### 4/5 — Gut aber mit Schwachstellen

*2026-08-20*

Ein wirklich gut organisierter Matrix Client, mein Favorit am Handy. Leider gibt es immer wieder Probleme mit nicht verschwindenden Benachrichtigungs-Badges bei gelöschten Nachrichten im verschlüsselten Chat. Auch funktioniert das Teilen von mehreren Bildern nur halb gut. Es gibt also Luft nach oben.

### 4/5 — Nice app with flaws

*2026-08-17*

Love the app, thanks for the effort and time put into it. However, for some reason the app always shows the red numbers indicating notifications although there are none. Also, audio/video calls do not work, i am not sure why :(
Anyways, nice work!

### 3/5 — Notification badge issues

*2026-07-21*

Always shows unread messages, despite all being read. 

Past versions didn’t have this issue

### 4/5 — Пропали push уведомления в версии 2.7

*2026-06-27*

Приложение норм, развернул домашний сервер, все что мне нужно работало идеально, но с последним обновлением пропали push уведомления.

### 4/5 — Best matrix BUT….

*2026-05-13*

So far this is the smoothest running matrix client ive tried on IOS and MacOS. My only complaint would be that there is no setting to show/hide the user list of a chatroom with out going in to settings and checking that way.

### 4/5 — Добавьте звонки

*2026-03-27*

Добавьте звонки как в element classic и будет всем счастье

### 3/5 — Удобно, но сыровато

*2026-03-26*

Приложение приятное и удобное. Но иногда тормозит и багуется. Например, у меня почему то не отправляются картинки в чате. Также приложение виснет при попытке авторизации на другом устройстве. Из-за этих мелочей портится впечатление, и приходится пользоваться другим клиентом

### 3/5 — Voice Messages

*2026-03-10*

Hey, could some devs try to add that FluffyChat sends Audio/OGG files when using Voice Message Features instead of m4a? I use a WhatsApp Bridge (mautrix) and it can’t Bridge the Voice messages because of the wrong file type

### 3/5 — Missing functionalities

*2026-03-09, version v2.4.0*

I like it, but for me there are a few things that ruin it.

In the settings, there's no option to add the timestamp for messages, so you can't follow a conversation as closely.

The notifications are also just general, no option for seeing a preview of each message.

Fixing these would be a great start!

### 2/5 — not great

*2026-03-02, version v2.4.0*

frequently hangs at the logo upon opening & i have to close then reopen the app multiple times to get it to work, times out when trying to enable chat backup. 
also, the way it handles sub spaces feels very clumsy.

### 4/5 — Very good client but still in development

*2026-02-23*

This is a pretty good client all things considered, but it is a bit rough around the edges. I still prefer it to the element and element x client however.

### 2/5 — Темы в пространствах видно без пространства

*2026-01-31, version v2.4.0*

В телеграмме под темы в темах скрыты в темах. Тут же захламляет. Как то надо скрыть

### 4/5 — Не хватает кружочков

*2025-11-30*

Отличное приложение, переписываюсь там с друзьями и семьёй, но для идеала не хватает только записи кружочков как в телеграм.

### 3/5 — 什么时候支持语音通话与视频通话？

*2025-11-21, version v2.3.0*

什么时候支持语音通话与视频通话？

### 2/5 — Copy Paste image functionality?

*2025-11-13, version v2.2.0*

I have seen many updates in this app, yet none of them include a paste feature which includes images yet. Can we get that pleaseeee? Keeping photos on my phone loads up a lot of storage over time, which can be cut down with this feature. This other feature is pushing it, but can the app also have more customization? I prefer this app over other element clients for its colors and stickers functionality, but the colors are getting dull…

### 4/5 — Сделайте пожалуйста звонки

*2025-09-12*

Все супер, клиент отличный, но не работают звонки

### 4/5 — Great fix for kids to communicate across platforms without phone number

*2025-08-20, version v2.1.0*

Some kids in the class have iPad but no phone number for whatsapp, some have non Apple phones and this no iMessage, so how can they communicate? This works across platforms and without a phone number.

