Workcloud Chat 17+

I’m only using this app because my employer has decided I should. It’s frustrating.

Regularly having to sign in again when it times-out. Having to manually sign out and sign in again to force a refresh when I get notifications for messages that don’t appear in the feed. Having to manually clear notifications from my Watch for messages that I’ve already read in the app. Only being able to add attachments one at a time instead of by batch. Only being able to silence notifications for up to 8 hours. Frustrating and inefficient.

You would be much better sticking with iMessage or WhatsApp.

Or a very poor WhatsApp cousin. Currently forced to use at work, rather irritating. Constant logging in, unable to see photos/attachments from Home Screen or reply from Home Screen, unable to send attachments with commentary (has to be at least 2 separate messages) or send more than 1 attachment at a time, can’t (or don’t know how to yet) to change notification sound to differentiate between apps, horrendous quality of photos (WhatsApp degrades them but this is another underground level), cannot archive comms that are not currently needed, cannot reply privately to group comments, status of what was delivered/seen unnecessarily complicated… those are just a few bugs to name. Was told that some of these are in the works but that was months ago and so far nothing improved since the launch.

I like the concept of this app. Work comms without giving out your personal phone number. I work in a fast paced retail environment where communication is key and i need this app to be able to keep up which at the minute it just doesn’t do. Hopefully an update will fix in future but at the minute i’m getting notifications saying there are new messages and when i load the app there’s nothing there. Deleting and reinstalling is a temporary fix but this is frustrating.
