Honk Reviews

by ._.SY._.

I love Honk its such a fun way to talk to people but there are a few issues. When I leave a chat for someone to see and leave and come back later I see that the last few letters of the chat were deleted, this has happened a lot. Also notifications in Honk glitch sometimes to where it wont go away, not a huge deal since exiting and opening Honk again fixes the issue. Other than the issues I think theres a few things that would make Honk more enjoyable. Group chats would be a really great add since only having be able to talk to one person at a time can be limiting. This one might be a stretch but I think adding a little time somewhere on someones message profile when you click them showing their timezone and what time it is for them currently would be a great add since the this app feature can be annoying for someone if its late at night. The person would see that it is late at night for them and not bother them. Adding to this another idea would be to add an ability to create an online status, i.e. "online" "sleeping" "busy" etc. etc. to show if they are busy or not. This being able to be changed by the person.

When i first got Honk , it was great, such a great idea and i loved it. It was good for the first few days but recently my app has been stuck in a glitch or something. Everytime i try to find new people it says that there’s no one every single time. I thought maybe there actually is no one but i asked one of my friends who uses Honk and they find people no problem. I tried deleting Honk and reinstalling but the problem is still there. If that wasnt a problem, this would be a 5 star app for me and honestly im surprised that it hasnt blown up, its such a great app. Thank you.

Every time that I join Honk I always have so much fun and I really love it it’s fun and easy to make friends with but when I try to go to settings and edit my profile if I tap on my own icon I cannot edit anything it kicks me straight out of Honk and I basically cannot do anything on Honk so I don’t know if this is just a meet problem and if I should really be writing a review for this but even when I delete and reinstall Honk it still does not work I would love if you could tell me how to fix this

I love Honk but I met THE NICEST PERSON EVER and we talked for over an hour on the meet friends part and then they said they had to go and we were going to add eachother and we pressed add friend at the same time and it said “you already added this person” or something like that and then I went to go send them a message saying bye and they weren’t added as a friend and now I’m really upset because I was looking forward to talking to them and now I can’t because of a bug. Considering that Honk is designed to make friends I don’t think I can give 5 whole stars if a bug that can cause you to not be friends with someone even though you add them exists. Please fix this I’m literally so upset because of it I hate when stuff like this happens all I wanted was a good friend and now I can’t talk to them again. So just please please fix that bug if you can!

The whole system is like a more convenient Omegle which is great for me because the only reason I never used Omegle is because I didn’t want to use my voice or face. The people I’ve talked to on there have had no bad experiences and neither have I, but there are some things that should probably be added.
The first I’d recommend is like people have said before, a status system like on discord where you can’t put if you are busy, offline, online, etc.
Some formatting changes for the system, like a guide for new people after they chat for the first time.
Group chats would be fun, especially when you’re meeting people for the first time.

It’s all real time, which is such a cool concept for a texting app. I hate calling people, but if I want a conversation that feels more genuine and personal than normal texting, this is it! I love how easy it is to type something and then just press the button in the bottom right to clear it. I was a bit worried since this is a new app that they wouldn’t have such conveniences, but I was mistaken. I’m also a big fan of magic words! You type something and a flurry of emojis appear. Also love how cute the symbols are for when you this app, and that the sound isn’t annoying! I hate the beeps and rings of normal notifications so this is good! My only problem is that the text bubble gets too full, too fast, and I think the text size should have an option to be lower. Also, I heard that they are working on group chats!?? Which would be really cool, but also pretty chaotic. That’s will probably be part of the fun tho, lol! If they make the text sizes adjustable I’ll make my review a 5! Happy honking

Honk is great! I’ve been trying to make new friends, and that app does just that! The UI is clean, Honk is not buggy at all, and it is easy to use. I have a couple suggestions tho. It would be nice if there was more interest. Y’all really got a lot of great interest, but lots of things are over specific while some interest are too general. Also, I think you should add Religions and Fandoms. Lastly, I think it would be nice if you could add interest filters when looking for new friends. Other than that, Honk is nice and clean. Keep up the good work

love Honk. super fun and great if you don’t want cluttered DMs or messages filled with stuff from months ago. i think a groupchat function would be a HUGE plus, though. maybe 4 people at max so you could do like a grid thing? something! it’d also be nice if we could pick 10 magic words to have available for us in ALL chats. there are some funny ones i always add immediately in a new chat and it’s a little annoying to have to retype them every time. other than those two things and possibly adding dark mode, it’s great!

by Dobbyfan101

this is literally the best app i have ever used in my life, it's so fun BUT i have a suggestion: maybe you can have more sound options for when you this app someone? i really like the noise but imagine if when you click this app there's just an actual this app, i think that would amazing. also i think there should be more emoji options for when they cover the screen, but other than that i love Honk so much

by Therealdtm15

This is a wonderful app, I believe there is lots of potential to expand and attract more people. Some suggestions I think would be great is having games inside the chat room. Simple games like tic tac toe, drawing competitions etc. would boost people’s interest in Honk . In addition to more people connecting because some people like myself are left with, nobody to talk to at the moment, notify when there is someone new.

