Software Reviews and Criticism

  great app but one flaw

  I use the app for a couple of month and really like it. It’s easy to use and allows you to use your computer keyboard to write whatsapp messages instead of typing on the tiny phone keyboard. I actually prefer using whatsapp in this way instead of using it on my phone. Connecting it to your phone is pretty easy and once the connection is established it’s pretty reliable and easy to reconnect in case it’s needed. However, since the last update I have one major problem. There’s no way to silence the app on my Windows!!! Even when disabling the “play sound for notification” in my notification settings in the systems preferences the app still makes “blip” whenever I get a message. This makes it really annoying when watching a movie or a show while the app is running in the background. Please, please, please dear developers, fix this issue! It was working just fine in the previous version… Also, I cannot send pictures using the FreeChat app as the drag-and-drop option just wouldn’t work. But I can live without this option or just use my phone for sending pics. But please, fix the notification issue… thanks!

  It is great, could always have some improvements

  I love to be able to text from my computer and this app works extremely well. I would like to see the posibility to respond to calls from computer, I believe everything else you do in your phone with whatsapp is possible with this app.

  I’m enjoying free chat a lot! I have it on my phone. I wish I Could also get it on my tablet but so far I can’t find the wayto do that; that way, I could have it across all my devises; but you can’t have everything can ya! Free chat is a good way to send my looong videos and voicememo’s that won’t fit on email. When I’m going to send anything to a friend, the first thing I ask them is “do you have free chat?” I don’t do facebook, instagram, tweeter or any of those social media’s. So, free chat is right up my ally.

  Incomplete functionalities

  Can send and receive text messages and get notifications, so that’s ok for the basics BUT, for some reasons, I cannot scroll down the list of chats on the left; I need to use the search function instead. Then one major function is missing compared to the WhatsApp inc app: the ability to record voice messages directly on your laptop is missing! So you always need to pick your phone for sending voice messages. Can’t also place or receive whatsapp calls but this maybe the same for other desktop apps.
