Okay app but with several issues/improvements

Issue 1) reacting to a post or comment causes the app to freeze. You have to restart the app to get it working again

Issue 2) push notifications don't get batched or grouped together when part of a channel or group chat. It results in a very loud experience when you're not active in the app. Whilst this is probably good in some aspects, it would be great if you had more granular controls around notifications being sent for a channel/group chat.

Fantastic App

Great functionality, easy to use and makes working from home and out of the office a lot simpler. Able to connect with the team easily and keep up to date through the chat function and The connection and quality of calls have been consistent and high

Great EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE THING…

Ok, so I broke down and downloaded the app to my iPhone sometime during the summer of 2021 because I supervise a lot of people and babysit the rest of the office so I was constantly being hounded by every method possible (texts, calls to my cell and desk, emails, and Teams). Every time I stepped away from my desk for even five minutes there was a crisis I had to handle immediately so I wasn’t able to see or respond to missed Teams messages until I got back to my computer. I would’ve given it a full five stars BUT, several months ago the emojis just vanished from my phone app. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling and logging out and back in, but alas, there’s just empty black space where the emojis should be. I’ve discovered that if I tap on a random place in the blank space, it DOES throw an emoji up for me but I have no way to know which one I’m accidentally choosing! I’ve seen other people post that they have the same issue but that glitch has been there for months and Microsoft hasn’t fixed it yet. For an industry giant like Microsoft, that’s unacceptable. A lot of people may think it’s no biggie but I use emojis a lot to soften what I’m saying when I have to inform one of my staff that they screwed up. People appreciate that more gentle approach. So yeah. I’m done with my rant now.

Great app but…

Microsoft Teams is a great app except for 2 things. The first thing I will say is said many times in the reviews, it drains so much of my battery. If I forgot to plug my iPad in during the a meeting I have to switch to my laptop and that takes a few minutes, usually I get in trouble with my teacher because they think I’m skipping class. The second thing is logging back in my account. When I try to log back in it takes me millions of tries to back in. It kicks me out of the app and then after doing that lots it takes 20 minutes to finally get in. Other than that I love how you can text friends, share screens, have groups of teams and breakout rooms. Good luck for fixing these things.

This is great!

This is a very good app; it is literally the best app for communication and work. Students as well as teachers love it because you can upload assignments very quickly and you can create actual chats for your different classes. This is important for organising events like work meetings and even class discussions. Teams is basically like a hub for chats, calls, and any necessary online meetings. This app is essential for every single school since it is the best app for online learning. I never have a problem addressing issues to a class chat or even uploading assignments because the notifications appear right away in the activity section. This is much than having to open up my laptop to upload an assignment; my phone can do that in just under a minute, which is good because I won’t get detention for not uploading it at all. Teams, like other Microsoft 365 apps, allows you to sign into your account on multiple devices, therefore you can communicate anywhere, anytime. I would definitely recommend this app.

Slow and Bloated

Was pretty good a year ago as predominantly a work place messaging app, but appears they’ve forever gone and stuffed extra functionality moving away from this app’s original core function.

Navigation appears to have become sluggish as a result. Often staring at blank pages for seconds while navigating from page to page. Performance is not just an issue on the iPad OS app, even the Windows app has become unbearably resource hungry at times.

I hate school 🥰😍😍

:)

Ok,so I like teams and all but I have the 12.5.5 iOS and I putted a cloud on it(cuz it was vacation) and I tried to reinstall it but.. it didn’t work so I don’t know what happened i clear(ed) all of my memory but still no luck,BUT I heard something when I was in teams ‘please update this iPad we will no longer support 12 iOS’
And I ignored it-(DONT ask) and I went to google wrote ‘does teams support 12 iOS?’ But I found nothing(useless google) and when I always reinstall it always said ‘unable to download item please try again’ so I hope some one will tell me about this ;-;
Yea so I hope they will respond cuz I’m scared Bc my mother is gonna kill me I am PRAYING FOR SCHOOL TO BE GONE- cuz I’m still doing this “reinstall” thing (this is a story now... ;-;) PEACE!:D (Tell me if I did something wrong ;-; cuz I don’t know!)
👆old message...:^ uhm it works now BUT ITS STILL 4 STARS I mean.. if it still didn’t work heh- Well it’s a 3 stars... :)

Dangerous

This app is OK if you only communicate between 2 people however if you have a team, it proved to be, shell I put it ‘dangerous’. You need to be extremely careful when messaging: if I was on the call to another member of staff and we pull in another member or two, the staff are thinking ….after a day or so, they are messaging one person that they can see in the ever so tiny bubble, too small to display all the people. This has caused extreme tense relationships between the staff that because of this, staff left. So, not great!!!! On the other note, when on the meeting and if/when someone try to talk over another person (it’s a meeting not a supermarket queue), interrupting, you can only hear one person, or, none. The call goes weird. This is not a connection issue because we are all on different network providers, some on Wi-Fi and some net cable but the outcome is the same. I hope we will go back to Skype or alternative options.

More features needed

I would like to see more of the full features from the workstation/PC version being brought to the mobile version of this product. It would would a huge positive impact on the usage by mobile users. Also,
The workstation version needs better diagramming tools built in to it.
