Broken

Webui works great - why does this app never sync or work?

Notifications stopped working

After updating the version, notifications stopped working. Please fix this

UI

I honestly prefer this user interface over Element X

Excellent

Works great.

Only one bug - when leaving a chat via swiping up and going to iOS’ app selector, the pin screen appears. However the user can still type in the message box of the app.

It’s a bit confusing, but imagine your iphone is locked, and you are prompted with entering your pin, but for some reason your keyboard is on your lock screen, and when you type on that lock screen it allows you to fill in your latest chat with somebody on iMessage. In theory, it would make it appear as you are typing from the other party’s end, but you cannot see the contents of your message, only type and append onto it.

As advertised

Experienced glitch (app crashing after opening) after update but now working well.

Crashes

The app crashes while trying to set a home server. Unusable app

Slow slow slow

I will get a text and be able to preview it on my phone. But when I open Element, it will say synchronizing for sometimes up to 5 minutes before I can read the message. On the computer the app works fine but on the phone, it is by far the worst messaging service I’ve ever used.

Brilliant

Excellent tool if using own domain and a VPS. thanks 5✨

Element on new IOs iphone is not working

Not syncing well with desktop element either

Update

Suggestion for next update: this app needs a way to pause notifications.

Кавычки?

Зачем-то приложение заменяет «кавычки» на "кавычки". не нужно этого дѣлать.

есть глюк, когда прочитал всѣ сообщения, жмёшь на перейти к непрочитанному, становится пустой экран с кнопкою вниз. жмёшь на кнопку вниз — приложение вылетает

Eh

Logging in is REALLY hard. Sometimes it takes literally 4-5 minutes to log in. Half the time the app endlessly spins "syncing conversations" for over half an hour. The app rarely works but its needed for certain things. Wish the maintenance team would look into the issues that have been around since I first got the app.

Fiable simple efficace

Une application qui marche, peu de bug. La quasi totalité des problèmes viens côté serveur et non de l’appli ce qui est une bonne chose.
L’interface est un peu daté mais tout à fait fonctionnelle (j’aurai aimé des bulles sur les messages).

Element is awesome

5 stars rating for this awesome app because you can type, call others, and make polls, and take a photo and videos and use your phone to send your location and make spaces, chats, and rooms.

Серая приваточка

Мессенджер от создателей всемиизвестного krkn точка club, через него общаются как работники, так и руководство площадки

值得信赖的隐私保护聊天App

很不错的App,可以自己搭建服务器,有很多优点,值得推荐,但是也有以下问题需要改进:
1,锁屏码只有4位长度,可以无限尝试直至被破解。应该加入次数限制,输错三次以上强制退出登录。
2,聊天内容文本字体太小,眼睛看起来吃力
3,手机熄屏时消息推送不成功
4,输入锁屏密码的时候,软键盘会遮挡屏幕

Good but one issue

When in dark mode on iOS when I tag someone all the text turn black until I kill the app and reopen

👍

Отличное приложение! Да, не всё удобно, как в том же Дискорд и уж тем более это совсем не Телеграмм, но, когда речь идет о безопасности, анонимности и приватности, стоит ждать, что в одном с ними флаконе , будет так же удобство и красота. Те, кто пишет, что приложение не работает, не синхронизируется и прочее…проблема явно на вашей стороне, а не на стороне приложения и если вы не можете или не хотите включить Ваши мозги и решить эту проблему, то Вам это приложение и не нужно, удалите и живите себе спокойно) можете еще попробовать сменить свой дырявый VPN на другой, рабочий.

So far so good

Despite the low ratings, I’m willing to give this app a fair shot since I know things get updated over time. However, I will take away 1 Star for every major issue I run into.
