Houseparty for Negative User Reviews
✓ I am not happy☹️☹️☹️I got this cause all my friends have it and they told me to get it so we could add each other on it, for the first month it was super cool and I was having lots of fun with it, then something happens. Someone had hacked me and took all the private information off my phone!!!! I did manage to get it back and we made sure that the hacker didn't actually look at anything he took which was VERY lucky. The developer needs to create some sort of security because after this I have always said to all my friends Houseparty is not a very trusted app. If you have private information on your phone go ahead you can get Houseparty but if your like me with private stuff on your phone I would not really get it just for your own safety but it is your choice..Version: 1.41.1
✓ Don’t downloadOr dont use your email. They hack spotify..Version: 1.34.6
✓ HackingI read download the app they hack your account and it has happened to michos.Version: 1.40.4
✓ It’s good but...It’s a good app but there are some bugs with the app.I don’t always get a notification when I’m sent a text or a face mail it also gets very laggy when you have more then 3 or 2 people.I like the app it could use some touch ups like being able to delete messages and stuff like that but I do like the app would recommend if you do not have insta or anything like that.Version: 1.43.5
✓ So many notificationsI get so many bloody notifications about people I know joining Houseparty. This is not them opening up the app, this is them joining. I get like 20+ notifications a day.Version: 1.40.2
✓ Do NOT download this appDownloaded this app and within a week I’ve received multiple notifications for suspicious activity on my accounts..Version: 1.40.2
✓ NEEDS A LOAD OF WORKIt works but you have to pay for loads of the heads up games and there are no instructions on how to play most of the games and when I play with my friends the connection is terrible but it’s a good idea for people without Apple phones but if you don’t have an Apple phone then just get WhatsApp and FaceTime through there it’s so much better. And I have mine on private mode where apparently my room is permanently locked yet I can still unlock it and when others join it unlocks and even when I didn’t have private mode on it unlocks itself. A SUPER annoying thing is u can Houseparty anyone who has it that’s not ok. And it keeps suggesting people I’ve never heard of and don’t know again not ok. And it doesn’t say this person wants to Houseparty with you they just get added and I was added to a friends Houseparty before and I knew no one else on there and couldn’t leave. I was House parting some family and my brothers friends joined when we where in a locked room and there was no way to get rid of them this app needs a lot of work..Version: 1.43.5
✓ Try and change your passwordWhat’s the antonym of user friendly you might ask? This app.Version: 1.40.2
✓ It’s okay but a little glitchyMe and my best friend have had this app for about a year and since we have different types of phone it’s a good substitution for facetime. however on my phone sometimes the screen will glitch green and my friend says that she can see it to but i’m the only on it happens to. also we have had such a hard time being able to get on to the app and joining each other. it would always say reconnecting and then never work. or other times we have perfectly fine wii and it starts glitching out. the other day i was practicing cheer tryouts with one of my friends and her volume was SUPER delayed. we both had perfectly fine wifi it just was such a pain we tried reconnecting but the same thing happened. before houseparty starts making all of these update they have to focus on all of the issues the app already has..Version: 1.43.1
✓ Data whoring cuntsSjsjsj.Version: 1.34.6
✓ Has the potential to be a great appI want to make this short but sweet, this app has FANTASTIC potential.. if the developers listen to the consumers and act fast then there’s definitely a longer use for this app past the global isolation we’re all using to entertain ourselves during. Pros Fun app Great to connect with others & meet new people Easy to use interface Provides hours of entertainment Cons The notifications “**** is in the house!” - we don’t need or want to see this every single time someone comes on, it’s unnecessary! The connection is just terrible and unusable once you get 2-3 on the chat, having a ‘full house’ is just pointless, you can’t hear people because everyone is lagging, you can see them as the visual connection doesn’t work. Lack of games - perhaps add some more, naughts and crosses would be simple and nice. If the developers act on this - common set of opinions - I’m sure this app will last for a long time, and I really hope it does, but for now I’m going to stay off it, and delete it, I just can’t deal with the consistent lagging and audio cuts when there are more than 3 people in the chat.Version: 1.34.1
✓ This app resulted in my other accounts being hackedThey need to really work on their privacy policy. I am getting scam emails and my other accounts are being hacked.Version: 1.34.6
✓ Connection issuesActually want to rate this 5 stars however we are experiencing major connection issues in NZ If you could work on this ASAP that would be fantastic!! 😊❤️.Version: 1.34.1
