Szopj leA kurva anyad zenly, faszert nem tolthetem le a kurva appod. en csak meg akartam razni a telefonom :(.Version: 5.8.1

I used to love youI’ve always loved Zenly. Unfortunately, for now anyway, the new version doesn’t allow us to disable our “footprint” view on the map. I find it pretty annoying specially that I honestly don’t care where I’ve been. Please give us an option to disable “footprint” layer..Version: 5.0.0

Pull the new update!The new update is like a nightmare!.Version: 5.0.0

更新太丑了请换回之前的这个更新真的没必要实在是太丑了,更何况还取消了见面次数与时间真的很让人困扰 我更是因为喜欢这些点才下载了这个app的 希望变回以前的zenly! 如果没有变回去的意愿 会卸载的.Version: 5.0.0

Why can’t I use the app?I’m so confused as to why when I get so close and put my name, birthday , and when I get down to my phone number. All of a sudden it pops up saying “ zenly is closing in 45 days? And , cannot accept me. But , my friends on Snapchat can?” If the app is no. Longer allowing any new customers to join. Then why in the heck are y’all even up in the App Store? Even allowing people such as myself to even download the app. Jus to be told news like that?? Frustrating why don’t you jus go ahead and delete the app off the App Store. So no one has to even go threw the trouble downloading , and even putting in information jus to not be able to actually use the app? And, this is my first time EVER writing a review! But, I had to jus for the fact it was unnecessary, and could’ve been avoided!.Version: 5.8.1

Recent 2022 updateI hate the new update! It was perfect the way it was before, it had easy mechanics. Now i have no idea how to use it. I’m not a boomer but they changed everything and it is so bad now. It is going to take a long time for me to adjust to it.Version: 5.0.4

更新后一点都不好!!个人隐私一点都没有了 还有页面也变得很难看😢 也看不懂怎么操作,希望能改回旧版。真的很不喜欢新版 设计的很难看.Version: 5.0.0

Design👎🏻Can you just bring back the old design… the new design is not user friendly and not cute anymore….. I don’t like the dark mode as well as the font. It used to be a cute and beautiful app but not anymore…..Version: 5.0.0

Update could be far betterI liked Zenly prior to the latest update. However it now forces you to have the visited locations overlay in place (there should be an option to turn this off - at least I can’t find one) and the colour scheme for the overlay is so hideous it makes me want to stop using Zenly from now on..Version: 5.0.0

Update is no good recently!Unfortunately, I must write this comment to issue the strongest protest to the recent update. It lost the important functions before, yet emphasised and repeated the bad functions such as the “annoy colourful map” that shows where I have been to before. I don’t need it regularly since I could already check mine on the right-up side. I cannot chat with my friends easily, and I lost the “special marks” for my friends and loved ones which show how many weeks we have spent together! I love Zenly! However, now???? Maybe not~ I will still keep it because I understand your good will and attention in improving this product! I hope you may sincerely take notes from the recent comments from the other users and improve! Thank you very much!.Version: 5.0.0

The new version is absolutely trashI’m not even lying the design is just unacceptable for me. You really need to think about making it back to what it was. It is just SO UGLY that I don’t even want to open this app anymore. Ew..Version: 5.1.0

The New Theme is so ugly 😢I've been using the app for a long time but this is the first time I've seen a bad update like this. Hope your company can change the design..Version: 5.0.0

VERY BAD UPDATEThis update is the worst ever. If there is a zero star option, I would choose that. First off, the color scheme is off, it completely takes away the OG zenly theme with the cute emojis and icons. Secondly, the user experience is not great compared to the old version which was so much easier to navigate. It also lacks of an option to close down the colored portion of the maps - it is extremely hard to see with the colors on. If you are going to make a big change that add an option to let the users to choose which theme they would like. I am considering to uninstall this app..Version: 5.0.0

How do you turn off in-app vibrationsThis is the only thing that’s annoying me right now. Can I someone please tell me how to turn off in app vibrations?? It drains my battery....... I’ve turned off vibration on my phone system setting but doesn’t apply to this app..Version: 3.94.3

Limited functionsFirst of all, I don't have control over how I share my location. I want to change it to "Only locate while using app". I can't. Zenly forces you to change it to "Always". Secondly, I cannot look up the past travel history of my contacts. Life360 can. This is a very limited function app..Version: 4.27.0

LolNew update sucks.Version: 5.0.0

别更新了 往回更吧更新完了什么都不是了 我已经不想打开这软件了。这更新是真垃圾基本没有人会说好。不知道你们公司怎么想的,什么审美?垃圾.Version: 5.0.0

:(The new version makes my phone stop working every time I open the app. And I cant find the section “how much time I have spent with my frs” anymore. I appreciate your effort but this new Zenly is literally driving me crazy..Version: 5.0.0

New Zenly UpdateI miss the old zenly map where everything was clear and easy to use, being able to check how many people check your location and how many times :(.Version: 5.0.0

