The monetization strategy of the app has drawn significant criticism from users, primarily due to the overwhelming presence of ads that intrude on the messaging experience. Many users express frustration over the inability to easily remove ads without subscribing to a premium service, which they find costly and often ineffective, as ads still appear even after payment. Overall, while some users tolerate the ads for a free app, the consensus is that the intrusive nature of the advertisements detracts from the app's functionality and user satisfaction.
- “I have been using it for more than a year and it's good; it keeps messages private and has no ads. Kudos to the app!”