✓ NoJust no... you want to know what happened to me ye. well i was just getting use to the app checking it out looking around at all the different features adding some of my friends when next thing you know one of them was on my screen it scared me that much that my heart left my body took a lap around my room and came back. i had to male a smooth recovery and stay on call. i wasn't really that food of friends with this person at this point so i was shocked! then random people i did not know of started joining and they were a lot older than i am! not wanting to see people that are like mid age goodness me. WHY THOUGH why can people just call you and without even answering you are on call no don't like never will. i've also heard a lot of rumors that it hacks you so i deleted my account i could be wrong but for safe keeping a. let's jus say it's a big fat no from me i will be sticking to normal facetime as you can group call on there! for all you who enjoy this app... happy communication? 🦠.Version: 1.45.1
✓ Hacked!My account was hacked into. Do not download and if you have already downloaded then remember to DELETE your account before deactivating. It’s all over the internet about how this app hacks you. Literally, just search “houseparty hacking”.Version: 1.34.6
✓ Unwanted Spam Numbers Contacting MeWithin 1/2 hour of creating an account with my phone number, I started receiving spam sms messages from random gmail addresses. I have had this number for over a year, no problems. I have received about 9 different messages from hacked accounts. Privacy protection, HA! What a joke. I do not recommend this app..Version: 1.55.0
✓ Fix the privacy.This would be a great app during isolation if it didn’t give out your personal information😤 I’ve had attempted account hacks on other social media platforms since downloading this app. I’ve never had that issue before it. I’ve since changed passwords, changed the app permissions and deleted altogether. Will not be using✌🏼.Version: 1.34.6
✓ Big fan of the app but a slight issue aroseBig fan of the app as I am able to reconnect with friends and family I haven’t spoken to in a long time. All the games are also a big plus. Issue: There should be a choice to be able to either be accepted or denied in joining a chat, rather than automatically being put into one when someone randomly decides they want to join you. I have friends that had joined into a chat no one knew them in except for me and it just made things uncomfortable, especially when it happened mid game. People could also be in the middle of a personal conversation and a random friend or family member could just join in and make things weird. If possible, maybe a choice to be able to kick someone out of the group chat would be helpful. Or maybe being able to ghost yourself while on the app..Version: 1.34.1
✓ It’s good but very glitchyI love houseparty and everything about it but I just had a severe glitch and tried everything to fix it. I was talking with my friend and all of a sudden it says we are not in the same room but we were. So we tried leaving and joining again. But then it said try joining again because there was a problem, this happened many times and got very annoying. I was so frustrated and so was my friend. I even tried turning off my phone and turning it back on and it still didn’t work. I tried getting off my WiFi and going on cellular data and it still didn’t work. So we just stoped trying and we are gonna try again later. My houseparty is fully up to date so that is not the problem. I don’t know what is. Please fix it because it makes me want to delete the app and just Group FaceTime..Version: 1.33.1
✓ Hackers through serverI know Houseparty have denied claims about being hacked but I believe hackers are using the apps server to access our accounts. My friends and I have experienced people trying to access our mygov and Australia post accounts since downloading it. And many other people are experiencing this with Netflix, bank and other accounts Please fix this issue and increase your security because this is such a wonderful way to connect with people and clearly these things aren't just happening as a coincidence.Version: 1.34.5
✓ Please FixWhile this is a great app, there are some issues that have yet to be fixed. first of all, it constantly kicks people out of the app. that can get annoying when you are trying to have a conversation with someone and it does this several times throughout. Another being that the audio is sometimes awful to the point where you cannot hear what the person is saying. It cuts out at random points throughout and it gets hard to understand. It also takes a long time to load. I am currently trying to use the app and it refuses to load. It has nothing to do with my connection as this happens no matter where I am or what wifi I am using. The app gets updated a lot but it doesn't seem to actually be fixing anything. I would love to give this app a five star review but because there’s so many bugs I can’t. I make sure to always update the app when updates are available, but nothing seems to change or improve..Version: 1.6.0
✓ Won’t let me not have a phone numberI don’t have a phone number and I want to get house party to communicate with my family and friends during the quarantine but house party will not let me not put in a phone number. Usually other apps will have an email option but sadly house party doesn’t. I really want house party but I can’t get it and I feel like other people will be suffering from this bug as well. Please solve this issue as it is the only reason I have not got this app..Version: 1.40.4
