User Reviews

Users appreciate Rocket.Chat Experimental for its open source flexibility, active development, and feature-rich design that support team communication across devices. However, multiple reviews highlight persistent stability problems including crashes and connection issues, especially on mobile data. Notification delivery and UI bugs disrupt usability, while performance is sometimes sluggish. Key missing features compared to desktop versions affect overall experience. Despite these drawbacks, the app is seen as improving steadily and favored over the main app by some users due to better fundamental functionality.

Pros

Open source nature allowing customization and self-hosting of private servers.
Continuous improvement and regular updates addressing issues and adding features.
Good range of features making it a versatile platform beyond just a mobile chat app.
Some users find it more stable and usable compared to the main Rocket.Chat app.
Push notifications improve communication for teams using the app.

Cons

Frequent crashes and app instability, especially when receiving messages or after updates.
Connectivity issues, particularly failure to connect on mobile data (4G) and problems with server URL recognition.
Notification lag and flakiness, with some bugs in notification delivery and syncing.
Interface and usability bugs like messages not rendering properly, input issues with keyboard and send button, and unread message indicators not clearing as expected.
Performance issues including lagging, slow loading, and freezing at times.
Feature gaps compared to desktop/browser clients such as no message search, lack of dark mode, no syncing of old messages, and poor handling of media attachments.

Cannot connect to Mobile Data when there's no wifi to connect. It kept saying "Connecting..." and never actually connected if I'm using 4G instead of wifi network.

The main rocket chat app hangs a few seconds after launch and is unusable - it's been like that for a while now. Thought I'd give this version a go instead. No hang anymore, but it crashes every time I receive a message. Very frustrating.
