An editorial reading of the saved reviews

Essential for staying in touch with Chinese relatives and colleagues, but registering without a contact already inside the platform is nearly impossible, and random account bans without explanation damage relationships with diaspora users. Calls and messaging are stable once you have an account.

What people use it for

Chinese people living abroad and their families

What reviews praise

Voice and video calls across borders work reliably and connect families in different countries.

What reviews complain about

Signing up requires scanning a QR code with someone else's account, which makes registration contingent on knowing the right person.

What users experience

3 excerpts from the breakdown. These are individual cases, not a verdict on all users.

To create account dose not suppose to need membership help, is not making any sense 😂 What about those people that want to join and don't have any member close to them?

我已经试过很多次账号无故被封了，也不告诉我原因，只一味的封我的账户是为什么呢，每次被封了之后都需要让好友帮忙解封，但实际上我现在在国外，能联系到的微信好友只有我的家人，但每个人帮我解封的次数都是有限的呀，次数用完了我就没有办法了，我很想知道到底为什么要封我的账号，我什么违法的事情都没有干，每次都这样让我对这个app很失望啊，这是我唯一一个可以与我国内的家人和好友联系的渠道，连这个都被封了的话我真的会疯。。😢

I can't even sign up I don't anybody that uses this app I just need it for my fardriver and it's not letting me sign up cus I have to get it scanned by someone that has the app but literally nobody has it cus this app is straight ahh
