Annoying and not user friendly
10/28/2025

Mikey_117
It is amazing to me how difficult this app makes it to get anything done. Instead of being a one stop shop for everything, I have to routinely use other means to get stuff done. I’m assuming a former intel officer made this app. You can’t save or forward photos in group chats. Which is really annoying when trying to get SITREPs done or share information across different chats. File sharing is iffy at best. MS Teams is way better than this half baked app from 2007.

First of all, need an update for cache cleaning. Files and images are being collected from the group chats and now I have 6gb of stuff that I never needed and can’t clear my storage out. Deleting an app means all that bs register/activation from the beginning.Second: private chat messages are being sent without a notification sometimes. It’s literally up to app if it’s decided to notify you about new conversations.Third is a pop up messaging. I understand that the idea if to keep everything secure but there should be an option to preview a new message.Very raw product that shouldn’t be released and given for use to a departments.

Bare bones and buggy

I just started using this and have not received notifications for new messages even though notifications are enabled. Onboarding was difficult since it requires a complex password but fails to give you requirements for it. I’ve had messages show on one device and not another. Why is the choice of cloud platform (AWS) part of the title of the app? Not sure. It sounds like an internal project name that they made public facing. Hopefully functionality improves since I have no other options for my organization. On the bright side, it allows you to edit messages and use emojis.

I’m unable to log back in to my app. I entered my password, didn’t work. I tried to change my password, still didn’t work. This app is relied on by service members. A little more care should be taken to work on the bugs with in the app. When you reach out for a “support team” it’s not there, only automated messages… I would give this app zero stars but I’m forced to give it one.
