About this app

Whether you’re connecting with your community for an upcoming activity or working with teammates on a project, Microsoft Teams helps bring people together so that they can get things done. It’s the only app that has communities, events, chats, channels, meetings, storage, tasks, and calendars in one place—so you can easily connect and manage access to information. Get your community, family, friends, or work mates together to accomplish tasks, share ideas, and make plans. Join audio and video calls in a secure setting, collaborate in documents, and store files and photos with built-in cloud storage. You can do it all in Microsoft Teams.

Ratings and reviews

Great tool in theory, but it is not consistent. Currently cannot log in at all after clearing cache, force stopping, and finally uninstalling and reinstalling. So many people depend on teams to support remote work, so the mobile app is pretty important. Whatever update just rolled out completely broke it, at least for Samsung devices. Looks like I'm not the only one.

While this app does what it's designed to do, it is vastly inferior to Zoom for a simple reason: When your call is over, and you go to your Active Apps and close it out, IT DOESN'T ACTUALLY CLOSE OUT! It keeps running in the background until you go to Settings > Apps > Teams and then click on Force Stop. There are online tutorials that say to change certain settings to force it to close out completely when you close the app. I've changed those settings and Teams STILL stays open! Unacceptable.

Very inconsistent/unstable when trying to view messages in community. They either only show new ones or say they're aren't any. My coworkers on iOS do not have this problem and can see all of the messages. I have to sign out everytime I want to see them again and even then, if I try to interact with anything, it messes up again. I've tried updating, clearing cache, signing in & out multiple times and deleting/reinstalling the app. Nothing fixes it.
