Ratings and reviews

I really enjoy this app since Hangouts is gone. It's really important to us to be able to have multiple people screen sharing at once. I only have one real issue. Sometimes when I hang up to leave the call, it'll keep repeatedly adding me back to the call. Hanging up doesn't work and closing all apps doesn't work. It's really frustrating because I would like to leave the call as soon as I hit the hang up button.

Not impressed. Over 4G mobile data, the sound was alright, but I could only see video for one or two participants at a time. It would randomly switch, and I couldn't tell when it why. (Online I could see three participants, but only those three - it wouldn't switch at all.) Online I could double-tap to fullscreen a participant, but I couldn't do that from the app. The "low bandwidth" option just turned off video altogether - I would much rather be able to reduce the video quality.

Terrible. The app has gotten worse over time, more glitchy, and now tonight I can't even see the other person due to some bug where it says they're in low-bandwidth mode (they're not, we checked) so I'm done. Now I need to find another FOSS solution, which sucks.
