Better Messages

Outstanding communication platform with excellent support

Better Messages has become an essential part of our WordPress-based training platform. We use it every day for communication between instructors, students and our management team. Real-time messaging, group chats, audio/video calls and screen sharing work reliably and provide a professional user experience. One of the biggest advantages is that everything stays within our own website, without relying on external messaging platforms. The Premium version has been well worth the upgrade. The plugin is well designed, regularly improved, and exactly what we were looking for. Highly recommended!

Amazing Plugin, Great Support

I have a BuddyBoss website and app that uses BetterMessages. BetterMessages works seamlessly with BuddyBoss to enhance the messaging experience for our users. There are many incredible features that work exactly as advertised. I had a unique use case where the push notifications were delayed by a few seconds because of the BuddyBoss plugin, but I reached out to BetterMessages support and they were very helpful. They worked hard to fully understand what was going on and added a small feature that immediately solved the problem.

Best community messaging option on the market

As part of my career as a product manager and entrepreneur I have many times needed to set up an area for a new community to collaborate. The messaging options have never been integrated into a web experience in a seamless way, standalone they offer a sub-optimal user experience with no simple path for integration to a custom online experience. The clean modern UI of Better Messages, along with a stellar front end UX, allows the communications tools friction (and distraction) to slip away allowing our community to focus on the collaboration goals we share.

High Level product and assistance

The plugin works behond expectation and it is automatically compatible with most of the plugins i tested with. Every issue was responded sometimes in minutes….one update was made immediately i reported small insignificant issue. Super Worth to pay the premium version. if you upgrade, basically you get more features that make the chat to make more sense, the messages notifications become muchmore efficient and faster, and obviously I defend that if the software is good, you should help the deveoper to support the costs. Better messages is cool, but upgraded just makes it more complete.

Best All Round Chat Plugin

I needed a chat plugin for BuddyPress, and there is a myriad of plugins to choose from. So I looked at some review sites and chose from there. The plugins were a nightmare. Then I just happened to see this one and I thought, things cant be worse than this. It has everything. Tons of customization. What I particularly like is that if something is not working in reality its 5 minutes to change the setting. I loved the demo site and it’s actually manned by an agent. That was kind of cool. The support has been second to none. I would definitely recommend this plugin.

Absolute best customer service I have ever experienced from a plugin author

Excellent messaging app aside, this is the absolute best customer service I have ever experienced from a plugin author. Seriously. He went beyond the call of duty for me when I asked about the possibility of changing the color of the chat box tab and again when I ran into trouble with configuring some of the settings. I am so impressed. We just got the video/audio chat feature up and running and it’s so much fun. An excellent addition to our site. First class all the way - both the product and the service behind the product.

Great product, great support

The product is surprisingly good for its price. Worked out of the box and it was very intuitive to set up. There is nothing similar that can work as a substitutive in the WordPress world, as far as I've seen. The team is super responsive, they've been supporting on every step of the way and they take feedback seriously - to the extent that some feedback materialised in a plugin update within days. Thanks for all your hard work

So far, a Great Addition to My Site

If you are building a social network and want to include many of the major features of sites like Facebook - which social network users simply expect - then you simply need the mini-chat websocket implementation of BP Better Messages. Despite frequent checking for new messages and all that goes on behind the scenes, the impact on load time and performance has been minimal.

The Ultimate Free Chat Plugin For BuddyPress

It does exactly what it says and it uses your themes CSS to style it unlike many other free options. Also, it is designed to work ith BuddyPress, unlike others. I am 100% convinced through lots of personal experience (been using this since it came out) that this is the best maintained, most coherent, and most intuitive message plugin out there, even over some $30 dollar ones.

The Ultimate BP Message Plugin

I can’t believe this plugin provides all the desired features: * realtime messaging, which makes it work like a chat * realtime message notifications * clean UI Thanks, Wordplus! You guys have done a great job! Expecting a lot other such compact BP plugins from you.

