I just signed up for Chikka v6 today (July 23, 2014) and I'm simply "amazed" that there are neither toolbars nor anything of that sort; the page is blank; you cannot even find the log-out button. It's like working on a blank page with no tools at all. What happened to Chikka v6?
Now, I decided to simply use my wife's Chikka v5 and guess what, now it won't allow us to log in; the app simply says that it cannot find our account. Really "amazing"!
The old version is much reliable and simple. Version 6 keeps me uneasy because sometimes the other side doesn't receive. I have to keep on re-booting to make sure it is responding properly. When I switch contacts, the messages disappear so I don't know if I am still texting with the same contact or a different one. Sometimes it won't connect. Sometimes it just stop responding. I am not a programmer but there must be another way using old Chikka with open software like Linux if Windows is the problem. I can revived an old computer just for the old Chikka version if the application is available. Thanks to Chikka for the service but it could have been done much better.
Agreed with all the comments. When I used version 6, it eats up my load, a total disappointment. Deleted my account and now I can't receive text messages.
This is disappointing, the version 6. On the website, it does not allow you to continue unless you put your phone number or log in to Facebook. I don't want to put my number because I have limited a plan and I don't have a Facebook account.
Cheating that's Chikka version 6 is all about. It made me so disappointed and tired by a very slow downloading. Then, when it finished, you will be like in the quicksand. Terrible experience.
Chikka v6 is terrible. I can't send messages from this program. I kept on getting invalid recipients, even though the number is there. And I know that the number is correct & working.
Chikka v6 is now totally useless and it is time for us to complain to Chikka and find an alternative. I have now stopped using Chikka because it is garbage and a waste of time. Sad really because Chikka v4 was the best. Why have they ruined a perfectly good service?
