- ucha 13y agoThey don't have a subscription model on the iPhone and the first year is free on the other devices. Then you puncture the 30% the app store gets and you're left with a mid-low 8-digits revenue.
- ddeck 13y agoThey got $8 million in funding a couple of years back. One would hope that would be sufficient.
- Al-Khwarizmi 13y agoWe are talking about a company that makes a crappy product with obvious and blatant limitations (such as not being able to use the same account in different devices, or with different SIMs, or on an iPad, let alone on a PC... and if you have a bad connection messages can arrive out of order - is it so hard to use timestamps? Why are messaging apps getting wrong things that IRC was doing fine back in the 80's?) To be honest, I'm not surprised.
- thirdsun 13y agoYes, everything they do feels rather sloppy - of course that doesn't stop any of my "normal" friends from almost requiring it for any kind of messaging. A necessary evil in my opinion.