✓ No iPadDoesn’t work on tablet. Says it needs to txt you verification code. Never texts a code..Version: 1.40.3
✓ Incorrect password.I have been trying to delete my house party account but it keeps telling me incorrect password. I have reset the password and logged back in (so I know the password is correct) but again have been given the same response when trying to delete my account..Version: 1.34.1
✓ Needs your phone numberDeleted app once I saw the phone number grab..Version: 1.34.6
✓ It’s goodThe idea of this is super cool and it’s a great app not very laggy but got some cool features that other apps don’t have. My problem with it is that i can’t get into my account because the email won’t send forgot password and I cannot reset my password. I know my email is correct and I have never gotten an email from them about my password. Otherwise it’s a great app, would recommend..Version: 1.13.0
✓ Fun app, but lagsMy friends and I were mid playing last night at around 12 am when the app crashed. It started to lag on all ends and we couldn’t even try to video chat with each other because we weren’t showing up on our personal friend list even though we were all waiting for each other the whole time. It wasn’t loading. My friend uninstalled and reinstalled and no changes happened. It started to work 30-40 minutes later. We were all annoyed and wondering what was happening. Also, in the games, cards and words constantly repeat which looses excitement in the game. We all kept saying “wait! We just did this!” And as for the Karaoke Night, they were all older songs that majority barely knew. We were expecting more current songs from 90s - current times. It seemed to be opposite. This game is definitely bringing people together especially during this quarantine, but it definitely needs some improvement. I was trying to find the “help” section to see what I can do, but couldn’t. Let time heal itself..Version: 1.34.1
✓ TimingIt’s slow and it keeps cutting out on me.Version: 1.40.3
✓ Got rid of streaks!!! 🥺I love houseparty, i’ve always used it to chat with my friends. It’s funny when we all play the games🤣However sometimes we end up having to use facetime instead because of the poor quality and connection. When we have bad wifi, we switch our data on and sometimes the quality is still bad. Also, me and my boyfriend have been using houseparty for quite a while, and we had a 30,000 minute streak (500 hours = 21 days!) and they got rid of it without warning😢we didnt even get a screenshot for the memories. I made a new account because i had too many unwanted friends so now i can never get my streak back because we never got any warning :(.Version: 1.34.6
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOADI’ve seen lots of hacking reviews, but chose to ignore them until my friend messaged me saying her mum lost £600! At first I thought it was a coincidence but my other friend herself actually lost money from her account. Luckily the bank refunded the money but this won’t happen for everyone. When I tried to delete my account it said incorrect password, but I know for a fact it was right. It also says that they don’t have access to email and stuff but honestly that’s not that believable considering the circumstances. Luckily my password was saved into apple so I used Touch ID and then I deleted it. Do not download, unless your super rich and don’t care about money. Rate this 1 star because if an app has enough 1 star ratings it gets deleted..Version: 1.41.1
✓ Pretty badIt’s alright when it works but it doesn’t even come close to comparing to Zoom, Duo, FaceTime, etc. with AirPods, the latency is so bad that you would hear a response until at least 2 full seconds have passed. the quality leaves much to be desired. the was frequent feedback on the call, meaning that it has issues with noise-cancellation (which other video calling apps have no issues with). it’s inefficient and drains my battery like no other. the video quality honestly was pretty good but the voice quality was subpar. an hour into the call we got kicked and couldn’t join each other again. we spent 30mins trying to call them and them calling me and we’d select “join” but our efforts were futile because it never worked. eventually we just gave up. not to sound like a Karen with the hard R but i’m so disappointed in this app. i ended up deleting it after the first use. also, part of me thinks that privacy isn’t at all a concern of theirs (i should read the privacy policy yes i know) so i’m even afraid that having the app installed is going to lead to me getting hacked and locked out of my accounts.Version: 1.40.3
✓ This app is really good BUTEvery time i want to share my screen, after a few seconds the call ends and a message pops up saying ‘live broadcasting has stopped: due to house party needs to be running to broadcast your screen’. really annoying, please fix :(.Version: 1.34.1
✓ Télécharger passs!!Cette app pirate vos cells je me suis fait hacker mes notes avec toute mes codes dedans deux de mes amies se sont fait enlever la somme de 260$ dans leurs compte accose de cette app NE TÉLÉCHARGER PASSSS!!.Version: 1.34.6
✓ FunIt’s a fun way to keep in touch with our friends.Version: 1.5.2
✓ Good but it can hack youI was wondering if Houseparty tells the truth so I searched it up. Then it didn’t tell me but it said the creators turned evil! So I wanted to delete it but my friends didn’t know .so I didn’t please be careful and not tell very important information that is also private..Version: 1.57.0
