### 1/5 — very bad

*2024-07-23, version 1.8.35*

it is not work

### 1/5 — Poor Quality Video And Audio

*2018-07-02, version 1.8.35*

Not perform well in moderate speed connections. Disconnects and strangled connection. Not reliable.

### 1/5 — Was good now crashing

*2018-03-22, version 1.8.35*

1 year since last update. Since one of IOS updates now stays stable for 5 mins at best. Call just drops. Restart and problem repeats. Same problem on iPad or iPhone. Shame as otherwise app is good

### 1/5 — Endless Crashes

*2018-01-09, version 1.8.35*

This app crashes no less than 5 times in a 1 hour video call.

### 1/5 — Constantly crashes

*2017-10-18, version 1.8.35*

Tried using Acano to connect to VMR. I get about 5 minutes of video conference before the app crashes without warning. Reconnect, get 5 more minutes, then a crash. Reconnected again, 5 minutes, then same crash. Gave up.

### 3/5 — Good web meeting service, needs retina apps

*2017-04-20, version 1.8.35*

Acano is a good web meeting platform, similar to WebEx and Gotomeeting. My major gripe is lack of retina support on the apps. It's 2017, there is no excuse for an app that outdated.

### 1/5 — App keeps crashing!

*2017-03-31, version 1.8.35*

Can't get the app to run for more than 1 minute.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2017-02-23, version 1.8.35*

It is a very unstable App. It keeps crashing.

### 2/5 — Nice app with huge flaw

*2016-04-05, version 1.8.0*

The app is generally nice and well laid out, but the huge flaw is that there are no notifications if you get a message. No banner, no number on the app icon, no anything. You have to physically open the app. When everyone at my work got an account we thought it would be a nice chat platform, but after a few initial messages everyone stopped using it because you knew that most people wouldn't read the message you sent them, because they didn't know it was there.

### 1/5 — Headset is not auto detected and call is not resume back

*2015-11-06, version 1.7.5*

I saw 2 bugs on this app
1. Headset not auto detected
2. When we get phone call and whether we attend it or not, the existing voice call on the app doesn't work
