Getting notes after meeting emailed/slack is just priceless! ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2021-06-12* Love it!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 08 nov 2024 *2024-11-08, version 1.16.13* The app keeps on crushing. Have tried it on pc and iPad and keeps crashing after using it for months ### 2/5 — Need to support keeping video on when tabbed out *2022-11-24* The app has to be focused when using stage manager, which is not ideal for a productivity app. Zoom and other meeting apps already support this on iPad. ### 2/5 — Great service but my iPhone 7 Plus isn’t able to join a meeting *2021-07-30* It says “Oops, an unexpected error occurred on the client side” then says it’s retrying indefinitely. This is across WiFi and 4g on multiple rooms and accounts. ### 4/5 — Perfect *2022-12-18* Around is really better than Google Meets and Zoom and others like that. Best part is the school I go to has not blocked it. Now I need some help. Every time I open Around (I am on a Iphone), it puts up a solid grey screen with no buttons or anything. Anyone know what to do? Using my school account and not my personal one it works just fine. ### 4/5 — Almost perfect *2022-03-25* This is a great app and I was shocked how good the mobile app experience was. BUT - I can’t find a way to turn video mode on without turning my video on. You should be able to see your team without you needing to turn your video on. ### 5/5 — Easy and ..,, *2024-05-24* love the free version as well. ### 5/5 — Daily usage *2024-03-25, version 1.14.13* Use the macOS app on a daily basis, first time of using the iOS app today. Really good translation to mobile. Some lovely “iOS” features like handoff, please keep up the great work ### 5/5 — The BEST meeting tool for designers *2022-09-27, version 1.6.6* My team and I love love love around! If you’re used to zoom, it takes a moment (quick moment) to get used to this but once you do it is soooooooo much better. So much more fun and doesn’t violate your or your coworkers private space. THE BEST tool to have long workshops on. I cannot recommend this enough. Do yourself a favour and try it. ### 5/5 — Buh-bye Zoom *2022-09-04* Around makes online meetings fun. And it’s easy to use. Try it! ### 5/5 — Need meeting call? Use Around.co *2022-01-12* I love the simplicity of the app. Eve for people without English language knowledge can install and setup the app. I have been using it for almost a year with my students for meeting calls. Works smoothly, very stable connection. And what I love the most I don’t need virtual background when I’m not in appropriate place. Only face can be seen in the app while talking. Thanks for the togo meeting app. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A more human way to chat *2021-07-17* It feels less like I’m in a meeting and more like I’m present with others. It’s maybe hard to describe without experiencing it for yourself, but now that I’ve spent time in Around I can’t imagine using a different video chat tool. This is what video meetings should be. ### 5/5 — NO MORE ZOOM *2021-06-21* Around is at least 7-8X better than Zoom. I never leave reviews. Been making all my teams switch to this. Hope they can keep up the amazing work. ### 5/5 — Fav video tool *2021-06-20* Keep the updates coming. ### 5/5 — Best Video app for mobile and desktop ever. *2021-06-16* We use around for our dev teams code pairing sessions and meetings. The addition of a mobile client is game changing. Incredible app. ### 5/5 — Incredible *2021-06-15, version 1.0* In a world of antiquated video conferencing, Around is a breath of fresh air. I refuse to take Zoom meetings anymore—thanks around!!! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
