Ratings and reviews

Great app. Wish I could launch the different messaging services with a shortcut on the recent chats screen or something when I don’t have any particular notifs active from them for a more streamlined experience. Something similar to the box with arrow shortcut seen in individual chats. App seems to disable the flow/swipe typing feature of Swiftkey, but not for some other keyboards, which can be an annoyance. Edit 9/2019: the longer that this doesn't update, the more bugs that crop up.

Had this before and it used to be great... now my messages come in normally, (no preview though, regardless of selecting it) but when you click the bubble, it just says "New message", "2 new messages" and so on... it doesnt show you what they ACTUALLY SAID... just that you HAVE a message. Never used to do that. I've gone through all the settings 3 times already.. nothing. Kinda renders it pointless.

I have emailed the developers listed contact email address twice now and still haven't gotten a response. I have directchat pro but now since it's no longer a supported app I had to send my order number for the pro version to get a coupon code for premium features on the free app. Otherwise I'd probably give the app 5 stars as I've been using it for almost 3 years and absolutely love it. Please fix this issue.
