Ratings and reviews

Update: worsening each day. Constantly crashes and freezes. It used to be great but now I dread using it. Barely opens and I have to uninstall/reinstall daily which makes me lose all my backups. If I didn't have to then I wouldn't use the product. Staff takes a long time to reach out and help. Only two personal accounts on Android compared to three on Apple. Update: I've had to uninstall and reinstall FOUR TIMES in the last week and even more overall. No history is saved.

I think overall the app is good & I am glad to be introduced to it. However, there are a few issues. Sometimes it says sent but it's not delivered. It does NOT allow my read receipts to work EVER. I know they are read because they are responded to, but I can't see they are read. The picture was a very clear picture and yet when saved your app made it grainy. When I edit a comment it doesn't post right away and so the whole message isn't delivered yet.

New version sucks. Used this app for about a year, liked it quite bit. The interface was unique and refreshing, functionally simple and easy to use. Was just about to invite more friends to join, but the latest update suddenly changed the look and wiped out all past conversations with individual accounts (not groups). A serious app can't do that. Very bad. And the new interface looks so lame. I recommend you bring back the last version.