RETURN THE OLD DESIGNI’ve always loved zenly! I got all my friends and family to use it. This new update sucks and isn’t user friendly, it looks clustered and dark and messy. Bring the old update back!!.Version: 5.0.0

Please change to the original version!I loved using Zenly originally, but yesterday my app updated automatically and it turned out that I didn’t know how to use zenly anymore. All of the functions seemed to be different and very difficult to use compared with the original version. I loved the blue icon before compared with all black format with the updated one. With the original one I would rate 5 stars, but for the new one I only want to rate 1 star, so I have just 3 stars overall..Version: 5.0.0

The new version fails us 🤮Zenly used to be my #1 favorite app, but the new 5.0.0 version really let me down. My close friends and I have used it for years, since we found it to be the best substitute for location sharing apps like FindMyFriends. It had unique brand personalities, cute surprises delighted us every day, and even the release notes were super fun to read. However, this revamped version changes the priorities of its features, which doesn’t make sense to me at all. It should be focused on the CONNECTION among close friends. What else? Many user flows are broken, some texts are too tiny/thin to see… The new style might be the a nice, chic direction to try, yet the gradient and typography DOESN’T LOOK GOOD AT ALL!!! Do your real users who love the original style accept such a DRAMATICAL CHANGE? Have you tested with real users for the style change, new interactions, and accessibility??? Can’t believe what just happened..Version: 5.0.0

I Decided to Keep My Promise: Show Our AttitudeBecause I still not see any updates for a better experience, I have uninstalled zenly. I couldn’t understand why when so many users express their dislike of this new version, the zenly team still being like this stubborn!? Shouldn't an application be designed to serve and meet the needs of its users? If everybody don't like it, the designer should make a change! I'm so disappointed with the zenly team! If you see this comment and you has the same feeling as me, please uninstall it to express our attitude! We don’t like the new version and we need a change!.Version: 5.2.1

Please update one more timeI have been using Zenly for over two years, and I love it; it's fantastic! However, this update destroys everything. Please make a change! Optional dark mode, maybe? Personally, I don't enjoy this dark mode right now Optional to show which place has been explored. It looks weird and messy right now. Change back to old version main interface which easy to find friends And I don't like the emoji, maybe looks fancy, but definitely not cute anymore.Version: 5.0.0

New version looks a cheap energy drink🤬Your new version, the interface, the color scheme, the fonts are all ugly. The icons are a big step back. It used to be cute and puffy, but now it's like a funeral. The drastic changes in the functionality completely ignore the user's experience. And There seems like a green yellow shield on my map, interface is black, buttoms are blue and purple. Too many colors make me visually exhausting. Terse and balanced use of color make us comfort. And ur font should not be all lowercase, we all know China and china are big difference. And the underline is superfluous, don't you think there's too many elements for now? The building's logo doesn't need to be exquisite cuz it's small. The emoji either, it used to be puffy and cute. This whole thing is messed up, I'm sure you'll get more complaints..Version: 5.0.0

Don’t update!This new design is totally trash! Pls return to old design. I will go zero star to this new version..Version: 5.0.0

BadPlease find another designer.Version: 5.0.0

PleasePlease bring old version back.Version: 5.0.0

Gone downhill a bitI loved this app. Since they changed it the map is now missing. Please don’t fix things that aren’t broken.Version: 5.6.3

Old Zenly BetterThis places or this new zenly is too much. It’s lost it’s purpose.Version: 5.4.0

Middle of the earth!!!Now I know why Zenly had the middle of the earth view!!! It was due to the team having their head stick so far in the sand! The ratings overwhelmingly decry the new version, but, no, zenly developers know better than their users! So, users continue to abandon the new version in favor of other friend map applications. Customer service at its best! - make users so unhappy with your product (ie lower the bar so far!) that, upon switching to another, they’ll ultimately be happy! I came back to see if maybe by chance they had even listened a little to the user base, but no, they still think they know best- just read their developer comments ( e.g. “you’ll get used to it”, “change happens “, etc). Poor Zenly!.Version: 5.3.0

Rollback old VersionThis version not good I don’t like black version and I don’t like zenly anymore, I used 2years and now just Uninstall because the black version like not good and the features change not simpel anymore..Version: 5.1.0

Not even worth one starBring back old Zenly, this dark version is so hard to read and complicated. Can’t even see how many times you have been viewed. Well to Delete this and look for another app! Also the developer David is not overly happy with bringing the old version back so yeah! Hopefully the people will realise and stop using this now “useless” app! It’s become the best app to the worst app!.Version: 5.0.2

Plz change it back🥲Please change the theme back...Version: 5.0.0

Sleep inconsistentSometimes zenly says my freind is asleep and then the next time apparently they’re not even tho I know they should be sleeping l. So what’s going on ? And how do you even know when someone is asleep.Version: 5.0.5

The new version is awfulThe new version is too difficult to use. Please changed back to the original one!.Version: 5.0.0

