Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today.

Facebook Messenger reviews

Problems with connectivity issues when both parties, over video call, have excellent wi-fi connections: During the call one or both individuals will have difficulties hearing the other. As in, someone is talking but not a word is heard. As this is the only app I know of, so far, that is socially integrated with the ability to share screens, it creates a lot of frustration. This only occurred with the last update, please resolve, we've uninstalled and reinstalled to no avail.

I find the app very useful but there's a huge bug to be fixed. I have an android and the issue is with the bubbles interfering with other apps working properly once the bubble has popped up while using the keyboard in the other apps. A message about the app not being optimized for Android pops up. Then I have to restart my phone because I can no longer navigate my other apps due to freezing up. Please fix this.

New problem: group video chats effects don't go away once you turn them off, and 95% of the effects don't work when chosen. If you've scrolled to an earlier conversation, if your phone goes from portrait to landscape it will put you at the recent message in the convo, losing your place and having to start over. New issue: on Android, switching to landscape mode in video chat does not rotate the user's camera. I'm 90 degrees sideways. Happens every time.

DatChat reviews

At first, I didn't realize how to use the destroy text within a certain time or how many times it can be viewed before self deleting. There is a small bomb icon next to the bottom text box that you can turn on and off with a touch. In the off position it texts as normal not hiding the text or anything, but you could always go back and destroy, or nuke what you have said. If you turn the bomb icon on you now can set how long your text last and they must hold the box on the screen to read.

Needs an Interface Overhaul. This app has the best security and privacy features out of any social media app, but it's user interface is very unpolished, and it feels like an outdated website. I feel like this app could draw in more users if it had a more attractive user interface. Another feature that would be nice would be adding different notification sounds to different contacts or adding an in-app guide to features that are not immediately obvious, similar to the tutorial chat.

- Ryutsuki Shiba

Really interesting privacy features and has potential. Could use some nice UI upgrades. The only difficulty I have is manually navigating to my previous posts in groups if the notifications are dismissed. The notifications play sounds if you don't turn them off yourself, even when you're on vibrate/silent FYI.
