July 24: New Chat Application - Only on The App & Still Beta
Hello 7 Cups App Users!
This weekend we are going to launch a fancy new feature! But, this feature is still in beta & we need your help to test it. It will be available ONLY on the app! Everyone is welcome to give it a whirl. Here is how it will work!
What will this feature do?
This feature will allow you navigate between varying conversations and chatrooms much faster. It will give you the ability to easily have more than one conversation going at once. (I have tested it, it is very slick).
At the top of the app, you see a bar with up to 5 of your most recent conversations. The conversations will be indicated with your user picture or the chatroom initials. Only 5 will be listed at one time. Once you hit 6, the 6th will drop back to your regular conversation list.
You will be alerted on this top bar when one of your chats has a new message for you to view. Screenshot here!
You will be able to click through to these conversations very easily from this top bar.
(Screen shots coming soon)
How can I turn it on?
In your account settings, you will need to turn this feature on. If you do not turn it on, you will not be able to participate. If you don't like it, you can turn it off at any time.
Should I expect bugs?
Yup, this is brand new!
Where can I report bugs? And give feedback?
Great, we'd love for you to tell us what is working & not working, so we can continue to get it right. Please use this form to file bug reports specifically related to this feature. Remember, if you don't love yet, you can turn it off and go right back to the original app!
Thank you everyone who willing to dive in and give this new feature a try! It should greatly enhance the quality of your chat experience, but we need your help in testing it! All are welcome! I will post in this forum thread when it is live & you can start testing! Please subscribe to the thread for updates!
lets see how this works!
I'm looking in my account settings but can't seem to find how to turn it on; could someone maybe give me some clearer instructions or help me out?

I think that it hasn't been set up just yet. Tomorrow sometime the optioon should be available under settings. :)
Thanks!
As a regular app user, I am so onboard! (-:
@MizMickey
Which app?? iPhone, Android, both? Because they are VERY different apps.
Sure, will test it and report any bug (usually killed by a bug spray lol) it is a great feature and addition to the app.. Thanks guy's
Haha ;)
Definitely gonna try it out! Nice incentive!
This sounds great! I'll make sure I try it!
Cool, thanks for that :)
While we're improving the app, can it be changed so that we can see when our messages get hearted? That's not visible on the app, only the website.
Actually it has the same bug as the website, if you refresh the page or enter the chat after a heart has been given, it will not show up on your screen .
So pumped! The app allows me to be available pretty much all day, so I can take personal requests on the go. Any improvements are much appreciated!

Are we live yet?? :) Also, is this feature for the iPhone app, android app, or both?
Keep checking the updates section of the app store, that way you will be able to see when the app is ready!
@thembj00
Thanks for that tip!! :)
no, this update will be inherited by both apps automatically when it goes live. there will be no need to download an updated app, I believe.
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn--thanks for clarifying that it will be on both apps. Several of us were wondering :P
