IMVU

Hello, I'm here to inform people who are questioning getting the app TO NOT GET IT! My account was disabled for no reason! I spent my actual hard-earned money and they refuse to give me my account back.

Laggy piece of crap run by neurotic prudes that sell the service with romantic beach scenes then try and sell you poses where your hips cant even touch! This is NOT a site for adults with cash to spend anymore. Its become a site for kids with inattentive parents.

Ive been on imvu for six years and Ive watched it drop from a promising new site to an incredibly mismanaged nightmare of Stazi informing tactics and greedy over priced "features" that are nothing more than pure lies.

This game is actually a representation of how a $#*!ty game should be. At first when I played this game i thought it was pretty cool becaue it had cute clothes etc and they give at least 4000 free credits, but the moment you run out of credits and try to earn more it is a huge pain in the $#*!, they make you do a million surveys for almost 40 mins just to give you 10 credits when it says your supposed to get 1000. And dont even get me started on how weird and rude the people are on this game, your just gonna have to play it for yourself because I am not about write about that $#*!. And the graphics are trash, the maps are ugly and its just a retarted game overall.

An utterly dishonest company, thieves would be a better word for them actually. They charge you a premium for PA, which allows you to be 'lewd' but you want to hear a good joke? Every penis is flaccid and useless, can you even imagine the thinking that goes into a decision like that? This is deeply fraudulent and they have not even replied let alone given me a refund, this company and everyone who supports them (Menlo Ventures, AllegisCyber Capital, Bridgescale Partners, and Best Buy Capital) should be tried as the petty criminals they are. Shut it down, they are nothing but a scourge on the industry. I am going to personally boycott every single company who has dealings with them and I would encourage others to do the same. Have some respect for yourself, and spend your money elsewhere. They did not even give me a recept, what kind of legitimate company does that? None of them do, these people are criminals and they belong in jail.

Alot has changed i agree but ive been on imvu 10 years and i much prefer it to any other game hands down. Im a creator and a vip member i think its well worth the vip charge and the credits if you get vip you can catch sales that are 45% off which is close to what the credit sellers used to do. But advise to anyone do not click on free credit links they are scams and steal your account. Also a good way to go is try blocking them if you cant then you know its a ligit imvu staff memeber.

Read their ToS, they will permanently ban you easily. Costumer support is very slow and most of the times (depending what you're writing about) they will not answer at all. They won't unban accounts, they don't care how much money you spent and have even disabled credits reselling.

This is a site that allows hackers and scam artists to run rampid in their system while legitimate users are hassled for no good reason! I was a member in good standing for over a year in this dump! And because someone didnt like that my rooms were becoming popular my account was disabled! They are thieves and scam artists, overcharging for stuff and doing what they want to do, not what is right! I wouldnt go back to them now if my life depended on it!

You can't even enjoy this game I've been hacked then reported for my identity then my rooms weren't working after paying a lot of credits for it agents couldn't figure out nor fix the issue and now my account is down for false payments never again will I install this app I believe it's the company of imvu hacking accounts and taking peoples money smh

This is so $#*!ing stupid u only support the famous imvu players ur challenges are $#*!ed u should really make them easier and make them able to enter from the app not having to go to a website that makes no sense your wheelspins are stupid make the higher and make it easier to get money like for people who's phone can't install your verification apps on your free money websites and make the default look better and give u more credits when u start off playing like 10k and I spent so much time on this damn game and as u make credits there gine straight away I'm going to give this game one more chance

Customer service is awful, if you submit a ticket, make it very simple as they either can't read English or the more likely fact that they don't care to read much at all, you will get generic copy and paste responses tens of tens of times and half of what you asked will be completely ignored.
I asked at least 6 times why my account was disabled, all completely ignored, I still don't know! (Yeah, I'm talking to you "Prence"!)

After a while you will get passed off onto a staff member who seems to care enough to do a proper job and you can get some things done.
Until then, good luck!

Mobile app is utterly awful, missing most of the simple features found on the desktop app and the websites not much better, it's become some awful mashup of a half-assed new and an old website.

