We personally prefer the user experience that we've crafted. Notifications in the app differentiate between new messages and mentions (in the room list), for one. We also feel that the display of messages in each room is superior, and prefer the room listing to the tabbed approach Propane uses.

These differences are largely subjective, though, and some people may prefer Propane's approach (and that's fine). I suggest if you're not convinced, use a promo code and try it out for a day or two. If the promo codes are all used, I'd be happy to email one to you.

We are also always happy to hear suggestions to improve the user experience:
