RM Messenger 17+

Have I said it’s AWFUL? What a botch job. The old platform was clear, concise, full of features that FACILITATED connections. Most importantly it was user-friendly. This Messenger App is the exact opposite in every way, shape, and form.

The migration to this App makes me wonder not only why but who? Whoever coded the App should be fired (castrated, that’s be more appropriate.

I have been a paid member (Client side) for 5 years. My monthly membership had just renewed last weekend but after finally trying the App, I decided to completely cancel my membership and removed the App from my iPhone and iPad.

I have great sympathy for those relying on RM for income.

So far so good on the latest version. It loads faster and appears in the surface at least to have been worked on instead of just phoned in like so many other things this company does despite taking in ridiculous sums of money from its users. This version feels like a rewrite but we’ll see. A lot of the bugs of the previous versions reared their ugly heads after using it for a while. I’ll update this review as I use the app more. But seriously guys…2 years to update the app to something resembling good coding!?

UPDATE 1: The text field for the message is still not showing the text as you type it. The notifications and app badges are still buggy.

Been a provider for 3 years and I would ~love~ to see my 3 years of membership fees going to work in any perceivable way.
1. Must constantly delete/download the app to get notifications to work again
2. Keyboard does not follow same autocorrect rules as the rest of my apps (does not capitalize)
3. Only displays profile photos sometimes. I have to go open chat on the full site to click through to profile details
4. FIX NOTIFICATIONS. It’s the main reason for a messenger app, no?
