This app is a bit of a mess. A nice idea really but I dont think it manages to pull it off very well, the number of people Ive chatted with that would rather give me their number so we dont have to use the app is telling. There are a few reasons for this, mainly being that the app isnt very user friendly in that the user has very little input on their experience within the app; dont want daily notifications about whatever inane topic the mods have posted on the public board? Too bad, youll have to turn off notifications entirely, which some of us might as well do since a lot of the time the app forgets to notify us of incoming messages (this is only cushioned by when, 3 days later you awkwardly slink back into a chat after not being told the person replied, they are quite understanding since they have personal experience with this phenomenon).
Have trouble reading the neon green text bubble background for messages youve sent? No theme or colour options. Have trouble reading long messages because the default text size is set to huge? The app doesnt conform to native text size settings. And all the ads and emails and seemingly default functions you can click on that give you a pop up to upgrade to premium? We get it, you have to make money somehow, but youve crossed the line into being obtrusive and seeing the ads in the many places youve put them make me not want to spend time on the app at all.
The ads however arent the main reason for my low rating, its the fact that many of the issues I have with the app are chat related, are functions you would expect from any well functioning messaging apps, and since the app is fundamentally a chat app, this is troubling.
