Ratings and reviews

Update after using it for a 2 years (paid version) : It does an amazing job and I recommend it to all my friends BUT.... It drives me crazy as it always asks if I want it to be my "default" app for calls and messages although I selected no every time it comes back again asking me in a week or two. Privacy should be more clear as people can see when you're online and I wasn't aware of this. It looks bad as an app which is true but it does the job.

Latest update is a disaster! I had to revert to an older version of the app to get all my messages showing up. My messages that are not in my contacts/phonebook were not showing up at all leaving new messages showing up as 'unread' and the only way of finding the messages was by searching it. Please fix this bug ASAP as the older version works fine. I will change my rating once there has a been a fix released for this.

It seems useful and has a nice look to it. I didn't expect it to ignore my previous ringtone and notification sound settings. I didn't expect to start getting notifications from it's built in ChatGPT interface either. I would not recommend installing this unless you are doing so on a new device, or have ample time to reconfigure your phone once installed. You are going to be dealing with that "new phone experience" either way.
