Ratings and reviews

Overall app is decent but falls short of the desktop version. Calls are bugged and need to be fixed. For some reason, they automatically have you on mute when you call which adds confusion for the team. They also lose audio when your screen is turned off and can't be heard . It doesn't seem like it's set up to be treated like a phone call. I also don't get any ringing notifications for calls. It only pops up on the notification bar and doesn't ring. Almost all setup had to be done on desktop too

I've used this for a while, at the request of someone who manages a house for a client. I don't see the advantage of this over a group text. People in the group often miss messages and notifications and I end up just having to text them to get their attention. update: yes the notifications are turned on, they just aren't as prevalent as rcs (text) notifications.

unlike the web version, the mobile app lacks the option for sorting direct messages and chats by recency. if you are in a direct message and accidentally go back to the list, you have to scan through an alphabetically sorted list of directs to find the same chat and it is very frustrating. you easily miss the messages. this is also the same for the channels list. I already made a feature request 2 months ago but nothing has happened since. I'm a paid customer.

What’s new

In this update, we added audio-only mode for video calls for audio-only experience that will improve performance and reduce cellular data usage. Of course, we've fixed some bugs to improve overall app experience.
