Not impressed.
Had to use this for online school for almost the entirety of 2020-2021. Calls are glitchy, you get kicked out often, somehow there’s a handful of features that were simply missing half the time I used the app, such as something as simple as being able to talk in the chat rooms. Me and my classmates have had constant microphone/camera problems throughout our meetings. You get a notification for every single message you get instead of every few which is extremely infuriating when you need the notifications on for your classes. I’ve also had the issue where it simply hasn’t let me log in for up to an hour, and I’ve missed classes because of it. Overall, I really dislike it.

Very good school/work app.
The reasons why I give this app a four star rating is because I find this app very easy to access all my school work, it is very useful and it saves all my work, I like how the calls are set up whenever we have a class call for lockdown. But a reason why I gave this a four not a five is because of the muting system, yes it’s good for teachers so there students don’t say whatever they want, but if I want to communicate with my teacher/class to get help on some work, I can’t get any help, the muting system has its goods and bads, but I’d really it rather not be there, I understand that it is there for a good reason, but I can’t communicate with my class members about work if it’s muted as it’s a lot faster than emailing or calling.

I have to write this for school 😕
To be honest this app isn’t great because when I try to join a meeting it kicks me out immediately and if somebody calls me into I press join and it kicks me out it allows students to mute and kick out whoever is in the meeting my younger sister uses this and it always says somebody in the meeting removed you and I wish it said who. This app is not great but I have to write this for school which isn’t great either. Also when I write a message to my friends or teacher it autocorrects to something completely different like if I say hi did you get the answers for question 2 I’m stuck on that then it would say hey I want the answers for 2. I don’t understand this app. Also it drains you battery like if I have to use my phone for school if my laptop is dead then I use my phone but if I have it at 100 then like 5 minutes later it’s at 1 and it’s annoying. That’s all I really have to say about this app 😕 I wish I could give 2 stars

Works well but...
I find the app very convenient and love that I can run my video and sound seperate from my computer, also my computer fails at Bluetooth headset mid meeting the app on iPad and iphone does not
I would prefer the focus screen to option to be under the the same menu as the computer app uses for ease of use and consistency I had to go search how to focus on the shared screen rather than pay attention to what was being shared
I would also like to see the whole calendar (day, weekly monthly) across the screen until I select an appointment to view details then be able to go back to the overview

Really good but
Teams is really super, but it desperately needs to be a multiple document interface style application where you can have multiple things open at the same time. If you’re having a meeting and reviewing a task list, navigating to a document that you want to discuss, you have to navigate back to where you were and that’s all too clumsy. If you had the ability to minimise what you’re looking at, follow a link, bring up a calendar, etc. and just tab between the open items within the app, it would become super useful.
Otherwise, I say the concept is great and it occupies a fantastic place between an inbox, calendar, shared folders, workflow manager and IM. It is everything that an actual team needs.
One last thing… please make it possible to change the privacy settings on a team channel from team-wide to private or back again, or to have it team-wide plus guests or team-wide minus exceptions.

Solid Interface
Only two criticisms is the fact when you delete channels, you can’t name a new channel the same name. When you delete a channel it should delete all data associated with it. Only being allowed to change the privacy setting on a channel during the creation of the channel is inefficient, especially when considering my first grievance. If you mistakenly forget to change the privacy setting upon creation, you are forced to delete the channel, but prior to doing so you’ll need to rename it, so you can use the same name when creating the new channel with appropriate privacy setting.
Suggestion 1: Make it to where a channel is deleted all data associated with the channel is deleted so you can reuse the name.
Suggestion 2: Add the capability to change the privacy setting during any point of the channels lifespan.

Gros problème à régler
J’aimais beaucoup cette application mais je commence vraiment à la détester pour la simple raison qu’on ne peut pas bloquer les gens dessus. J’arrête pas de me faire harcelé et je ne peut pas bloquer les gens qui me font sa. Si seulement vous pouvez mettre une mise à jour où on pourrais bloquer les gens...

User experience is extremely stupid
So first off there is no way to delete chats, so there is unnecessary and very annoying clutter that can't be removed. There isn't even an option to hide a chat despite it saying to do so online. There are no "three dots" with more options like it says. Second thing getting on my nerves is how the calendar is only accessible on your personal account, which renders it completely useless for the actual team channel where you'd need to make that information easily accessible to everyone. Same with tasks, also only available for your personal account. There is also no way to add your own personal account into your own business channels. So the features locked behind the personal account version, at that point, could have never been accessed by you or your team anyway.
I don't even understand how you could design an app this frustrating and think that it's okay to make it available for other people. I will be searching for other options now.

Typical Microsoft Garbage
The app worked fine. Nothing out of the ordinary except for call quality sometimes randomly turning to crap but overall it was an ok app. But with the latest update OMG this app has turned into an absolute heap of trash. Every time Teams notifications appear and/or I have to get into the app, the Teams startup screen loads and then it freezes.
But here’s the kicker not only does it just freeze, it crashes my phone so badly that my home button stops working. Everything stops working. It prevents me from getting into any other app. And all that my iPhone shows is this irritating Teams start screen. It has been continuously happening with the latest update. And now every time I load Teams, it trashes my iPhone and the only solution for me to be able to use my phone is to do a hard reset by long pressing the sleep wake and volume down button.
This is the kind of garbage that makes me despise Microsoft and keep away from most of their products.

Good but can be better
I use this as a volunteer. Several training sessions and meetings that I get invited to each month. I have used it on my iPhone and and laptop. Thanks to a mistake on my part the laptop that I use now takes several minutes to load teams. I prefer the laptop because it is easier to see shared information on screen. I can not setup any groups on my iPhone unless I send an invitation immediately. As the team lead, I wanted to have everyone in a group before setting up an event. I prefer to organize things so I just click on a group, send the invite, and then work on other things. If there is a way to do this, the app is not very forthcoming with the info. This also why I do not like being hounded to do a review when I have only just started to work with the app for myself instead of clicking the invites sent by others.