The old Zenly was the way to stay.This new update sucks. When my partner is trying to show me where he’s going and I’m trying to see him on the map but it never loads properly or updates where he’s going, there’s an issue!! Bring back the old update guys. Seriously. Nobody likes this update so just don’t even try to make it better lol..Version: 5.2.2

Really bad updateI been using this app since last year, It was really amazing to use! But this app been update few times lately it’s so bad!!!! So many bugs and doesn’t work like before!!!.Version: 3.94.0

The new version is toooo badI don’t like it. It is not user friendly. What do you think we using this app? To see the location of my bestie, then we can communicate. Now it is difficult to locate them soon. And the dark doesn’t look good. Why can’t you provide an option that we can use the other colors.Version: 5.3.0

麻烦换回来真的好难用 还难看 之前喜欢zenly的点全没了 现在要听着呢都不知道怎么用还不方便。真的麻烦请还回去原本的。.Version: 5.0.0

Bring back old versionDon’t like the new update it’s very hard to use the old version is way better and user friendly..Version: 5.0.2

Old Version is betterWe need it back!.Version: 5.0.2

PLS BRING BACK THE OLD VERSIONNNNFirst of all, why is it black and the design is like whyyy. Like why do people need to see where I had been since the first day we downloaded this app?? As long as my friends and family are safe then it’s ok right? Unless that’s no longer the purpose of this app. Secondly, the new version had lost sooo many old features. The old features were one of two reasons I downloaded the app in the first place..Version: 5.0.5

ZenlyI love all about the application except the fact that I face some difficulties in checking out my lover or friends locations when they don’t often use zenly even though they open the internet. I kindly request you that if you ever put the function that can always keep an eye though the other person doesn’t check on me. Much respect..Version: 4.20.2

Absolutely HATE the new designThe colours are overbearing. It's impossible to see where I've been with the map zoomed all the way out. The multicoloured map makes me feel sick! I literally HATE everything about it. 🤢🤢🤢 You ruined what WAS a good app. Gonna look for an alternative app & take my friends with me....Version: 5.0.0

UpdateNew update sucks bring back the old version.Version: 5.0.0

I LOVE THIS APP BUT THERE IS A PROBLEM…The new update is terrible. I loved the way the old one looked, felt to use and functioned. Please enable an option in settings to go back to the legacy style. The new style is enough to uninstall the app for my friends and I..Version: 5.0.0

What’s wrong?I’m sorry but I was wondering what is happening to designers of this app? 这是人能搞出来的设计吗?.Version: 5.0.0

Permission greedyThe app says you can change the permission setting for location access at any time to only while using, however the app completely locks up and forces you to grant always allow on every single permission. Literally just uninstalled after that :P.Version: 4.29.3

This app doesn't look as fun as it used to.The old zenly was this charming fun app, it had character and it made using this app quite the experience. It didn't look like any of the other messaging apps, which brought me back to using zenly,even the app icons were cute. The dms were incredibly fun, the little talking guy on the bottom left was always a conversation starter, it was like he was the one saying "zenly!". These new features and continued support are great, but can we please return to the previous visual aesthetic of the app, This new visual update lacks the soul brought by the previous editions. Thank you for such a positive messaging experience..Version: 5.0.0

Zenly mapsNot overly keen on the new update would love the option to go back to the older version the new one makes it a lot harder to see where you have been because of the orange background.Version: 5.0.0

UpdateThis current update is so inconvenient, please bring back the feature where you can see your friends’ current location by going to your own main page..Version: 5.7.0

SpywareYou dont need this app, it used pretty colours and polish to make distract you from the fact it just exists to mine data and sell it. If you’re worried about the safety of others just text them and ask and when you meet your friends you’re never going to pull out your phone just to “bump” them it’s ridiculous Other than that its a basic messaging app that as far as i can tell has 0 privacy features like whats app’s end to end encryption. It’s cringely transparent that this is zoomer bait with the overuse of emojis and the forced inclusion of tiktok. A word to the wise, while you may not see any harm in having apps that datamine, it adds up, the less you care the more spam you get in your inboxes and the more insurance phone calls you get. Make your life easier and reject crap you dont need because its not worth it long term. Additionally you’re exposing anybody in your contact list as that data is also recorded..Version: 4.59.0

Change back the layout!Sorry this design is way to hard to look at, I understand you were excited to launch this new update but can you change back to the old layout, I am having a hard time navigating let alone my parents, who use this app and literally not tech savvy 🫠.Version: 5.0.0

Need the old version backWhat the heck is this new version!!! I downloaded this app for my family including my grandma. Now it’s so complicated and impossible to use. If you wanna change EVERYTHING why don’t launch a new app or at least give people the option to choose..Version: 5.0.0

