Take audio for my phone

Why you are taking audio features from my phone??? you are not a music app!!!!!
Please let my music app to continue doing their job, and you focus on yours!!!

Doesn't work well with Google keyboard

Amazing app but needs support for Google keyboard on iOS. It works but small bugs that hide the chat composer when using Gboard.

Works, but barely

This app is clearly wrapping a website. When you scroll to the top, the conversation jumps to nonsensical sections of the chat. The scrolling is also janky when looking through messages.

Bait and Switch

Decent app but should have seen the free version going away. No way I would have invested effort to the ecosystem if they hadn’t claimed free was their model.

Great service and app, just a couple small issues.

I’ve only been using Ryver for a short while. That said, a group of us are migrating from Slack to Ryver and so far I prefer Ryver. “Topics” (the forum-like section of the app) is a great feature and has already come in handy for our group. My only complaints (which are small, and not worth downgrading the app to 4 stars) are:

- When using the Smart Keyboard with the iPad Pro, pressing “Enter” doesn’t send a chat message. It just drops you to the next line. I feel like if I’m using an external keyboard, the “Enter” key should be used to send messages (or this should at least be configurable).
- The app has some minor display bugs. When editing a pinned Topic, sometimes the Topic drops below other, non-pinned Topics. This is fixed by simply refreshing the interface.

Overall this is a very solid app and service. It will get my recommendation over Slack from now on.

A bit clunky & lacks features

The iOS is relatively easy to use although many of the buttons are bit too small even on iPad (screenshots out of date) and the app requires an internet connection unlike major competitors who have transitioned to a cached system which updates when online. Feels like an old web app rather than a modern native iOS app.

Good!

Used as a communication platform in my nonprofit. There are a few issues, like the fact that you can only message one other person (no group messaging unless an admin creates that group for you.). It can also get messy since anyone can create a topic. But it’s useful and a has a clean interface.

great apps but too buggy

- Way too much bugs.
- Topic not auto scroll, u have to scroll to bottom to see all new message.
- Manager forum/member then app freezes.
- SLOW!!!!
- No 2FA
- Not all people use task. Why cant hide it???

Not bad

The only annoying issue with it is that after you press send on a message it doesn’t auto capitalise the first word of your next message, because it thinks you’re still typing the same thing. Super annoying. Otherwise good app. Clunky but it’s free :)
