Zenly - your world Positive Reviews
Great for trackingI primarily use this app to check where my friends and family are throughout the day. A few days ago, my friend’s backpack was stolen with theirs, and another friend’s phone in it. We reported it to the police, but it seemed that they don’t care and couldn’t really do much about it. We took it into our own hands and tracked the thief down ourself. Zenly accurately pinpoints the location of the phone as long as it is not turned off or out of battery. Thankfully, my friend’s phone still had 20% battery left. Me and a group of friends chased down who we suspected was the thief with the cops, but the suspect claimed he did not have the phone even though the tracker was pinpointing him. The cops couldn’t search people without a warrant, so he got away and turned off the phone, so that we couldn’t track him. 2 days later, we noticed that zenly updated my friends location again. We immediately went to the last location and spotted the same person. This time the cops were allowed to search his belongings and we found the phone, although it was in filthy condition. Unfortunately, we couldn’t find the other friend’s phone which did not have zenly downloaded. The thief was arrested and we got my friend’s phone back. Hurray for zenly!.1ts_k311yVersion: 5.5.2
Very useful!I don't use zenly much in my life, because I don't have many friends, and I don't always need to find out where they are, but once this app really helped me! I am from Russia, and in December of the last year there was very heavy snow, and the whole street was covered in snowdrifts. my friend and I were walking late at night when it was dark after school, and when we almost reached the bus stop, my friend dropped that she had lost her phone. there was a terrible panic for both of us, cause it was new, but I remembered about zenly. this app indicated the location of the phone exactly to the meter! he fell deep into a snowdrift, but he was lucky that he was whole:) thanks!.MmarushkkaVersion: 5.7.0
Amazing, but the update?Zenly is a great app that my friends and I use on the daily. I’ve used the app for years at this point and I love all the features it provides. However this newest update completely changed the visual design of the entire app. Now instead of the fun quirky app that I could spam my friend with emojis or watching the old lady doing jazzersize at the center of the earth, I now am faced with a bland app design full of programs and elements I see in plenty of other apps. The visual fun of the app has been taken away. The emojis were childish and fun and now they are crystallized and hyper realistic and somewhat resemble a shiny Pokémon but without the benefits of supposedly being a better version. As of now it seems most functions have reminded the same but some of the Easter eggs of the app no longer exist. I’ll probably still use the app but now I have less of a reason to check zenly instead of find my friends or apps of the same category..IhaveareviewthxVersion: 5.0.0
The new update is just not it :(Hey zenly, I really appreciate how you wanted to start a new chapter and leave the past behind. My friends and I truly love zenly and it’s cartoonized/gamified user interface. However, (I’m so sorry to say this but) the new update actually disappointed many of us. The new UI is no longer cute or user friendly. The new emojis are not adorable nor fun at all, please bring back the old ones. And how the place names are displayed with underscores is just so not aesthetic lol. The new font style is not as cute as the old ones. The whole black color theme makes the app look so dull and gloomy. The new icons also don’t look as cute as how they were before. However, I do like the new “check-ins” feature, it sounds interesting! BUT PLEASE bring back the old UI if possible. Genuinely requesting. Thanks!.Bring back the old UI plsssVersion: 5.0.0
Amazing appI love this app . The best gps app ever! It stays in even if background is down or when battery dies once person turns phone back on it's on . As a mother this is a gift!
Update : this used to be the best tracking app until lately . With each update it started to mess up . It is now no longer tracking and the person is in sane place fir days . I had both phones with me just to see and still it could not locate . It said reasoning was off , no service , hiding from me etc but all were impossible as I has the phone . I will delete permanent soon of can't get too work . Sad as I campaign this app at work but lately it's being disappointing.Philpott meVersion: 4.1.2
Friends locations keep not updatingI started out really liking this app and I still enjoy it being able to see where my friends and family are at but recently within the last month I have been having trouble updating my friends locations I do not think it is my device I believe it is theirs they haven’t froze their location or done anything but from time to time more often than not now their location will remain in the same spot for more than two days and then all of a sudden it randomly will pick up and find them I hope the app can find a solution to this problem soon other than that really like the app..Truckinman2018!Version: 4.36.0
Blocked!I would give at least a 3 star rating but Zenly keeps taking my husbund off because too many people block him🤨! What's up with that!?
