Ratings and reviews

This app has gotten worse and worse with glitches and its driving me insane. Every single time I try to play a voice clip the App just closes and goes dark and then I have to reopen it multiple times and try to play it multiple times before I can finish a voice clip. It's insanely annoying and has been doing this for over a year now ... I'm always updating the app and it never helps the issue

Can't open any chats, it immediately crashes the app. Tried restarting the app, clearing cache, restarting my phone, and reinstalling the app and no matter what I try I can't open any chat with any person without the app crashing. This has been going on for months for me now and to not be able to communicate on a communication app is definitely a severe issue that needs to be addressed.

There are glitches with this app that affect the keyboard when I'm typing- letters duplicate twice and often even three and four times like "ttthhiiss". Also, the notification icon indicating that I have messages on individual chat bubbles do not come up over that chat bubble icon, the message counter icon only comes up over the main app widget, which defeats the purpose of having a separate bubble on my homescreen for a specific chat.
