Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

What users say about LINE
From the 169 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users are overwhelmingly negative due to a recent policy change that blocks US phone numbers from logging in or creating accounts. This has resulted in permanent account loss for many long-term users who cannot access their old devices for verification.
Mostly negative (3% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). The main complaints are about login and account problems, and customer support.
Common complaints
- Login & account: “Garbage, can’t even login”
- Customer support: “Terrible customer service”
- Features & content: “Rejects all login options”
- Crashes & bugs: “3 ways login doesn’t work”

App Store ratings in the countries we track, 4-week average.
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
What users say about LINE
From the 169 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users are overwhelmingly negative due to a recent policy change that blocks US phone numbers from logging in or creating accounts. This has resulted in permanent account loss for many long-term users who cannot access their old devices for verification.
Mostly negative (3% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). The main complaints are about login and account problems, and customer support.
Common complaints
- Login & account: “Garbage, can’t even login”
- Customer support: “Terrible customer service”
- Features & content: “Rejects all login options”
- Crashes & bugs: “3 ways login doesn’t work”
