    • Inconsistent and problematic verification process, often requiring international calls instead of SMS codes, leading to frustration and inability to create accounts or log in.
    • Frequent account disabling without clear reasons, requiring repetitive verification which affects user accessibility and experience.
    • Buggy performance with issues in playing voice messages, app consuming excessive battery, and issues with audio settings ignoring volume controls.
    • Cluttered interface filled with unnecessary features like stickers and ads, which detracts from the primary messaging function of the app.
    • Missing essential features like in-app translation that are available in other platforms, along with limitations on multi-device usage and data storage on devices.
    Most mentioned
    • Failed registration and verification issues, particularly regarding SMS codes and account disabling.
    • Poor customer service with no effective solutions provided for serious account issues.
    • App performance issues including slow speeds, excessive battery drain, and problems with audio during calls and messages.

    This app doesn't have cloud servers for each group chat so the data is stored on your devices, so the app data is going to be MASSIVE. Also you can have more than 1 device to be logged in that have the same operating system. IMO, this app is at bottom rock tier, you don't want to use this app for multitasking, work, school. Instead, use Messenger or other online communication apps. (They also removed j-pop from personal page, i want to rate this app 0 star so bad).

    I'm unable to sign up. It asks to send a text to a certain number, I've done it twice already, it says "Code not received". Then a few minutes later: "Your code has expired". Spent $2 on nothing. If you only support certain countries, SAY SO. Don't make people waste their money and time.

    If you play a voice message, is sounds from the earpiece (so quiet), but if you put the phone to your ear, it switches to speakerphone (so loud). If you pull away, it switches back to earpiece (too quiet). Zalo ignores volume settings. If you connect BT headphones, it's silent while playing and you can't hear it on any speaker or headset. I think the devs must use WhatsApp so they have no idea how bad they failed
