Excellent application to use on all devices and communicate with team effectively.
It helps making communication easier & more reliable between teams, especially teams who are working remotely.
Screen sharing and video calling features can be included within the app (rather than using an external link).

WITH A GAZILLION EMAILS AND PEOPLE WORKING ALL AROUND THE CONTINENT, FLOCK PROVIDES A SOLUTION WE NEVER COULD GET WITH EMAIL
I LOVE THE INSTANT COMMUNICATION, THE CHROME PLUGIN FUNCTIONALITY AND THE ABILITY TO SET UP MULTI-PERSON CHATS.
I THINK THERE'S A LOT OF FEATURES THAT I DON'T USE BEYOND MESSAGING.

LOVE Flock and how it has helped bring our team together.
Flock is a super easy chat platform. It can organize the threads per user with a targeted reply or to the whole group. It is very mobile friendly as well so your messaging can be viewed anywhere. It is easier to use than texting since it is web-based and not dependent on cell signal.
I wish there were more emoji's and funny things to add to posts

We've tried Skype as our team communication app, it was good, but faced with advertisements, and we kept on receiving spam from hacked accounts, no integration as well so Flock is a better option. 1. 5 integrations in Flock for their free plan. 2. Group video calls. 3. Affordable than its competitor.
I like Skype's new redesign better than Flock's current UI. Their interface a bit too complicated for us. A little bit slow.

Has helped us a bunch with communication.
Very easy to use and for all of us in this office to stay connected without having to get up from our desks or call to ask or question or share something with the team.
We like every feature of Flock and cannot think of anything to change.

I would totally use this again. It cuts down on the number of emails or phone calls I get with the "little things" that need to be addressed.
I like that it is an instant message that allows me to tell coworkers if they have a call on hold, or ask them a quick question - without bogging down emails.
It was a little tough at first to figure out how to add people or create groups

I love it when it comes to our business, it is easier to use like any other tools
Well the most impactful for me is that it allows my team to instantly send messages and files while doing our job, it is the best way to let us meet our colleagues
the least I like and the one that needs to improve is that some files are not instantly available and some times missing, but that is not problematic at all since it does not happen all the time

We use it to track our daily meeting minutes and to communicate with the team to keep everyone up to date.
It is easy to use on desktop and mobile devices. Notifications keep everyone in touch with whats going on.
For our present use. Nothing. We are happy with what it does.

I like how easy it is to use Flock, regardless of where you are geographically. They have an app that makes communication simple. File sharing is instant and easy.
Nothing i'd change! I love using Flock and would absolutely recommend it.

Easy to use, easy communication tool for in house and in the field.
I can check in on employees on the other side of the building without complete interruption of their day.
Tough to get all employees to use it the same way.

It is much better than using a Facebook group but can still use some improvements
I liked how you can have groups and save data in the group, share specific pictures
It’s not the easiest to use I find it a bit confusing even with tutorials

I am a very satisfied customer. I feel I was provided with accurate information throughout the app so I could make an educated decision with my insurance options & finances. I hope we use Flock with our open enrollment every year!
It's super user friendly! I love how it breaks down the price & has a description for all items available.
Needs more of an explanation on the life insurance portion. Lots of questions that I had to call & ask for ehlp with, but that really wasn't an issue.

I like most is that I have all the groups that I am in and i can check everything on one site. So when I have a little time I can catch up on the things I missed in my groups.
I haven't found anything that I don't like.

I think the main thing that it is benefiting is our overall communication skills within the office.
I like that it is an easy way to communicate within the office for quick reminders, or letting someone know if you'll be out of office.
The main thing I would say is that there are still some bugs that still need to be worked out such as messages being sent later when the user didnt mean for them to.

Instant Memo's for the office help ease the strain on our email inbox.

It is great to have multiple channels to communicate with the team. Not everyone needs to be on every communication, we have multiple channels set up to talk about work, updates, important information as well as non-work channels to discuss ideas, food, and what everyone is up to outside of work.
Multiple channels, easy to use and the ability to drop links, word docs, excel spreadsheets.
Haven't found anything that I haven't liked yet.

Overall it is good
It is overall a good software to use, the chat is great and intuitive. I also like the integration of flock with other software.
There are plenty of things which needs to be available, file sharing is the biggest problem of all, every other software like flock give their user freehand on file-sharing take slack and connecteam

- Claimed to be lightweight, and UI colours feels good. - Lots of features that have deep functionalities
- UI is bit messed up - Same UI as slack, but it loads bit slower. - Adding lot more functionality is not done right.

Overall Flock is a good option for messy teams and helps keep everyone on track and rowing the boat in the same direction
Flock makes it super simple to get everyone on one page with centralized team communications. Similar to Slack but with a neater interface in my opinion.
Flock is pretty feature rich, but some of the integrations can be a little clunky and less than seamless.

Communication with peers even when they are out of office
Compatibility with mobile and very handy to use
This applications in the laptop starts when you switch on your laptop and which takes time to load making whole process slow
