Ratings and reviews

For some strange unexplained reason, there is ZERO functioning noise gate/control on mobile. Meaning your microphone is ALWAYS ON and picking up EVERYTHING. its almost worse than a phone call. As of 3/25/26, the mobile app is completely cooked, havent been able to log-in since. Unfortunately I have to look for other alternatives 😭 I can easily log in/log out on desktop, reset my password multiple times, reinstalled the app, made a whole new account, I'm at a loss.

Looking good so far. There are a few functionality issues, but if you're looking for a Discord replacement, this has been the best one I've found. You can import Discord server templates, but only on the desktop version. I would love to see emoji and sticker support, voice memos, and 18+ spaces in the future. I like the app so much, I'd be willing to pay a subscription for features like profile decorations like Discord has.

Great Discord alternative! With Discord going absolutely downhill, I feel like we all need to move to this app. Though there aren't as many features, I'm sure you guys will be adding tons more stuff once the popularity kicks up. Please add more features! More customization as well! (: And PLEASE don't get greedy like Discord has... I have my hopes up for this app
