Useless for Android - since the app Yappy has been removed from the Google Play store! Maybe you shouldn't write in your header on your website that it's specifically for Android; since you do not even have the app in the Google Play store. Jeez.

Keeps crashing. Have to keep restarting over and over until it finally opens. That's in addition to the fact that the messages sent and received don't always appear in the thread on your phone when you text someone.

I use Yappy daily... a huge productivity boost. I have the extension installed and then a Yappy window pinned to the taskbar. The only issue is group texting doesn't work on my device, but I believe it is being worked on. Thanks to the talented developer!