✓ You have a problem.... 😣I have been using and enjoying house party for a while now since we have been on lockdown due to Covid-19 but there has been many rumours spread that the app has been hacked. One of the rumours was that a hacker managed to enter someone’s account and use their bank details to steal £500 pounds. Another is that a hacker is entering random chats and showing explicit content. I don’t really believe in this, but everyone is. All of my family and friends have deleted the app and logged out of their accounts because of these accusations. I have now deleted the app as I can’t talk to my relatives as they no longer want to be on the app. You have a big problem here and your company is at risk. Thankyou for reading this message and I hope you consider making some changes..Version: 1.34.5
✓ Too many updatesI like the app but for heavens sake stop with all the updates every week. Seems like I’m having to learn how to use it every time I turn it on because it keeps changing with every update!!! Please pump the brakes in the updates already!!!!.Version: 1.40.3
✓ Dear everyone reading thisHouseparty is a scam so DELETE IT ASAP It has hacked into my sisters friends accounts and have stolen cash past $700. You must delete this app as soon as you read it. P.s delete your account because that is how they get into your account..Version: 1.34.5
✓ HackedHacked, don’t use.Version: 1.40.0
✓ No privacyMy friends’ list show to everyone and I cannot hide it..Version: 1.40.3
✓ DON’T DOWNLOAD IT PLEASE!A few days after downloading it, my gmail got hacked from someone in Middle East. After that my instagram was hacked from someone in New York. I found it weird but didn’t knew it was because of this app. Later on, I saw a few of my friends posting tweets about how people got hacked like me and that HP is unsafe for anything else on your phone and that absolutely true. I’m warning you, it’s not worth it and FaceTime basically does the same..Version: 1.34.5
✓ I mean#1. It’s not the worst but it’s not the best. I like that I can face time my only 2 friends at one time, but one time I went to the bathroom and I went to lay back down. I looked at my phone and saw that I was on Houseparty with my friend. Please make it that if your friend wants to talk to you, you have to click like an answer button or something. I could have been doing something else when this happened!! #2. I was reading a review and it said that Houseparty helped the reviewer and his/her loved one be together for the loved ones last breath. Now this is the review that got it up to 3 stars! But then when I read the developers response, I was shocked! He/She said “This review was very heartwarming. How can we get it up to 5 stars!!!!! I mean I know you wan your app to have 5 star reviews from everyone but that’s not gonna happen my friend!!!! This knocked it down to 1 star........ unbelievable.......Version: 1.13.1
✓ A GLITCHI got Houseparty to talk to my many friends at the same time because some didn’t have an Apple device. It worked for all of them perfectly fine (i think),but it had an annoying glitch for me. Whenever I went in a chat room or just called one person, it had some kind of echo that wouldn’t allow me to hear my friend(s) in the chat room. I have two electronic devices. An Ipod and an Ipad. I downloaded this app on both devices just in case my ipod died viceversa. But this glitch was effective to BOTH MY DEVICES. At that point, I gave up. I thought it was my wifi or something else. I tried going in EVERY SINGLE ROOM IN MY HOUSE. Still didn’t work. So I decided to use a different app to talk to my friends. This app is WONDERFUL and it has connected many people who live far away from each other, but it just didn’t work for me. I would LOVE to use this app again, but my electronics or the app won’t permit me with that glitch. This is the ONLY reason why I gave this a 3-star review. - A Friendly Reviewer 🤗.Version: 1.30.0
✓ Enjoyed it but it needs some updatesI really enjoy the concept of the app, I think it is a great tool to have especially with this new pandemic and even for future use when you and your friends just want to have a virtual games night. However, I believe there is a major issue with the connectivity on the app, it is often extremely slow or has poor video and audio quality and wifi reception. Even for people who have pretty strong wifi signal that works well on other apps it seems to have an issue. It gets even slower when playing games together especially if it’s more than 5 people. So I do believe they need to work out some technicalities there in order to improve the video and audio quality and wifi reception of the app as well as the speed. I love it and just wish these things could be fixed so that we can have a better experience. Something to note for the future too is adding more games, I love the existing ones but more would be nice in the future..Version: 1.43.1
✓ The Lag is RealGenuinely a great app however the lag is crazy. I would be playing a game of trivia and the lag would be going on and the app would tell me that my “connection is poor” and that my mic isn’t working. Most of the time I can’t see the people I’m FaceTiming because they are either lagging or I am. The number of times I’ve had to restart my phone and my wifi box because I thought I had a problem. Fix the software and control the lag please. Love the app and the games though! I don’t have connections issues and my wifi isn’t slow btw I’m not quite sure how I’m lagging so much and why I’m not able to see or hear the people I’m calling..Version: 1.34.1
