When Steve stopped using his phone, he looked for a solution that worked well on Windows and would be easy for his family to use. It needed to be a good mobile solution as well. He chose WhatsApp which met those requirements. As a family this has been an excellent solution. He uses it with many friends too. It works much nicer than texting for Steve. Groups are really nice and easy to use.
