### 2/5 — Lack of photo uploads

*2026-07-14, version 11.47.0*

Poor functioning system that does not allow photo uploads from a mobile app

### 2/5 — 編集ができない

*2026-04-27*

下書きで保存していたものが編集できませんと出る。
改善してほしい

### 3/5 — Typing problems and format issues

*2026-01-22, version 11.27.0*

The formatting is nice but it’s not refined. 
1. You can’t add stickers to your chats anymore or photos. Neither won’t send with the new IOS update. 
2. It takes far too long to get to the chat you’re looking for. 

I’d like to see some finesse and updates pushed through for this app.

### 2/5 — Goodbye

*2025-08-07*

This app used to be good. Our business has used this for many years however the last 1-2 years it has gone downhill which has caused us to depart to a new app. Videos don’t work on here, pictures don’t load at times, and invites to new or inactive users have not been working for months. They also limit how many invites are allowed to be sent out daily making it extremely hard with both these issues to get employees on or engaged. Disappointing this is a Microsoft app though many issues that seem to not have been fixed for ages. All the best viva/yammer!

**Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, we're sorry you're not able to login successfully. We have found an issue with the authentication prompt and have released a fix in 7.43.1. Please let us know if the issue is resolved after updating. If you continue to have issues, feel free to reach out to us directly at yammer-ios-team@microsoft.com.

### 2/5 — New user and too hard to understand

*2025-08-03*

Recently my job had to change to viva engage from another app. This app has been so ugly and so hard to use. You can’t see your own posts on your profile without it being mixed in with other posts. The photos are too small and have an unnecessary blurred border around them. Had to use 3 apps to sign in. Just overall hard to use.

### 1/5 — Absolutely useless

*2025-07-29, version 11.4.1*

If you try to post using this application and you have an image, every time without fail, it uploads the image and strips the text around the image - so you try to add a post centering around the photo, and this useless application, just uploads the photo - no text

### 1/5 — アップルウォッチで使えるようにして下さい。

*2025-07-27*

アップルウォッチで使えるようにして下さい。

### 2/5 — SORT FUNCTION

*2025-05-28*

Please please allow us to sort by “most recent”. Especially when doing a “search”. This is a pretty basic function in almost every other app. When searching for something we should be able to see the most recent posts, instead it’s all jumbled y random dates and years. Should have a most recent, sort by date, sort by relevance, etc. with the feed as well, should have some sort functions. This app has no real organization it’s just all random.

### 1/5 — Delete

*2025-05-04, version 10.99.0*

I no longer need this app but will not let me delete!!!

### 1/5 — Useless developers. Now can’t sign in!

*2025-03-07, version 10.92.0*

Can’t even sign in now. It’s Microsoft, so they don’t care about customers. Fire your team. If you can’t make a change without breaking the app then quit your job. It’s not my job to be your IT

### 1/5 — Bug

*2025-02-19*

I’m unable to sign in there is some bug persisting in the application do look into it

### 4/5 — Please add broadcast option to app

*2025-02-19, version 10.91.0*

Access to the app is convenient but inconvenient when the broadcast button is available via the app. Please fix ☺️

### 2/5 — Lack of Sorting filters

*2025-02-11*

The app is usable and has potential. But the fact that you can’t even sort the feed nor search results is crazy. People want to open and see recent posts not the posts they saw last week. And when trying to search for something the results are so out of order and half the time unrelated. Much room for improvement

### 2/5 — Yammer

*2025-01-12, version 10.85.0*

Why can’t it show posts in chronological order? 
Worse than Facebook for out of date posts.

### 1/5 — Videos won’t upload

*2024-11-12, version 10.79.0*

No matter how small I make the video, it can’t be played. Original yammer was better.

### 1/5 — Notification issue on iPhone

*2024-08-09*

Notification on iPhone always shows as below, please fix it:
Translation missing: vi-JP.apple_push_text.transaction.announcement_rebranded

### 1/5 — Notifications fir nothing

*2024-07-11, version 10.64.0*

I’m deleting this crumby app. I’m getting badges for notifications but in the app there are no notifications. I have tried to clear them, and it’s taking more time and energy than I can be bothered with. When an app becomes needy rather than helpful, it’s time to go!

### 1/5 — Log in

*2024-06-19, version 10.61.0*

Will no longer allow me to log in.

