Ratings and reviews

Great for sending messages, and has a very good call function. Noise suppression for calls is impressive. I almost always eat really crunchy chips as I'm playing games with my friends, and they can never tell until I start talking. The things I would change/improve upon is the notifications. Sometimes notifications for messages do not appear, no matter phone or discord settings. As well as calls becoming more "robotic" occasionally, regardless of device, network connection, or duration of call.

I've used this app for years. Let me say, the communication is great and there are many cool, fun features that add to the experience; however, my largest gripe with this app is the excessive changing of user interface. The UI is updated so frequently that it makes the app unenjoyable once you've finally gotten used to a specific feature. In fact, the developers should focus more on bugs with the software rather than minor changes in design which provide no improvement for the app in any regard.

The newest update (3/8/2023) sucks. The bugs were not fixed, but only made worse. Audio coming through my phone now gets picked up by the mic when this was never a problem before. Alongside this, the green "watching stream" banner on top covers a quarter of the screen and cuts off gameplay, and the screen cannot be moved to reveal it in any capacity. This is incredibly frustrating, especially since it was working in an acceptable capacity beforehand, the blueprints were literally right there.