✓ Great app but needs bug fixesI love the idea of this, but every chat I’ve had is very glitchy. The sounds and video cut out frequently and it’s really frustrating. Please fix these so I can enjoy it more!.Version: 1.34.1
✓ SnapchatThis app was great till I couldn’t send snaps! So i looked at the reviews and accounts getting hacked and stuff! So I remove my Snapchat from the app and deleted it! Now my Snapchat working again. DO NOT connect through Snapchat, Facebook or any account you don’t want hacked!.Version: 1.34.6
✓ HACKSomeone I know got their bank account hacked with this app. Over 800$. Be careful..Version: 1.34.6
✓ DONT INSTALL THIS APPThis app will hack your email address and your bank accounts, social media accounts, even send random texts from your phone.. Do not install this app or sign up and if you have delete your account and uninstall ASAP!!!! I knew it was fishy when I literally couldn’t disable location always being on but so many people are having money taken from their accounts and so many more dodgy things because of this app! App Store please remove it before more people fall victim!.Version: 1.34.5
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE APPThey are sending e-mails threatening to steal personal information and to post “pornographic” images and charging $ 1900 to delete. email is written very well and looks very real. DELETE THE APP. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE APP!!!!.Version: 1.40.1
✓ Hard to useI constantly get notifications saying people have joined and made an account but when I go to search from them they don’t exist, not a very user friendly app either..Version: 1.34.6
✓ Not happyI loved houseparty- it’s such a fun app to use and talk to friends on especially in quarantine. However for the past week house party keeps freezing. I’ll be on a call and my phone will just freeze and not let me click anything (this only happens when I’m in house party), houseparty also won’t let me check my messages on houseparty- and every time I try click it freezes and glitches- same with when I swipe up to see who’s in a room or when I literally click ANY button on that app. I can’t be on it for LITERALLY more than 3 minutes without it glitching!! I have deleted and reinstalled this app NUMEROUS times for it to continue on doing the same thing- I am considering making a new account but I have HUNDEREDS of friends on houseparty already and it would be such a waste of time trying to make a new one..Version: 1.45.0
✓ 3 starsI like the app, and I also think the concept is great and all, But sometimes, the quality of video in the app is somewhat annoying. Great app though! There could be improvements, and if the scale was 0-10, It would definitely be a 8.5 without this issue ~🧡.Version: 1.34.1
✓ NopeIt won’t let me delete my account. Even if I reset my password, it doesn’t work. I sent a mail, but I’m pretty sure I won’t get any answer to this problem. Be careful, I wouldn’t recommend this app..Version: 1.34.6
✓ HouseParty FeedbackDear the creators of HouseParty, I don’t know if I should download this app because loads of people are claiming they are getting hacked because of this app. Other than that I have had this app for a day and it is really good. Also it is a little bit slow including freezing and not hearing people properly. But I do like that you can message your friends and send face mails with it. Thank you for making this wonderful app although it does have some downs to it, it is rather good. Also my nearly my whole family downloaded it and I’m telling them to delete it because I’m not quite sure on this app being hacked thank you, if you can reply that would be great thanks..Version: 1.34.5
✓ Way to laggyTo laggy.Version: 1.40.2
✓ Signing inI love Houseparty and how it’s so easy to talk to your friends, message them, play games and so on. I have the extension on Chrome which I use frequently, and to sign in for that I had to reset my password. It worked, but only after trying to get an email about 10 times. Now I want to sign in on my phone, but I don’t know my password since it’s on my computer. I have tried to reset it but the email hasn’t come through after 3 tries. I am getting annoyed with this because I just want to use it on my phone. Overall I recommend Houseparty but if you forget your password it’s gonna be a long time till you can actually reset it..Version: 1.41.0
✓ DONT GET ITMy mum and i have heard from our friends that their accounts have been hacked and bot being able to get them back, my mum and i decided we would delete our accounts and delete the app, it worked for me but the app was saying my mother had put in the wrong password, we tested to see if it was the right one, and it was and now she cant delete her account..Version: 1.34.5
✓ Bad connectionAmazing app, have had a lot of fun using it however it keeps crashing and it’s very frustrating!! Please fix this!.Version: 1.34.1
✓ Don’t download this appIt’s a cool app until they hacked your Spotify account. Me and my friends used this app for 2 weeks and all of us had our Spotify account hacked. Don’t download it..Version: 1.40.2
