Personally, I don't like them, because of the asymmetry of effort in sending vs receiving, and that you can't tell how serious it is before listening to it.

I don't know anyone who has ever deliberately pressed the button, every time I receive one it's a few seconds of silence or rustling followed by an apology text.

A nice feature for people who like it I'm sure, but I'll text if I want asynchronous communication or just phone someone if I need to speak now.
