Ratings and reviews

Small gripes about this chat app: 1. I can't schedule send. 2. When I'm editing the formatting of text, the text and link previews keep refreshing or something making the scroll position move down. I'll have to check where the "I" bar cursor is to see if that's unintuitively causing the scrolling. I really like the ability to draft messages and have drafts persist. The search function works great.

It worked terrific up until a couple of weeks ago when something changed, on an older secondary device I can see all messages sent, on my current device that I have cellular on messages disappear from view and pictures do not attach. Tap to resend it says and it never resends but it has been sent already because I can see it on my secondary device. Developer replied with a useless link with 13 other people still experiencing the same problem

Excellent! Being able to click a group chat from the main chat screen would be helpful instead of clicking to a different screen and then clicking on the group chat. Update: After the update all chats are listed on one page. Very helpful. The app still works flawlessly. The only thing I would change is the notification sound. I liked the old one better. I haven't been able to change it from my phone settings.
