Review summary

Users praise the app’s simplicity, clean design, and usefulness for local LAN chatting. Repeated complaints focus on missing notifications, lack of message persistence, inability to copy/select text or click links, and unclear or missing Windows/PC support. These are the most requested improvements.

Pros

Very simple and easy to use — users report it’s quick to learn and intuitive.
Clean, neat interface / good-looking design.
Effective for local LAN chat use (useful in class or with LAN setups).

Cons

No push/notifications for new messages — users repeatedly request this feature.
Messages are not persisted (received messages disappear on exit or automatically).
No text selection/copy or clickable links — users want to copy text and tap links.
Lack of clear Windows/PC cross‑platform support — multiple users asked about a desktop version or how to connect to Windows.