We'll I was contacted by the developer of Zenly and they are sorry to hear about the trouble my husbund was having. I am just wondering how are these people able to block your if they are not ever your friend? A person happens to see you as a suggested friend and don't like you so they can block you and you don't know who they are.
Over all Zenly does pretty good. I do know no app out there is going to be 100% accurate so keep up the good work Zenly..DeckeredVersion: 3.92.0
Please don’t goZenly has been the app that I always check on my phone, it can help me to find where my family members are and it’s been a really fun app. I have used this for almost 2years and I have to say it’s great for distance friends to still connect to each other. I loved the update and how it keeps track of all the places I’ve been to. It’s so sad to see news about zenly shutting down. If you guys have made a setting to ask us to pay for a monthly subscription I would definitely say yes..WanxnnxVersion: 5.6.7
LOVE! WORRIED WIFEI love this app it is so up to date and on point to the exact location! ( it even lets you know what percentage the other persons phone is on and if they are charging there phone(random) but cool) Anyway! My husband works grave yard an hour away so when i wake up in the middle of the night worried i like to check zenly to see if he is safe on his drive home. I love this app so much! It is perfect it shows how fast they are going and is 100% accurate! Waaay better then iphones “find friends”, anyways thank you this app is a blessing! -sincerely a worried wife.GeethanqVersion: 3.23.3
Update ):I love zenly and i have used the apps for years and thus gaining lots of pops for adding friends and family. i prefer zenly over other find my friends type apps but this update makes me saddd - i know it’s a change and maybe i just don’t like change but i thought the old color scheme and emojis were way cuter. the buttons have moved around and my mom texted me about it saying “why did zenly update?” 😭 it would be super amazing if there was a toggle on how you want the app to be viewed ? i love my zenly and the features available but the new LOOK of it is killing mee.Jay πVersion: 5.0.0
This app doesn't look as fun as it used to.The old zenly was this charming fun app, it had character and it made using this app quite the experience. It didn't look like any of the other messaging apps, which brought me back to using zenly,even the app icons were cute. The dms were incredibly fun, the little talking guy on the bottom left was always a conversation starter, it was like he was the one saying "zenly!". These new features and continued support are great, but can we please return to the previous visual aesthetic of the app, This new visual update lacks the soul brought by the previous editions. Thank you for such a positive messaging experience..Trying 100 wordsVersion: 5.0.0
New version update April 2022 not goodI like the most this app real-time tracker with even speed, traffic & charging etc. but now new version is not good. It’s so complicated not that easy as it before. Now can’t see speed when moving can’t see charging and now can’t see traffic too and many more I can’t access easily. So my request to developers please don’t make it so complicated. Try to make it more easy. We like this app. But really new version is not we like it. I hope you will understand and make it more easy. Thanks.RubalGopalVersion: 5.0.0
Worst update of all times3d map feature is gone , all the map is yellow without any explanation and without any options , i have no idea why did they provide this new features , instead , i would start from working on optimization because map still takes 15 seconds to load or doesn’t load at all. Love zenly , but the last update is just pain..Freee userVersion: 5.0.2
Awesome app but one more thingThe app is super good and I love it. It’s so accurate and up to date, but one thing i don’t like is that it says you were watched by 3 friends and it has no names. I hope you guys don’t ignore me, the reason why I am giving this app 4 stars and not 5 is because you can’t see who you were watched by. My family is big and I have like 8 friends in Zenly and I would like to know who watch me and who doesn’t. But other than that everything is perfect. Please fix this and let us know who watched us. Thank you..Maikol RodriguezVersion: 3.30.1
Cool but…The app is cool, but I found out one thing I don’t like is people who have my phone number, when they created a new account using their phone number, they can found my account by friend suggestion. I did turn on all of the private mode on my main account and when I testing by using my second phone number to created one new account, my main account still pop up on the testing account’s friend suggestion. Can producer fix that?