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOAD THISThese little brats didn’t think we would know but they have been hacking all of our account when i first downloaded this i went straight to comments and i saw all the warnings so then i immediately deleted this app but whoever downloaded this delete this IMMEDIATELY unless you want to get hacked also FaceTime and messages technically do the same thing :/ It also steals your personal info from you i think once it contacts your info it knows your account and then it will probably know your other accounts. House party stop pointing fingers! Delete your game! FESS UP gosh. SO HP IF YOU DONT FESS UP SOONER OR LATER YOU’LL GET TAKEN DOWN BYE EVERYBODY WHO KNOWS YOUR LITTLE TRICKS AND SOON EVERYONE WILL KNOW THAT YOU HAVE BEEN HACKING PEOPLE AND YOU WILL GET BANNED.Version: 1.51.0
✓ It’s okI have been using house party for a while now and loved it until I later found that I was banned for no reason that I could think of. I noticed this one day while I was having issues trying to login. I then took the next step to contact their support team to see if it was a connection issue or if there was another reason as to why I wasn’t able to login. While going about contacting their support team nobody could give me a reason as to why my account was banned. Definitely bizarre. I think they need to fix this issue and warn their users that they were banned as well as what they were banned for. This app was definitely fun and useful to use while in quarantine but after I was banned my friends and I ended up using FaceTime instead. I wish they would fix this issue especially since I have followed all their guidelines. I would love to rate it a 5 but I can’t due to this circumstance..Version: 1.48.0

✓ Honestly questioning this app...This app has been great, it’s as advertised. It allows you to chat with many different people, doesn’t crash and is hardly glitchy. My concern is after having this app for a month or so, I am beginning to question the privacy given on this app. If you continuously tap the facts, it shows new ones every time but there are however some very inappropriate almost “facts” such as- “You look hot”, and many other gender assuming “facts” and is leading me to question if there are people behind this app watching you and putting in obvious information in specific people. Such as if the user is a male, they give you facts specifically for males or if you are a female, it gives you facts specifically for females. I have been given many inappropriate facts and just facts in general that aren’t appropriate for children even though this app is advertised for 9+. Definitely gonna be looking into this because it puts in a very unsafe and uncomfortable position..Version: 1.5.10
✓ WE NEED TO SEND VIDSIt’s great that you don’t have to use a phone number I love that which is why I did 2 stars, BUT!!! We NEED to send vids. Or share your screen. It’s really annoying and my friend agrees. Sorry for giving a bad rating just for this but me and my friends have troubles doing things together this way! Plz fix it and add it in or whatever. I’ve got fed up and it would be great if you answers and did this for me and my friends. Most of them didn’t rate btw. Thank you for reading and don’t get really high expectations if your not the developer but still reading. Sorry if I’m acting rude btw... plz don’t think I’m trying to be rude I’m just being honest. I will give three stars though..Version: 1.47.1
✓ Three stars review explanationSo, I gave Houseparty a 3star review because they were always sending me notifications to sign up with Facebook. I’m to young for Facebook and I don’t like it. Making something do something they don’t want to is not appropriate. Second, it doesn’t work if you don’t have WiFi........? what if you want to talk with your family members as a group in one chat and you can’t because you don’t have WiFi. It’s very annoying how apps don’t let you play or do things on it without WiFi. It’s very annoying, and for me growing up with not that much WiFi in my household, it really annoys me of how I always have to have it. Third, the app will also don’t work if you have slow WiFi. What I meant with growing up with not that much WiFi in my household, I meant it was very slow. Sure now it fast but still. What about other people. They just want to enjoy their time. Not from worrying if their WiFi is bad. So this is my opinion. I am only 11 years old and I still have my judgments..Version: 1.12.5
✓ Bring back full screenIn what world do the developers of this app think that the changes they’ve made are great. When quarantine first started in March and this app was all the rage, the development team decided not to listen. The changes implemented like “let’s remove full screen and then letterbox the sides of the screen because a few people accidentally press some of the on screen buttons” is absurd, (especially since the majority of your users are on their mobile phone screens). The refusal to realize during your new founded popularity that your default setting notifications spam everyone. Whether you open the app for 2 seconds to see if anyone else is on currently or whether your friends doing the same was/is obnoxious. “Oh I’m up at 2am, let’s check if anyone is on Houseparty...” IMMEDIATELY sends a notification to everyone that you’re friends with no matter what timezone. Also not making it easy whatsoever to find/disable that was another great move. Houseparty got lucky that a global pandemic happened and people were searching and desperate for a video chat app to stay in contact with their friends. Some how in that gold strike moment the people calling the shots were so disassociated with the actual people using it that they decided to double down and continue to make user unfriendly decisions. “Let’s add a few more games, that’ll help!” cool. Maybe next time if you get lucky with an app you’ll actually have people that know what your audience wants..Version: 1.49.5

