TOP INSIGHTS

A weekly roundup of PNK – chat now's key feedback

1

Payment Barrier

A significant number of users, approximately 20%, express frustration over the need to pay to access basic features like seeing who added them or reacted to their photos. This payment requirement is seen as a barrier to the app's primary purpose of making connections.

I can't even do anything without paying for something; this app should make it free to see who added you.

2

Unclear Value

Around 15% of users are dissatisfied with the unclear value proposition of the premium features, feeling that the app's core functions should be free, especially when the app is marketed as a platform for making friends.

What's the point of downloading an app to make friends if you have to pay to see them?

3

Limited Free Features

Approximately 10% of users are unhappy with the limited functionality available without a subscription, which restricts their ability to interact and connect with others effectively.

You can't talk to anyone unless you pay the 'unblur'; how am I supposed to talk to people if I can't see who added me?

4

Subscription Frustration

About 5% of users express annoyance with the subscription model, particularly the automatic renewal process, which they find inconvenient and potentially misleading.

They legit want you to pay for every little thing; can't even see the people who text you unless you pay.
