Ratings and reviews

Worst user experience ever! The navigation of this app is so unnecessarily convoluted that it makes me want to gauge my eyes out. You get a notification for a message, you tap and you go see it. If you decide to try to find it later, good luck! There are a bazillion places where it could've been. Navigation is at the top. Unless it's at the bottom. But wait, it's actually in the middle, too. Chats can be all over the place. Was it posted on a home page of a band? A signup? Gaaaaah!!!!!!!!

Awful experience. NOT mobile friendly, not designed with a phone screen in mind. Text on the app is tiny, makes this app very difficult to use. All of the accompanying text (like time stamps and other words) way smaller than the chat message text (but only that can be enlarged). Please fix! And chat messages seem to disappear, so our group is confused.

I'm only using it with one band so far. It is a useful app for communications within the band. The notification settings are complex, but once I set it right, I'm getting the notifications that I want. There appears to be some confusion between the visibility/notification of posts vs. comments.
