buggy. the only reason I use it is because I have to. sometimes messages never get marked as read the most recent update makes it almost impossible to like a message or see who liked a message. you have to tap in just the right spot. will often be unable to send messages even when I have a stable internet connection will often just be unable to add people to groups, either by link or by adding them through the app.

I cannot edit or delete my OWN texts. I cannot join group calls. The latest update makes the interface look like absolute garbage, and, worst of all, you can only have three admins per group. We need more than three admins! I'm supposed to be able to have all these features, but I don't. If you're looking for a group chat app, use something different.

The update makes me want to use a different app completely. We've used it for at least 10 years, if not more, and this is by far the worst time period. You can't even see if someone has read your messages WITH read message receipt turned on, the color scheme is weird, and the edit options have changed. There was nothing wrong with the app, so this is a case of fixing something that wasn't broken. Awful, and we'll have to go back to using the Band app.
