seroius resource hog. some messages never sync. overall, not that good. normal whatsapp web works much better.
Decidi sair do Windows para o Linux Mint. Como uso o Whatsapp profissionalmente, minha primeira preocupação foi encontrar uma forma de usar o whatsapp no computador. Eu já estava resignado com necessidade de usar pelo browser, porém vi que havia uma alternativa, que é esse programa. Ele não é apenas um "port" do Whatsapp Web, pois ele consegue fazer chamadas de vídeo , coisa que o whatsapp web não consegue. No entanto, é um pouco diferente do aplicativo para Windows do Whatsapp. Sabemos que o Whatsapp já é um programa com suas limitações, problemas etc, e o programa para Windows já é muito pesado e difícil de mexer, portanto não acho que faz sentido esperar que a versão para Linux corrija os problemas já conhecidos do Windows, considerando as circunstâncias. Por isso eu aprovei e recomendo, pois cumpre o que é esperado muito bem. Obrigado aos desenvolvedores.
It works as intended to be honest. I'm still a newbie and just migrated from windows, works just as well (or unwell) as the Windows app. Seems to need less memory as well.
large and in charge. works well but fills up space quickly, more than the native clients on mac/windows (of course, these is due to my files, but it doesn't grow as quickly with the native client)
It works, but honestly the UI is not great at all. It's broken half the time. I would reccomend ZapZap over this 100%.
4 because this is within half an hour of installing it. But It really does just work and linking to the account on my phone with a QR code was it. Really! I'll come back to this with a more considered review when I've been using it for a while.
Linking the account worked flawlessly and everything works as expected. Only downside is that the cursor icons are changed inside the app for some reason, but that's just a graphical thing, and sometimes it has some minor lag.
Unable to link account. Gets stuck on 'loading your chats' for yonks then errors due to a sync error. Have reinstalled andtested with QR code and phone number.
It's hard to work with Whatsapp API's, and this thing works well enough. Occasional glitches, but nothing major at all. Biggest annoyance is that it sometimes takes over desktop notifications, and opens when I wanted to open another thing. But, rarely.
lo positivo, no se desloguea y se actualizan los nuevos mensajes al prender la pc. como negativo, deja de actualizar y no notifica de nuevos mensajes hasta que abres la aplicacion, no pude enviar un simple pdf, mensajes antiguos siguen apareciendo como no leidos, los avatares se ven cuadrados no en circulos como en las capturas.
Shows messages but doesn't work at all. Will hang on messages that are infact send, but it will just not get them.Doesn't send messages.
i used this for a while. but it stopped working and then days later i had to relink my device. also it forced me to use the light theme for no reason
