Keep being asked if I am on it, I say no, and it all goes quiet...why should I use it, its an app apparently, so how do I explain that on my phone, rather than being on here via Google, much easier to be "discreet" happy to be persuaded if anyone can fill me in with what I'm missing? |

From what I can gather, it's more used so that people get the notifications when messaging.
I use it because well, I don't mind. Private messaging system that give notifications are good.
Its all about preference. |

My official response is that I don’t have it but I’m truth I used it for someone I actively want to message and I get alerts on it
If I see people with their Kik contact details on their profile it is a MASSIVE turn off as they clearly accept message from anyone and everyone, implies no standards |

It's just another IM app, there are so many out there and yet I find I rarely use any of them much. Nowadays people either want to use Snapchat, kik, wickr, telegram, WhatsApp and goodness knows what else. All I find is that after a while my adhd kicks in and I can't keep up with the chats any more.
One thing I did find on Kik was that there are some quite good group chat rooms on there but then they are limited to 49 users and so unless you are super active on there and post at least every hour, you get 'kik'd' from them as soon as you get busy with doing things IRL. Weirdly there are people out there that think that someone requesting to use one of the aforementioned apps rather than SMS is a clear sign they're in a relationship and cheating although I reckon that's just bollocks tbh |

We used to have Kik as it was good and completely anonymous but then someone else brought it and it started recommending people we might know from our contacts. Not something I wanted so we stopped using it. |

I find it's just a platform for video calling and going on cam which I don't do I don't like it so don't have it. I've had many men go quiet once I've told them I don't have it but that's no great loss. Not worth it if that puts them off x |

We have Kik, have used it but found it to have been more the fantasists asking for pictures and video clips.
I'm not stating everyone uses it that way, just what we've come across.
Still have it, don't tend to use it.
Great for picture swapping it seems, if that's your thing, it isn't ours though |

I think that most of the people on here are on kik too xx I've been on it for years x it's a good way to keep in touch with family abroad etc x it's also a good way to swap pics and videos and chat x  |
