it keeps LAGGING. I've used other language apps and this is the worst when it comes to how slowly it reconnects and sends off messages. Also, reducing the volume during calls it doesn't seem to work. When i try to reduce the volume it remains loud as if nothing happened. But whenever i leave the app my volume's fine. That's why i can't use the app in public or anywhere without an earpiece.
