Ratings and reviews

It's been a several times that I've tried to send a voice message and I keep getting an error and doesn't send, wasting my time each time saying the same thing. And happens also when taking videos, I record it and once I'm done it just shows black and the video is gone. Fix the app, people are wasting time and missing moments because of video errors.

This app is ok, though there have been times part of my conversation has vanished locally and I have to find it on a different device. Since I can't seem to find an easy way to send feedback, only report problems, I'm here to make a suggestion: I would like to be able to create my own themes with background image, text bubble color gradients / masks, word effects, etc. Please add user created shareable themes!! And I'd like more (some promotional) stickers & themes for movies, games, anime, etc.

Slow, Slow, and Very Slow. Lately, the app doesn't even fully load on WiFi nor data. Takes forever to send photos and receive photos. Not sure what happened, but I don't like it. Edit: I bumped up the review to 4 stars because it's working like it was before, but I didn't give it 5 stars because sometimes I don't receive notifications for new messages.
