Honestly a great alternative to discord BUT

I think this will 90% be my alternative to discord because of how customizable it is, it still requires some getting used to concerning the layout, like the communities/servers and stuff, but overall, it actually seems super great, i play on console as of now so i cant really use it to game, and i definitely miss the soundboard features BUT i love how calling and video calling look and sound, the camera is actually WAYYYYYYY better than when i use instagram to call, and the audio isnt muffled like when i talk on discord, of course these are from my phone, i havent tried on pc yet

the only thing i'd say thats left to add is soundboards or yt in the app like discord if it isnt there already!!

Way better than discord

I’m honestly surprised, I saw this app on instagram and decided to get on it with my friends. I did not expect it to be good but omds yes it is. Keep going devs. Only thing i would request is like, how to navigate / make your own servers and such, other than that everything is pretty good rn

Отлично

Отличное приложение, все очень нравится.

Но хотелось-бы что добавили разные языки в приложение, по типу русского, японского и т.д.

Жду обновлений, приложение чуть сырое.

Sugestões

O aplicativo é ótimo, porém deveriam colocar os bots pra ser de graça e que dê para colocar no mobile, e também deveriam mudar mais coisas como deixar um apelido ao invés do nome principal único, e deveria ter mais tipos de decorações no perfil, para mudar a cor dele e etc, e deveria ter traduções para outras línguas.

Response from developer

Thanks for the feedback! We only charge for apps when they have a real cost for us, like hosting. Apps already work on mobile, and adding them from mobile is on the way. We also recently launched themes, and we've noted your suggestions about nicknames, profiles and languages

Add more design features!

This is already 5000 times better than discord, it’s also more simpler and easy to navigate which I just love, and I hope everyone uses this app instead of discord because it’s so freeing being able to design your own profile.
I honestly think you should go above and beyond, and make even more design features than discord, it will make your app loved

Great

Very good alternative to discord however sometimes when pressing on the messages replied to someone it doesn’t properly load them. Also can you please add an option to search for individual messages in chats like on discord rather than only have a search available for usernames

Great app

I love this app especially seeing that unlike apps like discord I can actually use certain gifs and images without subscriptions as well as I can add gifs as a banner as well which is neat, the chats are easy to use as well as it’s easy to friend as soon as you get the app. Great app I recommend it if you don’t want to pay for discords nitro subscription every month for features you should have just in general 10/10 no complaints so far.

De nombreux point a corriger

L’application est assez buger surtout au niveau des appel essayer de mettre des notifications à chaque message est un vraie sonnerie en cas d’appel mais l’application est très prometteuse

Not too bad

A few things could be worked on. For example being able to view your own bio after you’ve made it, being able to favourite emojis and making it easier to navigate. But the concept and the ability to use the app is good so far

Can see potential

It’s definitely close to another chat system, but it’s blocky aesthetic can be admired.

It’s good!

So far i would say it is much better than other popular communication apps like discord, i would hope to see it grow in the future!

Great community!

Updating my review as the devs not only responded but also fixed a lot of what I mentioned!

Speaking of the devs, I do love how involved with the community feedback they are and how they are doing their best to deliver :)

I really like the look and mission of this app, and I know it’s still new and likely a small team behind it and I wish you guys well on that mission as I’d love for this to be where my friends and I can stay in the long term.
There are some things here and there where cracks show in it being a newer app, such as errors giving general info but not telling you why it’s not working. I tried sending a photo that’s 17MB big and got a file size error, after much research it’s because it was a RAW file, not the size. And my server that I just started so it’s just me and two apps I’ve added says there are 4 people online… but even if I include the two apps there’s no fourth person. Even the member list only shows 3 members, so 4 is definitely wrong.

Upon downloading this on my PC I found out this was a Chromium app and that immediately feels against the sales pitch I was given about the platform being private and secure. And for that reason alone, my friends are not jumping with me to Root.

Thanks for such a thoughtful review, and for giving Root a proper try. The RAW upload error and incorrect online count are both really useful callouts, especially where the error messaging didn’t explain what was actually wrong. Just to clarify one point, Root’s desktop app is native. We use Chromium for specific parts of the experience, including voice, video and apps, but Root itself isn’t a Chromium app. If you’re happy to, please send the RAW upload and member count examples to Support so we can dig into those properly. Your feedback is really appreciated and we look forward to hearing from you soon
