Ratings and reviews

I have used this app for over 10 years for all of the various versions of it. The latest update does not work. It crashes as soon as it tries to open. I have tried it three times because I have let my phone update to the newest version three times, and it immediately starts crashing on my OnePlus Nord N10. I have had to download and install an older version from the beginning of March. ETA: I already did all of those steps, Developers. None of them made the slightest bit of difference.

I have updated this review because I see that they are trying to make improvements. I used the archive option consistently when I used hangouts, so it allowed me to keep a clean chat list. They added the ability to PIN, but I still can't hide older chats. At least it seems they are trying to improve it continually. I will keep updating as changes are made.

This f'n app... It's so incredibly inconsistent. Periodically, mostly just random, Chat stops sending me notifications of new messages. Notifications are set correctly because they do work about 60% of the time. Google will say my settings are incorrect but I've been through this before. It happens so my friends as well. This is just one of the MANY inconsistencies with this app. Opening up chat from a notification takes you to a random chat, not the one you clicked on.
