Ratings and reviews

incredibly bad echo on all calls. camera often stops working (only in app) making it so after 3-4 I have to restart my phone. sometimes camera won't even turn on. message updates aren't always accurate (when my friend says they got the text, on my end multiple days later it still says it hasn't sent. when I have an incoming call it pops up a notification but doesn't tell me who's calling. icons for people stop working for long periods of time and then randomly start working for a day and break.

The app is overall great, sure ot can be a bit glitchy here and there, but the bugs are rarely even big. The only thing that's really annoying, is that on some devices you can have a full theme, on others you can decorate it a little bit, and on aome (like mine) you're stuck with a dark blue, amd cannot change it. I've tried many different ways, but it just doesn't work. It's not that much of a big deal, but it's just a really annoying bug :/

Nice app. I do wish there were more options in the drawing thing. Stuff like an entire color palette to choose from instead of limited colors. A paint bucket tool, and a way to zoom in and out on your drawing. Also with profile pictures you gotta take a picture right then and there, you cant pick one from your gallery. Other than that I recommend this. Gave a good day
