unsecure, leaves a lot to be desired, plus signing in is extremely tedious, they expect everyone to have a friend. plus gifs don't work, connection issues are common, translation isn't always correct, etc. thanks for leaving my account vulnerable for three days with personal information on it. you guys are just amazing at it.

Flawed logic and problematic execution led to an underwhelming experience. The WeChat app doesn't use the Android API when a user tries to import media files, thus the app generates a thumbnail image for each photo or video clip stored on the phone. In doing so it takes a lot of unnecessary storage space and slows down the app. Moreover, users have to manually clean the cached data in Android's system settings to free up the space.

WeChat is indispensable for living in China. The chat and calling features are great, as is the widely supported online money transfer system, but video clips are limited to about 10 seconds, making the feature of video sharing mostly useless. My biggest gripe with the app is that it's easy to get locked out and difficult to get back in because you're required to have several friends text a code to WeChat (with no means of contacting them online). The app is also developing a huge bloat problem.
