Simple UI but super clunky and unreliable at times. Drops out and glitches consistently since the last big update in early 2020. Kicks users out of private subgroups when the main channel is opened. Needs major improvement all around. Not sure how their client retention will go at this rate, because frankly it's not reliable when you need it.

I didn't this it was possible for this app to get worse, between the clunky ui, the constant demand for permissions not necessary or the complete hijacking of my device blocking incoming and outgoing calls and constantly forcing itself to open and be in the foreground, but after this latest update all the audio comes in echoed and choppy. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS

I'd love to see a Google Wear & Samsung Wearable companion app for using app functions on smart watches, etc. Also, WIDGETS! I'm not usually a fan of drawn over widgets on my screen, but having a PTT button that can float & move anywhere on the screen would make for much easier usage, especially with larger screened devices (using ESChat on Galaxy Note 10+5G). It'd also be nice to see more user friendly audio options in the menu, like options to turn off audio focusing or ignore audio focusing.
