I like the UI and UX of the latest version. The designers did pretty well. And that's the only reason I'm giving it a 3 star. However, it's very frustrating when one wants to transfer/backup chats. Whenever something happens to my phone or I'm getting a new phone, 9 out of 10 times, I don't get all my chats restored plus the process in restoring chats is so frustrating. I'm an active user of X and it doesn't matter what phone I'm using to log in, my chats and account gets instantly restored.

I Loved the additional features of the GB WhatsApp. Being able to choose themes & such, maybe you can upgrade this version with some of those features? Also, I just picked up on a bug with the current upgrade, whenever I go to view my own status the 'total viewers' at the bottom does not show. So I have to exit the status to go back in, in order for me to check that information. Not sure whats up with that but hopefully it's fixable as it gets annoying.

Never had a problem with this app. It's quick, easy to use, and very convenient. I much prefer it to all the other massaging apps on the market. Especially those that are attached to ultra huge platforms and monopolisers. I'd recommend this not just for its functionality but also because it respects my privacy. It leaves me alone. It doesn't hassle me or ask me for things (only an occasional update).
