Still broken.

Uninstalled it for a number of weeks, reinstalled recently, hoping they'd worked some bugs out. Nope. Still loads slowly, doesn't want to connect promptly, still displays annoying errors. It's still faster and easier to just load a web browser and go to messenger(dot)com or Facebook itself on the web. Again, the Facebook app itself works wonderfully, so what's the problem here? Different development teams?

This is perfect for windows, and is the best app out there. You can freely message people and organize group chats. I've never seen anything like this for FREE...thank you facebook messenger

It works, but why can't I shrink the window size?

I don't like how much screen real estate it requires. If I shrink it down to what I consider to be a normal messenger width (I want it to take up only 1/4 or less of my screen), it doesn't resize the conversation but instead cuts off the side of the remaining text. The app seems to want to take up 1/3 or more of my screen width and I think that's honestly kind of ridiculous. I don't need that much space, I want to keep it a small column off to one side and use the vast majority of my screen for my work.

Fake notification

The live tile shows notification, and when I open the app there's no new messages or friend message request.

Please update the app with call facility. And there are no options to add more than one picture at a time!! Why the developers ignore Windows users?!! Sad...

Scrolling from messages

Its good because you can use the video call unlike before.. I hope you can also check the messages because you cannot scroll back to your previous messages, if you try to use the mouse wheel it cannot scroll up or down.. pleas fix it.. thanks and more power..

When it works, it's great. But...

The app is good when it works but it sometimes chooses to not launch anymore. I'd attempted to uninstall and reinstall but it won't let me saying that I should launch it because it's already downloaded. However, when the app does work, it's very useful and simple.
