Google Chat Reviews

Terirble, small font, ugly interface

Fix these issues ASAP

I am not sure why developers design terrible and unfriendly interface like this. There are many texting/calling apps and Google made the worst decision to create the stupidest one. Overall failure

1. Better push notification handling. When I receive a new message and I’m outside the app, I get a nice little banner notification, can see the content, and hit reply near instantly. But, if I then switch into the app, I experience a lag of several seconds as it downloads and renders that same message. This is frustrating because I know that you have already sent me the message - why is it then slowing me down as it downloads and re-renders the same message? It would be better if I could switch to the app, and immediately see the message. 2. Ability to share content from outside the app. I’m browsing in safari, see an interesting article, and want to share with my team. There is no activity extension from google chat, so I have to copy the URL, switch to google chat (takes several seconds to load) then paste it in. Slack lets me do this directly from Safari.

Way to send more mixed messages about Google messaging

Hangouts, hangouts chats, google talk, alo, duo,...!! I still can’t figure which is for what, horrible consistency. I’m giving this a 1/5 because messages sent from this new app won’t get delivered to the old hangouts app or gchat on gmail, but messages from the old apps get delivered to this. Also if you’re on Android you can send text messages from the builtin messages app but you’ll receive them from the hangouts app. The only consistency with google’s messaging scheme is guaranteed inconsistency and confusion across the board, on all platforms.

More notification sounds please

The lack of being able to pick a notification sound is literally driving me nuts.

I use this frequently on a tablet for my work. Very difficult to type (with the screen in portrait mode) when I prop my device up to use the keyboard.

Good ideas; what about multiple accounts?!

With hangouts going away in october 2019, I tried this new chat app. It’s good. Rooms and threads work well. But I am flabbergasted that I cannot log into multiple accounts at once. What is the plan for this come October? I have to use gsuite for work, but many of my friends communicate in hangouts in my personal gmail account today
