User Reviews

Users praise TeamTalk 5 for its exceptional audio quality (stereo, Opus) and the ability to self‑host a highly customizable, free server. However, multiple reviews report recurring issues with echo when not using headphones on iOS and unstable mobile connectivity, plus several iOS feature gaps (file sharing, webcam/admin controls). Overall, strong audio and flexibility contrasted with reliability and mobile parity concerns.

Pros

Outstanding audio quality with stereo support and high‑quality Opus compression, often praised as superior to several popular apps.
Ability to host your own server with extensive customization; the server can be run freely on Linux/Windows/macOS, offering a powerful, cost‑free solution.
Cross‑platform voice chat capabilities with features like headset‑controlled push‑to‑talk and join/leave spoken alerts, contributing to a rich user experience.

Cons

Echo/feedback when speaking without headphones on iOS (especially on newer iOS/iPadOS versions).
Mobile/overall connectivity drops and unstable connections on some devices/versions, including cellular data issues.
Feature gaps on iOS such as limited or inconsistent file sharing and lack of certain webcam/administrative controls on mobile.

OVERALL the app is great. The one problem that I have is that I cannot use Voice Preprocessing properly on devices running iOS and iPadOS 26. This feature is highly useful if I want to use TeamTalk without using headphones. The Voice Preprocessing feature still works as expected on devices running iOS and iPadOS 18 and earlier. I know it is not Apple's fault as none of the other applications that I use have this problem. The fact that this problem has not been addressed makes me think that the developer is lazy and does not want to take the time to implement Apple's new callkit standards.

When I first got the app after a while, I believe I didn’t have to use headphones in order to talk on it, which is useful for me because my ears clogged really easily and wearing headphones is not always good for me, but now whenever I don’t use my headphones it causes a really bad echoing problem and from what I know there’s no way to get around it. Hoping this can get fixed the next time the app is updated. That way it makes it easier for everyone.

Being able to host your own server for it is so incredibly good, and the amount of customizability this app has is insane. Although I will say, the more customizable an app is, the harder it is for people who don’t understand those options. But I would much prefer a really good app with a steeper learning curve than a mediocre app thats easy.
