Review on Rivers by Jon Bishop

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good cross-platform communication tool

I really like the fact that I am able to chat with people all over the globe when it comes to text conversations. Sometimes, there's lag time so it takes a bit of getting used to when chatting with other individuals from different countries. At least the conversations stay focused, unlike other chat apps in which every new visitor ends up spamming you. There can be times where I receive a random notification but I have no idea whether this is an actual message or not. It was good until then. This app has been pretty useful as it lets me communicate with those who are in regions I'm not, at the same time, even if they are miles away. I like that it's very easy to use, has great features for both text and audio chats with multiple users at one time, and integrates nicely into Slack. It doesn't have as many advanced features as some other programs out there. There are better options if you're looking for more complex video chat software! We've been able to communicate effectively while also being able to keep our teams informed about what each person is working on.

Pros
  • Easy way through typing
  • Video call option available (not always reliable)
  • Can do group calls easily using your phone.
  • Integration between slack channels/teams etc
Cons
  • Not much variety beyond basic emojis
  • No 3D images