Better Messages

Better Messages is an outstanding plugin. It works flawlessly, is fast, stable, and integrates perfectly with Ultimate Member. Even more important: whenever you have a question, the support team responds quickly, kindly, and with exceptionally clear explanations. Their help is truly excellent. I highly recommend this plugin — it delivers great functionality and top‑level support. fwtrader – the Netherlands

Outstanding app and developer

If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Easy integration with BuddyPress for a native chat experience. I did have a few issues, but the developer was extremely quick to respond and point me in the right direction. Creating native mobile apps is built in and easy. The development versions work flawlessly out of the box. Although it is a steep learning curve to deal with Google and Apple to get the apps published in the stores. This is a great value for what the app provides.

Best community messaging option on the market

As part of my career as a product manager and entrepruneur I have many times needed to set up an area for a new community to collaborate. The messaging platforms have never been integrated into a web experience in a seamless way, and they offer a sub-optimal user experience. The clean modern UI and UX of Better Messages allows the communications tools to slip away and our community members to focus on the collaboration goals we share.

Amazing!

I have a website with much activity and every time I try something new there are displeased remarks from some users. But this message system is so much better than the native buddypress pm system that literally everyone loved it immediately. My site has many specific features which make new plugins difficult to integrate but this plugin is one of the easiest to deal with. It has almost everything I need, and some helpful hooks to work with as well. The support is fantastic, very helpful and polite.

Best messaging app

app update brought several features which makes it the ultimate messenger for ultimate member. We have the presence of a notification icon so as not to miss a message. We have a pop window when we click on private message on a member's profile card, extremely useful and ergonomic on a mobile display. Customizing the application to the color of the site is simple and practical. I recommend this app to anyone who uses ultimate member or similar member app. Thanks to Andrij for this wonderful application and his listening to requests and incidents

BP Messages is a great solution for Video | Audio | Text Chat with full Encryption for Wordpress

Gee thanks for the ultimate and affordable solution for the issue facing any developer: What is the best choice today for a secure video chat capable messenger to add to my buddy press install, and have it work within 10 minutes? BP Better Messages Plugin, my friends. Tis the answer to your woes. I paid $200. a month recently with a so-called competitor, for the same basic service, and I chose BP Better Messages over that other service. The proof is in my choice and confidence in this well-designed tech.

Fantastic plugin and support!

The plugin works incredibly well! And the support I received when I had both a question and an issue was superb and even went above and beyond. Honestly some of the best support I’ve ever received online. I is also the first plugin I’ve purchased the pro version of, and I did NOT regret it.

Incredible!

After hours searching for a Buddypress message attachment plugin, I have found this incredible message suite that works perfect.

Great plugin, Excellent author

The default messaging system of BuddyPress is old fashioned, too formal and simply boring. Better messages brings in a modern, dynamical style and improves the way our users could communicate. Knowing this plugin author from another plugin, I can 100% recommend him as highly responsive and solution-oriented. Thanks!

Great plugin for Buddypress, works well!

Thanks for great plugin, much appreciated! Enhances the Buddypress messaging very nicely! Very responsive support and looks like good plugin development and improvements in store.

Great tool – even better support

I am using the tool as a chatroom and messenger plugin on my site and it works very well. A lot of modifcations are possible and it can be easly adapted to the website. What really stands out is the support. You get very quick responses and help whenever you need it. That is truly not something you can take for granted.

Better Messages is the best

Better Messages is the best instant message and onsite communication system that I have found. And it integrates perfectly, and seamlessly, with social community platforms like Peepso. Also, Better Messages' documentation and support is first class. For example, Andrij responded to my support request within minutes, and he solved my configuration issue (which was specific to my server) immediately. The system is excellent. Highly recommended.

It looks great

I’ve been wanting to build a community around my LMS. After a lot of research on messaging apps and reading reviews, I very recently settled on the Better Messages WebSocket version with the BuddyBoss Platform. I’m still playing around with settings, but it looks great. It’s superfast and integrates nicely with BuddyBoss. It’s fully customizable, plus there is a supportive Facebook group should any issues arise. So far, so good!