### 2/5 — Login

*2024-06-16, version 10.60.0*

Doesn't allow me to login, says restricted even though I have been able to login to it before

### 1/5 — Editing posts

*2026-05-13, version 11.40.0*

For the last week while been unable to edit my own posts, it worked briefly last week then stopped working again.  Any changes I need to make I have to delete and repost

### 1/5 — Always gets stuck on the loading screen.

*2025-12-02, version 11.22.0*

For some reason every now and then the logo on the intro screen it gets stuck on and i have to delete and reinstall it. So annoying.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2025-10-26, version 11.17.0*

Every time I go to open the app it’s stuck on the logo even if i delete the app and re-download it still doesn’t work

### 1/5 — App

*2025-10-02, version 11.14.0*

App is terrible can’t even use it on my iPhone 14 Pro, just sends me around and around with verification in a vicious cycle getting nowhere. Even removing and reloading app nothing changes. Very disappointing

### 1/5 — Doesn’t load

*2025-09-28, version 11.13.0*

Half the time home feed doesn’t load.

### 1/5 — Feed

*2025-08-21, version 11.7.1*

The feed never shows up, ever. I’ve tried to redownload, refresh and everything still doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Black Screen

*2025-08-20, version 11.7.0*

I would love to use this on the go but when I sign in and enter my password I think mfa is not working so I get a black screen. Even after killing the app and trying again

### 1/5 — Won’t refresh.

*2025-08-13*

Newsfeed won’t refresh. Just keep getting “we’re having problems. Try refreshing”.

### 1/5 — 開けない

*2025-07-30*

ずっと起動画面で固まったまま起動されません。

### 1/5 — Can't sign in!!!!

*2025-07-29, version 11.4.1*

I open the app, and type my username and password. The app automatically opens the Microsoft authentication app and IN THE AUTHENTICATION APP tell me to open the authentication app and click the number to log in. But I'm in the app! I'm in this total authentication death loop and nothing works to fix it.

### 5/5 — Great but…

*2026-03-10, version 11.31.0*

I love this app we use in school but there’s something I find annoying when you comment you can’t see what your commenting too while your typing

### 5/5 — Judge was here

*2022-10-21, version 9.37.0*

Doing a great job Alex

### 5/5 — Microsoft Support is 2nd to none!

*2022-06-08*

So I had an issue with the app and the support team emailed me about it. We corisponded back and forth several times and they just put out a patch yesterday and the problem is solved!!! Love the app and use it all the time!

### 5/5 — IT department and ASR department

*2021-07-13, version 8.23.0*

I would like to give a big shout out to two guys that helped me with an computer issue. These guys did not stop until they fixed the issue. My INC 25678349 incident number and the guys are Jonathan Oaks from HDIT and Steffan Cook from ASR. These guys are great and extremely computer smart. Thanks guys

### 5/5 — Continues to improve

*2020-08-19, version 7.74.0*

Excellent companion to the Yammer service

### 5/5 — Multi use tool that effects my productivity and outcomes.

*2020-07-03, version 7.69.0*

I use Yammer to lead groups, collaborate with peers, poll my clients and extensive backbone of usability work.   I wish we didn’t need to be behind the firewall so I have to VPN to use the mobile App.  Otherwise, SUPER helpful and fairly intuitive.

### 5/5 — App works great but still no dark mode

*2020-07-02*

Version 7.69.0 on iOS says you can experience dark mode if your settings within iOS are set to dark mode. Mine are and always have been since it was available in iOS, even tried toggling but still no dark mode in Yammer. Not a major issue but a nice to have. Correction, dark mode activated 10 minutes after install.

### 5/5 — Excellent tool

*2020-06-07, version 7.66.0*

This is an amazing tool and I have to laugh when people say it is confusing.  It is basically Facebook for your organization.  We are seeing 110000 active daily users and it has increased our organizations communication reach.  Like any tool, you have to start with “why?”.

### 5/5 — Good team platform

*2020-04-10, version 7.59.0*

Great way to update team

### 5/5 — Pinned post at the top of a group/community feed

*2020-03-31*

Hi is it possible to add a function where admins can pin a post to the top of the newsfeed in a group/community if possible please? A bit like the function on Twitter, It would be really handy for major updates or things you want to keep front of mind the members so those posts/announcements don’t get lost in the group feed. I know there’s the option of pinned post menu but on the app version it’s a bit hidden away and not front of mind where people go to.
