Not enough free
Edit: okay, i know it isn’t official and Apple makes people pay $99 per year to publish apps, but come on! At least let us text for free.
Response from developer
As this is not the official Telegram app, it is built entirely from the ground up by an individual (me). Development takes time and money, which this project is fully funded from subscribers. I simply cannot let everything be free. The idea is quite simple, you can mostly read stuff, but you need to pay to write stuff. I don't understand what you mean by "cannot open watch faces" though. Watch face complications are supported in Pigeon, and it doesn't require a subscription. It acts as a shortcut to open the app quickly from the watch face. Update 1: Its not just the $99 per year fees, I spend a good amount of time to develop this app. Noted that you meant the .watchface files. I have tested it on my own watch, and it applies fine. Note that you need to have an active subscription to open documents, including .watchface files.
Not enough free, and no good features

What I meant about the watch face is the file extension to open watch face wasn’t opening. Also, now that I think of it, you should make a full watch face.

Great Watch TG Client
Best app ATM
Оформил подписку для поддержки разработки!
Best messaging app
Not a fan of the pricing options
Good app, I realized my previous review was not at the fault of the developer
It does need to refresh fairly often, but this is to be expected from any app that connects to a messaging inbox.

Hi Bakacoco, from my end, subscriptions are set, and then handled by Apple’s App Store, which includes renewal. I can assure you that there are only 2 possible subscription options that I’ve set, one for monthly renewals, another for yearly. Prices have been set at USD 1.99 for the monthly plan and USD 12.99 for the yearly plan, since the very beginning of the app. As the developer, I am unable to influence the renewal process, by design of the App Store, as that’s all automated and handled by the App Store, on behalf of me. Likewise, it should not be possible for the App Store to charge you that the yearly subscription price, on a monthly basis. I urge you to escalate this to App Store support, if this really is what you are facing. If necessary, you may also contact me via email (contact@vincentneo.com), should you require additional information. I can show you my App Store Connect setup too, if you don’t believe me.
I’d give it 0 stars if possible.
I’ve been charged multiple times for the same “one year 12.99” subscription over the last month alone.
fairly certain this app is a scam

Don’t download this app
Do not download this as it is a complete waste of money and will only get your devices/phone number banned from the platform. Buyer BEWARE!!

Hi, With regards to allegations regarding Telegram account bans based on third party app usage, it is false. Please refer to https://github.com/tdlib/td/issues/2940#issuecomment-2186893068 which is a reply from a TDLib developer, of which, TDLib is the official open source API provided by Telegram themselves and is the API used for developing Pigeon. You may read more about TDLib here: https://core.telegram.org/tdlib Also, Pigeon is free to use for basic features, with all subscription options having a 1 week free trial period, which you would not be charged if you cancelled the subscription during this period. Since you’ve faced issues using the app in 24 hours of using the app, you should be able to cancel it for free, if you did attempt to subscribe to it.
Garbage level performance
Response from developer
Hi clickbrain.com, I apologise for the poor experience that you've faced. Unfortunately, there are many variables that can cause connection issues, which often are out of our control, as the developer of the app. One of the reasons why the app is free to use for many features, such as reading newest messages, is to allow users to try the app out, evaluate its performance, usability, etc, before deciding whether or not, to subscribe for more features, of which, users can also choose to cancel during the first 7 days of free trial. Regardless, I understand that you currently wish to refund your subscription. You may refer to https://support.apple.com/en-us/118223 for information on refunds. Thank you.
There is potential
This app is not yet good enough to deserve a subscription model.
Best messaging app
This is the app you’ve been looking for
You can open links,
You can delete messages,
You can react to messages,
You can even play videos!
And you can also customize the app to your liking 10/10 💯💯
I can finally send telegrams on my watch since Nanogram got removed. Yay
Telegeam
Please fix lags and i’ll buy it
