User Reviews

The reviews converge on a broken forwarding feature post-update, frequent crashes and instability, and regression of core functionality. Many users want the older version back, and report issues with saving/loading media and inconsistent Telegram-like behavior. Overall sentiment is negative, with calls for fixes, reliability improvements, and better developer communication.
Pros
  • UI resembles the original Telegram app (positive for some users).
  • Some pros and nice features reportedly remain despite issues.
Cons
  • Advanced/forwarding feature no longer works or is non-functional; cannot forward from restricted/private chats.
  • Crashes and instability: frequent crashes, startup failures, and the app closing unexpectedly.
  • Updates/regressions remove or break core functionality; many users want the older version back.
  • Inability to load/save media and saved messages; media stuck loading or not saving from chats.
  • Lack of clear developer communication or timely updates.
