“Most people are Awesome.. Some people have no respect for your time and make you jump through hoops for nothing. Others just get it done. I’ve learned not to hold anything for anyone. Lost too many sales over broken promises. Money talks BS walks. In God we trust. All others pay cash.”

“App-only!. I can’t use messenger anymore now that I’ve removed all meta apps from my phone. I deleted most of my meta accounts and now just use 1 FB profile online after a tech privacy expert recommended getting all meta apps off my phone. They are probably the number 1 offender stealing our data, or maybe tied with Google!”

“No customer support. I was blocked on Facebook which carries over to messenger. I cannot find anyone to help me. The AI support is malarkey. I cannot communicate with family. I have tried everything I can think of. A 72 hour hold Has turned into a 30 day hold for something I never did. No warning meta just shut everything down. Years and years of work. I would never recommend a meta product to anyone because if you need help they is none at meta to help you.”

“Broken AI chat. The AI feature is completely broken. It no longer appears in my chat list, so I can’t delete full conversations. Because of that, the app is slow, so I have to go through and delete every individual correspondence with the AI. Now I can’t even do that. The app freezes if I click delete. FA dawg.”

Where these numbers come from
App details: Apple iTunes Search API, updated Oct 28, 2026, 2:13 PM UTC.
Rankings: App Store chart positions we collect several times a day. A missing rank doesn't mean zero.
Downloads and revenue: AppTrendKit estimates, not official Apple or developer numbers. Revenue is what users spend, before Apple's commission.
Model: public-signal-ensemble-v6. Ranges get wider when we have less data.
Confidence: Low · generated Nov 2, 2026, 6:15 AM UTC · window Oct 3, 2026 – Nov 1, 2026.
Country figures are each storefront's own chart-based estimate and never show more confidence than the worldwide figure. Worldwide downloads can be higher than their sum: they also count storefronts where the app doesn't chart (priced from rating activity) and storefronts we don't track.
