Review summary

DirectChat offers a useful chat bubble interface for multiple messaging apps and emphasizes user privacy. However, many users report severe stability problems, including frequent crashes and compatibility issues with recent Android versions causing touch freezes. The shift to a subscription model with limited features for free users has disappointed many. Multimedia support and key features are lacking, and background data usage is very high. Developer support is inconsistent, leading to unresolved user issues. While the concept is appreciated, the app's recent updates have caused significant usability problems.

2024-11-09	Iv*****	The app is good. However you cannot reply to that specific message (eg. Swiping on it) and the reacting to the message from someone in the conversation.
2024-09-01	Do*****	Used to work very well. I was very pleased. But suddenly, a couple of weeks ago, the app lost the ability to open related apps — all of those in the apps list. The app is now less functional than the basic Android notification system. I wanted to report this fault to the developer directly, but can't find any way to do this. I have no choice but to uninstall the app and voice a public complaint via these reviews. EDIT: in anticipation of a fix I am raising my rating back to 5⭐.
2024-08-25	Sw*****	Great app! However in the current version, unable to open the app directly from the chat bubble. Pressing the button to open the app's chat window in the bubble does not do anything.
2024-07-30	LO*****	Last update not working well Apps crashing again and again even after clear data and reinstalled, still same problem Update (30 July 2024) Problem still persist even after latest update . The app become too worst now Again and again error of service disconnect And even not a single chat head appear Paid users also suffers a alot Please solve the problem
2024-07-28	Co*****	Question please: how much battery usage does it consume in the background, cannot seem to kill the background process? Feature request please: 1. Gesture system on the bobblehead instead of just floating ? Click/ Long click/Up Down/Left Right. 2. Dark Mode in the settings pages! 2. Standard light and dark themes, but still allowing customization?
2023-07-24	An*****	App does what it says, but only offers a subscription for most features. Can disable ads for $10, but cannot adjust basic things like transparency. For an app that already requires so many permissions it feels oddly predatory to push this hard for subscriptions, and the rate is frankly excessive at like 6 bucks a month. Unfortunate, as the functionality is solid, but hard to trust the Deb given this strategy.
2023-05-07	An*****	Gone to subscription model, but the developer did the right thing and offered all users a free life-time subscription. However, since upgrading my phone, the app shows to be pro but operates as if it isn't and the developer is nowhere to be found to help rectify the issue. Otherwise it's a good solid app that works very well but it's long overdue for dark mode support. NOTE: Until the developer resolves my pro access, I am forced to give the app one star only.
2022-12-22	Da*****	I have emailed the developers listed contact email address twice now and still haven't gotten a response. I have directchat pro but now since it's no longer a supported app I had to send my order number for the pro version to get a coupon code for premium features on the free app. Otherwise I'd probably give the app 5 stars as I've been using it for almost 3 years and absolutely love it. Please fix this issue.
2022-12-20	a *****	Been working quite well for a long time suddenly now it stop me from accessing any other apps at all. I have to go to settings, and force stop this. Msg keep saying Direct Chat is not optimised for latest version of android. (OneUI5 I guess). Will have to uninstall until fixed. 24hrs later Edit Thanks for your quick reply and possible fix. The problem has ceased and things seem to be back to how they were! Thanks
2022-12-12	An*****	It was working good with me on android 12 till the last update that supposed to fix the problem of freezing touch when the bubbles appear but the opposite happended and it bring the problem back and the touch stopped again when the bubbles appear so please try to fix it as soon as possible 🙏🙏 and it will be fine if u add more features for the App. Thanks in Advance 💕
