After several days of playing with BBMe I realised that it is BY FAR the best messaging app there is. No other app can compare to BBMe.... Here are some of the features that BBMe has:
-Pin chats to top
-@mentions of participants in group
-Delivery and Read receipts in group, white D for delivered to some, Blue D for delivered to All. White R to read by some, Green R for delivered to ALL (in group)
-Hide Chat
-Set Passlock code for BBMe app
-Mute chat(and choose how long)
-Retract
-Edit
-forward
-easy search within chat
-set group chat to Priority notifications (all messages are with priority sound+vibrate)
-quote
-timed message (very nice feature)
-easy Contact send
-Beautiful simple design
-contacts/groups/chat/activity buttons
-reliability
-secure advanced encription
-no screenshots of chats allowed
-in chats tab, for groups you can see Read/delivered icon and its colour without entering group
-customizable ping
-group ping (also customizable)
-no adds
-directly cut video lenght upon sharing inside app
-easily swipe between posted pictures in groups
-Dark Theme Option!
-chose font size for chats
-easy and functional share options
-super fast and stable!
-less battery and memory use!
-dropdown quick msg Preview and reply outside app
-Unchanged media quality when posting!
-Great Video and voice call quality!!
-Login with BBID, no need to share your phone number to everyone to Login
If I have to give mark to similar apps, if BBM is 8/10, BBMe is 10/10, simply Phenomenal app!!!
Garbage like WhatsApp and Viber with adds, lack of Ping, timed messages, contacts and groups Tab, apps that share your info, phone number etc... I will not even mark....
So, my Strongest recommendation , if you want Best app for messages etc, BBMe is Number1!!!
Price of 5usd (after 1 year free) is VERY low and cheap!!!
Enjoy!!!
