User Reviews

Users praise Zulip's powerful platform and strong community support, finding it a solid alternative to Slack, especially on desktop. However, the Android app faces criticism for sluggish performance, navigation difficulties, frequent bugs, and missing features compared to desktop/web versions. Some users report connection issues and lack of support for self-hosted deployments and Google Play-free environments. Despite these drawbacks, the app is still valued for its productivity benefits and active development efforts.

Pros

Zulip platform is powerful, stable, and suitable for team communication, often compared favorably with Slack and other alternatives.
The app has a supportive developer community that is responsive to issues and communicates openly.
Customizable notification controls and integration options like bots and webhooks are valued features.
The desktop app and web interface are appreciated, with some users favoring the app overall.
The app is useful for productivity and daily use when it works well.

Cons

The Android app suffers from performance issues such as slow loading times, freezing, and buffering of messages.
The mobile app navigation is clumsy and unintuitive, with difficulties switching organizations and accessing messages quickly.
Frequent bugs and crashes occur, including white screens on startup and connection issues.
The app lacks key features found in the desktop/web versions, such as advanced settings, easy server switching, left panel navigation, message notifications in chat, and configuration options.
Poor support for self-hosted servers, outdated Docker images, and lack of support for use without Google Play Services were highlighted as concerns.

Recent reviews

This app is ugly and unwieldy. Your community better be reasonably knowledgeable in navigating obtuse systems because Zulip does not hold your hand. I really don't think this is ready for prime time unless you absolutely must have your own server at any cost.

The best one of free apps. Big need is notification in free version.

This app is the worst that is missing huge chunks of functionality from what the browser version has. it is horrible to navigate and try to type messages as the chat window constantly shoots up over the place you want to chat against. the ability to see the topics on a channel is horrible and clicky. literally spent about 5 hours setting this app up on my trueNas, thought it looked good, but then this app kills all home of using this as a replacement for slack. home nav MUST be always there.
