Keybase Android users praise its strong encryption, privacy focus, and consistent cross-platform experience. However, many report severe performance and stability problems like crashes, freezing, and buggy input behavior. The app's user interface and mobile feature set are considered lacking, with complaints about video playback, file handling, and confusing interactions. Following acquisition by Zoom, users feel the app is neglected without adequate maintenance or improvements, severely impacting usability, especially for team collaboration and secure communication purposes.

Poor user interface and user experience making navigation and functionality confusing and frustrating.
Neglect and abandonment by developers after acquisition, leading to lack of updates and bug fixes.
