### 1/5 — Application complètement buggée

*2025-08-06, version 10.4*

Plate-forme semble prometteuse mais complément buggée (sur iOS en tout cas). Toutes mises à jour effectuées. Sur 3 terminaux différents (iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPad Pro M2) impossible d'avoir la réunion correctement, déconnexions intempestives, impossibilités de se reconnecter, écrans figés etc

### 4/5 — Presentation mode

*2021-05-01, version 8.4*

In presentation mode the speaker’s image hides a significant part of the presentation (btw 1/8 and 1/6 of the presenters slide). 

Please: Either 1) allow the user to move anytime the speaker’s image up and down, rights and lefts like on FaceTime. 
Or 2) take out the speaker’s image from presentation mode (we can switch from presentation to speakers view so there is no use of this feature).

### 1/5 — Drops so easily すぐ落ちる

*2020-03-13, version 5.0*

（日本語は後）Attended RSI 101 by the co-founder of KUDO. There were about 300 people connected from all over the world but the app frequently showed “request timeout” and “application error” without me doing much. The video froze, messaging function wasn’t working (either I couldn’t type, or even if I typed, it won’t send). 
The explanation given by the speaker was, “it’s slow today” but as in the previous review, it should be a known technological limitation of this app. We were told to refresh so I once left, but I wasn’t able to rejoin the meeting despite many tries. I listened to both the floor and Spanish interpretation but one of the interpreters weren’t translating and all I heard was her breath. It wasn’t a pleasant experience. 創立者のセミナーに接続しましたが最悪のUXでした。300人ほどの出席者で画面が凍り、チャットは要求タイムアウトやアプリケーションエラーになり、全員再読み込みしろと言われたので一度退出したら、何度やっても暫く会議に参加できませんでした。今日は遅いとの話だったけれど、前のレビューも似ているから、設備投資の問題だと思います。スペイン語の通訳者も一人はちゃんと訳していたけれど、もう一人は息してるのが聞こえるだけで全然追いついてなかった。

### 1/5 — 使えない

*2019-12-05, version 4.6*

aws reinventで利用しましたが使用感は最低でした。
音声の途切れやアプリ上からはわからない状態でコネクションが切れていたり、多くの時間と費用をこのアプリのおかげで無駄にしました。
参加者、利用者が多かったために発生したnwの混線などが原因なのかもしれませんが、なんにせよ重要なイベントでは二度と利用したくないです。
