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.
