Ratings and reviews

I had no problems with accessing RocketChat on my web browser at a PC, but regularly had issues with mobile. Often I would be told my login credentials were incorrect (they were not) and the final issue was that I was told I had to sign in to view my group's chat, but literally nothing would respond to input. I could not sign in. I could not click the help link. I was not the only one in my group with issues so we moved on to a different platform.

Useless! Hotfix needed!! app no longer works. I can't respond to messages, the app constantly shows that I need to be logged in to do that. Funny thing is when I go to login it shows I'm already logged in! Plus, the app won't let me log out. Ridiculous!! My office uses this as our messanger service and I cannot respond to messages on my phone.

Like a poor man's slack. The app does the job and it's free, so that's great. If you have used slack, it's basically the same in many ways. A couple annoying things: * alerts are wonky cross device and when sleeping * markdown doesn't really work and behaves differently on different devices * devices will steal messages and the history isn't always accurate as a result
