Can't even sign up. It keeps on telling me "Unusual network or device environment. Try using a stable connection". The earlier stage of verification is also having problems. Like "choose two trees in winter" I pressed it, it said success then failed. Which one do you want? What's even the point of asking for it if it's not going to work. What's up with "invite another user to complete registration"? Unnecessary steps. I don't know if the devs are going to read this but fix those issues asap

The QR code doesn't even work when i do ask friends all it says is it's expired. When I search it it says it's either expired or deleted. I can't sign up at all. It's annoying, I've been trying everything you can think of I tried deleting it, clearing data,clearing cache and re installing it but stilll the qr code doesn't work. Please fix this because not even signing up via Facebook works I really need to use this app in order to communicate in china.

Spent 20min trying to set up a WeChat account. A constant loop of asking for verifications, and to topic off they wanted to use a bank card and take money out of your account. One of the most frustrating apps to use. There is a reason why WhatsApp is popular. Its set up is easy and straightforward, they don't ask for money as verification and the WhatsApp is far more superior in everyday use. Additionally is the app opens itself everytime your in a conversation with someone (no privacy).
