### 1/5 — Why I hate this

*2025-08-17, version 6.85.2*

I just got this app and idk how! To talk to myself like switching pls update

### 5/5 — love it!!

*2025-02-25, version 6.85.2*

it's a very straightforward app that i use for both story scripting and personal brainstorming. i'd love to be able to get it on more devices than just iphone

### 4/5 — It's good! Just a question-

*2022-11-26*

Will definitely give 5 star after we get answered since... yeah. We're a system using this app for communication and such. Noticed that if we write something in the group yesterday, we can't see the old messages today. Is it meant to be like that? Are there ways to access back to the old messages? 

Otherwiss, this is epic and pretty fun

### 1/5 — Unworkable

*2022-11-19, version 6.84.0*

The app cannot function. I spent a long time setting up everyone’s profiles, then noticed that be ause of a big old banner advertisement at the bottom of my screen I couldn’t actually select a new chatter because they are layered UNDERNEATH the ad.
The menus are nonsense to navigate, the translation for the apps features is a bit of English soup, and you cannot use the app unless you pay to remove the ads (which also pop up every menu switch pretty much, which is a nightmare when you’re trying to find the chatter list menu and get lost.)
I implore you to find another app, this one is not it.

### 3/5 — Entire chats deleting

*2022-06-18, version 6.83.0*

It’s a good app I’ll be honest but I had a whole work schedule and important reminders in it and it’s all gone it’s done this before but this time it had important information please fix it I don’t have good memory and it’s why I use this app

### 4/5 — PLEASE MAKE THIS FOR ANDRIOD

*2022-03-22, version 6.82.1*

Absolutely love this app but have a lot of requests for it to be available on android as well!

### 4/5 — Passcode reset

*2021-02-28, version 6.80.0*

I can’t remember what I set the passcode as since I haven’t used it for a few months, how do I reset it or something?

### 3/5 — How Do You Change The name From To Something Other Than John Doe?

*2019-11-09, version 6.78.0*

I can't figure it out.

### 4/5 — Good!

*2019-10-08, version 6.78.0*

It’s pretty good, letting you add multiple profiles and changing colours.

### 3/5 — One issue - chats deleting themselves

*2019-04-23, version 6.75.0*

I just got the app and I made a short group text sorta thing with six messages to test how it looked. Looked great. BUT when I closed the app and opened the next morning, it was all gone and the group chat didn’t exist. That’s really frustrating, please try to fix that soon
