I am enjoying the app especially the music but the message sometimes is very slow and it doesn't deliver fast. It will be perfect if that is worked on.

I'm not able to make voice or video calls on the app except I am called. the icons to tap are not even there except for "voice call" which takes you to regular GSM call when you tap it.

ayoba! Uzor Onyejekwe, please note that both voice, and video calls are not free. Making voice calls is going to use your available minutes or airtime. And as for video call it requires data to make video calls with your contacts. When you tap on a contact you want to video or voice call you will see the icons at the top right. Africa United! (KM)
