After the last update the app shows all contacts as offline Chat is now unavailable and worthless Please fix     No chat since last update Randomname073015
Don t get me wrong I absolutely am a huge fan of IBM but this app os horrible It is constantly crashing app dose one thing when you tell it do do something ells has a mind of its own I communicate with a co workers around the globe and many times we resort to using whatApp because one of us can t seem to show the other user we are online And if you are not online it won t let you send a message Also when you type the keypad takes up 50 of the screen 10 to let you know they are typing and 10 their name leaves what feels like 30 of chat room IBM seriously need to spend more time on app development I would say this is the IBM BUGGED UP APP     Horrible IBM Connections user
My friends who have older devices are still able to use this app which hasn t had the name changed from Sametime but I m running the application with the same proxy and port as they are and getting bad results It imports new cut group names but doesn t delete old ones It disconnects my connection on other devices and shows me as available but doesn t show any other users as being online and doesn t send me the messages they type     Doesn t work on iPhone 6 NorthWest1620
When are you going to release a version that does not logout after just a few minutes but instead respects the Remain Online setting     Fix background logout Thekidisgray

For those leaving poor reviews I can t help but think you re trying this on your own with no knowledge of what server port etc that you need You may also need to VPN into your corporate network to access your Sametime servers You need to ask your IT administrator for the appropriate settings etc if you expect it to work at all The app works great as a secure real time communication tool It is consistently updated and improved which is great No complaints once you get past the initial setup                     Works great bu11frogg2

Nice app that gives you all key chat features of Samtime However the app session does not run in background As soon as I minimize the app the session dies and needs re login weird             App session does not run in background schepuri

Works great Couldn t do my job without it                     Great app Llkandme21
IBM always does the absolute minimum when it comes to writing code Their public software offerings are bottom of the barrel Lotus Notes Sametime etc are shinning examples I don t know if the company isn t paying their employees competitive salaries or leadership just doesn t care Probably both     A Pre Schooler Could Write Better Code Sailin' Shoes
Overall it works well I wish the IBM Connections team would take ownership of this Sametime app and redo the interface Network Admins Remember that you must add the Sametime Proxy server and use proper firewall settings                 Server Beau233
Da un error de inicio de sesi n y no permite conectarse     Error 404 pimperawi
Needs an update to the iOS 7 SDK It would also be nice to be able to set alerts for when people become available as you can do in the Notes integrated version Crashes on launch occasionally             Could use some polish Zeroes
I haven t been able to Logon to this app since I ve downloaded I have looked everywhere for good instructions but haven t found anything yet Not intuitive at all     Can t Logon Usermikeyujo
Sametime is not organizing messages by time They come in and are placed in random order New messages get randomly placed at the top bottom or middle of a conversation making it impossible to keep track of a discussion         New version has serious problems CarKollector
The app works for the most part but why is it so dated                 Where s the iOS 7 interface DLeM
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         Works but lots of bugs rajrecw
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     Doesn t support background mode Swatcat_Zerg
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         Functionality needs work Itworxbro
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     Under featured Christopher Clark
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                     Well Done Richard Wessels
Good looking new UI Big problem though it crashes after 20 sec     Ipad new version Fred3677
It worked well until I updated it for iOS 7 changes Cannot use this app now     Crashing Athhfk
crash report submitted to heyibm Using iPhone 5s     Crashes every time I open a received chat ssayler
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     Terrible App Rhoadesco
Works great                 Good app inappworld
It logs me out every time my screen hibernates Talked to my IT department and no fix in sight Make this app worthless     Horrible App Projectnwork
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         Logs Me Off Caddog
Great app only thing that isn t quite right is sub groups just doesn t work unless I m missing something                 Great app missing one thing DigitalSix

After the last update the app shows all contacts as offline Chat is now unavailable and worthless Please fix     No chat since last update
Biggest gripe app crashes which shouldnt happen in the first place cause total loss of chat history and contact favorites list Unacceptable        Great when it works far from perfect
Other apps like Xime QuipIM connect but IBM Sametime app wont Not fit for the ease of use mobile age     doesnt connect

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        Notifications

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     You expected more New version still lousy
Could not log in at all Please fix           Could not log in
