Deactivated my account

I wouldnt know what the app is like. I registered for one event in my building thru cobu and it deactivated my account without warning. I have reached out to them by email and received no response so far.

An app you use because you are forced to

The UI here is terrible. The layout is thoughtless not a single designer must be employed by this company.

Poor experience

App moderators silently delete messages (and you get zero notifications when this happens). Notifications also don’t work half the time, so super easy to miss DMs. Had to leave the app with another person because messages between us were silently deleted by a moderator. Just use text, not worth having building management randomly silence you, with not notifications.

Very inconvenient account deactivations after 6 months of inactivity.
