The bot epidemic on this app has literally ruined it. It's impossible to enjoy the app with so many bots and it seems like there's no way to escape them and that nothing is being done. Not to mention that now when you get a message it just says "New Kik message" instead of displaying the actual message. This should be an optional feature, not a default one.

The reason I gave the app two stars is because I am getting notifications of messages from people I have blocked! I blocked them, therefore I don't want to know anything about them anymore! Yet I still get notifications in the background whenever a blocked person sends me a message, and I can read the message. Also, I am not a fan of having to press and hold the button while recording a live video. I would like to send live videos without the need to continuously press the button. PLZ Fix.

Really good app, way over populated with robots. At least half, if not more of its total users are bots. This gets annoying and frustrating. Kik should consider a full redo, delete everything and restart. That or have some kind of monthly user capta check to make sure users are real. Besides that, another issue I have is the app itself grows it's storage at a huge rate. Within 2 to 3 weeks of usage, the app will consume up to 3/4 GB of space. The only option is to clear the cache repeatedly.
