## Google Chat Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Make voice notes on web app possible"
Please make voice notes on website app (eg: on laptop) possible. Thanks
-- Ahchxhwj ipppqbbchheb, 2024-10-29

### **--- "Last seen"
Why don’t it show last seen
-- Tar small boi, 2023-09-24

### *---- "AVOID - Underbaked"
Woefully underdeveleoped. Lacks support of splitview or slideover. Cant reply to notifications. Share menu option is terrible to use and always starts a new thread every time. Zero possibilities with automation. You are better off using the Gmail app or your browser.
-- Cyrus_Omerta, 2023-08-25

### ***-- "Review"
Quality of sound wasn’t to good yet I’ll see on next call maybe it was the signal
-- IAmShe🔥, 2023-03-17

### ****- "Great App"
I enjoy using this app, it’s simple to use and works on all my devices. Would be great if there could be a voice note feature for the mobile app otherwise it does what it’s supposed to - get you to chat to people you need to.
-- ThandekaD, 2022-12-28

### *---- "Opened me up to spam"
Since Google forced me onto this I now get unwanted random chat requests that I can’t turn off.
-- AssailantBob, 2022-11-15

### ***** "GoogleChat"
l love this app it’s really amazingly good thanks so much for this app
-- PlainBeetle8506, 2022-10-28

### ***** "Google chat"
Has great connection and great to chat with you friends
-- milkalla, 2022-10-27

### *---- "No cat stickers"
Bring back the stickers!!
-- Michael Shrew, 2022-07-15

### ***-- "No video call"
Would like to do a video call
-- MarcelPutter, 2022-04-18

### ***-- "Could be better."
The chat doesn’t allow you to delete anything already sent like a picture. If this feature could be included. Otherwise the app is okay.
-- Awesomeness Saga, 2022-03-28

### *---- "Crashes when a URL with caption is inserted into a chat"
If I insert a URL into a chat and it displays the thumbnail of the website, the app crashes. When I submit it, the whole app crashes and it needs to be deleted and re-installed, just be able to work again.
Pretty normal for the low quality, unmaintained apps, on IOS, from Google. This issue has been happening for at least a year across multiple iPhones and multiple IOS releases.
-- raddishwtf2, 2022-02-17

### ****- "I would give 5…but unfortunately…"
Sometimes, when I try reaching out to someone, messaging them over and over again, I see that they don’t always receive the message as soon as it’s sent. For example, I recently messaged someone and they told me, 2 days later, when they came to me in person, that they hadn’t received my messages. I’ve been trying to reach out to someone, who has FIBRE, and they haven’t replied as yet. A lot of the times, I see that the messages don’t get sent until a 3 or 4 days after even. Hangouts never had this problem. I really hope you try fixing it, because if it’s an emergency, and this happens, it’s not going to be helpful at all. I love this app, no doubt about it. It mostly works 100% and I can have a conversation with someone, uninterrupted, for half an hour. But there are times where I wish the app would actually send my messages. Another tiny problem I have with this app, is that it isn’t end-to-end encrypted. I don’t know if I can really tell someone something important on it and know that nobody’s reading it. So I beg of you, please make it end-to-end-encrypted, and fix the ‘not sent until 3 or 4 days after it’s sent’ problem.
Thanks. Looking forward to what the next update is.
-- Maryammangera, 2021-12-12

### *---- "not impressed"
Why didn't they just modify Hangouts??
-- ShaunVDS, 2021-12-08

### ***** "Amazing game"
This app is so good because it is something you can talk to you friends and you can get it on any device you what 
❤️❤️amazing app please get now 1 more thing best for ages 5 to 12
-- psjd hds shsvhshs, 2021-07-03

### ***** "🤩"
Since it’s Quarentien now my friends and I can not chat. But this app I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ !   I love it!    Well done to who ever made this app!!!!!!!!
-- Leighdp13, 2020-08-19

### ***** "Amazing"
For chatting with colleagues
-- wGyvjovyogugygu, 2020-07-10

### ***** "Perfect for office chat and coordinating"
Was introduced through my work place, perfect app to keep communication lines open.
