Nice interface, but: 1. Often times it doesn’t update a conversation unless I leave it and reenter it. 2. The timestamp does not appear with every message. 3. It does not allow to segregate audio and visual notifications, is either both or none. It is extremely annoying to continuously hear dings when people cannot write complex sentences, and keep sending small batches of words.
when it works, it’s fantastic. when it doesn’t, it’s extremely frustrating. would be five stars but there are intermittent authentication issues that prevent smooth streamlined use of the app, so I cannot make it my one and only method of team communication. I still have to have a backup. also it is very bad at detecting changes to audio hardware on the desktop and the transition between a mobile device call and a desktop call can be very tricky.
I started using this app for my new job a couple months ago, and it has been a smooth ride. I’m honestly surprised as I was expecting a number of bugs or issues as with mqny Microsoft apps. It is almost easier to navigate than the desktop app, thus it is perfect for keeping online and up-to-date when I am away from my work-station. I even often use it as another way to receive notifications while I’m working. Since it’s hard to miss when my phone vibrates.
Teams did many things well. Having an app where communications can easily be found and stored. But the inability to effectively mute certain channels is frustrating. My phone goes off all day with notifications that don’t pertain to me. I don’t want to leave the channel, and try as I might, turning off notifications for the channel doesn’t prevent notifications from coming through.
