STREAM LIKE YOU’RE IN THE SAME ROOM

Ratings and reviews

Works pretty well for a chat app, however the mobile version of discord has been having issues in past month, including microphone not working on calls (aux, Bluetooth and built-in), calls self-ending, and other smaller things. Edit: as of 2025 there are still major issues, sometimes requiring you to leave and rejoin a call to hear each other, calls hanging up and then calling the person back automatically, along with being very resource intensive. Too many problems to justify.

Just use it on your PC or laptop, it's much better there. Currently, it freezes and crashes every single time you switch focus for any period of time, it uses a CRAZY amount of memory, and has taken TEN PERCENT of my battery from when I started writing this review to now when just idling in a call on THE LOWEST BRIGHTNESS. Discord's troubleshooting suggestions also did not work, hence a lower review score. Worked great before the most recent update. But, hey, look, new benefits for Nitro!

There must have been an update, because for about a month it's stopped working. Hundreds of others that I'm in a server with are having the same issues I'm having. It'll let us in, for about 2 minutes, then freezes our whole device and stops functioning. We've uninstalled and reinstalled and didn't fix nothing. The server holder doesn't even know what to do. Frustrating.
