Incredible!!!
This app is amazing!! It is incredibly helpful with my school work and my teachers love it too! It makes it so much easier to see any assignments teachers have given and to communicate with others when working together. This is especially useful to talk to the people who don't have WhatsApp. It is less of a hassle to check my timetable and the other 'apps' withing Teams are genius!! It is much better to just open my phone when I receive an email rather than spend he next 15 minutes trying to turn on my laptop to see. However, the only things that I don't like is the CONSTANT notifications coming on Outlook. I don't want to get an email every time someone messages me. I have tried turning it off but I haven't worked it out. Other than that, this app is amazing and deserves more than 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Simple and effective
Gives more of a live connection to team vibe
It’s ok, getting there (please sort “do not disturb”/snooze notifications!)
The Do Not Disturb function deactivates itself, apparently as it pleases, and users start getting disturbed by notifications again. (I’ve just had a sick colleague woken by work chat, despite having activated “Do Not Disturb”. I’ve experienced the same in the recent past, myself.)
I used Slack previously, and when I was off work, I could tell the App to snooze notifications until the next day. And it did.
I could also tell the Slack App to snooze notifications for 20mins, an hour, four hours. This was great, if I was about to drive home, and my colleagues were about to start a long discussion. Far safer driving if I’m not having my phone buzzing away beside me.
So, the biggest improvement I need from this app is Notification Snoozing that works. Having to disable and re-enable notifications for the App in iOS settings is inelegant.
(Slack’s being able to advise people that you had Notifications disabled when they were trying to message you is really smart, too.)

Teams is excellent
Teams is a revolution in collaboration, the functionality is much more effective than the old SharePoint. The MS Office suite is very well integrated, you can have lots of different people working on the same file at once, you can chat directly about the collaboration in the file.
The meeting functionality is great, call quality is excellent and having the App on your smartphone means you’ll never miss a meeting again.
If your team isn’t using MS Teams yet, then you’re working in the ‘stone age’, email is dead, persistent chat is now!

Missing feature?!
To start with, teams is an amazing app and very convenient for work and schooling. However, in the screenshots used to show off the app in the App Store we can clearly see a chat button and working chat feature. However, once the app is downloaded this feature is nowhere to be seen, and I even had the feature for about a week when it was first implemented before it randomly disappeared with no warnings or updates. This feature was one of the most useful features and I see absolutely no reason for it not to be there. Until the chat option is re-added, there is blatant false advertising for this app using a feature that is no longer included.

Best Microsoft app in a decade
In a world where young innovative companies having been running circles around time-honored giants like Microsoft, IBM, Oracle and SAP, it is rare to see one of the “80’s companies” produce an application that is (to put it bluntly) - relevant.
Microsoft Teams puts Microsoft back on the ‘must-have’ software map, and could become the bridge the connects the old world with the new world.
Unlike past product offerings, Microsoft Teams has made it easy to integrate newer (non-Microsoft) apps side-by-side with trusted enterprise apps like Office365 and SharePoint.
Imagine a team collaboration “home page” where topic-based chat rooms, instant webcam meetings, private cloud file storage, mobile productivity apps and trusted office documents, live side by side in perfect harmony.
For companies who are trying to make the transition from old to new; from Gen-X to Millenials and Gen-Z, Microsoft Teams provides an easy and intuitive way to get there. (Five stars)

Microsoft Teams stills feels like a beta compared to Skype
Lacks the features of Skype for business and behind competition, needs far better PSTN and PABX facilities especially for medium to large enterprises. No SMS, no shared voicemails boxes, expensive license combinations and call plans, with no international call plan in Oz. Telstra take 45+business days to add an extra user PSTN number. Can’t administratively change users personal greetings via powershell, needs Exchange plan 2 for voice mail despite fact exchange online no longer used (now Azure Voicemail). Needs a call plan to be able to personal voicemail greeting even if you don’t want a PSTN number and just want to have voicemail for internal or Teams to Teams calls. Very delayed call answering, like swipe to answer and wait 3-5 seconds for other party to hear you answer the call and actually begin a conversation.

This app doesn't let me sign in.
I can't even enter my password on the app but I use it fine on my laptop. Everytime I try to log on, it says sign-on error. I've tried deleted and reinstalling many times
Expectably terrible
This is a ridiculous app. I was unfortunately invited to join a team. Couldn’t join using the app due to constant “We couldn’t switch you to <Team name>. Please try again”. Surely nothing changes when you try again.
I also tried using MacOS version - with no luck as well. I went through the usual Microsoft nonsense sign in process (log in as account member or owner - tried both).
I only was able to use the web version - at least something worked. I swear each time I have to use this...

Nice start; needs polish
Overall Teams is a decent collaboration tool. When using it without being used to other competitors’ methods of working then Teams is intuitive and nice. When comparing it to Slack, then Teams takes one step forward and two backwards. But not all is hopeless! The service simply needs a handful of features and UI enhancements to improve. In terms of the iOS app, here’s some quick updates:
1. When I get notifications on multiple devices, they should dismiss from all devices once I’ve acknowledged it on any of the devices. Right now when I read something on my phone, the Mac app keeps the badge notifications. The inverse is also true. This is rather annoying.
2. More granular notifications. I don’t want to see a notification for certain channels in a team, even if a channel command is used. The lack of a mute function is unbearable.
3. Dark Mode. It’s 2018 and I don’t want to stare at a bright background in the evenings. Please give the option to enable a dark mode to save our eyesight and battery life (for OLED screens).