Disappointed with the new UI changeThe heat map style exploration is the most frustrating among all other UI changes with this new update. It’s great that Zenly wants to gamify an utility app but maybe adds the option for people to turn this setting off? I didn’t download Zenly for any other purposes than to share locations with my loved ones and not intended to in the future. The heat map style makes it extremely difficult to look at the map unless you’ve already been to the area, very counterintuitive design. Searching also was not user friendly at all, it was only a blank screen and my keyboard didn’t automatically show up until I tapped around on the screen randomly a few times. Very disappointed with the new design and it’s very hard for older family members to get used to..Version: 5.0.0

Terrible since upgradeWhy have you made such drastic and quite frankly awful changes? It was good previously, did what you wanted it to and was easy and clear to navigate round. Now it’s just too complicated, full of unnecessary rubbish and the colours are terrible. Please revert back to the previous version.Version: 5.0.2

The new version is poorIs it possible to have the ‘close friend’ function came back? And the function to show how many times we’ve met. The function to show how many times someone saw me. That’s really important function for zenly..Version: 5.0.0

I would give a 0 if I couldAfter 2days trying to enjoy the new version - I failed. It sucks in so many ways. Please bring back the previous version.Version: 5.0.0

Ghost mode do not consider all situationsThe ghost mode features a blur mode visible by friends and an invisible freeze mode. This does not help when I want to make up a reason for not showing up at some occasions unless I actually go there. For example, if I am actually visiting a relative in a hospital and do not want to get my friends worried, I cannot just say that I am at some random place, but only those I have been to and remembered to set a freeze. This is not convenient..Version: 3.84.0

Horrible PivacyTerribly greedy app for privacy. In order to work at all it requires to know your location at all times. Deleted. Got a disingenuous reply from the developer obfuscating the issue. Of course the app needs to know your location WHILE YOU’RE USING IT. It does not need to always know your location whether you’re using it or not. The app has been designed so it will not work unless you allow it to know your location at all times, always. This is a horrible greedy app in terms of privacy. Do not use..Version: 4.27.0

Don’t like new updateDon’t like the update, please bring back the old version. It’s hard to change screens & get off the chat back to the maps. I seem to go round in circles clicking everything. It also says I’m at the wrong location all the time. My son thought I was at the police station when I was at sports centre & my place of work now seems to be a restaurant called cabbages & condoms … rather than a care home !!!.Version: 5.0.0

Missing some featuresHi, so about this new update I have some requests. Congrats on starting a new chapter in your life but this new update seems lacking. I was once able to Zoom in to see what’s under my friends but that features now either gone or not working. The feature that gave us the emotes while texting is now replaced with just the mic and if you want to send emotes to someone, you can’t through messaging, you have to go into the main screen and click on your friend to do so. I don’t like how that’s been changed, maybe you just forgot to add it but please re-add it back, it’s very tedious to have to get out the messaging screen just to send emotes to your friends..Version: 5.0.0

MapThe map is out . When I know my friends is home . It’s not telling me that . It’s jumping all over . And when it stops jumping. He’s still not home . And it’s calling my friends home my work place. But other than that thanks for letting coming on your app.Version: 4.58.1

Super bad updateI used to use Zenly a couple times a day and now after the update, I barely use it at all. Curious to know the thoughts and research done behind the UI/UX and what enhanced benefits the new experience provided because other then too much color, super hard to understand map, and worse positioning, I couldn’t seem to find anything else helpful to this app anymore. I know the team won’t be able to change back to the older version, but please at least remember why the app was created in the first place. the simplicity and convenience of it was why everyone “used to love it”..Version: 5.1.0

你可太欠了zenly!咋啥都说呢 我都没有隐私了!!!!!.Version: 4.27.0

Must provide precise location and always on. No privacy on friends recommendation.There is no privacy on this app period. You must turn on always share your location even if the app is not on, and requires precise location, else the app is locked. The friend recommendations are super creepy because I didn’t allow Zenly to access my contact, yet they are all the friends that are in my contact and they get freaking notified to see if they know me when I just joined. I don’t even know how Zenly can explain this..Version: 4.42.0

Missing important featuresI’m enjoying this app and it’s good for keeping track of my kids. However, it’s missing important features that the app Life360 has. I’m also using this app. Life360 tells me when my kids are on the move, and it tells me when they have reached there destination whether it’s at home or at school. It shows there path on the map whether walking or driving. Life360 is much more detailed then Zenly. Zenly is pretty basic. I would rather you get rid of all the sparkles and rainbows crap and have a more functional app. Zenly download Life360 and play around with it. Take notes of good things there doing to there app and copy there features. Otherwise me and my family will be deleting this and moving on to bigger and better things. Also I’m using the app find my kids which also has better features then this. Take note of that one too..Version: 4.63.4

UpdatePlease change it back to the old cute design😭😭😭😭🙏🏻🙏🏻.Version: 5.0.0

Old versionThe new version is too complicated, the colours are mashing together do you can’t actually see what you need. Would just like the previous simply interface and features. The new version has unnecessary features no one needs..Version: 5.0.3

