Doesn’t suggest frequent contacts or favoritesWhen starting a new message, I typically type the name of the person/group I want to message in the “to” field. The mobile app suggests everyone in my Exchange contact list - my company has abt a million employees in contact. So, “john” gets me abt 200 results. The app already knows the “john”s I have historically messaged, the ones I regularly message, and the one(s) I have favorited. Yet, it doesn’t use any of this info to improve suggestions, which is critical for mobile apps because we tend to use the mobile app (instead of desktop app) when traveling, in a hurry, etc. It’s been like this for years and I was hoping they’d fix it. Disappointing UX..MaddunrVersion: 4.39.8781
Not bad but not goodOverall, like the title says, it’s not a terrible app. However my issues are with the build quality and integration with bigger phones, such as the 14 pro max. Biggest issue I have is when I get a chime notification within the app, it obviously shows at the top. However, with the dynamic island of the pro max, it is hard to read the notification as it doesn’t drop down far enough. If that could be addressed/fixed, it would make the app a lot better..JumpyblockuVersion: 5.21.3019
Great meeting appYou don't have to remember anymore pin or dial in... just a one button conference call, and with dial back enabled, so when the conference start you get a pop up on your pc asking to join. You can tell people you're few minutes late..
And the phone calls through data is fantastic.. switching from mobile network takes a fraction of a second... and I was able to be in the call in challenging situation like high speed train at 300km/hour!
Amazing.AgainaVersion: 4.21.6789
Sort of okay, sort of not okayThe video conferencing stuff works decently. That’s important.
The notifications don’t work right, and the app regularly shows stale/outdated/incorrect conversation and contact information. Notifications are one of those really important things for a chat app, and they’re just quite broken in the iOS app. Hope this gets prioritized.
The group chat rooms are pretty functional and have a good selection of features. Not too many to be confusing/hard to navigate - and not too few to be lacking in utility..JmsnhwVersion: 4.25.6900
IPad version needs to come on par with DesktopApp is functionally well and doesn’t have any major bugs. however given the iPad is now used extensively for business work, it would be great to have features similar to desktop like the ability to attach files which is very important differentiator for chime.Jaggy subbuVersion: 4.39.8712
Great app! one-touch dial working again!Thanks for fixing one-touch dial! I use this feature a lot because my internet connection isn’t the best, so I need to join meetings both on my phone and my laptop, and this app makes that easy again!.LibertyFrogVersion: 4.39.8780
NotificationsSince the most recent update my phone has not been able to notify me of new messages. Normally the phone will notify me about any new messages but it hasn’t. I would have open the app in order to see notifications. Notifications are on and allowed..AurrosalVersion: 4.39.8781
Please turn on notificationsIt would be awesome if I would get push notifications for group chats even if I don’t get tagged. I find myself constantly logging in to check for chat updates so I don’t miss anything. Thanks.Space-nightVersion: 5.20.2772
Scheduled NotificationsPlease add a function to the group chat notifications to be scheduled for a specific days and times. I would like to be paged only during my shift and not have to turn on and off the notifications manually. Thank you.AlexxbigzzzVersion: 4.39.8781
Works for my needs but that mute button…The app works as intended for my needs. My nitpick is the mute button UX is opposite from the desktop version — The button is unlit when muted on desktop, it’s lit when muted on the iOS version. Please consider aligning the UX between desktop and iOS..EdOverIpVersion: 4.39.8712
Apple WatchCan you make it have Apple Watch texting support? Currently I can only send a msg from my watch if I receive a msg. Can you make it so people can chime from their watch? While at work I do CPT’s & Dwells. So if I’m away from my computer I would like to msg people..Trolling_FarmVersion: 4.26.8128

Can you make it into an app.I would like to be able to send messages without getting a message first. Cause right now I can only message back if I get one first. Thanks other than that this app is great..Melo's iPhoneVersion: 4.20.6750
Has a lot of scope for improvementPros-
-simple and easy to use
-Video audio calls work really well
-Like the fact we can record a meeting
Cons-
-Big one, cannot set my status as Out of Office, people keep pinging unknowingly.
