Unstable and a lackluster experience
The mobile version is alright (a lot of features that make it stand out) but this feels like a step in the wrong direction. As another reviewer stated, scrolling back up through feeds, or old content causes the app to crash, but the worst problem has to do with messages failing to send (even those without attachments or links to external content). In short, the extra features seem cool, but the app is just buggy, and its core feature seems to be poorly implemented. If you're looking for a solid messaging app on desktop, look elsewhere; hopefully this improves, but for now, my experience has been pretty bad.
Cannot send images when specified a color profile for screen
This bug bothered me a very long time, and recently I found the reason. When screen color profile is at default (Color LCD), everything works fine. But if there was another color profile had been specified to screen in system display settings, then no image can be sent out. I cannot find any other place to submit this bug to the developer, so I can only submit it here, hope the developer can see it and solve it ASAP.
Just Pathetic
As a Chinese, Wechat is a big part of my every-day communication. I downloaded it for Windows but it is just awful. There are so many functions available on the phone version that are not on here. The newly added explore page or (”朋友圈“ in Chinese) is plain terrible. It crashes the app if you scroll back to the feed from days ago. The app needs a lot of improvement.
Great, but needs some updates.
The app itself is great, and the system works well. Bur it needs to have some changes for PC version. One change is that you could read Moments,and also send voice mail. It also needs other things like group voice chats and the abilty to take Red Packets. This app is great!
Why cannot sync the voice messages?
I have trouble syncing the voice messages when I logged into my PC. Is it because of the computer or the wechat version? I checked it is the version up to date. Can anyone tell me what is the problem? I used to be able to send and receive voice messages. Why cannot send anymore with computer?
