Ratings and reviews

Would be nice to have the option to customize/change colors of receive/sent messages. So far, acquainting myself with the app. Another thing that would be helpful is to be able to short press (versus long press) on either an avatar or chat message within the main screen list and delete chats that way. Also, swipe left/right on a chat message to either call that contact; delete, mark as read (or unread) a message. Hopefully these features or at least a few of them can be implemented??

Great app. The speed of sending/receiving messages only relies on your email server. You can activate experimental calls in the settings (which are also great). I will try to use it as my daily messenger for my family. Also, checkout their github, there is a lot of useful and interesting information for technical people. The calls implemented just like I thought in a simpliest way and it's awesome. Looking forward for the updates and more features.

for some reason, saved messages chat didn't synchronized with pc after one message can't check if its a saved bug/problem only, but still upsets a little :( account on yandex, turned off warp &/or vpn on pc didn't fixed problem. but anyways, a precious app!! can't wait to see where it'll grow <3 frequent updates w/ channels and even calls are very promising in a really good way!!
