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.

Update: Are you kidding me? I'm logged out if I run updates via the Play Store? This time I checked immediately because there was a period when I wasn't getting any messages on my phone while the desktop app was getting them,.and it was because I was logged out. I have lost contact with some folks because they don't get my notifications. It's become worse, so whomever is left here with me is basically staying until we all move to another platform.

Ok to start, but then went downhill. I chose this app because it wasn't associated with Facebook, Microsoft, etc., and in the beginning, it worked pretty well. Now, after about one year, the app bogs down so badly it isn't useful anymore. Messages are delayed for minutes and sometimes hours which is not useful to any messaging app. So now I am left again searching for another app which isn't associated with some big name company and full of spyware.
