Verizon Messages Customer Insights

1. UPDATE: PRIOR to the latest update, I uninstalled/reinstalled & it seems to be working, though I lost the messaging history for a lot of messages.What happened? Verizon App Manager is downloading and installing games without my permission for the past week or so, and at the same time I'm getting repeated error msgs through Verizon Messages.

2. Try updating this app after its developer provides a fix for this error." Otherwise, I've had many years of smooth, reliable use!!a pretty great messaging app, my only complaint is that when i recieve videos, they're very glitchy & low quality, sometimes not having audio at all, even if the original video from the sender was high quality and had audio.

3. I was reluctant to switch because I hoped the problems would be ironed out eventually but they've only gotten worse and I've had to switch to another app for good consistent performance.I have used this app for years, I recommended it to everyone who was jealous of my customizations, it truly has a lot of features that aren't available in any messaging apps I've found.

4. I tried to report a bug within the app and it just gives me options to send the report to my own contacts...well that's obviously not going to solve anything! If I don't hear back asap I'm deleting this app for good.Used to be a great app until they decided to make it better.

5. Even after updating this stays the same, I hope I can find a way to get this fixed.The app keeps shutting down everytime I try to create a message and everytime I receive a message.

6. Constantly force closes, downloads random games, doesn't send/receive messages, slow.

7. It has been reported to them, numerous times, for several years now and even has debugging data sent to them, but they still refuse to fix this extremely frustrating issue.

8. I'm so frustrated I've switched to the Samsung messages app which I really don't like!I have enjoyed this app for years, but lately, it has had issues.

9. I've used this messaging app for years and up until about a year ago it's been great.

10. Like now, I'm not receiving message notifications as I have in time past, where it shows a preview of the message coming in.

11. It will either get corrected extremely soon or I will be forced to switch.Once upon a time, I would have rated this app at 5 stars...but over the past few months, something continues to go wrong.
