Reviews Testimonials

While Catch Up has a user friendly interface, there are concerns about potential awkwardness and confusion. The swipe based system is intuitive, but it might cause friction due to quick message evaluation and the gamified aspect of swiping. Users appreciate the reduced notification fatigue and increased focus on important messages, but some find the swiping mechanic distracting and worry about missing crucial details.
