Ratings and reviews

I understand certain features to only be available if you pay for the premium app, but the free features should still work properly and don't. If I leave the app during a message (whether I pause the message or if a phone call or something interrupts it) I now have to start the same message over and over again, because for some reason it won't save my place anymore. It's annoying to have to listen to the same parts over and over.

This app was great until about a year ago. Have been experiencing several problems, but the most troublesome being that it often stops recording recording mid message and frequently closes unexpectedly. I haven't been able to open the app for over 24hrs. I've attempted to fix the issue by rebooting my phone several times, uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Nothing has worked. I'm not sure what's going on, but this is horrible. Not dependable at all.

This app is perfect for those of that that hate to text! This is far the easiest and best way to communicate with people. With texting, you lose inflections and tones of voices, but when you get to see the face and hear the words as they're meant to be. Leaves little to guess work. And I don't have to decipher your spelling and the bazillion acronyms that are getting made up everyday. Thank you so much love it!
