Chanty Reviews

For some reason on this update message threads can now only be read by a 1 inch window. Clearly this much be a glitch with another fix-update coming.

Chanty is often glitchy. Now it won’t open on my phone at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled it, made sure everything was up to date, etc. I tried contacting support in their chat and no one ever responded after several days.

For some reason if you’re listening to any type of audio and you open Chanty it switches the audio to as if you’re on a phone call. I’ve been told a few updates ago that they would fix it but still blaring out my ears. Our company had too many complaints so we decided to switch to another company.

Chanty is constantly giving notification badges despite them all being read.
It almost never scrolls the thread down when you or a teammate send a new message, leading to missed messages as you talk.
Sometimes it requires a reboot to see your sent messages if too many are sent in a row.
The whole app is very slow to load.

These issues persist, granted less so, in the desktop app.

The features are amazing but please fix the bugs.

Looking for a Slack competitor that is completely free for small teams, has all of the basic chat functionality , and most importantly retains all of your data? You found the right place.

It definitely lacks the breadth of feature Slack supports. And it occasionally has some bugs, mostly on mobile apps. But it’s the only free hosted service that doesn’t delete data that I am aware of.

For free.

Great alternative to slack

My only request is that for the mobile app, exiting a png file window is fixed. Right now tapping the x on an iPhone 11 does not work. Sometimes I have to tap multiple times or quit Chanty .

Also, seems that holding on a chat message to react isn’t that fluid.

I'm not sure why Chanty would be given a 1 star...
Chanty is meant for small teams and I've been using it with a few buddies to manage a 90 day challenge.
It works better than Facebook chat because you can have different conversations about a topic, so you can divide the topic on a specific activity you want to discuss.
The tasks are still a little confusing to me, those need some work.
The option to have one on one chat, private and public group chats is great too. Just need to make the public chats easier to be found, or automatically add all users. For private chats it would be nice if only the organizer can add new people, this would avoid privacy issues if another person invites a team member who should not be there.

Also, I'd be willing to switch to paid version if it was just one fee per organizer and not per user.
Maybe like $1.99 per month to bring up to 20 people, and $2.99 up to 30 people or something like that.

Keep it up!

PS. Better yet if the Windows version would be on the MS store! But I'm happy at least there is an actual Windows version.

Its a good app! Beautifully made, however I do often have trouble opening video files, and another friend of mine that uses this app reports the same. It turns into mp4 files and while it is mostly an inconvenience, often the videos are just short videos for laughs. Just a slight ick, is a great app though!! 11/10

I’ve been looking for a app that I can organize, save, and share the things I learned or to learn. Every other app out there comes with so many more features that I don’t need. This is simple and keeps to the basics which is easy for me to share my info with my team, family, and friends.

There isn’t neat enough reviews for Chanty. I’m currently moving from slack over to this app and won’t ever go back!! Easy to use, love the to do list, and very user friendly!!!

Would love to see webhooks for custom integrations, but otherwise great.

User-friendly
