WeChat

I still can't believe HOW BAD this app registration process is. We failed to register at home, twice, because of a ridiculous "security check". They are asking you to scan your QR code from a chinese person. So we found a chinese person, but it failed, because they are only allowed to do this once per month. So we came to china, needed to get a mainland china phone number including registration of our passport. Found another chinese person to scan that ridiculous qr code, then sending/receiving SMS failed. - This app is a big piece of something. As opposed to claims on some websites, we never needed wechat or wechat pay, could do everything we wanted without it, any person claiming this app is a MUST have for tourists is spreading nonsense in my opinion. I'd rather skip China as a tourist than having to deal with this app. Fortunately, we never missed it.

We used the app for our communication with our business partners in China.
We were pleased with the functionality of the app. But after 6 months or so, our account got blocked out of the blue with no further explanation.
Unblocking the account proved to be impossible after many frustrating attempts.

After contacting Wechat the only thing they give you is a standard reply referring to the same useless 'unblocking procedure' that won't get you any further in solving the problem.

WeChat clearly doesn't give a sh*t whether their users are able to use their app or not.

I have used WeChat daily for four years. I use both versions, WeChat for mobile phone and WeChat for Windows 10 downloaded to my laptop computer. My experience has been that this communications platform is reliable, fast, bug-free. There has been no issue with adding new contacts. Similarly, the deleting of contacts has been a simple process. Approximately 90% of my use is with my laptop computer. I unreservedly recommend this WeChat application.

If you get a Hong Kong phone and try to use WeChat to pay for necessary things like food, taxi, train, the MFs block your account for a measly HK$100. No customer service. Nothing AT ALL! Don't even download this. Go with WhatsApp, Telegram etc etc. It's just a bull$#*! app. Just to see how much of a BS app this is, I bought THREE (3) HK numbers and THREE (3) mainland numbers and they ALL gave me the same f*cking problem! Don't use this app. Tencent should get their act together or perish.

What the hell is the matter with the customer service on this site? I've been writing to customer service for about three months asking why the person that I send a friend request to doesn't get it even though after I type in her number, it says that it was sent successfully. I know that it is the right number that she gave me. I haven't gotten one reply back from customer service. What the F is going on with this site? They don't understand English or are they just so goddamn lazy not to write back? I can see why that website gets terrible reviews. It would be different if they wrote back. Any other members have the same problem as me? Anyone ever hear from the $#*!ty customer service? So pissed off!

GUYS: if you ever use the shake function and you come across a girl name Haggar Griffin, she is the former porn actress named Eva Lovia. Check her out! She is like most of the women on this site, drop dead gorgeous but don't have money and will ask constantly to buy her either Google Play cards or ITune cards. What a whore!

I just installed Wechat on phone & made a new account since I am a new member. The sign in was easy to fill out; however I have to receive a code in order to complete my sign in. Didn't receive a text from Wechat so I click the resend button... no luck so I tried the calling option. It Worked! Wrote down the code & typed it out. BUT NOPE apparently the code that they gave me was incorrect. Pressed the calling option again; typed in the new code & yet again incorrect code... yah I'm done... I prefer skype or facebook msg.