The "new" site is missing most of the olds features and tabs and often jarringly redirects you to the ugly and in much need of an update old site.

I am absolutely disgusted how this site is allowed to operate. It is full of sexual predators and vulnerable children being taken advantage of, it made me physically sick to read some of the things adults are saying to children and encouraging them to say and do. AND YET the site has zero safeguarding for children. Thankfully I found my daughter's profile before she was forced to do something she would regret for the rest of her life.

It says it's only suitable to 17+ but my 13 year old managed to open an account without lying about her age and within 24 hours she was enticed to "go find a boyfriend" by what can only be described as a system generated message and then she was groomed, asked if she would have sex, send naked pics, taught how to sext, told to give her phone number and snapchat account details where the abuse continued.

The report user function on this site is hard to find and even then completely pointless as vile animals are allowed to keep their profiles after knowingly grooming & sexually exploiting children. It should be shut down and the developers locked up.

I once gave a three star rating and was very informative about the origin, along with the good & bad about Imvu. Recently I had learned new accounts made will become disabled, after a week has gone by. Which is bypassing TOS, that if account isn't accessed after certain length of time, only then is when it becomes disabled. Limits on newly created accounts under Guest were already bad enough. Imvu isn't accredited by the Better Business Bureau cause of it's 1 star low rating. From the reviews there it looks like Imvu is biting the hands that feed it. An estimate of 30,000 or more has dropped out of Imvu and developers don't make up most of the loss in numbers. Who watches the 50 staff workers, whom I believe are largely at fault for such. If I were CEO of Imvu I would be doing some house cleaning in weeding out bad staff workers. As it can hurt toward ruining years of successful business. I doubt complaints made on Imvu tickets is ever seen by the CEO, since workers would never report another worker of any known wrong doing. Contacting current CEO by any means possible isn't available.

IMVU is an ABSOLUTE WASTE of Time. You pay real cash to get credits and VIP in order to develop items and if it doesn't pass peer review they don't let you edit the product in order to make it something that CAN pass but they will take your credits regardless. It's basically 1000 Credits per $1 spent and in order to get a good Avatar you need at least $20. You pay $10 a month for VIP which nets you 5,000 Credits. The Engine on this game is useless and severely out-dated. Stay away and save your Mentality. Second Life is more money but I would recommend that if your PC and Wallet can handle it.

I had been with imvu for at least 9 years or even more and the one time i had made the mistake of disputing i get disabled... now i gets a new account and that gets banned... now months on in i come to them with everything they needed and im ready to get my old account back... there customer service is GARBAGE how can you forcefully make someone wait on you to help for 3 DAYS STRAIGHT! Before i left i had to see kids on there hacking people and they wouldnt get banned or old people on there trying to get little kids and they wouldnt get banned but because i didnt mean to pay for something i get banned and get played around over an account. IMVU needs better training on customer service

I got banned for 2 weeks for an AP room being "incorrectly rated" when it was not. I have had many male friends get banned on IMVU for inappropriate names and such and IMVU will give them their account back when they ask, even throwing in free VIP for 6 months. When I talked to IMVU about my account being banned for seemingly no reason, they told me there was nothing they can do.

Full of pedophiles waiting to groom children even when they give there age as under 16...keep your children well away from this app it's dangerous...

The age division on imvu is ridiculous and ruins the whole experience for me. I get you don't want 13 year olds talking to 20 year olds but the fact that all of my friends are born in the same year as me and are 18 but because I have a late birthday I can't play or even message them is downright idiotic. I talk to them in person and know them irl and it's incredibly frustrating I can't go to the same chat rooms or anything because I'm 17. You are basically saying you would rather me talk to a 13 year old who isn't in the same realm of mental maturity as I am than someone who is. Which is down right ridiculous. It's so aggravating to play alone when all my friends are in a whole over side of imvu from me and are enjoying themselves. Not to mention in most places the age of consent is 16 which means literally talking to an adult isn't a crime. This hard division between ages is why I'm going to stop playing this game as it has done nothing but cause me stress and feel less than all of my friends because I was born late.
