Review summary

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.

2026-04-21	Br*****	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.

2025-12-20	El*****	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.

2025-10-02	Ph*****	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.

2024-11-30	fy*****	honestly the features on this app are amazing but, the amount of spam and bullying that goes on is astounding. I have been on a lot of apps for the blind. This one has been one of the most toxic ones. I encourage others to stay away if you don't wanna deal with a bucket load of drama. I encourage others to come forward if they have been bullied on this application.

2023-05-12	Go*****	This is a good little app. I use it to hang out with my friends on TeamTalk and hang out. I've been using it since 2021. The thing I would suggest is to be able to view and share files on the iOS app. There's already a ability to do this on windows. other than that the app is great.

2021-08-21	We*****	I must say Teamtalk is a little odd, but it’s always stuck in my mind because of how good the audio is. It’s like you’re in the same room as the other person. It blows away Discord, Skype, Signal and even Facetime which I used to consider as having one of the best audio qualities.

2020-08-18	Th*****	The connection keeps dropping on mobile. It’s not the server, because when I do it on the computer, with version 5.4.0, it’s fine. Please update to fix this problem. Also, I would like the ability to add user accounts from mobile if you are an admin on the server. Also to edit your server properties from mobile would be nice. Also, the connection on the newest version on PC and Mac, which I believe is version 5.6, keeps dropping. Please also fix this.
