This app is wonderful. My only problem is purely technical. Ever since a few days ago, the app doesn't shrink to accomodate my keyboard and it doesn't sit above my navigation buttons, so when I write, I can't read what I'm writing and I cannot send what I write bc my send button is underneath my navigation buttons unless I change my navigation bar settings to just use gestures. Please fix this because I love using this app and having to switch back and forth makes it hard to use the app. :(

Impossible to use. The bit only says it is having issues. When a post to a forum my messages disappears or it duplicates, there's no in between. I cannot change my alias or do anything related to fill an input because the keyboard just won't show up. I couldn’t even leave a message to a listener. So was is this all about if I can chat. Not a very friendly user experience.

The website doesn't have a back button and both the website(on pc) and mobile app are very laggy. it would be appreciated if for listeners, there's a separate notepad for each member as it would help organize everything better
