2/5Not the best app in the world
Okay, There needs to be another update on this app. There are 2 Major problems, number 1 the “Bubbles" keep overlapping and you Can't read what you wrote/typed. And 2, there's this feature on the app where you click on Random Message and when I used it so-called “Jennifer texted me and said “Where are you?” I answered that I was at home. But what I don't like, is that the only answers they'll give you are Yep, Yup, Yea, Ok, Uh-huh, and only things that mean "yes" no matter what you say or ask. That's it for now, and Happy Birthday to Dr. Seuss in 2 weeks.

1/5About the horrible app
This app is so lame! It use to be awesome and now its dumb the texting sound doesn't work. The trick to lock, show a blank screen, And the countdown settings doesn't work plus the settings overlap... U guys stole 99 cents from me and others and its a cruel thing to do! Plz fix it or i will never buy anything from your company and i will tell other ppl not to get anything from your company and they will tell other ppl and u will loose this app u paid a lot of money for

1/5This app is terrible
I bought the .99 version of it because with the free version the messages overlap and I thought if I got the .99 version that would solve it, WRONG. As far as I'm concerned this app is a piece of you know what and you should really try to fix it because it ridiculous to buy an app for .99 that DOESNT EVEN WORK. sorry for being so harsh...I really am. Please try to fix it ~Thanks

1/5Update Making App Aweful
Since the latest update messages conflict with pics, the "set-up" page doesn't hide like before, and reading the fake text(s) the messages do not look realistic. Please revert back to the "old" version--updates doesn't always mean better functionality or better.

2/5New Update
I updated mine and now things aren't working as well as it did before I updated it. The messages collides and the waiting screen isn't working. Please have an update to fix these problems ASAP.
