Not the best app ever.This is to counter all the 5s, fools don’t know what a top app is anymore.

crashing nothing workscan’t open any chats, can’t press any buttons, nothing responds or works, very frustrating where i have live chats and need to reply

UnfairIf you lose the original email you kept with your number it will give you no free account access any more and it will display technical errors unless you pay them thats unfair
