Chatous - Chat with new people 17+

The app is alright. It servers it’s purpose, talk to somebody random for 15 minutes when you have literally nothing else to do. It would be nicer if the paid features were a one time purchase instead of paying a small amount multiple times, though. The app itself can have framerate issues after extended use, but it doesn’t matter that much since it’s just a texting app really, and the lag is fixed with a restart. The one feature this app could really use is an option to appear offline so other people can’t see if you have it open or not.

I’d complain about the people on the app but that’s not the developers’ fault so.

I’ve used this application for about five (5) years. There has always been a problem with perverted individuals but it wasn’t nearly as bad during my first two (2) years of using it. Met a few cool people on Chatous. But I will say, a lot of the problems other critical reviews mention are there but it can vary in intensity. I can’t recommend anyone to really use this app due to a myriad of reasons: people looking for and/or selling access to some not so family friendly content (illegal content also included into this point) ((first part would be fine if there weren’t any underaged individuals on the application)), having a relatively difficult time finding anyone to talk to in the first place, bots are semi-prevalent, the filter system (for finding someone to talk to) doesn’t always work as intended. I’ve had a okay time with this app but now it’s a complete and utter dumpster fire. Avoid it and look for something better.

NOTE: I would advise most decent and/or impatient human beings to stay away from this application. If you go against my advice, however, I wish you the best of luck in finding a good friend to talk to. Believe it or not there are some good people there, underneath the rotten layer of filth.

I will admit, this app is kind of horrible. It can often be a cesspool of creeps, bots, etc. But, at the same time, you can meet the best people on earth here! I met an amazing friend here, who I deeply love and care for, and who also feels the same for me. But nevertheless, that rare miracle is not enough to negate its many, many short comings. Firstly, the app doesn’t update your profile once you’ve started conversation. There should be more regulations to prevent pervs and creeps from polluting the app. There should also be a feature to send videos, instead of just recording them, and to italicize bold, or cross texts. Also, it’d be amazing if I could see old conversations, they disappear. I hope the developers take some user suggestions, this app has serious potential, but it’s still lacking.
