Ryver

After using it for over three month, I can write a broad review about the app. It is the worst, the app does not send messages fast and are delay, you’ll get a notification of a received message and when you do open the app there are none message; you’ll have to close and reopen the app just to see a message. Beside that it’ll logout without a reason, its connection is not stable. Another issue, if you open it during a call or listening to radio in your car, it will mute all sounds. I believe it has been the first app that I feel the need to write a review so they can improve it.

For the most part it functions very much the same as slack. Except for some details - that are definitely noticed / missed. 1- there's no way to change the push notifications sounds for mobile app iOS. Making it hard to know if it's a text or a ryver message. 2-there's not a way to change the timing of the "auto-away" setting. Those are the ones that i think of daily. I hope to see that change soon.

I’ve only been using Ryver for a short while. That said, a group of us are migrating from Slack to Ryver and so far I prefer Ryver. “Topics” (the forum-like section of the app) is a great feature and has already come in handy for our group. My only complaints (which are small, and not worth downgrading the app to 4 stars) are: - When using the Smart Keyboard with the iPad Pro, pressing “Enter” doesn’t send a chat message. It just drops you to the next line. I feel like if I’m using an external keyboard, the “Enter” key should be used to send messages (or this should at least be configurable). - The app has some minor display bugs. When editing a pinned Topic, sometimes the Topic drops below other, non-pinned Topics. This is fixed by simply refreshing the interface. Overall this is a very solid app and service. It will get my recommendation over Slack from now on.