Thank you so much.Heyyo019283747Version: 5.7.0
About the updateIts a great app, but i would like to suggest one thing about the update. Maybe you could consider a dark and light mode. This new update could be the dark mode and the way the app used to be could be the light mode. Also we could switch between them and that would be really use full. Don't get me wrong i like the new update as its different but i think giving us consumers the options to interchange will improve the experience..Ur_average_terroristVersion: 5.0.0
ProblemThis app is perfect with communicating with your friends and family even your sneaky link. But theirs just one problem it told me I bumped with someone when I didn’t and told me to add him as a friend which worry’s me cause he could get my location if I would’ve accepted his friend request. I wanted to write this review to let the creators of this app that their might be a way for people to bump with out actually bumping and it can lead to tracking and etc. please fix this..BklynnoahVersion: 4.63.0
Love it!!! 😍🥰🤪This app is soooo much better than Life360:
1. No annoying check-in button 🥂, which it feels like you’re spying on others & YES, it’s programming people…JUST OPEN APP AND CHECK ON YOUR LOVED ONE!
2. The visual/graphics are spectacular
3. I love the cute lil messages when you open the app for the first time daily
4. The emoticons are absolutely adorable but I wish there was no limit to them based on added family/friends. Our children aren’t old enough yet to join or their devices aren’t compatible or they are just not interested (adult son)
5. The only issue truly is not being able to use the app on my iPhone SE (Memory Issues creates shutdowns or restarts)
All in All, I Love It! 🥹🥳🤩🤗👍🏾👍🏾.Michalea McGeeVersion: 5.1.0
MY FAVORITE APP BY FAR 😍😄🙌This app is a life saver!!! All of my best friends use it to keep up with one another. We pretty much stopped the group chats we had in other apps as we don’t need to send where are you messages to see what everyone is doing anymore. I’ve had so many fun nights that never would have happened thanks to Zenly. Loving the new feature that lets me see everywhere I’ve been too btw. YOU SHOULD REALLY TRY THIS APP!!.Neoness46Version: 3.26.0
Can we please go back to the childish cute layout ?I’ve used zenly for a while to stay in touch in a fun way with my family who is in another country as I am. I was proud on seeing my percentage covered. And loved spamming my friends with emojis. Please please let’s go back to how it was. Pleaaaase
I’m really sorry to say this I know that there’s always a lot of work before an update but my friends and me included have been so I satisfied with the new update that have stopped using it :(.RogerThatWolfVersion: 5.0.0
Great appI love the app but would love it better if I could turn off the emojis. Is there any way that you could add that feature in settings. I know some folks love the emojis but to me they are in the way. An on/off option in settings would be great for those of us that like really simple no frills.
Thank you for a really helpful app..NDNhorsegirlVersion: 4.24.0
After updatesHi. Zenly is a great app that I could see the distance between me and my friends. The old layout and interface are just clear and understandable. But one day my phone automatically update the latest version. Everything just looks weird and confusing. I saw a lot of other users complain about it. We do prefer the old version of zenly. We want it back:(._傻了吧雯Version: 5.0.2
Amazing but not as before last updateHi Zenly Team,
Thank you very much for your hard work to make our life easier and full of fun. The new update made the app completely different and difficult to use. I spoke to a lot of users who has the same opinion. Could you please bring back old version and make us happy again. Thank you very much for your understanding and support. We love you all and appreciate your hard work!!.Shavkat SaliheenVersion: 5.3.1

Unfortunately, for now anyway, the new version doesn’t allow us to disable our “footprint” view on the map. I find it pretty annoying specially that I honestly don’t care where I’ve been.
Please give us an option to disable “footprint” layer..Eagle-tsiVersion: 5.0.0
Mauvaise applicationZenly recule. Je tente de retrouver les miens et je n’y arrive pas. Le fonctionnement de votre application est nulle par rapport à l’ancienne.