-Every time i restart my Mac, it faces connectivity problem
-Need automatic replies as well
-Cannot edit messages
-My phone app sometimes does not notify when a message is received, when i open it, it downloads all messages at one or need to keep killing the app to check messages.InfinitenumberVersion: 4.30.8221

Join muted non-functional in large conferencesWhen I “join muted” the call should initialize without my mic enabled. In big conferences my mic is often live for several seconds as things load.DxreviewsVersion: 5.23.3133

MeetingIm having a problem with this app. I cant enter in the meeting and after it shows close or message option.Jassi8513Version: 5.22.3078
BuggyOn first join to a meeting, I couldn’t speak, hear or tap any of the associated buttons to change settings.
After leaving and rejoining, the buttons were available. The meeting went well.
Oddly, you can’t see who’s speaking when you’re watching the screen tab. This is in contrast to other meeting apps where the picture-in-picture pop-up is showing in one of the corners so you can see the presenter’s face while they direct you around the screen share.
At the end of the meeting, I managed to say goodbye and then the app immediately crashed.
So, yes, buggy and some uncommon layout decisions but I’m sure this will be improved in the future..Oo0Bailey0oOVersion: 4.36.8566
Some major bugs are very much visibleFirst, the app is not using the speakerphone - so the maximum volume of the audio is quite low. Also the app causes some serious issues with the phone - once in the meeting, the phone screen often goes black and it is hard to reactivate it. Rotating the device helps..NGrigorievVersion: 4.36.8566
Great service, app needs an overhaulJust as the title said. The audio, video and screen sharing works flawlessly. The user interface is just ok, it works. I got this bundled for free with my Vonage VOIP service.
Summary: great service, clean call quality, Amazon needs to spend a bit of money and push this one over the finish line please!!
Cons: no option to sync my my address book, can not enter numbers manually (so I only see phone numbers in the info pane which is hard to identify). The temporary conference line functionality is undocumented and murky, not sure how it works or doesn't. One meeting disappeared after the first time, another I have been using for a recurring call without issue..ZergingVersion: 4.23.6849
GREAT service, better than Skype for Biz, but One thing that’s always bugged me.Chime is as good as or better than Skype for Business and I must say it’s a great tool for work teams and online meetings. Group chats are particularly useful.
One thing that has always kind of irritated me though: the options for sharing your presence are either everyone (think: 25K+ employees in organization) or nobody. Those are two huge extremes lol. I want to be able to share my online presence with my team but not necessarily my subordinates (who message me all the time like hello people we aren’t BFFs) and everyone in my org. Can we see a feature to add specific users to an option for “selected contacts only” to share online presence with, perhaps?
Summary: great service, better than Skype for Biz, fantastic for meetings, amazing for chat and groups, but more flexibility for sharing online presence would be appreciated!.DueNorth-GBay-89Version: 4.30.8221

Amazon Chime Negative Reviews
Not a great video meeting platformI’ve had four opportunities to use this video platform for a meeting, and on each occasion the video failed to function adequately. 3 times on my laptop. At the initial sign-in my video worked, as soon as the meeting moderator would sign in the laptop video dropped out. So on try 4, I used my iPhone 14+, IOS 17.1, this time again voice worked, when moderator opened the meeting he could see my video but it was very grainy and the meeting required a clear video to conduct our meeting. So four tries, four failed attempts..The Crew +1Version: 5.22.3103
Not optimal and buggyChime has long way to go compared to offerings from Zoom, Skype, or even WhatsApp.
In the past voice quality was below par, now that it is better the video side of things are below par. From features side, seeing multiple people sharing video is difficult on the phone app. When multiple people are switching videos, the app annoys by bringing up a popup “share video, or skip” every time someone else starts sharing video. If I’m on video tab and the popup cannot come, the app crashes kicking me out of conversation and I have to dial in.
Then there is lack of breakout rooms in a meeting, or asking questions to presenter by raising hand.
If bandwidth is low, the platform cannot adapt resulting in lags in both video and audio instead of adjusting to lower resolutions.
Overall, chime is not optimal.GalusVersion: 4.30.8241
Trash on ipadCan only see 2 lines of the text your typing despite huge screen. Can't search peoples names search comes up blank. Buggy. Many times it wont show comments until i exit and restart app. Takes a lloooonnnnggg time to update. Gives me notification of new message but doesn't actually show me the message in the app until a few minutes or hours has passed. Sending photos through app sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. My internet connection is good..Unknown u5erVersion: 5.23.3228
Very confusing to useIt kept on dropping me, I continued to click the link with the same result and not sure if I was supposed to use my audio or some other audio.
