Quotes of the week

Hear from some of the most impactful users to drive changes

I switched to Multi-messenger, it is a lot better. This one has intrusive ads, you need to wait for the ad to finish before accessing messages, and pictures can’t be saved directly to your device. The other app works, has added features and only has one banner at the bottom for the free version.

I use my iPad more than my iPhone for messaging. I no longer use WhatsApp because this app is so annoying with all the ads. The 'ad-free' version for $59/year is too much money in my opinion, and the free iPad version is so annoying that it is virtually useless.

This WhatsApp client is more or less the same as the others available that support more than one account. The difference with Messenger Duo is that the developer suffocates you with ads that hog 15-20% of the screen with banners. You are forced to stare at an ad for no less than 5 seconds before opening the app and repeatedly as you use it.
