  • Video playback, knocks it down two stores

    The app is OK; it’s nothing special, but it would be solid if the video playback was non-buggy. If you pause video playback for any amount of time, it resets and doesn’t remember where you were. They need to enhance video playback and add playlists.
  • Difficulty with 2 Separate Communities

    I was involved with another organization that was utilizing Circle to communicate with its members before beginning practice at the practice, and once I started practice at the practice, which also utilizes Circle, I was no longer able to log into my previous Circle account for the Somatic School out of the United Kingdom. It has made my participation in both incredibly challenging.

    Something needs to be done about your platform. It needs to allow for two different user names and passwords on the same platform via the app or on safari or chrome browsers.

  • Circle for Writing Leaders

    I am unable to see the list of members when using my iPhone or my Mac laptop, and I’m getting frustrated. Someone mentioned something about clicking on a down arrow that doesn’t work for me. Also, suppose I want to write a notification for release in 2 weeks. How do I do that? That feature is not on my iPhone or laptop.

  • Super useful software

    I’m a member of communities AND run my own community through Circle and I’ve been really impressed with how easy it is to use. I feel comfortable with the layout, appreciate the notification settings and accessibility of the app. Overall, I highly recommend this platform to others.
  • Needs Search capabilities

    I really enjoy the community part of the app. It works pretty well. But the lack being able to tag items and search based on tags or other criteria is a 0 stars. The search now is useless, it returns so much you can’t figure out what is relevant. Please, please add tagging and improvements to your search engine.

  • Easy to collaborate

    Circle makes it easy to collaborate with other members plus I get email notifications like a boss and can choose which topics I need to respond to and which can be blissfully ignored.
  • Lacks so many basic features

    I really wanted to like this platform since my community completely switched over to it. However, it is somehow less usable than the free alternatives out there. I don’t know why they chose this platform. I’m sorry, I normally don’t leave negative reviews
  • An Ok app

    Has its problems, such as alerts returning after I have read messages, but overall a tolerable experience, slightly better than the website in Safari, which frequently glitches.
  • Major bug!

    App keeps crashing and saying "malformed data". The course I'm in is fantastic but this app keeps crashing

    Also would love an ability to have the videos start up from the point I paused them if I can't finish the whole video in one setting.

    But please fix the malformed data problem. Would love to give this app four stars then if it would run like it used to.

  • Can only access one community

    Lovely app so far, but I wish I could access more than one community within the app. For my other community, even when I click ‘Open in Circle’ it redirects to a Safari webpage ☹️
