### 1/5 — Don’t work

*2023-01-23*

Nothing more now than just a safari wrapper to pull up the web client. It’s not the older version of the app. False advertising and extremely glitchy. Mattermost burning all their good will with a horrible 2023 release. You really really should roll back all your app updates to the previous versions.

### 1/5 — Deserves no stars

*2022-08-26*

Utterly useless

### 1/5 — Not so great

*2020-09-27, version 3.10.3*

App is very slow to open. Keyboard doesn’t always pop up when text field is tapped.

### 1/5 — Horrible app

*2019-04-16, version 3.10.3*

Super buggy to the point where it’s essentially unusable due to sheer frustration.

### 1/5 — Suddenly can’t send message

*2017-09-30, version 3.10.1*

Out of the blue the return key on my iPad adds a new line instead of sending my message. It’s always been slow and buggy. I don’t understand why this app is so bad.

### 1/5 — Crap

*2017-08-25*

Doesn't let me login

### 2/5 — Fiddly to use

*2017-07-11*

a few usability issues. For eg the on screen keyboard coming up pushes list of channels out of view. Selecting a channel can be difficult as they take more than one tap to select because the channel list moves around after the first tap. 
I often find it's gone back to some default channel I have no interest in rather than the channel I was just working on. 

And what's with the name change Classic? Is there a better option coming?? Would be good if there were some Comms on this because it feels like a downgrade with no way to upgrade.

### 4/5 — Old version?

*2017-07-09*

Kinda weird that they call this the old version when is there is no newer version in the App Store.

### 1/5 — Really sad

*2017-07-09*

Look at Discord please. That's a UI. This is not good at all.

### 1/5 — Does it work?

*2017-07-08*

On my iPhone, the app always opens my browser. When the browser open, it tells me to use the app. So I click "Open app", it switches to the app, then switches back to my browser and opens a new tab. This keeps happening.

Anyone able to use this successfully on their iPhone?
