Leave a Review Google Chat
Latest update is awful
The latest update makes it basically unusable on iOS. I expect Google has plenty of IT department customers to test it - anyone already using Google Apps who was desperate enough to save money would be willing to switch over since it's part of Google Apps. Chat was released broken and totally unfinished.
That being said, Hangouts Chat has slowly gotten progressively better. And it's interesting to see the features they prioritize. They aren't trying to match feature parity with Teams or Slack, they're doing their own thing.
But this latest app update is horrible. It's harder to see what's unread and what's not. And reading a message won't actually mark it as read most of the time. I've moved away from using my phone for chat and now just miss work messages. This update has made it much harder to communicate at work and much harder to work from home.Show lessChris David Miles
Hangouts
For me it felt like a reaking ball and that’s kinda a good thing also just the way it’s layed out it’s just a bit over board but anyways keep up the good worklumple
Not good
Limited functionality, threading feature is confusing. Really bad muting features. It's shocking that we haven't seen any updates to improve Hangouts chat yetdaaast
Could be better
I feel this chat doesn’t take full advantage of being a google product and being able to integrate all products seamlessly. The fact that you can upload one thing at a time is a big pain. The chat works, but it’s nothing more than that.pizalover92
Not super
Glitchy, limited features. Can’t even rename a chat room...Redintheface
Good start to a comprehensive Google Suite experience
We stared using Google Chat and slowly reduced our usage of Slack. Yes, some “basic” things are not there yet (like guest accounts), but actually the most required ones are there and it plays a more complete integration with our already paid Google Suite. Continue with the good work and give us those extra features!Show lessZohar from London
Not at all ready for full launch
Can’t believe giant like google could not pull this such a basic app. Slack is way more powerful than this. Can’t even share the google drive link directly. Seriously?Manmit shrimali
Lacks basic functionality, way too slow
No way to save an image from chat to the device (seriously!?)
Super slow to load
Won’t resume the app with your previous chat open
Tiny tap area to open a chat from the list
Lacking other really basic functionality for a messaging app.
Never mind the question about why google now has 3+ messaging apps that do the same thing.Show lessSputnik57360
