Status Update received generally negative reviews from critics and was a box office disappointment. While some found its premise charming and aimed at a younger audience, most critics cited a predictable plot, underdeveloped characters, and a lack of originality as major drawbacks. Audience reception was mixed, leaning towards disappointment, with many viewers finding it to be a forgettable teen comedy.

• Predictable and uninspired teen comedy with a weak premise.
• Lacks the charm and humor to make its magical premise engaging.
• Ultimately a forgettable film that fails to leave a lasting impression.

Google audience: Audience reviews indicate that while some enjoyed the lighthearted and family-friendly nature of the film, many found the plot to be unoriginal and the humor to be lacking. The magical app concept was seen as a missed opportunity for more creative storytelling.

The film's director, Scott Speer, also directed the music video for "My Boo" by Usher and Alicia Keys.
