Broken app
This app doesn’t work on my phone. It only works on desktop which is disappointing. Whenever I try to log in and join my organizations chat, it takes ages to load or it doesn’t load at all. And in the case I am already logged in and on my organizations chat, none of the chats load. This has been going on for over 6 months now. Please fix this.

Great messaging app
Great FOSS project
Can’t upload photos
Uploading photos has always been a terrible experience and now it doesn’t work at all :(
Response from developer
Thanks for the report! I'm sorry about the problems you're seeing with image uploads, and I hope to fix them. Would you like to join me in the Zulip development community -- https://zulip.com/development-community/ -- or reach out to support@zulip.com with more details of the bug? Thanks again.
Functional but terrible experience
Feels like nails on a chalkboard to use compared to slack
Where is server url
I cannot find it anywhere so could not login using ipad. Please make the UI more user friendly. Server url is very hidden and kept secret but should be very public instead
Failure to launch: paste disabled on open
Can’t even paste the url to start it all up. Not even started & failing. Catastrophic adoption barrier.
Simple and fast
Works pretty good. It would be nice to swipe through images within the topic.
Ability to upload files is not consistent
Update Sept 2021: why are the media upload options still not working? No one is even asking for a polished design or anything. They’re willing to have a duct-taped together app that lets you view the forums. Still can’t upload a PDF on the app.

Sometimes the buttons to upload files (paperclip, iOS file system etc.) show up. Other times it only shows photo and camera access. When it did show up, it was when the reply to comment button showed up beside the text box, which only intermittently appears even if you have tapped on a comment. If you long press the comment, reply is an option, but the file attachment is only photos. I managed to get a PDF to start uploading, but the keyboard was then pushed off the screen, so I couldn’t hit enter to post it. There may be a related issue to handling landscape to portrait while composing.

Inconvenient
very difficult to navigate, and i say this as a 19 year old who is terminally online 24/7:
too much wasted space
the ui could use some work imo
