Amazing Integrations with Other Apps
Signal, and Discord can be integrated if you purchase their services… that’s sick, and amazing, because you can then have encrypted discord channels.Dolf Blitzer
Need separated room and contact lists
Silly upgrade. I want my rooms and contacts separated just like before, at least give me a clear and direct button to switch to older look. Now they are mixed together and I find it inconvenient to arrange my team work and private conversations.vandh olme
New update is awful
Why are DMs and public channels no longer separated? Very messy UI change nobody asked formattjsf
Minor bugs but overall a solid app
The good:
great app, loads fast, uses blockchain technology, has lots of great rooms, lots of tech savvy people, and easy and intuitive app design allowing you to find new content and friends, hobbies, etc. I love it.
The not so good:
There’s an annoying bug where if you edit a previous post to make a correction, the “update” removes all previous formatting.
So if you wrote a long post that had some words in bold, some words italicized, and you had spaces in between your paragraphs, this bug causes all those things to be lost. Your “updated” comment now shows the correction you made but everything is now one boldless, italicizedless, single unbroken paragraph.
It can be a little frustrating to have to go over and redo all those things again just because when you reread something you wrote, realized you missed a word or misspelled something and wanted to correct that one little mistake.
Apart from that, this app is great. I love it.Show lessMac Logos
Love matrix. The app Needs work
* Sync is slow/infinite
* New Messages appear above the chat history
* notifications are way too noisy. I’m using element on my desktop and my phone notifications are buzzing. They should mark read and never notify my phoneblockloop
The perfect messenger for everyone
Usually, privacy and security comes at the cost of convenience, which in turn, drives away the average user from pursuing it. However, this is not the case with Element. Element combines state-of-the-art security, amazing privacy, and all in one very user-friendly package.
I personally use Element as my day-to-day messenger to chat with my friends, hang out with communities, and even for simplifying my workflows through integrations. I trust my most intimate conversations with matrix's encryption and can sleep well, knowing that my data is not falling into the wrong hands.Show lessw.zhang7
mentions finally fixed
With the 1.8.15 release, user mentions are finally fixed on iOS. This now makes Element/Matrix a solid contender as a replacement for Slack. Slack does still have way more integrations and features (especially for 3rd party paid services), but if you don’t need all of those things, Matrix/Element make a great choice. It works particularly well for open source projects that don’t have the budget for Slack, and you don’t need to resort to invite hacks to have a public chat space available for all users.Show lessBahamat
App not opening after updating
The app simply won’t open on a device using iOS 15.4.1 after updating it.gamefanatica
Mobile app is riddled with bugs
Been using Element since September so my friend and I could have separate rooms to discuss creative projects we work on together. We had been using a different system for years and wanted something similar to Discord, but Discord doesn’t allow for account switching so we went for this.
The encryption definitely works, and normally it’s easy to have multiple sessions on multiple devices and switch seamlessly. But lately (the last 2-3 weeks) the mobile app has given us a lot of trouble. It keeps randomly hiding the rooms that we’re not active in at that moment, and while I can just uninstall and reinstall the app (and re-verify every time) to fix this, my friend attempted to do the same and now, all messages he sent beyond some point in January can’t be decrypted on his end. 😐
Really frustrated with this, as we put a lot of trust in Element and we use messages to keep track of decisions we make, since our creative works are purely for fun. As I write this, I’m redownloading the app for what I think must be the fifth time this week. It’s a daily thing at this point.
Element, PLEASE fix your mobile app, it honestly worked quite well before the last month or so. Before then, I only had issues when my phone was insanely low on storage, and that was on me.Show lessdannib17
