Pure Organised Garbage, What A great program they had. Now it's a gig saw puzzle on the screen.Not even good eye candy A sending Adware with every Upgrade. I Refuse to Run it
Looks like A Bad put together HTML Website Are they trying to create A all for one Site for both PC and Tablet And other devices phone, iPad, Android. I could not believe my eyes when it upgraded into this POS "Please get it out of my site it's Sickening"I find it hard to find words to describe how shocked I was when this so called update drooped down.It's took own the look of Cam Frog another ugly duckling. I would describe it as highly unorganized add generating picture linking nightmare. I would not pay for it now I have in the past RIP Paltakk

0/5 Paltalk fails members because it does not care about cyberbullying or cyberstalking on it's platform. There are current chatters who think this program is excellent merely because they lack education and enjoy watching other chatters who are mentally ill or high on some substance abuse each other on a constant basis. Paltalk has a really bad history if you do an online search - There's been 2 suicides, 1 murder suicide, 4 murders and more - all related to the chat program - Please do yourself a favor and do your own research before joining Paltalk. If there are suicides livestream on this program or people getting murdered, This program can not rate as excellent in fake marketing reviews yet there are people that will turn a blind eye to the hideous things that happen on Paltalk and rate this program a 5/5. Sorry this program is a failure because there has been deaths related to Paltalk. Beware of toxic people on this program ready to attack your person in any way they are able to for their entertainment. Get informed and keep away.

Rubbish Chat/Cam App
January 15, 2018

Ok, I've used this app chatted to hundreds of people on there. I think I am qualified to write a review on this garbage app. Some of the things that come to mind are
1. The chat rooms are run by power hungry narcissist losers that ban/bounce users for no decent reason
2. Many of the users that pay as subscribers are treated with respect whereas free users are generally treated like crap in many rooms
3. The app has a feel like the majority of rooms are run by volunteers that support the app
4. A lot of users don't accept private messages they only want to talk in room which is really odd, some users ban you to chat via pm in a chat room!
5. there are a lot of paedophile type personalities
6. Many of the people on there have limited contact with real people i. E. no real friends, no families, limited education, no job etc.
7. being on there actually makes me feel repulsed and sick from the number of rude people
8. There are many people with serious mental problems, its known that paltalk has even had users commiting suicide on cam with users encouraging it in chat rooms
9. What strikes me is how the name paltalk does not live up to its name in the slightest sense
10. I'm of the opinion that its an app made by losers for losers ie the majority of pal users don't win at anything in life, ie no friends, no sex, no job, no praise in anything in fact many of the people on there only use it to masturbate on cam or to watch others in the act
11. Extremely hard to recommend, your time is better spent elsewhere

Hacking
November 5, 2020

People like miss_natochka actually hack your IP and stalk you round the chatsite and internet.
You go to both paltalk and Ukrainian police and nothing is done about cyber crime.

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

CAREFUL! Cyber bullies, stalkers, probable sex offenders, lurk here. I've been a member since 2005 and its only gotten worse and worse. The Programs Red Hat Administrators are friends with the malicious room owners and insult rooms, they openly allow, real life stalking, death threats, harassment, revenge porn, slander, defamation of character, stalking of pictures of peoples kids to use maliciously on the program. People have been stalked and attacked, people have been bullied and goaded to commit suicide, and there are old newspaper reports of this programs users and members being the cause for several cyber bullying deaths... RED HATS WILL NOT ENFORCE TOS OR STOP PEOPLE FROM COMMITING REAL LIFE CYBER CRIMES AGAISNT YOU, THEY WILL HOWEVER HAPPILY TAKE YOUR MONEY EVEY MONTH TO SEE CAMS... NO TY FOR THE PAYING MEMEBERS THAT HAVE MADE IT A BILLION DOLLAR ENTERPRISE. THE ADMINS ARE FRIENDS WITH THE MALICIOUS ROOM OWNERS and KNOW abotu the Paltalk Scandal revenge porn site, they refuse to protect any of they good chatters but defend the serious criminals and degenerates.

Sad but True, Feel free to see for yourself.

This program is not even deserving of one star. This is where the scum of the scum hang out. You have more hate rooms than regular chat rooms and 2/3 of the regular chat rooms are full of mental defectives. 3 people broadcasted their suicide while in a Paltalk insult room (Hate Room) and Paltalk did absolutely nothing about this and they continue to allow these Insult rooms like "Verbal Abuse Insults" and many others to exist. Corrupt Paltalk admins like Paltalk Admin A (Anne), Medianoche and a few other Administrators have been known to Ban it's users at the request of many of these Insulters who have had a deep long relationship with Paltalk Admin A (Anne) Paltalk has allowed members from these Insult rooms to call peoples family members and their workplaces in an attempt to ruin their lives and getting them fired from their jobs. I have seen objectional webcams from Adult rooms where naked children were seen running around and the parents completely naked while sitting in front of their cameras. There were some users who had actually met in person to fight it out between themselves while broadcasting their fight in their chat room. This program is full of mental defectives and degenerates, and it's definitely not a place for children. The Insult rooms that Paltalk allows to remain active are right full of Predators and degenerates on the lowest scale of degenerates. This program is absolutely evil and full of criminal behavior and will change, dictate and ruin people's lives forever and I encourage anyone who is currently using this program or decides to download this program to stay away from this terrible, trashy program.

Paltalk women are scammers. They refuse to use free apps and messengers. Their phones are stolen. They can never access their emails. Let's use our common sense and keep well clear of this terrible scam! I hope my review helps other men who are searching for a short term or long-term REAL relationship that is based not on money, but on chemistry. The main idea is: avoid phony and utterly useless sites like Paltalk. If a girl refuses to chat elsewhere – 99% that she is a scammer.

Date of experience: April 29, 2025

Overview

Paltalk has a rating of 1.4 stars from 63 reviews, indicating that most customers are generally dissatisfied with their purchases. Reviewers dissatisfied with Paltalk most frequently mention chat rooms, death threats and religious section. Paltalk ranks 191st among Mobile Applications sites.
