Impossible to use - can’t register

As a previous reviewer stated, this is crap. No, you can’t register.

First, if you only want to use the desktop/laptop version, you are out of luck. There is no way to register for a new Line account in the desktop version; clicking on the Register button takes you to a screen that just tells you to download the mobile version on your phone.

It gets worse…

Second, there is no way to register for a new Line account in the mobile version either, unless you have a Facebook account. Ok, maybe I’m the only person left on Earth without a Facebook account, but still… In the Mobile version initial screen, there are two buttons: Login, and Sign Up. Tapping Sign Up takes you to a screen that allows you to Login With Facebook; it also has a disabled Verify Phone Number button. No, Sign Up does not allow you to sign up!

If on the initial screen you press Login, it takes you to a login screen that also has a Not Registered button. Clicking on Not Registered yields the instruction “You can register your email by going to Settings > Accounts > Register Email in the LINE app.” Guess what… there is no Settings button in the app; if they mean iOS Settings > Line, there is no Register Email capability there either.

Bottom line: new users need not apply.
