Ratings and reviews

I'm only giving this a 2 bc the issue is incredibly frustrating and deters me from wanting to post. so... while typing, different words will be deleted instead of corrected, causing me to have to go back through and ensure words weren't omitted bc the app deletes them while typing for whatever reason. Please fix this. It's an integral part of the app.

My only complaint so far is that pictures uploaded to groups are always cropped into a landscape rectangle, which chops off sizeable chunks of the image. You can kinda scroll around the image, and zoom in, but you can't zoom out beyond the initial level, and it only lets you scroll a tiny bit before it starts to scroll the whole page. Otherwise great considering it's free to use!

It works for what it is, but the app was simpler and easier to use in its previous version. Their was simply no reason to change it. To go from the "phoenix recovery" to "New form" is also baffling. Unless someone told you, you'd have no idea they changed the app. This is just one of those classic, if it ain't broke - don't fix it moments. Someone always wants to come in and change things 🙄

What’s new

Chat just got smoother: typing stays responsive while messages come in, and conversations bounce back better after connection hiccups. We also improved live stream reliability when you return to the app, and check-in and manual registration are faster and steadier for event hosts. Plus general performance and stability improvements.