### 1/5 — Full bugs

*2026-08-20*

This new version is awful and destroyed everything that was working smoothly, chat doesn’t get seen when you open them, crashes in syncing messages, delayed notifications, and so much more , i’m disappointed in fluffy chat and switching to element

### 1/5 — I can’t connect to my locally hosted instance?

*2026-04-16, version v2.5.1*

I can connect to it just fine with safari or a web browser but this app just does nothing.

### 1/5 — Сырое

*2026-03-25*

Красивое бесполезное приложение. Саб темы не создаются. Общие если перенести в пространство не спрятать. А главное звонки не работают. Удивляет рейтинг

### 1/5 — UI feels alien

*2026-01-31*

It feels like it doesn't want to be an iOS app. A few good things Liquid Glass brought was the ability to put thr search bar on the bottom. Also when I tap on it I see suggestions in very small font.

### 1/5 — Не работает

*2026-01-09*

Ноль

### 1/5 — Sign up?

*2024-06-05, version v1.21.0*

Matrix requires you to use an app to register.
So, why does this app only allow you to sign in with an already existing account?

### 1/5 — Good luck

*2024-05-22, version v1.20.0*

You have to be under twenty to figure out how to install the thing

### 1/5 — Broke

*2024-05-17, version v1.20.0*

Spectacularly broken now. Used an email address field for username and now we can’t use colons. Can’t use a username because it complains about home server. I took a break from this app for a solid year and now it’s non functional. Nice.

### 1/5 — Пинкод вечно нетверный

*2024-04-21*

0000 ставишь пин код 
И при вхоже в приложение 
Он не верный система пишет ахахахах😆🤣

### 1/5 — Unreliable, glitchy, crashes since latest update

*2024-04-08*

I wasn't a huge fan of this app, I've yet to find a way to  attach videos that doesn't require saving them as files first. On top of that there is a bug that shows notifications until you come out of the chat and go back in which is really annoying. 

Since the latest update though, things have gotten much worse. The app has become extremely slow, I get error messages multiple times per day and the entire app then crashes. Now I am hearing notifications and I know I have messages, but they don't load unless I quit the app and reload, which lately takes forever. 

Reporting bugs or submitting crash reports requires you to sign into git hub. I'm not going to do that.

### 5/5 — Находка

*2026-06-30*

Единственный для матрикса, у которого работает поиск по сообщениям!

### 5/5 — Copy Paste image

*2026-06-24*

add copy paste image function and my life is yourssss

### 5/5 — Ratings?

*2026-05-23*

I don’t get the bad ratings, this app is (up to my current testing) the best looking and easiest to read matrix app. Thanks for the great work!

### 5/5 — Definitely the best iOS Matrix app

*2026-01-18*

Only downside is there’s no built in calling capacity.

### 5/5 — Sichere WhatsApp Alternative

*2026-01-12*

FluffyChat funktioniert wunderbar mit meinem Matrix Synapse Server.     Endlich unabhängig von den großen „Playern“. Dank dem Entwickler!

### 5/5 — Nice!

*2026-01-07*

Very beautiful application, very convenient, login/registration does not require vpn in Russia and does not need Mas (my server does not support it) unlike element (x). When they add calls, it will be even better

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2025-10-25, version v2.1.1*

I tried Element Classic and Element X, and I tried FluffyChat which I like the most. In comparison to Element Classic and X, FluffyChat loads much faster. Almost instantly. I really like that. It also doesn’t have strange bugs like Element Classic and X. Thank you very much for this free app.

### 5/5 — 2 Years User

*2025-10-05, version v2.1.1*

best matrix client on iOS/iPadOS ever

### 5/5 — Only good iOS client

*2025-01-20, version v1.23.0*

Seriously, Element (including ElementX) are so buggy compared to this...

### 5/5 — i love this app!

*2025-01-16, version v1.23.0*

very cute and secure
