Irritating bugs that go unfixed for years

This app is incredibly frustrating, because its so useful but is marred by rage inducing bugs that go unfixed version after version.

The most irritating bug is that messages constantly remain in the "unread" state even after youve read them, resulting in the apps icon badge telling me there are for example 3 new unread messages. I go in the app and there are indeed 3 bolded messages, but Ive ALREADY read them. I was on the conversation view when they came in! This means I must constantly go into and out of each persons conversation page to clear out "unread" notifications several times to get them to actually go away.

The worst part? This happens for messages that *I* send! Im in a conversation and send a message, then hit the home button. Theres now a badge on the app icon saying "1" new unread message. I go back in the app and back out to the main menu, and what does it show me? My own message I just sent is bolded as if I havent read it. Are you kidding me? I wrote the thing!

This means for every message I send, I have to back out to the main menu, wait a few seconds for the app to tell me that the message I just sent is "unread", then go back into the conversation view to let the app know that I have, in fact, now read the message I just wrote.

Give me a break. Bugs like this make me want to throw my phone out the window every time I use this app.