Cellular Data Is Forced Off Just for «Zenly”I’ve been using this app for a while now, I’ve liked every feature, until recently it stopped working on cellular data for whatever reason it might be. I’ve tried using every method to solve this issue, I’ve reinstalled the app, deleted it, restarted my phone several times, wen to the settings switched the cellular data option on the app, but it keeps persistently switching back to off by itself, I still don’t understand anything, pls help me resolve the issue, it’s getting me dizzy lately.Version: 4.60.0

The new update ruined the appI have used zenly since 2015 and seen quite a few updates. Unfortunately, the newest update has completely ruined the app and frankly made me consider switching to a new one. The colorful and friendly UI is gone. Now the map is permanently tinted a sickly pinkish green, with no option to turn off. The playful cartoon emojis have been replaced with creepy hyper realistic ones. The menus are unintuitive and everything is hard to look at. I understand that changes like this represent significant resources spent on development and design and that it's an attempt to make the app seem more mature, but I think the update has missed the mark. None of the new features are enjoyable. The features I loved have been changed for good. I loved this app, but now it's become something completely different. And judging by recent reviews, I'm not alone in that sentiment. I hope that you will see these reviews and revert the changes. Until then, I will be looking for a new app to use and wishing for what once was. 😔.Version: 5.0.6

Crashing iphonesSad to give such a low rating to what was an excellent and very useful app. Unfortunately the new version crashes iphones. Screen locks, prevents any other apps opening, then after a few minutes in limbo, the whole phone restarts. Love the old app, this one unfortunately is all but unusable..Version: 5.0.3

Bring the older version back!!!.Version: 5.0.0

App doesn’t workI used to love this app it worked so well and it always updated but lately it just doesn’t work the map doesn’t load it says my friends have been at the same place for days and nothing loads it doesn’t show anyone’s profile pictures and sometimes the app just doesn’t load at all i really love this app but i’m gonna delete it soon if it doesn’t start to work UPDATE : i fixed it sometimes apple finds the app “insecure” and turns off cellular data for the app find zenly in settings and make sure that cellular data is turned on for the app because that's the issue i was having.Version: 4.42.1

New update crashes and locks my phone and I’m aware of 6 others.It was an amazing app always using it to keep in touch with family and friends . The new update is freezing or crashing my phone every time or sooooo slow if it works now since the update Please fix the bugs we loved the old zenley.Version: 5.0.2

Isn’t Taiwan a part of China?Why Taiwan and China are use same font type?.Version: 4.1.1

Needs improvementI really did not like always on Location thing if I don’t have a choice why should I use this app. İt is my profile but I can not control it as I like 👎🏻 bad I have to delete before I try it properly. It needs a bit of improvement or just let people try first and see whether we would like to her our location and contacts etc at all times!!!.Version: 3.91.0

Make design for choose plsThat was great app before, but atm idk how to use that, since update 2 month have passed and i cant get used to new design, thats fr bad. I tried to return old app version to avoid new design, but unfortunately i cant do this. New design is fr bad, and this opinion is not only mine, but also that of many people thinks like me. And you can fix it easily cuz you can do choose design app like as done with choice app icon, i hope you do that bcz thats easy to implement. You got ready design, you need only add choice near 2 designs. Imma also hope my msg will be not ignored.Version: 5.4.0

新设计太丑了建议更改回原来的样子。这么丑你们自己看着不难受吗?能不能搞点阳间的颜色。黑不拉几的难不难受啊.Version: 5.0.0

The new UI is so uglyI really enjoyed using Zenly before, but I totally changed my mind after I upgraded it. The new UI is so ugly and so difficult to use… even wanna delete it….Version: 5.0.0

Give me the old version back☹️The UI is so bad for the latest version… colors are too similar and looks dirty somehow, I can’t even find what I need Plus, why u stop showing how many times the friends have visited my page😫.Version: 5.0.0

The new update is just not it :(Hey zenly, I really appreciate how you wanted to start a new chapter and leave the past behind. My friends and I truly love zenly and it’s cartoonized/gamified user interface. However, (I’m so sorry to say this but) the new update actually disappointed many of us. The new UI is no longer cute or user friendly. The new emojis are not adorable nor fun at all, please bring back the old ones. And how the place names are displayed with underscores is just so not aesthetic lol. The new font style is not as cute as the old ones. The whole black color theme makes the app look so dull and gloomy. The new icons also don’t look as cute as how they were before. However, I do like the new “check-ins” feature, it sounds interesting! BUT PLEASE bring back the old UI if possible. Genuinely requesting. Thanks!.Version: 5.0.0

Wish I could give 0 starsHorrible clunky laggy interface. The new update makes it impossible to see where your friends are. The new design makes everything hard to see and the landmarks wont go away even when you try to swipe to the side. Garbage software and design..Version: 5.2.1

Footsteps are now too light!Love the app, but the recent change to the footsteps layer is a huge regression. They’re really hard to see, which is a shame as it’s the only reason I use the app. Please make them a little easier to see (:.Version: 5.2.1

Do not updateUsed love it, it’s cute, but now why the them is so dark? Plz fix it back.Version: 5.0.0

