Ratings and Reviews
Transitioning from Crew App.
We’ve use the crew app since 2014 to keep all of our employees and shops connected, but in the last year they started to take a serious quality nose dive. So we have swapped to your newer Breakroom App. So far so good, we understand it’s fairly new and still being worked on. We just hope that you don’t fall short where Crew did, I.e. actually listening to what your users need and want and making timely adjustments. I know the first thing off the top of my head I would love to see is a “blackout” UI and maybe customizable background picture. The one with all the different designs is a little chaotic when trying to scroll through and read messages from 30+ employees. There are other things that could be streamlined or tweaked but overall a good start. Already leaps and bounds better than Crew.

Thank you so much for the detailed review and the great feedback. We hope to do exactly what you said which is listen to our users and improve the app quickly. Stay tuned on the "blackout" UI. If you have anything else you'd like to see, please send us an email at hello@breakroomapp.com
Excellent App!
Found this app as an alternative to Crew. It’s almost identical. The only thing it needs is to have an actual calendar view option rather than having to scroll over all the days to find a specific day that you’re looking for. That’s the most important issue for me personally. I also wish it had the kudos leaderboard that Crew had. Sometimes there is a delay when there’s a new notification, you have to keep pulling down to refresh until it will appear. Other than that it’s an awesome app. I love having this for our team communication!

Thank you so much for your review and glad to hear you're loving the app. We appreciate the feedback and these are things our developers have on their roadmap!
Direct messaging filter but loophole
I was setting this up to use and was excited to see the options of filtering access to managers. But there is a loophole. I understand the functionality of allowing messaging of your entire team. But the option to limit or block messaging in the Everyone Group chat to me is a loop hole in allowing Co-Workers to message another Co-Worker even if it will be seen by everyone. Please look into an update to limit or block messaging within this chat. Would be an absolute slam-dunk if that functionality existed.
UPDATE: Support reached out and immediately updated my need to limit the Everyone Group chat. And to mention did this on Thanksgiving Holiday! Superb Customer Service!

Hi! Great to hear you're enjoying the app! We can limit messaging in the Everyone group chat if you'd like. Feel free to send us an email at hello@breakroomapp.com and we can update this for you. Thanks!