Missing some featuresHi, so about this new update I have some requests. Congrats on starting a new chapter in your life but this new update seems lacking. I was once able to Zoom in to see what’s under my friends but that features now either gone or not working. The feature that gave us the emotes while texting is now replaced with just the mic and if you want to send emotes to someone, you can’t through messaging, you have to go into the main screen and click on your friend to do so. I don’t like how that’s been changed, maybe you just forgot to add it but please re-add it back, it’s very tedious to have to get out the messaging screen just to send emotes to your friends..Yuunoa10Version: 5.0.0

Zenly - your world Negative Reviews
Kind of bummed ☹️Was once a great app and now it’s unreliable. Widget no longer updates on the spot like it used too, the app itself no longer automatically updates location regardless of having the Location always on. Hoping the next update will benefit us by fixing these issues. Second update: After seeing that many people are having the same issue of not being able to have a reliable app. They assume that everything is a singular issue and not a worldwide issue. They don’t seem to want to update the app and feel that singularly troubleshooting everyone’s app will work and it won’t. They don’t listen to you either when you tell them exactly what is happening. At this point I’m giving up on this app. Will have to try Life360 in hopes of something better. 😕 I’ve had this app for a few years now and I’m very disappointed that they care less about the issue and are more focused on making the app more aesthetically pleasing and like a social network. Update: Deleted the app and installed again, did nothing. Still hasn’t updated locations automatically. All settings are on correctly and still nothing unfortunately. Hoping for an update very soon..ItsReignVersion: 4.52.3
Zenly deleted my account for no reason!I’ve never written reviews before but this is just beyond sad and frustrating. So one day my account just disappeared. Yes like, boom, gone. I opened the app and it got logged out automatically, I tried logging in with my number but it created a new account. I tried contacting support and they said it’s permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. So I lost everything, footprints, friends. I mean the information has got to be somewhere right? On the website it even says it’ll be kept for 30 days. Not to say I didn’t even try deleting my account Zenly just did it. I’ll never be able to get those footprints back now, which is also the main reason I used Zenly. It’ll be impossible to get the same footprints either. The feeling is like having your memory card formatted by someone else. So unless they somehow miraculously found my old account back I don’t want to use this anymore. What if they deleted my account again? I don’t wanna be heartbroken twice. No I’m not giving them another chance. Am I the only one that experienced this? Wow unbelievable can I be more lucky than that. Wish I was lucky in other ways. A simple wish would just be to get my account back🙄🙄.DoramihsienVersion: 4.33.2
The new update is not so user friendlyI used to love the app. The map on the older version was so easy to read. I was able to view all the places I’ve ever been to so easily. The newer version makes the map look so complicated and the visual is so blurry. When I zoom in on the map, they make it so colorful now. I’m so confused to what all of the different the colors mean and what exactly am I looking at? And when I zoom out, I see nothing but plain white??? It keeps make me think there’s a bug in the app.
Also, back then I was able to see how many friends viewed my location, now I cannot find that function whatsoever. Many of the new functions are just useless. I keep getting pop ups telling me to add a place, and I don’t even know what it means and what’s the use for that? I barely use the app ever since the update. Actually, this is a significant downgrade. I’m disappointed. The only reason I have not deleted the app is so that I could wait till maybe one day the app could change back to how it was before..CheinBabeVersion: 5.7.0
The new update ruined the appI have used zenly since 2015 and seen quite a few updates. Unfortunately, the newest update has completely ruined the app and frankly made me consider switching to a new one.
The colorful and friendly UI is gone. Now the map is permanently tinted a sickly pinkish green, with no option to turn off. The playful cartoon emojis have been replaced with creepy hyper realistic ones. The menus are unintuitive and everything is hard to look at. I understand that changes like this represent significant resources spent on development and design and that it's an attempt to make the app seem more mature, but I think the update has missed the mark. None of the new features are enjoyable. The features I loved have been changed for good. I loved this app, but now it's become something completely different. And judging by recent reviews, I'm not alone in that sentiment. I hope that you will see these reviews and revert the changes. Until then, I will be looking for a new app to use and wishing for what once was. 😔.ScottyghostVersion: 5.0.6
No real-time location updateI used Zenly for 2 years and since last Thursday (April 8th), my Zenly start to having problem that it began to stop refreshing real-time locations. It begin with if I leave the app on for 8 mins & it didn’t refresh, to real quick that just after 1 min, the location is not refreshing. Now I have to restart Zenly each time to get my location refreshed as well as my friends. Or it will just show the red 1 minute ago tag FORVER. And now it’s not just my phone—both of my parents Zenly and my iPad got the SAME ISSUE. So it’s not about our phone, Zenly must have some software issue that caused huge inconvenience for us. If possible please fix that ASAP.
