Ratings and reviews

This is generally a good app, but it's inability to send images or gifs without badly compressing them (especially gifs) is frustrating enough that it's time to move on. It's disappointing that nothing seems to work, and previous comments by the dev is just to try a smaller image (more compression) which is the whole problem. I understand there are sms and MMS limitations, but when other messaging apps work well, the only issue seems to be the app.

I really like the message you get for the status of the sent message. "Delivered" Problem is, it's NOT delivered. And that usually won't happen from 5-15 minutes. If at All. Sent messages that still haven't been received days later. Other than that (friends not receiving messages) everything appears to work. (Except for why I installed the messaging app for in the first place. To send messages..

App seems to work well but it has a very Annoying Notification Issue. When you set the main Notification sound from the main settings it doesn't apply that sound to new messages so you have to go in and set each message thread to the desired notification sound. Reply: Thanks for the quick reply however I fully understand how the custom sounds work and how to apply them the issue is when I set the main notification sound in the app all of the new messages I create default back to the default sound that was there when I downloaded the app (it pulls the default notification sound set on my phone that is used across all the other apps) If this is still not clear if you have an email I can send you some screenshots of the problem. PS I found your email so I will send you screenshots.