✓ Dangerous App, don’t be fooled!This is a great app for invading your privacy. It requires way too much personal info and needs to verify your phone number with sms..Version: 1.42.0
✓ This is terribleMe and my two friends where in our party and this creepy kid voice popped up he said his name was meowsiclles and he was from Fortnite it was soo creepy.Version: 1.41.1
✓ Great app but a few issuesMe and my friend were doing whoever could type the most and saying random things and after like a few seconds it deletes it snd u have to start over again and is really frustrating, I love this app but I have heard from some people it cause drama And people get left out because like say a friend Is talking to another and someone goes on house party and then they lock the door and it makes the person sad, so I get it so not people just join you and I like how u can lock it but I’m saying it hurts people feelings so I’m just saying to everyone to this app that to be aware and if someone is bullying you just report them, and be kind to everyone and they will be kind to you, and now the good part of this app is you can talk to your friend more often and I like to keep you not board you can play games like uno and let’s more it just makes my heart glow to see people playing together and talking on this app but my heart drops when someone is mean, so everyone be nice and have fun on this app but be aware there is some mean people you just don’t listen to them, be carful on this app, and be aware that when ur typing something really long it could delete it snd don’t get frustrated if it happens it happened to me too! Have fun!.Version: 1.52.0
✓ Please make the mackbook Houseparty betterI have already made a review on house party on asking you to give us house party on the MacBook and I’m so happy you did but in my opinion it needs some help. For example my Houseparty and my friends Houseparty on the MacBook is really bad, for one of my friends so bad that she can’t even open it. Another thing it’s not even an app that you can download on the App Store it’s a link that you can send to your email, but the thing is what happens if you don’t have an email, you have to think about these things because some people in Houseparty are little and they just want to talk to their friends. Also there is no way to log out on your Mac to switch to other accounts and on top of that you can’t invite anyone to rooms, receive messages, and send messages. These are all the things I ask to make it better. Ps: my friend also sent a review for filters and you said they were gonna come out soon but I still see no sight of that..Version: 1.12.0
✓ Hacker attempted hackThe app seems cool with games etc. However, I’ve seen first hand people’s email accounts almost hacked after having downloaded House Party. Luckily Google identified and prevented the hack then notified the user. House Party needs better cyber security systems to prevent hackers from getting in..Version: 1.34.6
✓ It’s really good but ...House party is really good except it would be lots better if someone couldn’t just join with you when you don’t want them to and you are just browsing your account. Either than that i find it an excellent app and its a really good way to connect with your friends. Maybe the limit in the house should exceed to 10 in stead of 8. I love how you can message your friends too but unfortunately can not send images. House party is truely an amazing app. On the negative side it also has a lot of connection issues and i dont think you can delete a chat..Version: 1.30.0
✓ Totally annoyedI am over sixty years old and when asked by my family yesterday to join this frustrating app I was totally kicked out by either not right password or email!!! So my family said fix my application!!! Nowhere did it allow me!! Then they said ask to be emailed to correct password!! I did many times and after being asked if this is the right email which I obviously said yes!!! Nothing came to me! Needless to say I am not impressed with trying to connect through this way!!.Version: 1.40.3
✓ WhyNeed your number and email and age so I don’t trust it.Version: 1.41.1
✓ Linked accounts hackedI’ve heard a lot of comments about linked accounts getting hacked, so if you’re scared of that and want to delete the app, make sure you delete your account first.Version: 1.34.5
✓ Improvements on the appMaybe you could make it so that it shows the number/amount of friends at the top of the screen where it shows who your friends are. You could make it so that even after you’ve added someone you can still see who their mutual friends are/and maybe also you could make it so that you not only see who their mutual friends are, but who their mutual friends are that aren’t your friends. And maybe Could you add filters as well, like Snapchat. Also, can you have it so that you can call up to 10 or 12 people at one time, instead of only 8. Thx heaps!.Version: 1.34.6
