Riot user reviews :

Identity server (vector.im) integration doesn’t work. Dispalys “Missing Access Token” in the Discovery settings tab. So I can’t discover other Matrix users.

Verifying devices is buggy and requires that you wait for the other party until they confirm before you can exit the window. Please allow users be able to minimize the verification window and continue chatting instead of having the device verification window as a persistent window. Otherwise, great efforts for users seeking private messaging platform.

Works pretty well as an IM client to our selfhosted family Matrix chat server. Communication between family members have been seamless. Notifications at least for us have been reliable. Originally quite rough around the edges, this app I feel has matured significantly from a year ago.

The app has been pretty reliable over several months. The underlying service doesn’t seem quite as polished for video chat and screen sharing seems not easily possible currently. As an alternative to having data trapped in Slack, Riot is good.

Functions, but just barely. It constantly disconnects, and doesn’t send me notifications from the chat rooms I’m a part of.

Love it. Great for group communication

Great. Improved a lot in the last months. Plus it’s open source, which takes it to an other level.

I never manage to register my account, error when the app wants to verify my email and when I submit the registration form..

Several missing features compared to iOS and web versions, but it does the job right.

Hanging up video calls causes app to freeze.

I really like being able to check on my home and my son who is epileptic

Worked on a custom server for all of about a week, and then started being unable to connect to that server at all no matter what we did. Reset things on my end, server was reset on their end, nothing. Pinging the server indicated the actual server was working, pinging the matrix address revealed that was the problem. Want to like it but it’s frustrating to use.

This app works on some samsung phones except this phone, Galaxy S10+ with Android 10. Voice and Video calling always failed on this phone. Looking forwards to RiotX to fix these issues.

In general, I am very fond of riot and matrix in general, but I would like to point out that the upgrade path is absolutely sub optimal. While I do not have a problem with being forced to upgrade to a newer version of riot, especially when security concerns are the reason for the force upgrade, I have an issue with not being notified of the upgrade and then not receiving any chat notifications from the old application any more. A heads up would have been nice. In addition, you could have ported the settings to the new app, having to reenter everything was a nuisance. But as I said before, overall, you are all doing a great job!

Riot is an open, secure, and decentralized group communication app. I’d say it’s kind of like an open source discord, minus the gamer focus. It’s really easy to use while also being secure, as it supports end to end encryption. You can even run your own server and connect to everyone else, it’s like email where everyone has their own address and some on different servers. Doesn’t use much data and notifications work great. Overall, this is an excellent app and I would recommend.