Also my head was huge holding my phone, could not fit my business profile in the video unless you put it a distance from where you are sitting. I would use Zoom or the Microsoft app. Click the link and I am in the meeting. If you want to make a great first impression stay away from this app.Fed up with it freezingVersion: 4.32.8397
Nice try….By far, the worst app of its kind. Very hard to get connection to work. It seems like there’s extra “features” or something that ultimately make it impossible to login. It kept saying it couldn’t connect due to WiFi connectivity—-something I’ve never encountered with the other apps. Same with 4 bars on just cellular. Don’t bother. Just get Zoom, or if you have to, MS Teams or Google Meet. I’m sure AMZN will get this eventually, but do we really need yet another version of FaceTime ?.Mike.R.Version: 5.23.3207
Chat during meetings is broken.No way to see new chat messages in the active meeting's chatroom by tapping on the chat icon at the upper right when in a call, despite it showing a badge on the icon with the number of unseen messages. Tapping on it only shows the already-seen messages. The only way to see new messages is to leave the call screen, hit Rooms at the bottom, and select the room for the current call..Triforcetr0nVersion: 5.10.2062
New update broke everything...againNew update broke notifications. It keeps disconnecting when I switch apps and when I switch back over it reconnects and I see all the missed notifications. Quick reply still doesn’t work. Just remove the option to use quick reply if you’re not going to fix it and yes I’ve deleted and reinstalled the app multiple times..Slig81303Version: 4.20.6750
Asks for phone number to call you back on FROM A CELL PHONEWhy would it not assume if I’m using a cell phone for chime and I ask you to call me on a phone number (when internet is poor) I wouldn’t want you to call me at the number on my cell?!?
When using this can’t access any screen sharing. Why?
Incredibly unreliable. Hangs 2 out of 3 times I start a meeting. I restart chime 2-3 times for most calls. Buggy. Unreliable. Poor QA..JeffreyPapenVersion: 5.20.2772
Can’t clear notifications on latest releaseEver since the new version dropped two days ago I have had notifications that are stuck resulting in the red number displaying even though there are no notifications to acknowledge within the app.
The only way for me to get rid of it is to completely hide the red number defeating the entire purpose of notifications..CrenimVersion: 4.24.6863
Chime room managementIs it possible to integrate a folder/grouping system to help manage the number of chime rooms we are in at any given time. A bit of organization would make this app much easier to use. Also, it would be helpful on the web version too..123abctreeVersion: 5.20.2772
Not user friendly enough- No ability to edit or revoke messages
- Meeting call continues to ring on phone after it has been accepted on the computer
- status update is buggy
- not able to message yourself
- no easy way to search and locate a room/conversation
- not able to pin a message inside a room
- not able to show multiple conversations at the same time
- not able to limit the search scope to a particular room or conversation
- markdown feature is hard to use and no preview is available
- nice to have: ability to mute notifications during certain hours.RandomnullundefinedVersion: 4.32.8397
The desktop version works betterI often don’t get notifications, doesn’t update or refresh chimes and have problems sending images, just sits there “sending….” The desktop version works a lot better..DzzdvVersion: 4.39.8712
Fails to load pics80% of the pics I try to send will not load and ends up lagging out. Even with a good signal. I end up having to send pics to my email to send and use for trouble tickets because chime won’t load the picture even when I take the photo using the app..AirborneBanditVersion: 5.23.3133
Kinda buggy and hard to use. Needs workLots of buttons, but it’s not clear what they do. Makes me unsure if I’m about to hang up the call or switch on my speaker.
When I switched out of the app to check a message, the video stopped working completely.
You can make calls..Alex e cVersion: 4.24.6865
Dial-in from app feature doesn’t workBug in recent update will not facilitate dial-in from app. This is needed to tie-together attendee audio from phone and video from PC. Now tethered to my PC and can’t switch seamlessly to dial-in if I need to leave my desk while remaining on the call. Two weeks and waiting for this bug fix..Moav5447Version: 4.39.8751
TerribleThis app is terrible. It signs me out without my knowledge. And does not allow me sign back it. It says my password is incorrect so I go to change it and then I go to sign in again and still says my password is wrong. So then I go to trouble shoot the problem and it does absolutely nothing. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever had. I give it NO STARS AT ALL. Thanks a lot..Jessicams9586Version: 4.30.8241
