Rocket.Chat for Android
This app is the worst... freezes on Nexus 5 running marshmallow. I had to uninstall and reinstall the app to get to work and its still super slow. If it wasn't for the fact that my company uses this product. I'd uninstall it and never look back. Even the windows application freezes....so lame.
I couldn't install the app, because it kept telling me to delete x amount of MB. I'd do that and it would give me a larger amount to delete. After deleting 5 apps that I actually need, I decided it's likely not worth the effort, when combined with the poor ratings!
Video calls don't work. App has full permissions for my samsung s7 edge. When I call from app no.window appears. When someone calls me it shows video screen and says connecting then video disappears. It's a shame other than this I really like it.
App is super slow after new update. Also, it's an HTML wrapper, not a native app, which makes it garbage. Can't copy links out of it, won't open links in default app, etc. Terrible overall.
I clicked update inside the app 2 days ago and now i get a white screen everytime it starts. No menu, no anything. It'a simply not usable anymore. I have an Lg g3 and android 6.0
Webviews are bad. This app suffer too much from this. Unusable. Not integrated. Stop developing this and work on the plus. Guys go use Rocket.Chat+. Much better
Clean and useful interface. A few glitches when navigating screens, but notifications work well and features are all present
Updates and still can't log in with Google account. The error message isn't even fully visible so I don't know what's wrong.
The app works well, including notifications, but the speed to load when starting the app is ridiculously slow. If the speed could be greatly improved, the app would be nearly perfect.
Rendered useless at some points due to connectivity issues and not loading new messages. I get bombarded by notification alerts but cannot read the messages. Useless. I always end up having to use my destop version. Only use this thing cause my employer uses it. Very unreliable.
Chat system is great but this app is slow and incredibly unreliable. I suggest going to website to your home screen instead.
Extremely slow app in comparison to its out there, unlike other apps logs you out randomly, seems to be an afterthought of the desktop application just so they can have a app,
Not able to login from gmail. Just happening nothing once select google account. V2.5.0
Slow. Very slow.. Takes ages just to open the app (the infamous white screen).
So buggy. It doesn't load at all. Get stuck at login
Would like to use, but my rocketchat server uses SNI because it shared an IP with other services, and this app apparently can't cope with that.
Footer image broken in mobile, appears in web.
Uninstalled and reinstalled, notifications still not working after last update.
Notifications to phone doesn't work
Can't even log in. Worthless.
works extremly bad comaring to riot.im
Good app but very buggy. You get what you get for free.
Barely functional. Crazy slow. Crashes.
help me.. can't connect to my url.. failed to connect to server: abort.abort
You cannot login using your google account.
I wish my company would just pay for Slack
Does not work
Interface is clunky. Sound and video never work S6 via reverse https proxy. Often ends up with hum and need to kill app. Vid & sound only work in Chrome. Sound notifications don't seem to work. Could be Skype killer but needs lots of work
Overall a better smoother more usable offering than Mattermost. Still has some quirks in the mobile app... I get blank menus sometimes that can be fixed by swiping or reloading the menu. Sometimes when you swipe it temporarily breaks the layout. Overall very good.
Very SLOW to fully load up into the chat page on Android devices compared to Slack. LONG waiting time! Hope the start up speed can be improved in future version.
I want to connect to the company's server, but the app says "validating server", then "failed to connect to server: abort". At the same time, I'm connected to the same server over the same network with my desktop without any problems. Two stars for the Free Software effort, though.
It's a complete application for call, message, conference and file transfer. It's a great app, but since it's new, it still has many bugs. GUI doesn't work properly and the app works very very slow
Currently in version 2.4 the interface is broken with up to date rocket chat server installations. This make the app all but unusable.
Please update. v.2.4.0 interface doesn't look correct. Even opening Rocket.chat in mobile Chrome browser looks better. Nexus 5X: Android 7.0 Nuogat
Difficulty removing text in a chat. Rocket.chat will skip the last character when deleting.
I see no difference between using the website and the app. I have no benefit from the app. Both forget my logins right after closing and have the exact same design and layout only that the app hides the url-bar.
the interface of this version is terrible
Thanks to the devs that work on this and further development. It does well, and deployment of your own server is easy!
It's basically worthless. Only works some of the time. Mostly just sits on a loading screen.

Not bad for a non-native app (web wrapper). Need to make it more obvious that you access the servers menu with two finger up swipe -- or add a separate context menu item for this. I didn't find out until frustration caused me to click the back arrow so fast that I saw the original sign-in menu flash with the message about two finger swiping to get to that menu. Not obvious at all.
