I was both surprised and impressed by such fast responses from the developer of the plugin as well as the fast resolution to the issue that I was facing with the plugin. This is such a great plugin that will take your community website to the next level, with outstanding customer service too!!!

A choice you won't regret. THE Messaging plugin your users want AND deserve. Absolutely fantastic. Better Messages does just as promised, it enhances your websites communication to a whole new level - it works flawlessly, is stunning to look at and a joy to use. If you do stumble upon an issue, which is very rare, the developer support is fantastic. If I could rate this higher I would. I will be buying a licence for every site I need Advanced, Feature rich and seamless messaging functionality on. Better Messages is now my go to solution. If you're hesitating- just try it, it's cheap but POWERFUL. How do they do it?

The Besser messenger plugin is very good and has great capabilities. But intuitive perception is not at a good level. It took time to begin to understand it: how to use it, to reveal all its capabilities. The plugin settings show that it has many features
