## Review summary

Users praise cross-device messaging without a phone number and ease of use across Apple and non-Apple devices, but multiple reviews highlight performance/stability issues (CPU, battery drain, lag) and older-device compatibility problems, plus a cluttered UI with threaded messages making it hard to view conversations.

### Pros

- Cross-device support with no phone number required (uses email) for messaging.
- Easy to use and efficient for texting.
- Works across Apple and non-Apple devices (e.g., iPhone to Samsung).

### Cons

- Performance and stability issues: high CPU usage, battery drain, lag, and occasional freezes.
- Poor support for older devices (iPhone 5, older iPads, iPod Touch) and update prompts.
- Cluttered UI and threaded conversations making it hard to view messages.