New update sucksPlease change it to the older version where everything is simpler. New update got rid of many of the things that made zenly good, and added elements no one asked for. 🫠.Version: 5.0.2

Awful updateIm so sorry Zenly but you used to be an easy straight forward app to use and now it’s all complicated for someone in their 20s for a simple find your friends app. For one, the middle button that refreshes location is totally gone, making it harder for me to follow who I’m meeting. I don’t need constant short cuts to adding friends, I don’t need to see it wherever I click. What used to be one of my favourite apps and also to recommend has become very very hard and annoying to use. It isn’t a social media app, I don’t use to converse at all just a quicker way for us to all share our locations. Wrong move guys sorry.Version: 5.0.0

Used to love it- new update is so bad :(I have been using Zenly for YEARS (like since 2016) and previously it was a great app. The old version was so nice and easy to use, I don’t know why they felt like they needed to rebrand the entire app. Now the app is terribly designed, the color scheme is awful, the new font is hard to read, and all of my favorite features are hard to find now. I’m sooooo sad I updated this app and can’t go back :( I hope their team listens to the user base because it seems nobody likes the update. Some of the new features are cool, but was it necessary to rebrand the entire aesthetic of the app just to implement some new features?.Version: 5.1.0

New updateThe new update is really bad please bring the old version back.Version: 5.0.0

Awful designI have been using this for many years and have never been so disappointed. The new design is terrible..Version: 5.0.0

Mais pourquoi?Avec la nouvelle version, je n’ai que des difficultés.. la carte ne se charge pas, les icônes des personnes en mouvements ne se déplacent pas simultanément avec les personnes, et 2 fois sur 3 l’application elle-même ne s’ouvre pas ou s’ouvre sur un écran vide. Sans compter toutes les fois ou l’écran « gèle », m’obligeant à redémarrer mon téléphone pour que le problème se règle, et ne se règle que temporairement avant que zenly ne recommence le même manège. J’adorais cette application avant, elle m’était beaucoup plus utile que toutes les autres comme plans ou google maps.. Maintenant je n’ai que des problèmes, et beaucoup de difficultés à l’utiliser puisque son rendement est d’environ 1/5. Je suis extrêmement déçue. Tout a changé mais pas pour le mieux, malheureusement. Pourquoi?.Version: 5.0.0

New Update Major FailI enjoyed using zenly before the weird update, the new version is hard to navigate and not user friendly. Wish they could change it back.Version: 5.0.2

Please give us back the old versionWhat have you done you took a brilliant app that worked fantastically and have ruined it no one can use it we are now looking to find a different app..Version: 5.0.0

ZenlyI love Zenly. It’s a super fun way to keep up with my friends and send each other emojis and love, plus the bump function is great. However I preferred the app before the latest update and find it more difficult to find my friends now. I was also not provided a tutorial on the new functions of the app and there for am left super confused and trying to figure the new look and navigations out for myself….Version: 5.0.0

DisappointedI’ve always loved Zenly. It’s worked fairly well over the years. Of course sometimes it’s a little off or laggy but that is very manageable. However, I really am extremely disappointed in the redesign. I am confused how this redesign made it through any consumer testing? (If it didn’t go through any, that explains a lot). I don’t like the new places/map features or whatever. Weird and useless to me. It’s hard to navigate. And I DESPISE the new color theming. At least let us have the old theming back if nothing else? It’s so hard to even look at. :( give me my old Zenly back, I miss that friend. Haha..Version: 5.1.0

Can we please go back to the childish cute layout ?I’ve used zenly for a while to stay in touch in a fun way with my family who is in another country as I am. I was proud on seeing my percentage covered. And loved spamming my friends with emojis. Please please let’s go back to how it was. Pleaaaase I’m really sorry to say this I know that there’s always a lot of work before an update but my friends and me included have been so I satisfied with the new update that have stopped using it :(.Version: 5.0.0

Crashes/ restarts iPhone!Every time I open this new updates version, it either 1. doesn’t open 2. Opens and then freezes phone and no apps can be sued 3. It freezes my phone and screen, and it restarts my whole phone! Annoying, please fix this massive issue!.Version: 5.1.0

Bad updateI like the app it is kinda good but when the update came, it was like night mode but worse I am sorry if you disagree with this.Version: 5.0.3

Kind of bummed ☹️Was once a great app and now it’s unreliable. Widget no longer updates on the spot like it used too, the app itself no longer automatically updates location regardless of having the Location always on. Hoping the next update will benefit us by fixing these issues. Second update: After seeing that many people are having the same issue of not being able to have a reliable app. They assume that everything is a singular issue and not a worldwide issue. They don’t seem to want to update the app and feel that singularly troubleshooting everyone’s app will work and it won’t. They don’t listen to you either when you tell them exactly what is happening. At this point I’m giving up on this app. Will have to try Life360 in hopes of something better. 😕 I’ve had this app for a few years now and I’m very disappointed that they care less about the issue and are more focused on making the app more aesthetically pleasing and like a social network. Update: Deleted the app and installed again, did nothing. Still hasn’t updated locations automatically. All settings are on correctly and still nothing unfortunately. Hoping for an update very soon..Version: 4.52.3

