Guilded - community chat

Editing my initial review from 3 stars to 2 stars. After bringing up multiple bugs with editing messages, tons of performance issues, and several features missing from desktop for over a year now with next to no change, I'm removing a star from my review. While Guilded as a platform is incredibly promising and I would love to see it thrive, the way the mobile app is handled has been incredibly frustrating for me. I desperately hope that more work is put into it in the future.

Guilded has been great for connecting our community. My level of technical knowledge is below average, but I am able to navigate well enough to use this app. Overall the app is great; however, it is a little glitchy. The voice lobby has the most glitches. The most common is "roboting" when connectivity seems poor. I have lost my "push to talk" button several times. That is cured by going out and coming back in. No big deal. Rarely, a person loses their 'voive", fixed by going out & back.

There appears to be a memory leak style issue. The app hangs and freezes up when you type more than 30 characters. Sometimes, if you wait, it clears itself up so you can post. Most times, I have to close the app and then send my post in multiple parts. The only reason I am giving 2 stars is that it is a viable option to Discord. Just be mindful that the app sucks and needs some serious overhauling.

I know it's still a working progress but. I feel like the images/videos need a bit of work. Having to use recent part to look through the gallery of images when you're trying to find the right image can take a while when the album part is rather limited on the images if it's not in there. Overall, love the app and it's been fun watching it grow. ^^

Love the app but it's super glitchy. When writing messages you have to write them in another app because it butchers everything you type and scrambles and mixes the letters together. It doesn't even delete things properly. Sometimes I have to get on the computer and go straight to the website to perform some actions. I know it's in beta but I've never encountered problems like this in a beta version of anything. It's so frustrating.

A lot better than Discord! It's a bit confusing and I'm not sure if I can swear in my own servers or not, and I'm a liiittle bit concerned other people might be able to see my private servers, but I just joined so my opinion may change. Overall a great app! ^^ Loving it so far! Oh, also the GIFs take forever to load when searching but that's fine. I also wish it had a search message option so I can find messages easier. Great app, though! ^^

Leaving it at 4 stars for now since I only recently started using it, but my impressions so far are good. I know everyone wants to say "it's Discord but better/worse (depending on your opinions of the platform)" and they're not wrong in comparing the two, but I think we should just look at it for what it is: a platform that creates chatting rooms and servers with multiple unique functions, and even some interesting customization options for your servers and even just your profile. Very good.

A fantastic community oriented chat app. I do, however, wish that I could fine tune the notifications just a bit more; like being able to still recieve notifications from a certain channel, but silently while still getting sound notifications from other channels. I found some channels to be very chatty and while I like keeping up with them, I would rather not hear the notification sound come from it so often and keep that for things like announcements.

I've had the app for over a year now and I absolutely love it-- even if I'm not on it all the time. A couple things to address: could yall find a way for it to be less laggy and maybe upscale the emotes for them to be a bit bigger? It gave me a few issues as I couldn't see them too well. That would help so much more. Thank you for a lovely app!

This is a really great app! However, due to limited features and overall performance issues, this is getting 4 stars. I know y'all might be working on the issues, but at least try to make it more stable. (nicknames resetting to previous, text not loading in time when typing a message, etc.) I hope these issues will be resolved in the nearest future. If that happens then I'll update this to 5 stars.

There are many possible ways to improve the site so it doesn't seem like a carbon copy of Discord. I'll list some ideas I've had as follows. This is in no way a negative review. -Mobile is full of holes the desktop version has filled. -Customisable background color and text color maybe? -bug note: On first download sometimes profile pictures don't work. Happened to me. -Mobile interface is very confusing at first not gonna lie -Server tutorial is laid out in a weird way.

Basically, it's discord. It has threads, and tournament stuel stuff, and forums, and docs, and a whole slew of features that make organization way easier. Did I mention the sub servers? Basically servers within servers, amazingly useful. My only problem is that it is, on occasion, glitchy or slow. I expect this to change within due time, and have high hopes for Guilded.

Discord has some serious competition!! The ONLY reason why I'm not giving it 5 stars is because the mobile version of this platform has very limited features available. If I could do more on Mobile to that of the PC program of this, I would 100% give it 5 stars. Heck, I'd give it 10 stars if I could. Features like accessing the widgets or other things like that. Make those available on mobile and I'll change my rating in a heartbeat.

The mobile version needs help with text entry, badly. For a key function of the app, text entry with the mobile app doesn't keep the text in line with typing. Frequently I can't see what I'm actually typing because the cursor is lines above. It would also be nice to be able to see the text I'm responding to instead of just my text box. This is a huge failure on the developer's part because typing is literally half of what the app is for. Please fix it.

Amazing app! So easy to use and easy to make friends on! It's not as popular as discord so it's harder to find toxicity! I've been using it for a little over a year. There are a few things that I hope get fixed though... I can't send images that are in my phones gallery (I use mobile), I can only send images and videos that were recently added to my phone... Also I wish that Guilded was more compatible with mobile. I can't add emotes or edit servers at all on my phone! Please fix?

I already like Guilded a lot more than Discord just for having all the Nitro features for free. The desktop version is fantastic. However, the mobile version, like some reviewers have pointed out, can't seem to have the text entry keep up with the cursor. This gets really annoying trying to proof read what you typed and cannot put the text cursor where you want to type. I'm hoping the dev team fixes this major flaw, and they seem really good at responding to feedback.

This works similarly to Discord, so if you've experience with that app, this should be easier to learn to use. Some things could use adjustment or improvement, but overall, there are no in-app ads that I know of, most (if not all) features seem to be free to use and I feel like I've quickly learned the gist of the app in a few hours. Admittedly, I've set up most things using the PC version, but I'd say it's a pretty good replacement for Discord.
