IBM Connections Chat App Reviews

This new update is great. Supports SmartCloud for Social Business mobile instant messaging.

Doesnt connect to server. So much potential to increase collaboration. Quipim connects so the possibility is there.

The purpose of downloading the app was to be able to stay in touch with colleagues on the go, yet if you dont have the app open you dont receive messages. You cant let your phone go into lock mode or you miss things. Seems pointless.

Client does not connect. Fail. One star because zero is not an option.

Biggest gripe: app crashes (which shouldnt happen in the first place) cause total loss of chat history and contact favorites list. Unacceptable.

Do you really expect more than mediocre from lousynotes? Remember lousynotes is an piece of software that redefines he term "works" to mean something administrators like and users dont ... Dont contaminate your modern device with an app that connects it to this relic. Cant wait for the day my company finally tosses this horrible application to the curb.

I guess youre retaining the credentials and settings even after the app is deleted...so i guess users, make sure you remove the settings before deleting the app..especially if youre using a corporate phone..

I have tried every possible way to get connected to my corporate account through this, but no luck yet. But quipIM app works fine for me. 1 star because 0 is not an option.

Great app.....only thing that isnt quite right is sub groups, just doesnt work....unless Im missing something

I keep getting logged off after 10 mins or so. When I go back and log back in the app times out. I have to kill the app then restart it. Such a headache.

It logs me out every time my screen hibernates. Talked to my IT department and no fix in sight. Make this app worthless.

What a terrible app. It connects and allows IM as it should but if your iPad sleeps while you are connected then you are done. When you wake it, the app attempts to reconnect forever and cannot be stopped. The iPad has to be rebooted. So as long as you have a quick chat session and you disconnect before your iPad sleeps, you can probably make it work….

crash report submitted to heyibm. Using iPhone 5s.

It worked well until I updated it for iOS 7 changes. Cannot use this app now.

Good looking new UI. ****Big problem though.....it crashes after 20 sec ****

The 9.0.1 release of the iOS app fixed the contacts issue. It now appears to work perfectly.. I am so very glad that IBM took the bug reports seriously and resolved the issue quickly. Many thanks... My faith is restored.

This app does not utilize the apple notification feature, corporate devices have fairly short lock out times.... App is not useful unless you are notified that someone has sent u a message! While iPhone is locked, fix this for a 5 star rating

The app works perfectly fine up until the phone is locked. Once locked, Sametime disconnects and you have to exit the app and re-open to connect again. Basically defeats the purpose of having an away status available.

I find it useful if you want to send a message, but as soon as you switch to any app, you are no longer able to receive messages until you open it again. Also, if you do not change the configuration about the time you remain online, someone might send you a message, but you will never receive it UNLESS you open the app. Messages sent are not visible when you log in to your computer.

The app works perfectly fine: Allows to login n perform the activities intended to. But there the app is not complete yet..here is what I found should be fixed for better usability: 1. Logs out when app is in background... Ex: while working on sametime if another app is opened, the user logs out n everytime app is opened, user needs to login. The only workaround is that user creds can be save to allow auto login... 2. The chat history gets skewed and chat history is not readable. Sometimes it looks as if the chat history is displayed as latest on top (not the conventional view) but this is not true as the following chat displays latest chat at bottom..making it skewed. 3. The notification is not user friendly... Instead of showing short ID, it would be better to display the full name. The message notification on notification center can show a bit of some message unless it is ok from enterprise regulations
