics he could to send me mean messages. I kept the pics up and moved to a new nic, and his new girlfriend reported me. I got banned. I told them the pics were mine. It was her that reported me not him. I lost my account, that's fine. I reported him for stalking me and telling women to attack me, they did nothing.

I been on pal for over 6 months, got banned from help room because red admins couldn't deal with the problem, 2 of them which gang up on me. They even told me to uninstall after I had paid for a year. They have a lot of server issues and for the price, I suggest looking else where.
I am unable to find there official complaints procedure to complain about the red admins so I will have to write to the company in hopes they deal with this problem.
I will leave this review and hope it helps in choosing a chat client
Sometimes it's better to not know what you missing...

VolunteersMost users in paltalk are losers who have no job, no family, and no education. The interesting part is that this website is running by volunteers. Imagine a social media website is running by guys who have failed in their life. So
If you want to lose your wife, join paltalk,
If you want to lose your owner, join paltalk, but
If you are a loser, join paltalk ASAP.

BUYER beware, although Paltalk says it monitors cyberbullying it 100% fails to do so. This chat client allows continual cyberbullying by admin and toxic chatters with substance abuse issues join in. It has become a sad environment where continual attacks occur. The religious section of Paltalk is continually inciting bullying by admins. The rooms which is suppose to be a religious debate room are very scary, because in the majority of the religious rooms chatters attack each other as if it was a verbal abuse section. There are drunks and drug addicts on mic making up stories about people. Admins in this room are in their 60s they spend their time posting trolling statements and dotting and bouncing anyone they don't like without good reason. If you are a friend of an admin you can insult, attack and be toxic without any consequences. Although this room shows there is 50 people in the room. There are about 10 people active and of those 10 people maybe 3 people are sober. Paltalk promised to monitor cyberbullying and this room was ban for a long time but they have allowed it to operate again and the way people act out on each other is disgusting and inhumane. KEEP OUT OF PALTALK UNTIL they monitor cyberbully as they promised to do so.

Wost chat cam app I've ever used. Fake profiles, chat rooms with drone accounts that never chat, rude old hillbillies everywhere, ugly old perverts everywhere, not to mention tossers, admins who ban you for no reason, ive even seen terrorist inducting room a few times in there, list could go on forever, hardly anyone is really friends at all in there. It's basically a social network of losers.

Rubbish app!

Just because people are behind a computer monitor typing is no reason to be rude to people. I spent five minutes on PalTalk, that was more than enough for me. Rude people rule there!
