File sharing.Team collaboration.
Flock has a mobile application that I use on my iPhone on a daily basis. It makes it easy to manage projects and advance team collaboration in one place.
Unfortunately, mobile application cannot function in absence of internet connection.It requires to be integrated with external apps to enhance video conferencing.

Its very user friendly, as the person can access the messages over mobile phone. Hence, we can reach out to the team 24*7. The survey/poll option helps in deciding the things with people's consent.
It can be used over mobile phone as well as desktop The survey/ poll options Better availability of icons & emojis
At times the messages do not pop-up Takes longer duration to start the application It should have a mandatory field to specify the team which the member is representing

Flock has enabled me to share large files online, boost productivity via team collaboration and instant messaging.
Instant messaging and live chat are among the best features that Flock allocates on mobile and cloud apps.
To enhance video conferencing, it requires to integrate Flock with external web conferencing Apps such as Veeting Rooms and BlueJeans Meetings.

Overall I like the features available and think there is plenty of different tools and features that are helpful for teams.
Being able to search through posts is EXTREMELY helpful. I don't really understand why this isn't a standard feature in other team messaging apps
Polls limit you to select an expiry time from a pre-selected menu of 1 hr, 2 hrs, 3 hrs, etc. That makes it difficult when it's 8:18am and you want it to end at 5pm. You have to either select 418pm, or 518pm. Not useful.

Wonderful. I use flock on my phone and iPad and computer and they all work perfectly.
I love how easy it is to use for a company. You can add members who work there and take away once that leave the company easily. It helps with productivity as I do not need to get up and go down the hall to ask a coworker a questions. I can just Flock it to them.
The BOLD and ITALIC features don't work that well and there is no auto-correct or auto capitalization for the I in the program. The system could use a few upgrades in that sense. But, that is my only complaint as everything else is great.

Overall, not a bad experience. Flock is still being used daily on our team.
My most preferred feature was the Real Tine Chat and file sharing option. While there are other softwares out there that offer these same features, Flock was easy for most team members to deploy and use. Very little hassle and it was not unnecessarily complicated.
For MAC users that primarily use Safari as their main browser, Flock didn’t work as well. So we had to resort to downloading Google Chrome to facilitate use. Additionally, there was no voice message feature available in most chats which limited our ability to respond timely to queries that may require an explanation. Workaround was the call or video conference feature.

Business instant messaging and live chat.Team collaboration.File sharing.
Flock gives me the ability to send large files online, create unlimited communication channels and team collaboration.
Mobile application works perfect for me, but it lack video conferencing capability although it has a robust backend integration capability.

The flock platform is being the most used in the company where I work in this pandemic period, mainly due to the integration with google analytics, drive, calendar, among other platforms that we used before that period.
What I liked most about the software was the possibility of integration with google analytics, in the company where I work we use analytics a lot and the integration with it was fundamental in choosing the software, in addition to the integration with other software. As a result, many meetings are held only on the flock, without using other, better known platforms.
I didn't find the platform as easy to use as other competitors, but the integration is still unbeatable, which makes us continue to use the flock.

Every time I need to talk to my reporting head or team leader, I can point them on flock instead of having to go to their desk or can send files to them if needed very easily.
Flock offers a platform for communication that seems basic but has so many functionalities built into it. You can send documents, media, emojis, texts or share a to do list. For those who don't like to go through the painful experience of sending mails for official purposes, flock is the platform that helps the communication flow smoothly between the employees and employers.
Recently there's a limit added to the number of messages a free account can have and the old messages get deleted every time you get a new message. This means unintended loss of data for those who are using it.

It's good and if we miss any alerts also we get a mail every morning and this helps a lot to check for any missed ones
Alerts that get triggered , for example in our organisation we configured for a P0/P1 issue and as soon as ticket is created alerts gets triggered that helps us a lot to meet SLAs
Screen sharing feature and ease of integration with external tools to be more simplified

I replaced Swit with Flock since it has robust features. It allows me to create unlimited communication channels under one roof.

Would happily use it.
Ease of usage and dependability. Availability across Android, iOS, and Windows.
Search and other apps. Apps are not dependable and UX also not favourable. 3rd party apps and integrations are non-existent.

We love the ability to chat/group chat, upload links and share notes with each other. Our company is spread out over a few states, so to have the ability to chat with everyone is very important to us.
For us, there are no cons to the product. It does everything we need and more.

Team communication is improved alot.
Flock helped us to communicates between our team alot. I'm using this for last few years and its features are improving day by day. Earlier we used it within in a team of around 250+ members are using it.Good Job team.
I feel that they need to improve the user interface. Current interface is looks good but need to add more features and make it as a colorful one.

Since it is free to use/us, we don't have many complaints.
It helps us not use WhatsApp or Trello at work.
There are several desirables. One, it is not clear AFTER 4 years of use, how one comes on board. Two, unread messages are not clearly marked out. Three, navigation is still not smooth between integrated apps. And some more. Ideally, it should replace JIRA too.

I wouldn't be able to do my job fully without it.
Connectivity with the features. I like the fact that I can add all sorts of files and that it notifies me by not being green if my messages have been reviewed. Also, the typing updates are good. I like the drawer and the statuses and Polls. The to-do lists and reminders are great!
I couldn't delete a created channel within my work network; message said to contact the Admin. I just created one for a group of co-workers and now I couldn't delete it. Who knows if it was a bug. I will try later. What can I say the only thing I haven't been able to do out of all my daily tasks it works for all the inter-office communication I need.

It helped my company to grow by allowing us to communicate easily.
I like it's very user-friendly interface. The app is very straightforward when it comes to its features.
What I like least about this app is that the admins cannot change the team members' information. Having to change the members' details will requires complicated steps. I hope we can give more power to the admins.

Switching to Flock from Whatsapp within a team organization was a very good call. Flock allows for better cross-communication between committees and has more necessary features to stay on top of things.
The organization and break-up of different groups within one overall team is very useful for communication. This allows for the limit of spam in one big group chat and helps with pass down of information. The to-do functions, shared notes and reminders are very useful for staying on top of tasks and deadlines.
The video conference will frequently cut off when in calls.

This app is built-in with instant messaging and to-do-lists, making a feature that has helped our team communicate and keep track of regular stuff to be done all through this single app.
Maintaining regular communication with a team member from anywhere is more comfortable with Flock, and interestingly this app can also be used for creating and maintaining regular to-do-lists
Its user interface looks too much congested with too many pieces of information, icons, controls, and options, which might be quite confusing for new users.
