Ratings and reviews

Generally a good product and can use some improvements 1. No support for .heic photos when most phones in the last 5 years support this new high compression 2. No export function of any kind 3. Save your text before submitting. If there's some issue like too long of text, a network issue, or even the screen rotated, then you will lose everything you typed. 4. Scrolling past long posts jumped from search results locks to the post and can't scroll to see other posts.

Please update app. Using offline through a local LAN with multiple wifi access points. App works well, but push notifications do now work on any of the 30 devices are using. A mix of all types of devices, brands, Android, iOS, etc. We've gone through every setting and option and 0 devices work. Again, no internet access where we are, just a large wifi network with synology NAS as our source of entertainment and communication. Messages come through, but there are no notifications

Very pleasantly surprised, was looking for a Slack-like hosted solution and Synology delivers! Gripes at this time is the lack of a dark mode, the chat window is rather bright regardless of which theme you pick. Also, on Xiaomi it may sometimes be required to open the app before it detects new messages even with battery optimization disabled. I've since also enabled Autostart, maybe that fixed it.