It has probably already been said by othersBut omg, this redesign is awful. It used to be such a joyful app, now it’s just black. BLACK. It’s not “ugly”, it genuinely gives me the creeps.Version: 5.0.2

NO!Used to love it before the up grade, but now the colors and design I’m definitely not a fan of. Every time I opened up this app, my phone would stop allowing other app to function even when I closed this app. I will have to shut my phone off and turn it back every time to function normally..Version: 5.1.0

(((There is another problem, yellow color is very uncomfortable, also my phone are block when i open it and i have to restart the phone because not working nothing.Version: 5.1.0

New designBack to old version please.Version: 5.0.0

Cannot change accountOmg I have two phones. Cannot change account. That’s ridiculous.Version: 4.49.0

Good but 🤬It’s a fabulous app but people can suspend your if if me and my friends plan to block you your I’d will be suspended for 24 hrs I am experiencing and now my I’d is suspended for 30 days this is not good if I there should be a valid reason for blocking and the tech team should verify the blocking reason but I am getting blocked several times ok first time I understood that sending too many requests leads to suspension but if you delete friends they can block you for deleting them as friends I don’t find this logical WhatsApp doesn’t suspend someone for getting blocked or any other app this is nonsense but the team is responsive and fabulous they cooperate a lot but I need my suspension canceled.Version: 4.64.0

Possible security and stalking problemsOverall apps really amazing. Colour, messaging system, location is precise even tells how quick you’re travelling, what the weathers like, indicates you’re at home or work or school. Thing is a major privacy and security threat. It shows where you live and where you work. Even on ghost mode, it implies to the person (on the frozen location” list) that he or she is being hidden away from, wow I mean what the...?! I don’t want my friends to know I put them in the frozen list, feels like this app is quite messed up. I just want some time alone lol and it has to tell everyone about it. Blurred mode’s even worse, it shows I am blurring my locations... come on, just keep our status invisible to other users ... isn’t that what these modes are for ? Jesus Christ , am I the only thinking like that ? It’s like telling my friends “ yeah I am hiding away from you because I am a jerk” Another thing is you Cannot delete the account unless you contact Zenly. So if I delete the account i will still be tracked down by “friends” even unwanted ones. If they can fix these, this app would be 200% better It feels really creepy and unsafe. Feels like it doesn’t treat privacy matters seriously..Version: 3.23.3

How the app can improve.Overall, the app itself is pretty great as of being a location - based app. It’s great that you can easily interact with friends and see where they constantly are. What I see as a problem is not having a “log out” option. As I was changing my phone to my new one, I have realized that Zenly doesn’t have an “Log out” option. In that case, I am pretty disappointed. If you have deleted the app, your friends would see the last location where were last and if you were to download it again, it would pop your account again! What if I have selled my phone to a stranger and they’ve found my account? Theyre going to hijack it. How am I going to log on back there on my new phone. Yeah, you’ll have to create a new account and add your friends all over again. Please reconsider this problem. Thank you..Version: 3.94.3

A shadow of its previous selfMe and my family has been avid zenly users since the first time the app came out on iPhone, recently they changed the UI, and have basically ruined the app, I am guessing they hired a consultant who told them they need to make the app more about social networking and less about tracking , and I guess the app at this point is unable to do anything in a nice cohesive fashion , it’s no longer obvious in the front end how you will go back to seeing the list of family members you have , instead you are shown how many friends you and the family member you are tracking has “in common”, how is that information relevant ? Please fire your product owner and the consulting firm that taking you on this path to obsolescence..Version: 5.6.1

Hard to use for the new updateNot sure if is just me or other people feel the same thing. The new update is a bit hard to use especially the new map layout..Version: 5.0.2

Ugly New UpdateThe new update is so ugly I was so shocked when I first opened the app. What kind of alien filter was that?! And why are everything in boxes. It makes me not wanna use the app again. Everyone I know hates the update. It was a cute and convenient app before, and now they made it so complicated and ugly. Plus you can no longer see how many people viewed your location, nor the hours you spent with your friends. That’s so annoying. Please change the app back to the old version or else you guys will lose all your users. You guys are going the old path of old Snapchat, where you guys continue to give worse updates each time..Version: 5.0.0

If it isn’t broke… don’t fix it.And yet they tried. They took the fun and colorful app and made it dull. It went from a seemingly finished and polished to the text now looking like it was designed by a high school programming class. It barely updates friends locations anymore, usually only showing me the day prior, or very laggy versions of their speed while driving. It makes it harder to actually select individual friends when compared to before. I have yet to see any good to come from the new update. Going to give Life360 a shot a see if it’s any better..Version: 5.0.2