Update: the solution was fixed after I got a new phone. But with 4 month of usage this thing happens again….they don’t even try or care to fix the issue tbh, if there’s another app can have automatically location update I’ll switch it in no hesitation. I send 23 emails to them they leave nothing back to me. Thanks a lot Zenly. Worst app ever.脑残没的治Version: 4.59.0
The new version fails us 🤮Zenly used to be my #1 favorite app, but the new 5.0.0 version really let me down. My close friends and I have used it for years, since we found it to be the best substitute for location sharing apps like FindMyFriends. It had unique brand personalities, cute surprises delighted us every day, and even the release notes were super fun to read. However, this revamped version changes the priorities of its features, which doesn’t make sense to me at all. It should be focused on the CONNECTION among close friends. What else? Many user flows are broken, some texts are too tiny/thin to see… The new style might be the a nice, chic direction to try, yet the gradient and typography DOESN’T LOOK GOOD AT ALL!!! Do your real users who love the original style accept such a DRAMATICAL CHANGE? Have you tested with real users for the style change, new interactions, and accessibility??? Can’t believe what just happened..MikomihiaVersion: 5.0.0
Missing important featuresI’m enjoying this app and it’s good for keeping track of my kids. However, it’s missing important features that the app Life360 has. I’m also using this app. Life360 tells me when my kids are on the move, and it tells me when they have reached there destination whether it’s at home or at school. It shows there path on the map whether walking or driving. Life360 is much more detailed then Zenly. Zenly is pretty basic. I would rather you get rid of all the sparkles and rainbows crap and have a more functional app. Zenly download Life360 and play around with it. Take notes of good things there doing to there app and copy there features. Otherwise me and my family will be deleting this and moving on to bigger and better things. Also I’m using the app find my kids which also has better features then this. Take note of that one too..B33zuVersion: 4.63.4
How the app can improve.Overall, the app itself is pretty great as of being a location - based app. It’s great that you can easily interact with friends and see where they constantly are. What I see as a problem is not having a “log out” option. As I was changing my phone to my new one, I have realized that Zenly doesn’t have an “Log out” option. In that case, I am pretty disappointed. If you have deleted the app, your friends would see the last location where were last and if you were to download it again, it would pop your account again! What if I have selled my phone to a stranger and they’ve found my account? Theyre going to hijack it. How am I going to log on back there on my new phone. Yeah, you’ll have to create a new account and add your friends all over again. Please reconsider this problem. Thank you..Not having a “log out” option.Version: 3.94.3
New version looks a cheap energy drink🤬Your new version, the interface, the color scheme, the fonts are all ugly. The icons are a big step back. It used to be cute and puffy, but now it's like a funeral. The drastic changes in the functionality completely ignore the user's experience. And There seems like a green yellow shield on my map, interface is black, buttoms are blue and purple. Too many colors make me visually exhausting. Terse and balanced use of color make us comfort. And ur font should not be all lowercase, we all know China and china are big difference. And the underline is superfluous, don't you think there's too many elements for now? The building's logo doesn't need to be exquisite cuz it's small. The emoji either, it used to be puffy and cute. This whole thing is messed up, I'm sure you'll get more complaints..XinxerxVersion: 5.0.0
Disappointed with the new UI changeThe heat map style exploration is the most frustrating among all other UI changes with this new update. It’s great that Zenly wants to gamify an utility app but maybe adds the option for people to turn this setting off? I didn’t download Zenly for any other purposes than to share locations with my loved ones and not intended to in the future. The heat map style makes it extremely difficult to look at the map unless you’ve already been to the area, very counterintuitive design. Searching also was not user friendly at all, it was only a blank screen and my keyboard didn’t automatically show up until I tapped around on the screen randomly a few times. Very disappointed with the new design and it’s very hard for older family members to get used to..Cassie's iCloudVersion: 5.0.0
