Super good. Just need additional feature to join calls and share screenshots

This app is absolute garbage. They can't even get something as simple as message notifications right. Here's the scenario. Let's call him Bob. Bob IMs me. I get a notification from Connect saying I have a new conversation invitation, instead of just getting the message. Oh fine, I open Connect...don't see anything. I get an email saying I missed a conversation with Bob including the chat log. I go back to Connect... Bob isn't on my contact list, so I go search for him...symbol just keeps spinning.
