Ratings and reviews

I love the concept, and everything works smoothly. The messages between my phone and my wife's seem to experience a hefty (in terms of instant messaging anyway) delay. Messages can take anywhere from 5 seconds to nearly a minute. Doesn't seem like something we can use as a daily driver unfortunately. If there's a checklist of steps I can take to reduce that lag, please let me know!
