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

Freshchat reviews

One of the biggest missing features is the ability to set a custom notification tone. I'm not going to look at my phone *everytime* I hear a notification sound. The Freshdesk app has this feature yet in Freshchat, where it's arguably more important to set a distinct notification sound, it's completely absent. I really hope this is coming extremely soon. I'm tired of looking for ways to override this. Not having this feature is vexing. EDIT: In response to Freshworks Reply. I noticed this awhile back. I am still disappointed I cannot assign my own custom sound.

2 Things that are really needed: 1) the ability for the agent to go offline if they are busy! 2) to get a notification sound each time the customer replies. Currently you only get one notification when the chat first gets initiated. For all the subsequent ones, you have to constantly keep an eye on the chat to see if there are new replies. Incredibly annoying!

- Sam Fard

It need startup faster (remove startup animation example), when a customer start to chat, you need reply immediately before they left your website. And it don't push notification when i have new message in chat. Ux is not good enough.

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.

- Kelsey Meyer

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.
