Meh

It’s good for getting info from your organization but useless to post from your phone.

Why can’t this save an email and password

Constantly signed out and have to do the whole dance. Very poor on the iPhone.

Works great

I get all the workplace news in time and the UI is good. Many people would benefit from using it!

OK

Works as advertised. Would like all images to display in landscape as well as portrait. That function used to work couple years ago, then stopped. Also, company videos always stop and lock up with about 10% remaining. Every video does the same no matter the length.

Worst

This might be the worst communication tool ever. 1) Never stays logged in., 2) is just a web wrapper, but barely even serves their own pages properly (frequently the sidebar cuts off the other content and doesn’t move), and 3) is way too expensive for a poor experience.

It never works

I have only been able to use this a handful of times, usually it just shows a blank screen. It never works.

Can’t save password

Been using this app for over a year and they still haven’t figured out how to save your password. After having to re-enter it every time I open the app I just ended up deleting it. Shame cause the site itself is great it’s too bad the app falls WAY short.

Never works

I am rarely able to log in as it always says “no internet connection” or “is having difficulty connecting to the server”. I have tried it on multiple devices, all of which were connected to high speed Internet. Rarely worked.

Issue viewing

You can view the whole page in the app. Started on the last view days needs to be fixed

Inconvenient

Never stays logged in and I have to input password all the time.
Sso but more like inconvenient option

Single sign on broke the app

Enter my email and it won’t work. Shows a white screen. This happened since my workplace implemented single sign on.

Looks good but slow to load

Seems a bit slow. Other than that it looks good.

Feels like a web page, but less functional

Please at least support the share button on SSO login page. Face ID support would be even better.

2017 and no iPad support

The company should be ashamed of themselves. It is compatible with iOS 7 but since most of the world is iOS 10/11 it is not very helpful.

iPad will give you the 1x iPhone version (yes I’m serious). No Touch ID support. No 1Password support.

Get the theme?

Document won’t open

Documents are showing up. It’s just a grey box with the name of the PDF in it. I even tried downloading it and still couldn’t read it

Lacking polish

Performs the basic functions that their web client does but lacks the polish I'd expect from most apps. For example:
- the okta sso integration requires you to re-authenticate every time you open the app. This is a frustrating experience that puts me off using the app.
- notifications don't deep link, they take you to the homepage and leave you guessing - was it an article, update, shout-out, event, private or org-wide discussion that notified me?

For that matter what even are these things, how is an update different to an article to a shout-out? It's obvious if you're jostle. For everyone else, it's hard.

Not great

Keeps saying connection lost even when on strong wifi, and keeps reloading pages when trying to view them...

Doesn't Work

I don't know if it doesn't work in Canada or doesn't support the most current OS on iPhone 6.... But it doesn't work. I put my email address in on the login page and then it just shows the little "loading" circle going round and round forever.

Not very innovative

This is by far the worst internal communication system. There is no way to turn off notifications. Everything takes light years to load.

Groupme was far better than Jostle and it was free.

Almost Unusuable

The app itself and comments take far too long to load. Unintuitive navigation. Lacks many features of the desktop version.
