Ratings and reviews

Great app. Allows me to chat with my friends who have iPhones, and still havey personal luxury of using Android. I use it as a separate app than my default, even though there are options for that, as at some times it isn't entirely reliable. I found that if you get your apple friends to add your icloud address to your contact, it will always look normal on their side. Normal messages go through well, even though there's some times I need to restart my server in order to send iMessages.

My friends stopped complaining to me about being green(or was it blue), so major plus, but the program is pretty inconsistent. I cannot send pictures and GIFs; and, every once in a while I cannot see pictures sent to me in the message area and I have to save them to my phone then open it up outside the app. I am assuming that reactions to messages is a hard restriction to overcome because that is not a feature, but wish it was.

Works once in a while. Right now it won't even connect to the Internet on my phone. When it does work, it lags, it crashes every use, and double posts. Most often you need to manually check and it will connect to you Mac running the server. Not dependable but the effort was made and it's free.