Amazing plugin, with one caveat

This is an amazing plugin, and I would love (!) to use it on several of my BuddyBoss websites. But, since messages are not deleted when the user account is deleted, and messages are still visible to those who received the messages, it’s not GDPR compliant, meaning, in the EU it’s against the law and cause big legal problems. This is a big shame, because it’s really the best plugin out there. I hope the plugin will get updated with this functionality. Thank you for all the great work.

Best messages/chat plugin there is!

The functionality/function of this plugin is the best I've ever seen for a chat plugin, and the websocket version is totally worth it! You get a lot with the free version, but the websocket makes all the difference. I would personally prefer a little different design of it, and most of it is simple to style and change with a little bit of CSS knowledge. Those details that isn't possible with CSS, it would be awesome to have an option in the backend settings. But overall - easy 5 stars.

Best Support and awesome plugin!!

This plugin is exactly what I needed and I almost gave up on purchasing it because of a conflict with my wordpress theme setup! Andrij was quick to help me fix the plugin icon display!! I have now fully committed to your plugin! Really impressed with level of support and you have a customer for life now!!! To think I almost missed out on this plugin because of the video and call icons... is actually a joke!!! Thanks to Andrij, I'm really happy with the plugin!! Keep up the amazing work. Cheers

Amazing Plugin – FAST Support!

The developer of this script offers superior customer support with fast reply times, even multiple responses in one day to help. The websocket version works very good!

Great plugin

Great plugin, hope you will continue working on it and to support it. Donation link isn’t working anymore. Thanks!

Great Plugin

the first time i used this plugin, it was not actually interesting due to its multiple bugs. Now i’m realizing a great improvement. Congratulations!! keep going. I recommend it to every user running a community site. Thanks for the regular updates!!!

Great plugin! very promising :)

Great plugin, gives the private message from Buddy press a new level ! well done!!

PHENOMENAL

Plugins that are this well developed and supported are few and far between. The developer went above and beyond to help me with a strange (to me) site migration issue that I’m not even sure is within the scope of support. And the features are staggeringly extensive. This is THE messaging plugin for WordPress.

Thanks for a great plugin

Thank you for such a great plugin. It is very obvious that there was a lot of thought and hard work put into the development of the Better Messages plugin. Please continue to upgrade and add any features that would make it an even greater plugin. If you are interested, please contact me by email, I have a few suggestions that I would like to share with you.

It's fully customizable, plus there is a supportive Facebook group should any issues arise. So far, so good!

The best messenger I found for WordPress

I was looking for a messenger that I could integrate to my website so users could chat. After plenty of research I stumbled across this plugin, I tried the free version and it was pretty solid. I switched to premium after some time to have all the bonuses, but that is optional in case you want better performance and more features. The developer is also very responsive and is always there to support my inquires. Overall a very good experience with this plugin.

Great Messaging Program and Great Support

Better Messages is an excellent Messaging Wordpress Plugin. I love that it uses Web Sockets for video messaging and groups. The plugin developer is super responsive and has diligently assisted in helping with making Better Messages compatible with another developer's app which had nothing to do with any Better Messages issue. All in all I am very happy with both the program and support. These days good support is difficult to come by. Well Done Better Messages! Brian

It’s not better, it’s the best!

Normally Im not really a fan of giving a review. But you guys deserve it. It’s like your only job is only maintaining this plugin, every time I see a plugin update, it’s this plugin. You guys really put your best heart and mind on to this plugin. I’m really impressed! Thank you for this great great plugin. Plus, we get the “better” buddypress group message now. It truly helps me a lot! I just need one thing from you, please keep being awesome!

really good plugin

after some initial compatibility difficulties with some old plugins, it turned out to be an excellent tool! fast and efficient assistance!

Great Messenger Solution for BuddyPress

I’ve used this for months now. It’s perfect. Thank you . Works perfectly well with Youzer and Custtomify.

Incredible!

I read what this plugin is capable of doing and went straight to the purchase the WebSocket version. Yup, it’s a game changer! Message attachments!!! Realtime Chat!!! Super Fast!!!