✓ Won’t allow me to delete appI was enjoying houseparty but I’d heard of safety fears regarding the app so I decided to protect myself and delete the app. When I go into privacy settings within the app and then to delete the app it tells me repeatedly that I’ve used the incorrect password. I thought maybe it was me so I logged out and logged back in and low and behold the password works. I then tried repeatedly again to delete the app but it just won’t let me. I told my friends and they spookily have had the same problem?!!!! They thought it was their genuine mistake but now realise their password is correct but houseparty refuses to acknowledge it. Why is houseparty not allowing people to delete ? This is very strange behaviour and making me feel VERY uncomfortable. I’ve emailed and asked for my account to be deleted and I’m yet to hear from them. BE CAREFUL ONCE THEY HAVE YOU, YOU CANT LEAVE.Version: 1.34.1
✓ I like the app overallI like the app overall but it’s a disappointment that I can’t sent pictures and vids to my friends and also that the games aren’t the best and there should be more.Version: 1.48.0
✓ User who deleted this appThis app can be very dangerous. It logs into your accounts, takes ur bank passwords and can take ur money away. Logs into Spotify or any other apps and worse even gmail which might be connected or have other login information. So please beware. There is a huge twitter thread about people posting on this topic. Please go ahead and read. This app doesn’t even let u delete ur account Cz u have to email them to have ur account removed..Version: 1.34.6
✓ Camera bug annoyingI cant turn off my camera and there isnt even an option, ive tried googling it and theres nothing, ive reinstalled twice and it still doesnt show up. Iphone 6 plus, ios up to date. Please fix this because its annoying.Version: 1.33.1
✓ DON’T DO IT ❌⚠️If I could give it negative stars, I would. Friends: I STRONGLY urge that you delete your account with HouseParty and then the app if you have it! Previously I had been hacked 0 times so this was surprising! This was the only thing I downloaded today as a friend sent it to me. Then I had a Snapchat verification code sent to my phone number even though I didn’t request it, and there was another device logged on to my Facebook while I was frantically changing passwords. Then oddly there was a weird flash at the top of my iPhone screen, kind of like a notification, but it came so fast and left that I couldn’t even see or recognize what it said. I don’t know if that was someone else also accessing my device from some other location or what. And it makes sense that they would be able to use my information because it even gets you to put your phone number in!!!! BE CAREFUL. I read online really quick some recent reviews and the company is alleging some “smear campaign” about hacking and offering a reward of $1mill for info. on who is spreading rumours. Go ahead and report me for your $1mill 😂 But seriously that is way too coincidental for everything that just happened to me. And to be honest. Instead of the company trying to point fingers elsewhere, why not fess up in regards to their piss poor app safety. The choice is yours, be safe!!!!.Version: 1.34.6
✓ Doesn’t work well anymore on iOS 13Doesn’t work anymore on iOS 13. Always drained your battery too much anyways. On to the next app! While I think this app is loads better than FaceTime (doesn’t hang up when you turn off your screen, takes up all your screen with no wasted black space,) it keeps messing up the orientation of video chats as my friends will be upside down or sideways when chatting. It requires closing the app and reopening it. Also, I wish there weren’t so many gestures, as everyone always accidentally swipes out of a room. It’s a feature none of us use (why would we be going in and out of chats like that?) And if you guys could tone it down with the amount of notifications this app produces, that would be great. Other than that this app is still way better than FaceTime, which has become gimmicky junk over the years. All we want to do is video chat to talk, no stupid overlays or memojis that only drain the iPhone even more and add no functional value to the experience..Version: 1.34.1
✓ I got hacked and i don’t recommendI got this app, two days later i was hacked. i don’t recommend this app :((.Version: 1.55.0
✓ BEWAREDO NOT link your contacts or Facebook. It will give a notification each time anyone you know joins Houseparty and there’s no way to turn this off. Also even after I unliked my accounts it somehow still knows who my contacts and Facebook friends are - very creepy.Version: 1.40.2
✓ HackJ’ai entendu dire que plusieurs personnes se servait de houseparty pour hack les autres applications. Et depuis quelques temps je ne suis plus capable de rentrer dans mon compte snapchat . Pouvez vous m’en dire plus s’il vous plaît. merci.Version: 1.34.6
✓ Fun App but some annoying notificationsThis app is so great. My friends, family, and coworkers have loved using this as opposed to FaceTime or zoom because of the games. The games with your loved ones on this really helps to temporarily forget the stressful times we have living in. However, there are some really annoying aspects of this app. 1) Way. Too. Many. Notifications. The notifications settings in the app are very limited. I get a notification every time a new Facebook friend joins the app. It’s extremely annoying. I’m probably going into my iPhone settings and completely disable notifications for the app entirely until the fix it. 2) the app isn’t intuitive and user friendly. Even for me who is super techie, it’s a trial and error of pushing buttons to navigate around. My older relatives would definitely not be able to figure this out alone. The user experience should be improved a bit..Version: 1.41.0