Update is no good recently!Unfortunately, I must write this comment to issue the strongest protest to the recent update. It lost the important functions before, yet emphasised and repeated the bad functions such as the “annoy colourful map” that shows where I have been to before. I don’t need it regularly since I could already check mine on the right-up side. I cannot chat with my friends easily, and I lost the “special marks” for my friends and loved ones which show how many weeks we have spent together! I love Zenly! However, now???? Maybe not~ I will still keep it because I understand your good will and attention in improving this product! I hope you may sincerely take notes from the recent comments from the other users and improve! Thank you very much!.热情的好好聚AndrewVersion: 5.0.0
A shadow of its previous selfMe and my family has been avid zenly users since the first time the app came out on iPhone, recently they changed the UI, and have basically ruined the app, I am guessing they hired a consultant who told them they need to make the app more about social networking and less about tracking , and I guess the app at this point is unable to do anything in a nice cohesive fashion , it’s no longer obvious in the front end how you will go back to seeing the list of family members you have , instead you are shown how many friends you and the family member you are tracking has “in common”, how is that information relevant ? Please fire your product owner and the consulting firm that taking you on this path to obsolescence..60DeviceGuyVersion: 5.6.1
Waiting for new changesHonestly I don’t really like the newest version of zenly cuz it’s being childish and ugly😅. Sorry to say it in this way but I really can’t accept this update I wish that there will have a new update soon. I will like to believe that zenly will give a new and different update. The last version was perfect, and acceptable. Oh yeah and one more thing is that the newest update can’t check that how many people look at us and the best friend card was changed and I can’t really understand. If we want to know who was our best friend, we need to go and find it one by one? It’s out of logic. You guys should really change a new version rather than this my friends and I would like to wait a new update. Please.JanicewoonVersion: 5.0.0
Middle of the earth!!!Now I know why Zenly had the middle of the earth view!!! It was due to the team having their head stick so far in the sand! The ratings overwhelmingly decry the new version, but, no, zenly developers know better than their users! So, users continue to abandon the new version in favor of other friend map applications. Customer service at its best! - make users so unhappy with your product (ie lower the bar so far!) that, upon switching to another, they’ll ultimately be happy! I came back to see if maybe by chance they had even listened a little to the user base, but no, they still think they know best- just read their developer comments ( e.g. “you’ll get used to it”, “change happens “, etc).

App doesn’t workI used to love this app it worked so well and it always updated but lately it just doesn’t work the map doesn’t load it says my friends have been at the same place for days and nothing loads it doesn’t show anyone’s profile pictures and sometimes the app just doesn’t load at all i really love this app but i’m gonna delete it soon if it doesn’t start to work
UPDATE : i fixed it
sometimes apple finds the app “insecure” and turns off cellular data for the app find zenly in settings and make sure that cellular data is turned on for the app because that's the issue i was having.Akil.jVersion: 4.42.1
DisappointedI’ve always loved Zenly. It’s worked fairly well over the years. Of course sometimes it’s a little off or laggy but that is very manageable. However, I really am extremely disappointed in the redesign. I am confused how this redesign made it through any consumer testing? (If it didn’t go through any, that explains a lot). I don’t like the new places/map features or whatever. Weird and useless to me. It’s hard to navigate. And I DESPISE the new color theming. At least let us have the old theming back if nothing else? It’s so hard to even look at. :( give me my old Zenly back, I miss that friend. Haha..PUMPKiN 0R KEiTHVersion: 5.1.0
Good but 🤬It’s a fabulous app but people can suspend your if if me and my friends plan to block you your I’d will be suspended for 24 hrs I am experiencing and now my I’d is suspended for 30 days this is not good if I there should be a valid reason for blocking and the tech team should verify the blocking reason but I am getting blocked several times ok first time I understood that sending too many requests leads to suspension but if you delete friends they can block you for deleting them as friends I don’t find this logical WhatsApp doesn’t suspend someone for getting blocked or any other app this is nonsense but the team is responsive and fabulous they cooperate a lot but I need my suspension canceled.Subrat padhyVersion: 4.64.0
