idiot app ,buffers for no reason ,can't even watch a stream ,what's the point of this app then
I have High end device and still while using this app my device get heat up so much please solve this problem and optimise the app.
not good
unable to follow any channel and also unable to stream my content.
kick is a good platform but the app is near unusable. Galaxy S23, updated. it crashes CONSTANTLY. does not pause when other audio plays. it takes about 10x attempting to cast it to Chromecast. if I already did it that day, I have to force close Kick and clear cache. devs need to fix this. literal garbage mobile platform edit: YES I'm on the latest update. IMMEDIATELY upon downloading, it has never worked right. this is a dev issue. you guys need to do better.
lagging all the time. closes itself out
suddenly app doesn't work on android 12, android 12 is not even that old!!!!
I give this app a big 0. I can't watch my favorite creators that have movies to this app because it constantly freezes up and shuts down. Kick has made my phone start running slow. Im very disappointed in this app. I do not recommend it to anyone
Always updating because of bugs that keep reoccurring. I can never watch a stream without dealing with malfunctions. bad app to watch streams on.
this app needs better updates please bring back the volume bar
bugzzz 🤢🤢🤢
I made New account i've never been on this before. first, It freezes to where it kicks me off the site. then I go to log in only for them to say that my email and password is incorrect when it's not incorrect.So basically I wasted my time with this app and it's not worth it.They don't even give you the option to change the password or fix it.You literally cannot do anything about it.
I'm disappointed with the update of the app they want from to select my gender and my region and I can't choose 😕
keeps crashing now every 5 or so minutes. cache has been cleared. app reinstalled. phone restarted. in every order. still crashing.
Too glitchy. Livestreams jump around.
1 star cause you banned chudthebuilder.
What kinda freaking app is this? Has no actual videos. Searching for anything keeps coming up empty. Is there any actual content on here?
Kick app stops responding error and closes unexpectedly like 10 times a day and this is the only app that does it i have a Red Magic 10 Pro gaming phone which is capable of running big games and YouTube open in the background no problem so please optimise this app for my phone you have no excuse being a Billionaire to have such a badly optimised app hire better people
The app has been kicking me out for no reason.
app keeps crashing on my phone every 15 min it never use to
kick has had a new update and now doesnt work with chromecast......
keeps crashing and lagging my phone since like 4 or 5 updates ago. my phone has never acted up or lagged, but once I get on kick after awhile it starts to crash and phone starts lagging
This app is so bad on android. It won't go 15 minutes without some sort of crash or drop out. It does all sorts of strange things with the picture in picture screen, has floating ghost screens, puts chat and video side by side sometimes when watching in portrait instead of top and bottom. Constantly having to fully close the app and restart to watch things. Junk. In response I have the latest updates always. Also remove the "join chat" from TV app. Are you trying to ruin oled TV's with burn in?
when I go to question two it won't let me tap the select item
Trash app.
unfortunately this app allows a lot of hate and abuse from creators and when you report a live they don't do anything about it the hate and bullying from a creator on here is disgusting and children watch this you been to do more for safety and reports I would not recommend this to anyone I know due to these issues
meat heads ur app on android blows, can't edit my profile and can't even exit the app with out force stopping it from settings.
doesn't work
For the past 3 months completely crashes every 5 minutes, trash fix your app
Doesn't work on Wi-Fi network.. app stops by it's own.. keep on loading for hours on Wi-Fi.. only works on mobile network! wttff is thiss man! will you plzz.. see more on this topic.. I'm not able to see streams because of Wi-Fi connection problem from your side
the picture-in-picture mode cannot resume nor pause. stop giving me the exact same botted feedback over the month please. latest version is 40.14.4
this app collects data and makes it hard to review and deactivate your account, as well as censorship with no merit.
Terrible update, just lost more features, like being able to listen without needing the screen on kick. Disappointing.
L app ever made they need more (nah im jk or maybe im not 1 star
why do kick remove the permission to screen record with internal audio? is this some kind to limits some clipping activity, me as clipper personally disappointed, if this only just bug please fix immediately, if this new rules on app please dont get us in trouble.
The app crashes when watching a stream normally or whenever I switch to another application using Picture in Picture mode. Crashing issues aside, it's a very intuitive app which mirrors rival Livestreaming platforms. If they can fix these issues, I'll update my rating.
Extremely buggy, and choppy, freezes many times.
ypu make it so you can't buy a subscription for yourself on the app but you can gift a subscription. makes no sense.
subscribe button on some but not all creators crashes a lot on picture and picture
The app has much better support for foldable phones (Z Fold 7) as of March 19-great work by the devs. However, there are still issues: the stream player doesn’t fit the screen properly in split‑screen mode and chat messages can’t be copied. Also, please add background audio support (pause & play media notification), chat threads, and whispers (if possible) like the Twitch app.
This app is so bad for people who make millions off getting kids hooked on gambling
having loading issues it is very disappointing 🙂🙏🏻
The app looks nice, and the platform is a good alternative to kick. If their app didn't crash every hour while watching streams, I would fully switch to Kick. Miserable experience, it's only worth watching on desktop.
After the recent update I can't watch any videos that im subscribe to on my phone. I have to use my tablet if I want to watch. you need to fix the recent update SMH
The app has stopped working since their most recent update. I have uninstalled the app and reinstalled it and it keeps telling me to update the app to the newest version! Aside from that, the app is consistently laggy and needs to be fixed. I do not recommend using the app version as the website works much better! Samsung Galaxy S25 ultra
