Really cool app! So many filters to choose from, AND they just added about 7 more! Now there are like 50! It gets glitchy sometimes but if you just close and reopen the app it's usually fine. Only 4 because of the frequent glitches but other than that, it's great. oh wait also the filters with sound have no sound anymore. VERY ANNOYING please fix!

My family has been using this app for some years and it was working pretty good up until Sept '24. Now, I can't login on certain devices. I keep getting stuck in a loop. I've restarted the app, device, uninstall, and reinstalled the app. Nothing works. There isn't anyway to contact their support team either. I'm only giving it 1 star in hopes of this helping this particular bug get resolved.

It was working at first, now it's sending me through a neverending cycle of logging me out and logging back in. I have 2 child profiles and when I want to switch profiles to another child, I receive an error message that something went wrong and to ask a grown-up for help. Then I have to through the whole password process AGAIN!! I can't get back in! It's the most frustratjng experience ever because it's an unending loop and I don't know how to break it. Seriously FB?! What is this???
