  1. [R2] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US The best communication app, especially if you are invested in the Zoho ecosystem.: After being on the Zoho One plan and invested in the entire Zoho ecosystem for almost eight years, we decided at the end of last year to switch to Slack and other applications. Slack is great, but what you lose is the integration, in particular, let's say, with Zoho Click across all the apps that you work with. For
  2. [R15] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US Much Better than Slack: Does the job and more. Call handoff is smooth. Permissions are simple and granular.
  3. [R23] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US Great app for work communication: Multiple windows auto-open for multi-tasking. Threads are easily accessible. The only thing I noticed is sharing from another app using Cliq doesn’t work sometimes.
  4. [R30] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Unhelpfully simple: The app is too simple so you cannot do even basic tasks like: - format text - find a recent thread - mention a team
  5. [R7] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Super bad and useless app! Nothing is intuitive and is a hassle just to get it working!: You only get one shot to impress user and you’ve failed at it
  6. [R8] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US Great Tool: This app really helps employer and employees be able to communicate with each other efficiently and effectively, this really is a wonderful app .
  7. [R14] Zoho Cliq 2/5 · US Confusing: Loads oldest at top versus my experience with other apps. Cannot determine how to delete. I do not like Cliq.
  8. [R1] Zoho Cliq 2/5 · US Functionalities - Good, Security Implementation - Bad, Performance - SLOOW: Most functionalities are good and at par with comparable products. Security implementation, especially MFA is clunky and does not work well when on low bandwidth connection - eg airplane WiFi. Performance - Cliq on Mac shows blank screen on loading when on low bandwidth connection. Generally poor performance.
  9. [R3] Zoho Cliq 3/5 · US Please fix the bugs!: I use all zoho applications for my job and I love being able to use the apps on my phone as well, especially zoho Cliq. However recently I’m noticing it really needs to be fixed. The program slows my phone down entirely when it’s open, it also randomly crashes, and often has trouble keeping up with my pace of typing. Sometimes i press the backspace button and nothing happens.
  10. [R10] Zoho Cliq 2/5 · US Glitchy: Have to uninstall and reinstall frequently from both phone and computer. I am not the only one with this issue. Our company used Skype before it was discontinued and I didn’t think we could all collectively dislike anything less but then along came Cliq. I am not sure if we would like Teams any better but Cliq is not it.
  11. [R12] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Crashes when viewing pictures: No matter what device, especially iPads or tablets, while viewing multiple pictures on the app will crash and go to home page.
  12. [R17] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US Way surpassed expectations: I was strongly recommended this app by a friend to use for my startup tech company. I was very hesitant and reluctant as I had always used either Slack or Teams in the past. I was extremely surprised that I found that Cliq to be significantly nicer than Slack. It’s not as good as Teams obviously but it’s WAAAY less expensive which gives it the edge for me at least. High
  13. [R31] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US A good alternative to MS team: Amazingly good. It's also free to try for Organisations.
  14. [R58] Zoho Meeting 4/5 · US A good plan B: I’m slowly converting all my business apps to Zoho because of the overall quality and price point. However, there are a few issues that I want addressed to give it a 5 star rating. First, the icon for screen sharing has no mention of the fact that that is what it is for. The app says something about broadcasting rather than screen w. I found this out during a training I was leadi
  15. [R40] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Worst application ever. Frustrating!!!!: I’ve used it for weeks. Previously I’ve used slack. Cliq is too much buggy and UI/UX is a total mess. You can easily get lost in menus, threds are showing really bad. Even you may be mentioned some where and it won’t notify you some times! We’ve sent feedback to the team and they ignored and didn’t fix bugs. I hate this weak and frustrating app. Actually it
  16. [R44] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US iOS cliq app issues: Last time I gave 4, but this time 1 is enough. It seems no care about customers. Although we go through Zoho assist with Technical department & they assured me that next update will fix all addressed bugs, but new update came & no change. Congratulations; That’s the Zoho customer service without any attention!!
  17. [R50] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US Abusive Notifications: The developers never concede to any feedback regarding their inability to abide by their own notification settings and it is frankly quiet annoying. I have had issues with Cliq's notification settings and they are never willing to do anything about it. Example, I have it set to only send me a push notification on my phone only if there has been 10 minutes of inactivity on th
  18. [R60] Zoho Meeting 2/5 · US Screen sharing is still blurry: Screen share from ipad has been broken for several weeks. The other user can see my screen but it is blurry. Just used the latest release of the app today and the issue persists.
  19. [R25] Zoho Cliq 5/5 · US Works very well with the rest of Zoho suite: Very fast to send/receive compared to other big tech. Works seamlessly across platforms and feature rich.
  20. [R71] Zoho Meeting 3/5 · US Only 1 thing missing: This will be 5 stars as soon as I can schedule meetings from the app. I’m not always near my computer when I have to set something up in the future!
  21. [R108] Zoho Meeting 1/5 · US can’t schedule meetings from app: can’t schedule meetings from app.
  22. [R18] Zoho Cliq 1/5 · US App crashes immediately after update: I have been using Cliq for a while on my iPhone 6s (iOS 15.8.3), but after the latest update, the app crashes as soon as I try to open it. I tested it on another device, and the same issue occurred. Please look into this and provide a fix as soon as possible. I rely on this app for work, and it's currently unusable. Thank you!
  23. [R59] Zoho Meeting 3/5 · US Screen: I couldn’t see the teachers screen when he shared his screen…
  24. [R104] Zoho Meeting 1/5 · US It’s just bad, don’t bother: First experience, signed in, and watched the wheel turn and turn for minutes trying to join a meeting. After 10 minutes of struggle, it logged on and the presentation would not scroll through the slides. Stared at the first slide for 5 minutes of attempted scrolling. Then it jumped to slide 9 and stayed there. And any slide I looked at was blurry to the point that I co
