Had this before and it used to be great... now my messages come in normally, (no preview though, regardless of selecting it) but when you click the bubble, it just says "New message", "2 new messages" and so on... it doesnt show you what they ACTUALLY SAID... just that you HAVE a message. Never used to do that. I've gone through all the settings 3 times already.. nothing. Kinda renders it pointless.

I have emailed the developers listed contact email address twice now and still haven't gotten a response. I have directchat pro but now since it's no longer a supported app I had to send my order number for the pro version to get a coupon code for premium features on the free app. Otherwise I'd probably give the app 5 stars as I've been using it for almost 3 years and absolutely love it. Please fix this issue.

App does what it says, but only offers a subscription for most features. Can disable ads for $10, but cannot adjust basic things like transparency. For an app that already requires so many permissions it feels oddly predatory to push this hard for subscriptions, and the rate is frankly excessive at like 6 bucks a month. Unfortunate, as the functionality is solid, but hard to trust the Deb given this strategy.
