I'm quite the opposite. I haven't really used kik but if what i know is true then you use kik with a logon you create and share your logon to chat while with WhatsApp it links with your phone number and tells you which of your phone contacts also use it. It uses data to chat (and now call) but is inextricably linked to your phone. You can even chat in your web browser but your phone has to be on and connected to the internet because the app pushes messages through your phone.
I use WhatsApp nearly religiously. I'm overseas so my group uses it to communicate all day and to talk to my parents every few days/weeks.
A new app I'm using is Podcast Addict, great interface and nice features.
What's the difference between WhatsApp and kik? I use kik quite often so I'm not too familiar with WhatsApp. Are they pretty much the same thing?

I'll have to give it a try.