Ugly New UpdateThe new update is so ugly I was so shocked when I first opened the app. What kind of alien filter was that?! And why are everything in boxes. It makes me not wanna use the app again. Everyone I know hates the update. It was a cute and convenient app before, and now they made it so complicated and ugly. Plus you can no longer see how many people viewed your location, nor the hours you spent with your friends. That’s so annoying. Please change the app back to the old version or else you guys will lose all your users. You guys are going the old path of old Snapchat, where you guys continue to give worse updates each time..OakakdjdVersion: 5.0.0
Regarding the new horrible updateWhoever created this new design needs to be fired it’s horrible and the apps functions horrendously too - Post - I want to apologize because I got frustrated and wanted to say something, however I firmly believe that the new update is very non user friendly and that the older version was best. The new ones issue is that to find a friend it’s harder to view there location and the point where your located is so small. especially if you have a good amount of people added it’s impossible to find someone or even your own location lol..Dishaan284928228Version: 5.2.1
If it isn’t broke… don’t fix it.And yet they tried. They took the fun and colorful app and made it dull. It went from a seemingly finished and polished to the text now looking like it was designed by a high school programming class. It barely updates friends locations anymore, usually only showing me the day prior, or very laggy versions of their speed while driving. It makes it harder to actually select individual friends when compared to before. I have yet to see any good to come from the new update. Going to give Life360 a shot a see if it’s any better..Bshor11Version: 5.0.2
Used to love it- new update is so bad :(I have been using Zenly for YEARS (like since 2016) and previously it was a great app. The old version was so nice and easy to use, I don’t know why they felt like they needed to rebrand the entire app. Now the app is terribly designed, the color scheme is awful, the new font is hard to read, and all of my favorite features are hard to find now. I’m sooooo sad I updated this app and can’t go back :( I hope their team listens to the user base because it seems nobody likes the update. Some of the new features are cool, but was it necessary to rebrand the entire aesthetic of the app just to implement some new features?.Jsto34Version: 5.1.0
I Decided to Keep My Promise: Show Our AttitudeBecause I still not see any updates for a better experience, I have uninstalled zenly. I couldn’t understand why when so many users express their dislike of this new version, the zenly team still being like this stubborn!? Shouldn't an application be designed to serve and meet the needs of its users? If everybody don't like it, the designer should make a change! I'm so disappointed with the zenly team!
If you see this comment and you has the same feeling as me, please uninstall it to express our attitude! We don’t like the new version and we need a change!.爱想歪的小喵Version: 5.2.1
Super bad updateI used to use Zenly a couple times a day and now after the update, I barely use it at all. Curious to know the thoughts and research done behind the UI/UX and what enhanced benefits the new experience provided because other then too much color, super hard to understand map, and worse positioning, I couldn’t seem to find anything else helpful to this app anymore. I know the team won’t be able to change back to the older version, but please at least remember why the app was created in the first place. the simplicity and convenience of it was why everyone “used to love it”..Anonymous 1856Version: 5.1.0
Cellular Data Is Forced Off Just for «Zenly”I’ve been using this app for a while now, I’ve liked every feature, until recently it stopped working on cellular data for whatever reason it might be. I’ve tried using every method to solve this issue, I’ve reinstalled the app, deleted it, restarted my phone several times, wen to the settings switched the cellular data option on the app, but it keeps persistently switching back to off by itself, I still don’t understand anything, pls help me resolve the issue, it’s getting me dizzy lately.Avai7Version: 4.60.0
VERY BAD UPDATEThis update is the worst ever. If there is a zero star option, I would choose that. First off, the color scheme is off, it completely takes away the OG zenly theme with the cute emojis and icons. Secondly, the user experience is not great compared to the old version which was so much easier to navigate. It also lacks of an option to close down the colored portion of the maps - it is extremely hard to see with the colors on. If you are going to make a big change that add an option to let the users to choose which theme they would like. I am considering to uninstall this app..Kristie🤗Version: 5.0.0
Make design for choose plsThat was great app before, but atm idk how to use that, since update 2 month have passed and i cant get used to new design, thats fr bad. I tried to return old app version to avoid new design, but unfortunately i cant do this.
