Reliable but still lacking iOS 9 features
By UnrealTechno (Pcmac user)
As others have posted, I get constant disconnects from the server making communication impossible. Not exaggerating, 40-50 disconnected and failed messages per day, this is not good for business.
Also, split screen on the iPad still isn’t supported...the app just feels neglected.
Oct 2018 update: The app hasn’t been updated in 6 months (except for GDPR compliance), we must assume that they are deprecating and discontinuing it. No updates for new iPhones nor iOS 12.
January 2019: Update issued: basic iOS 9 split-screen functionality still has not been added.
June 2019: Still no split view functionality, the latest update was minor bug fixes but still awaiting iOS 9 features. No watch app either, no multi-DS logins, but they JUST added copy/paste support for images...

Is the app still supported
By Bfc113 (Pcmac user)
Wasn’t this added years ago? Why can’t I message people and do other tasks like every other app?
October 2019 update:
Core iOS 9 features, such as split view, are still unsupported. Odd since this is the “last version to support iOS 10”. Lack of dark mode makes this app blinding vs the rest of the OS. No effort put into adding features, barely any basic bug fixes

Connection failed
By Bezsmertniy (Pcmac user)
Cannot establish a reliable connection to the server. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn't. Displays randomly "connection failed". Most of the time I'm logged in but cannot send or receive messages. It used to work just fine but after update it all went downhill.

It’s fine but...,
By Synology Chat App (Pcmac user)
Push notifications do not work on the IPhoneX and they seem to work on the older IPhone 7s. If notifications worked on the new iPhones, I would have rated this app little higher.