Not happy with UpdateUsed to love this app with a group of selected friends. But since the update we haven’t been happy with it. Can you please update the app more like it used to be? Maybe cos I’m not interested in learning new functions. Would have been a 5 star if I did review before the new update. Thanks.Version: 5.2.2

Regarding the new horrible updateWhoever created this new design needs to be fired it’s horrible and the apps functions horrendously too - Post - I want to apologize because I got frustrated and wanted to say something, however I firmly believe that the new update is very non user friendly and that the older version was best. The new ones issue is that to find a friend it’s harder to view there location and the point where your located is so small. especially if you have a good amount of people added it’s impossible to find someone or even your own location lol..Version: 5.2.1

Zenly deleted my account for no reason!I’ve never written reviews before but this is just beyond sad and frustrating. So one day my account just disappeared. Yes like, boom, gone. I opened the app and it got logged out automatically, I tried logging in with my number but it created a new account. I tried contacting support and they said it’s permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. So I lost everything, footprints, friends. I mean the information has got to be somewhere right? On the website it even says it’ll be kept for 30 days. Not to say I didn’t even try deleting my account Zenly just did it. I’ll never be able to get those footprints back now, which is also the main reason I used Zenly. It’ll be impossible to get the same footprints either. The feeling is like having your memory card formatted by someone else. So unless they somehow miraculously found my old account back I don’t want to use this anymore. What if they deleted my account again? I don’t wanna be heartbroken twice. No I’m not giving them another chance. Am I the only one that experienced this? Wow unbelievable can I be more lucky than that. Wish I was lucky in other ways. A simple wish would just be to get my account back🙄🙄.Version: 4.33.2

DeletedI understand why the app requires continuous access to my location. However I don’t see why access to my contacts is necessary in order to use the app. I don’t think it’s strictly necessary even while setting up the app (Surely the app could have an option to add a friend’s details manually?) but even if this had to be the case, why does the app then refuse to open on subsequent occasions if I have revoked its access permission to my contacts list? Deleted..Version: 3.23.3

Bad updatePls remove the update it’s super hard to read the map and i can’t see how many times I’m checked by my friends anymore.Version: 5.0.0

Updated zenlySince the recent update you have changed the design and not easy to view. It crashes all the time (froze or went black). Friends locations were incorrect. I used to be able to tap at the side and it will show next contacts location now it doesn’t. Please revert to how it was..Version: 5.0.3

The new update is not so user friendlyI used to love the app. The map on the older version was so easy to read. I was able to view all the places I’ve ever been to so easily. The newer version makes the map look so complicated and the visual is so blurry. When I zoom in on the map, they make it so colorful now. I’m so confused to what all of the different the colors mean and what exactly am I looking at? And when I zoom out, I see nothing but plain white??? It keeps make me think there’s a bug in the app. Also, back then I was able to see how many friends viewed my location, now I cannot find that function whatsoever. Many of the new functions are just useless. I keep getting pop ups telling me to add a place, and I don’t even know what it means and what’s the use for that? I barely use the app ever since the update. Actually, this is a significant downgrade. I’m disappointed. The only reason I have not deleted the app is so that I could wait till maybe one day the app could change back to how it was before..Version: 5.7.0

Update sucksThe new World update sucks. Before I had my Zenly friends on the bottom, I could click on them to track them. Can’t do that anymore. I’ll find another gps family and friends tracker..Version: 5.0.2

Very Bad new versionIt’s really bad after update old version really nice.Version: 5.0.4

??So ugly, bring the old version back.Version: 5.0.0

Do not show our footprints to other usersPlease turn this function off or make it so that only friends we choose can see where we have been. I don’t want people snooping on where i’ve visited in the past..Version: 5.0.0

Don’t upgrade!!!Is there a way to use the old version instead of the new one? Wish could turn back to the old design..Version: 5.0.2

Terrible and creepyAnyone that willingly downloads this app doesn’t deserve a right to privacy. Why do you need to know where everyone is at all hours of the day and how much battery their phone has? This app is designed for stalkers and abusers and anyone who thinks this is a good idea is as stupid as the app developers. I hope you’re proud of yourselves, you’ve created the ultimate stalking app.Version: 4.31.1

Old > NewThe new update brought an interface that is not only harder to understand and use, but also unpleasant aesthetically. Wish there was an option to switch between new and old interfaces..Version: 5.0.2

Old VersionPlease bring old version back. New one is soo soo soo frustrating and worseeee..Version: 5.0.0

Account suspension because of adding friends??? Rubbish垃圾软件-rep, terrible App ever. My account just got suspended because of adding friends, zenly treat this as offensive activity and suspended my account. Such a disappointment. Zenly customer service can only repeat same sentences. ZERO problem solving ability. 垃圾软件因为加太多好友被视为骚扰??发骚扰信息被停用可以理解,我啥也没发只因为加了太多好友被账户停用??简直不可理喻!弱智客服一点问题解决不了。这边建议原地卸载☺️☺️.Version: 4.60.0
