Ratings and reviews

This app is about 10 years behind even native text messaging apps, much less Signal or even whatsapp. No delayed send message options. No way to forward messages. No way to screenshot. When you take a pic with the app, it turns it sideways when you send it for no reason. No group pic customization. No GIFs. Message receipt is often delayed enough through you have full service and WiFi. If I didn't -have- to use this app for work, I would not.

While the idea of the application isn't terrible, the functionality sure is. This app needs some drastic improvement. Things as simple as screenshots need to be an accessible permission. Forwarding messages? Not possible here. Please improve the user interface and allow simple actions to be performed.

- Constantly has to be checked as it fails to check for messages when the app isn't open. - They need to add a feature for delay sending messages like nearly every other chat service...
