Ratings and Reviews
RAM hog
The app is really neat as it is much easier to reply with pictures etc than fiddling with phone.
But it has some serious issues with memory use... I have seem it hog up to 15GB on my 72GB iMac.....
Language support
It doesn't detect what language I'm typing in. The messenger on facebook does.
Uses wayyy too much cpu power
It bascially swallows every inch of my cpu's power. I've seen it use up to 80% which makes my computer sound like an airplane.
