User Reviews

User reviews are mixed. Many praise the familiar, ad-free interface and overall reliability, but a pattern of delivery problems persists: messages failing, delays, and occasional duplicates; delivery reports are unreliable; media sending is limited by image/video quality and size; and some devices experience crashes or compatibility issues, prompting feature requests like read receipts, in-chat search, and RCS support.

Pros

Familiar, easy-to-use interface.
Ad-free and privacy-friendly (not spyware).
Generally reliable performance on many devices.
Positive user sentiment and loyalty (users feel it is a solid option).

Cons

Frequent message delivery failures and delays (messages not sending, not receiving, and occasional duplicates).
Delivery reports not working or are inconsistently available.
Media sending quality and size limits (blurry images, GIF limits, and long/large videos).
Crashes or compatibility issues on newer devices (e.g., frequent closing on some phones).

Recent reviews