New design is fr bad, and this opinion is not only mine, but also that of many people thinks like me. And you can fix it easily cuz you can do choose design app like as done with choice app icon, i hope you do that bcz thats easy to implement. You got ready design, you need only add choice near 2 designs. Imma also hope my msg will be not ignored.RelaxaggwpVersion: 5.4.0
Really liked this app…. Until the update…Was a really fun app before, seeing we’re friends were and if they’re on the way and such. You still can with the update, but it’s just messy now. I hate how you can’t shut off the layer of the map showing you were you’ve been. I’m not a fan of the new colour scheme either. Still really like the fun of this app and hopefully a good balance between the old version of the app and new version can me made, as of right now it’s just not great..Vaz LombaxVersion: 5.0.6
Limited functionsFirst of all, I don't have control over how I share my location.
I want to change it to "Only locate while using app". I can't. Zenly forces you to change it to "Always".
Secondly, I cannot look up the past travel history of my contacts. Life360 can.
This is a very limited function app..CarimiumVersion: 4.27.0
Design👎🏻Can you just bring back the old design… the new design is not user friendly and not cute anymore….. I don’t like the dark mode as well as the font. It used to be a cute and beautiful app but not anymore…..ReviewisagoodthingVersion: 5.0.0

The new version is toooo badI don’t like it. It is not user friendly. What do you think we using this app? To see the location of my bestie, then we can communicate. Now it is difficult to locate them soon. And the dark doesn’t look good. Why can’t you provide an option that we can use the other colors.Gloria-11Version: 5.3.0
The old Zenly was the way to stay.This new update sucks. When my partner is trying to show me where he’s going and I’m trying to see him on the map but it never loads properly or updates where he’s going, there’s an issue!!
Bring back the old update guys. Seriously. Nobody likes this update so just don’t even try to make it better lol..Taybug2685Version: 5.2.2
Wish I could give 0 starsHorrible clunky laggy interface. The new update makes it impossible to see where your friends are. The new design makes everything hard to see and the landmarks wont go away even when you try to swipe to the side. Garbage software and design..Todd pakVersion: 5.2.1
Very Bad new versionIt’s really bad after update old version really nice.Gurpreet kaur zzVersion: 5.0.4
I’m considering uninstalling zenlyI loved zenly so much - such a great app to see what your friends are doing and where you have been.
However, this new update is messy and ugly. I hate that you display the footsteps on the main map - it is very messy and a pain to look at. I also hate how you now display places I have been to to other people - I want to keep that to myself, and my friends should only know where I am right now. I hate the most is how you remove emoji in chat - I send emojis all the time to my friends, now I have to exit the window to do that.
Seriously, if you do not allow us to change it back to what it was, then I am uninstalling this app. Might just use Apple Friends instead - at least it keeps some privacy..狮子】Version: 5.0.2
Update sucksThe new World update sucks. Before I had my Zenly friends on the bottom, I could click on them to track them. Can’t do that anymore. I’ll find another gps family and friends tracker..Sjak65Version: 5.0.2

Mais pourquoi?Avec la nouvelle version, je n’ai que des difficultés.. la carte ne se charge pas, les icônes des personnes en mouvements ne se déplacent pas simultanément avec les personnes, et 2 fois sur 3 l’application elle-même ne s’ouvre pas ou s’ouvre sur un écran vide. Sans compter toutes les fois ou l’écran « gèle », m’obligeant à redémarrer mon téléphone pour que le problème se règle, et ne se règle que temporairement avant que zenly ne recommence le même manège.
J’adorais cette application avant, elle m’était beaucoup plus utile que toutes les autres comme plans ou google maps..
Maintenant je n’ai que des problèmes, et beaucoup de difficultés à l’utiliser puisque son rendement est d’environ 1/5.
Je suis extrêmement déçue.
Tout a changé mais pas pour le mieux, malheureusement.
