join.me - Simple Meetings Ratings and Reviews

Works great, but there are two big gotchas with the user experience. First gotcha: joining the meeting is not enough! It is a TWO STEP PROCESS. You begin with NO AUDIO, unless you remember to also click the phone icon, and connect there as well. This should have been integrated. Second gotcha: YOUR MICROPHONE BEGINS HOT! You must remember to mute your microphone. Should have been a single tap of a top-level icon to do this, as it is a common user task, but instead it takes many clicks into a sub-menu to mute and un-mute. Third gotcha: NO BLUETOOTH. Just phone speaker. Crank volume all the way up and hope you can hear. There is no audio selection menu, so no way to route the audio to another device such as a headset or Bluetooth speaker.

I am planning to use this app to teach students, as I was fascinated by its whiteboard and screen share features on iOS devices. I still haven’t tried an actual meeting yet, but I have noticed two major suggestions to improve. First, the whiteboard should support Apple Pencil, so users can use one-finger gestures like other drawing or note-taking apps and be able to use the double-tap feature on the Pencil 2. Second, the app should support the 2018 iPad Pro screen ratio. Some screen elements around the edge has cut off, and I hope the app could fill the entire screen. I will update the review as I use it for actual meetings and/or once the app is updated.

This app is really smooth and has some great features! However, a few of us have had trouble getting the camera to work for ourselves and sometimes for everyone. Tech support was not helpful in fixing this.

It was working great until the upgrade to iOS 12. Since then I cannot get anyone to join the meeting hosted on the iPhone. That allow screen pops up and disappears immediately before I can click it. I can’t do screen sharing on the iPhone now which is why I got in the first place

Updated- it lets people join but ends the meeting immediately with the reason "stop sharing ". This is an app I pay for every month and it’s frustrating that does not work please fix.

Being sent to 5 other pages that make no sense. Trying to handle and figure out where to go to get the monthly subscription. I go buy it on Apple and it gets pulled but I can’t do anything as my account doesn’t qualify for pro because of my subscription? Which makes no sense. I go to email like they told me with my reference number they gave me then get told I can’t do that. Spent over two hours figuring it out and I just can’t do this thing of confusion. Even on an OG account from way back when. This is the only place left I can ask for a refund at this point.

The system is not stable or predictable. Sometimes it works well, other times it is difficult to join or stay joined to a call. It is difficult sometimes to get connected to the audio or stay connected to the audio. The system sometimes just drops your audio, or randomly disconnects you entirely from the meeting.

Overall, very difficult tool for meetings.

I have used this for a couple years, but every time a new IOS release comes out it breaks. Most recently, with IOS 13 and Specifically iPad OS, the app performance is very slow and the app is unable to connect to the microphone. As a result, I am unable to host meetings. I have always liked the app but the days or weeks of issues after every IOS update is getting old.

I used to use this on my iPad all the time. In fact I would do it even when I sat across the desk from someone because it was more elegant than getting up and walking around and standing behind their back. But lately it forces you to download the app but never seems to go any further on Windows machines. I tried it myself on my Mac and it works fine. Please make it work again.

This is either a bug, or very shady. I have headphones in, and the UI shows the volume going down but the volume never goes down. I have very sensitive ears and hearing loss is very real in my family to the point that my mother has 90% hearing loss, I hope not to have that but this silliness of not being able to turn the volume down is not cool.

Excellent feature addition. Keep up the great work.

Please consider adding Apple Watch support for common commands. I use AirPods for all my calls so a mute option would be really nice.
