Chatrandom Review September 2020

Chatrandom comes with a mobile application for Android users. The app can be downloaded from Google Play Store without charge.

Unlike the desktop or web version which can be accessed even without signing up, the mobile app requires registration for you to be able to chat with others. Worry not because it is still free. Apart from the registration, everything on the web version can also be found on its mobile app.

Chatrandom's app's design is really suitable for its video-chat function. Details, like icon buttons and texts, are small to give its users a wider and clearer view while video chatting. 

I'm a grade school teacher by profession. Most of my shifts are very toxic and exhausting. To distress myself, I usually spend almost an hour in front of my laptop to check my social media accounts and watch interesting videos on the Internet. One night before my bedtime, I tried to look for websites where I can meet some random people and have a little chit-chat. Then I saw this chat website with no registration needed. Although I'm not new on using online chat websites, Chatrandom is kind of interesting because it has more features than those I visited before.

I checked its random video chat feature and in an instant, I was able to chat with a guy. It went okay in the beginning, but after exchanging a few decent messages, he asked me if I was horny because he wanted to show his private part to me. Instead of replying I just clicked the Next button. The next stranger was way worse because as his live video flashed, he was already playing with his shaft.

That experience of mine was really disturbing. The next day, I advised my students to be very careful in using and joining chat websites online.

I was using the app and encountered a nice man on the other line. We were chatting for a long time and as the tension was building up, we got disconnected! It was my internet's fault and there's no way I can contact him now unless we we're randomly matched again. I just wish I got to know more about him. He seems really hot!

Design and Usability

Chatrandom was built and designed as a user-friendly website. It has easy to navigate pages with simple button icons and word fonts. You can select from more than 20 languages. It has a quick search-connect to other users worldwide and a fast-enabling webcam function. As you click the start button, it will instantly search for an online user for you to chat with, and it will also automatically enable your computer's webcam. There will be a pop-up box asking permission to access your webcam. However, you can turn your live video streaming off if you want to. All of the site's features work in seconds. 

Security

Based on the site's Terms and Privacy Policy, Chatrandom's services are not for children ages 13 and below. Considering that the site does not really require registration for profiling purposes, the site states that it has no legal obligations and that you will be accountable for all the associated activities of your account.

Chat-related websites, particularly Chatrandom, are intended for people to meet other random people and make good connections. Unfortunately, the majority of users of Chatrandom has indecent intentions. You may encounter users exposing their private parts or initiating dirty conversations. This kind of behaviour is very violent and abusive, especially for teenage girls. Child predators use this free service to take advantage of innocent minor users. Yet, it is possible to report your current chatmate if you need to. However, reporting a user without any reason may have you terminated from using the site.
