Ratings and reviews

Mobile app constantly freezes when trying to type a message into a channel. The only way to back out once it freezes is to restart the phone. This has been happening since the most recent update and it very frustrating for those who have to use the app for work purposes.

Very bad connection to server and slow response of app Edit 1 : (10/24/2019) what I actually meant was if you leave app in background and reopen it, it stays in disconnected state, happened with friends too, so it's not my mobile os that's killing the connection. Also when we send the message it take 1-2 seconds to go in sent state. Edit 2 : (11/05/2019) using experimental version & it's comparatively very good.

It's nice to know the app is in heavy development, but it doesn't bode well for it's reliability and bugginess. Every once in a while an update will break things, and everyone in our company has problems with mobile push notifications problems all the time, on Android and iOS. Sometimes they work pretty well then get completely broken. I often switch between the experimental and official app, but not in a fun way. EDIT: I'm now having to force stop and restart the app more than 10 times a day.
