Ratings and reviews

A good app that works in conjunction with instant messaging for Facebook. It's good that it's integrated now vs when it was separate and those who were only using Facebook might be receiving messages and not know because there wasn't any notification within Facebook. Works well, including having the ability to transfer files and pictures.

This is such a user-friendly app. I love the customization options it provides for chats and fast service. AI chat is entertaining. If you are out with friends having dinner and don't want to split the bill right there- you can easily send your friends $ through the app to cover your part of the tab. Group chats can be easily made, too. It keeps marketplace and message requests separately so they don't get all mixed together! Super clean. I recommend making sure the app is updated to work well.
