Pretty Good
Aspiring Robot
As chat apps go, this one works pretty well, but it still has a few rough edges. Particularly, its handling of encryption keys is rough compared to other apps like Wire and Keybase—Every time a new device is added, everyone needs to go through and re-verify it, which is a hassle and a turn-off for getting my friends to use it. If you don’t re-verify, everyone in every chat you participate in will see a scary warning, and there’s no way to permanently dismiss it.
really good on newer phones

can’t use encrypted chats because encryption seems to make my phone overheat and shut down. for unencrypted chat, i love it. works fast, and notifications are easier on my battery than some apps.
Empty room issue
PanicLiz
You know what’s really annoying and I can’t do anything about it but I should???? When rooms are empty and I can’t leave them!! They just appear in my messages or room log but I can’t get rid of them. It’s so absolutely unacceptable at this point. Months go by, update after update, but no one seems to be able to fix this issue. I have like 20 empty rooms that take up my screen that when I try to leave, they say the room doesn’t exist therefore I can’t leave them...........

needs a lot of work. Can’t convince my friends to join because making accounts doesn’t work, searching for friends doesn’t work, and can’t even upload most photos TLDR avoid and stick with closed source They may spy on you but at least it works
The most confusing mess I have ever encountered

Useless bot, seemingly thousand options but to find a user by user name and have a simply one to one chat is impossible ... waste of my time
Gif

It’s an ok app but please update so I can copy and paste a gif from the photos or another app directly into my message. I can only upload a gif if it’s saved in my photos, not if it’s in another app like giphy or GIFwrapped
Great app.

Half of these low ratings are people who have no idea what they are doing. I have had no issues with this aside from fixing the learning curve.
Dont waste your time

Tried it out. Great at first. Crystal clear calls, then suddenly no call option. Now only video calls. Video meeting calls. Are they still private and part of my chat room? No idea. Not clear within the app. Now video calls starting when i dont click on “call” (not that any of them ever worked after the first call) just ringing forever and being frustrated for well over an hour. Feels super sketchy to be honest. I wont be returning.
Great app but issue with iOS 12.2

Keeps getting Errors.Can’t log on or even register a new account. iPhone 6 with iOS 12.2. This is the only version I am having trouble with. Is it just me? it works great on android and iOS 10.