Honk is wonderful, it brings so much joy to me and my friend when we chat on it together. i love the magic words and how you guys advertise. y’all have taste and I like it, would recommend to all of my other friends. And the new update is fire, i love the bio update. Great typing app. STAN this app FOR CLEAR SKIN, once a fellow honker always a fellow honker. Also you have caught a lot of gen Z’s eyes with your advertising, keep doing it like that, and you guys will have one of the greatest apps of all time. 🙂

GIRL Honk IS SO COOL. I love how you can see what theyre typing and can be able to add magic words. The only suggestion I would make is to have it be possible to mame group chats. I would also really like for it to be more like regular typing where you can send the message to them to see the message and not only them typing. yk what I mean? like where you can see your previous conversations instead of getting it deleted. BUT OTHER THAN THAT Honk IS REALLY GOOD!!!

by Simpfor2D

I text a lot in just normal messages but I always wonder what te other person is typing when they take forever and it just feels like we aren’t really talking. However with Honk you can see what they are saying and they have to be honest with you, or at least think before they type. I like it and it help for me to idk kinda just say what’s on my mind instead of thinking it out and not saying stuff I wanna say. Great app!

by RyeCups

Honestly with everything added already Honk is super fun to use, but it’s lacking group chat capabilities!! Also when you’re in a chat with someone, and click the top right to edit chat settings, the other person sees that you’re “in chat” and will keep typing, but you can’t see what they’re typing because you’re in the chat settings. So maybe add a feature that says “user is in chat settings”. Thank you!!

Honk brought a very fresh spin on messaging friends and family, and, as it is only in version 1, I can’t wait to see where it goes from here. Besides all of my mindless suggestions below Honk is something new. I don’t know how to word it past what I said above. This idea is a very good one and I give praise to the team who developed it.

First things first it definitely needs a dark mode. At this point dark mode is almost required for any social media app.

Also another thing I would like to see is maybe a copy and paste option for magic words, so that way it is easier to apply them to other friends. This way for a word like “Hi” (wave emoji) I don’t have to retype in Hi and find the same emoji.

On the topic of emojis I would also love to see the utilization of “recently used emoji” that way I don’t have to scroll to find my favorite ones.

by Mrmrkhanman

An extremely clever way to rework textual interaction which is doubly a joy to use with its design and specifically sound design!! There’s so much potential for Honk and the most glaring area for exploration is definitely group chat. Currently not available on Honk but would be extremely interesting to see how a Group-this app would work!! Although I am glad that they debuted focusing squarely on the 1 on 1 interaction aspect because I feel like the concept serves that really well. Overall super excited !!

by HappyBirthdayJess

Honk really helps with the tone of how someone is texting, like I can tell how my friends feel just on how fast their typing and it cuts out the stress of sending a text because you both can see what the other person is typing.

I’d say Honk is good for quick conversation that you don’t want saved because everything is in real time, and it’s a good way to quickly get ahold of someone.

The only downside I’d say is that there no dark theme for when you wanna text late at night, and you can’t make small group chats.

by Watseed14

yes it’s good oh yes well basically yes. LOVE ITTT 😛 love the reactions and love that you can customize them 😵 it would be great if you could choose around twice as many reactions and just scroll to get to them or something 🤷‍♀️ ALSO love the magic words ‼️they add so much to the convos‼️ maybe if you could apply the magic words to all the chats instead of just one at a time 🐸 and 50 is a lot but more or unlimited magic words would be cool 😏 oh and i don’t have friends but groupchats 🦖🦖 so me and my parents can talk together yk ⁉️ hey and some more chat colors 😳 ANYWAY it’s great just these things would make it even more swaggy 🤯

Honk is so fun and i love using it ive made like 5 friends already. yeah i love i had it for abt a day now 😁😁. i love the pronoun thing because i don’t have to ask anymore AND I LOVE THE ZODIAC THING😍😍. cause i hate geminis (nothing personal y’all are just idk) and when i see a capricorn i get so excited because i love capricorn’s 💯💯💯.ANYWAYS i love the people on there super cool supa rad 😫 i do wish there was a way to have like custom colors not just the templates but that’s just a small change it doesn’t really matter. also it would be nice to see the people you recently talked to (not just friends) so like you could request them because i’ve lost like 3 besties i made😃😃🤌🏽. BUT YES I LOVE THIS and the this app button is amazing 🏃‍♀️🌟

by Kitty Kat2457910

I love this app so much!!! It’s my favorite app it’s so much better than regular texting! it’s so fun and funny! I love all the sound effects so much, Honk is so cute and satisfying. I definitely would recommend this app to everyone ever! I’m currently making all my friends get this app. My favorite thing is that there isn’t a this app limit (at least I don’t think there is). My friend let me this app them 2,779 times and let me tell you, that was the most entertaining thing I’ve done since the pandemic started.

by Tribalrider

You did guys, you made the best app. Congratulations.

by Ronster23

Most enjoyable way to chat, fun and exciting!

by Jacobbijani

Been testing this app from the beginning, it’s my favorite way to communicate now. Texting feels like using a fax machine now.

by Lydian04

What would be cool if you could choose the background to be a different color or have a dark mode. And also an explore like page to add people

by YO MAMA12344444555666

really cool idea. surprised it hasn’t been made before!

by Colsonboy

I love this idea, it really cuts out the lag-time in texting and feels much more human and fun!

by Ihatetedhastings69

Great idea and it was well executed. The sound it makes when you press the this app button is very satisfying.

by Aquaticassassin1

The way conversations flow in this app is unlike anything else. A truly unique experience, I highly recommend.

by Josh Enleft

It’s such a fresh and cool and hip and rad idea that is done super well! Get it before it blows up!

by Slieth

Had to get used to the idea of live messages, but it is definitely a fresh and exciting idea.

by Shoeclerk13

The real-time messaging makes this app unique. It’s a fantastic product!

by Anna Is Awsome!

Today is my first day using this messaging app and I already know it’s going to be one of my favorites. I love how you can see people’s thoughts & final thoughts in real time. Very sweet. Sharing with everyone I know :)

by Jgrinny

This is the most fun I’ve had on a messaging app. Period.
