Customer Reviews
Awesome
This app is awesome but the only thing I don't like is you have 2 have Internet to text!!!!! Ughh¿
No ITouch support
Not good if you are using an itouch. Simply does not work.
Great concept, but horribly unrealiable
I've been testing this app out for over a week now. I have the latest version and have even uninstalled and reinstalled the app. Simply put, I'm losing about 20% of my messages; meaning, 20% of the messages I send OUT are not being received by the intended recipient. I have been watching this closely and asking people if they have received my messages and on a good day, it's a few lost messages, but some times, up to 40% of the messages I send out are lost.
This messaging app has not been reliable for me and I hate having to constantly ask "Did you get my last message" to whomever I'm texting. Based on this, this app is useless to me since it's less then reliable. Would be a great app if it worked, but it simply doesn't. Every day, lost messages, never to be seen again.
I have also had the experience (three times), where I've texted someone and they have received the message twice. The program is simply too buggy for me to use. Background and custom tones are nice, but if the core of the program itself isn't reliable, what good is it to have a parrot background? I downloaded this app to send messages reliably and it doesn't do the job.
Make sure you fully try this out for three months before buying and make sure you check to see if people are getting your messages. I wouuld have easily bought the program for life if it worked for me all the time.
