"Looking for chat and cam conversations with others."

January 18, 2013  |   By tlredd54

Version: Paltalk Messenger 10.2

Pros

Paltalk has a great way to allow people to chat and cam at the same time without being booted out by the system.

Cons

I don't like the little time they give you to see another chatter's cam before it closes the cam.

Summary

Great software, I will try it for a while with the free version but may not stay with paltalk very long.

""AVOID AT ALL COSTS""

December 19, 2012  |   By airbourneranger

Version: Paltalk Messenger 9.8

Pros

NONE whatsoever stay clear of.

Cons

Save your 65 bucks as it will cost you 4 times that to get your computer fixed.Total waste of time contacting them as they never reply.No matter which room you try the entire conversation can be summed up in one word... TUNE! Forget messaging anybody as all you will get is a box saying the user doesnt accept them.On the rare occasion an administrator does talk to you,its in a patronizing manner asking you to verify your age.

Summary

You have been warned save your money and do yourself a favour.

"Whatever you are looking for on chat is here."

November 11, 2012  |   By k4ebin

Version: Paltalk Messenger 10.2

Pros

Plenty of chat rooms ranging from politics, music, adult oriented,etc. Disruptive people who is only there to annoy people do get booted from rooms as compared to Yahoo. Ability to view cams without asking for permission as opposed to Yahoo.

Cons

Free version has ads in which some are infected with trojan horses and viruses. Paid version has no ads.

Summary

I read reviews where people complain about Paltalk on issues such as admins bouncing and banning folks. As long as you treat people with respect and have the ability to follow simple rules that are posted. If you gonna harass , pester or insult people then you might have trouble staying in most rooms unless it's a insult or drama chatroom. Chatrooms have owners who started the room or paid money to have a room that has a larger member capacity then allowed. The rules vary from chatroom to chatroom depending if its rated G, R, or Adult and its individual owner. Adult rooms has a warning that that they may contain content inappropriate for members under the age of 18 and prohibits members under 18 from entering. Some rooms seem stupid such as no underlines on text but if you don't like it you are free to start your own room in which you can make the rules as you please. Sometimes people and personalities clash as expected in chatrooms and they are warned to stop and take it to a private instant message. They usually are hardheaded and don't listen then they are bounced even though one or both parties may think they were in the right. The reason is most people come here to have fun and have a good time and didn't come there to be bothered with stupid drama from these people. They do have rooms specifically for people who like drama and conflict called drama rooms in which anything goes. Nicknames have different colors depending if its free (color black) or what level of paid subscription(blue, green,purple or yellow) it is. You can buy virtual gifts if you want to give to another if that is your thing.There's usually between 25 and 45 thousand members in paltalk and its various chat rooms at any giving time. I use to believe maybe it was only maybe 2 to 3 thousand members at any given time until i did an actual count and counted up to 36,000 members before i tired and gave up 75 percent though the count. From the numbers i counted Paltalk is especially huge overseas internationally. Overall it is a very good program.

Updated on Nov 11, 2012

Actually i counted 36,000 members halfway though before i tired and gave up so Paltalk number of 85,466 members in 5,105 room may be correct.

"Cesspit for nasty people."

May 27, 2012  |   By timboathome2day

Version: Paltalk Messenger 10.2

Pros

Paltalk was a fun place to be once.
Good at taking your money for silly gifts or colored nic's

Cons

Paltalk is a place for people to make life a living hell for others because the customer service is useless, unless you wish to spend money. They spy on you in private pm's that you think are private, they turn your cam on without your knowledge & they can assess your hard drive without you knowing. Some of the red admins are totally rude and if they dont know the answer to something or the question you ask is pointed at paltalk then they will red dot you. If a co-admin does not like you they will just remove you from the lobbys for no good reason, how UN-professional is that; if you have a paid nic then u have every right to be there. People steel your private information. Mr rufusjunior, your remark about "Eventually there will probably be some tragic crime committed" Too late, in a room somebody was feeling down so some of the users egged him on to hang himself on cam, so he did. So yes i think Cesspit is rather apt for Paltalk.

Summary

If you are a nasty person or you don't care about yourself or your privacy being taken, then paltalk is the place to be.

"Company Rated F by Better Business Bureau"

May 18, 2012  |   By theblahs

Version: Paltalk Messenger 10.2

Pros

1. Fun to chat if you have time to waste.

Cons

1. poor customer service 2. poor tech assistance 3. Better Business Bureau rates the company an F as of this writing today 4. people can add you to their chat list and you are not notified 5. people can copy photos from your profiles very easily 6. ages not enforced--too easy for people to lie about ages on their profiles. 7. allow unlimited ID's for people so you do not know if person chatting with has another ID and they chatted with you under that ID. 8. many "gliches" or bugs such as lost sound, rooms not loading properly..

Summary

Not worth the money because of poor customer service. The company does earn it's F rating by the BBB.
