UX Lead Design Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "An Excellent Team Communications and Utility Tool" September 19, 2018 5.0 Flock has quickly become a single hub for a lot of my daily work. Pros Prior to using Flock, our team was on slack which handled communications well. But what Flock brought to the table was more. In addition to the features that Slack has, Flock also has a calendar app, note taking app (which works with individuals, channels and myself, a feature which I really like), tasks app, drive app which I felt adds a lot of value to the product, and makes it a central hub for a lot of my daily activities. They have also recently added a feature that enables you to have repeated processes setup, bringing in automation into the platform. I think they're doing really well in the space that are in and hope they continue to keep innovating while keeping their users in mind. Cons They don't have enough integrations (like Invision). They also don't seem to have an easy way to export all data (Slack has this). A dark theme for Flock would be great.

Company wide channels to share information for all employees as well as focused channels to handle specific areas of the business make it the best solution for us. Pros It's easy for all level users in the company to communicate with. Great real-time solution to responding to client needs ASAP. Administration of the users and environment is simple. Excellent uptime - rare that the service is ever slow or unavailable. Support and dev team are on top of the product and updates. Cons Can be a challenge to manage multiple groups/channels. Would like a better way to keep channels and groups cleaned up and current. maybe a way to customize the interface for the company would be nice. Review Source Kathlene May D. Virtual Marketing Assistant Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "I love Flock the best way to communicate" December 15, 2021 5.0 I love it when it comes to our business, it is easier to use like any other tools Pros Well the most impactful for me is that it allows my team to instantly send messages and files while doing our job, it is the best way to let us meet our colleagues Cons the least I like and the one that needs to improve is that some files are not instantly available and some times missing, but that is not problematic at all since it does not happen all the time Review Source Carsten D. Director of User Experience Computer Software Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "The best Slack alternative, and I prefer it over Slack" November 3, 2018 5.0 Exceptional. While I'm not a huge believer in the importance of these chat products vs. those of the past, of the ones in the market today, Flock is my preferred chat tool. I've used Slack, Flock, Glip, and others. This one is easy to use, adds more features than Slack, and is far more stable and quality than Glip. Pros I never understood the hype around Slack. Marketed as an "e-mail killer," we all know that's true. There are still so many things it cannot do that email can do. Not to mention, it's just another internal chat tool. In fact, the only core differences between Slack and your typical enterprise grade chat client are silly emojis and power user abilities that 99% of your employees don't know how to use, and won't use. Flock, while generally speaking works the same way, at least adds some productivity concepts in the app. For example, in different channels and private chats, I can have working to-do lists with assignments and due dates. I can pin documents and files in a conversation or channel that are relevant to the conversation. Also, for some reason, things just feel cleaner in Flock. My entire team was confused why we switched at first, but those types of features were my reasons. And now they love it, no going back. Cons Not as many integrations as Slack. But not a deal breaker. Almost all the tools we use integrate. Review Source Eric A. Manager Music Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Leaves More to be Desired" January 20, 2020 3.0 We tried the paid version but we stick to the free version for what we need - it's really too much of a hassle to switch now Pros I like the user interface, it's clean and for the most part, works for what we need. Cons You can't DM multiple people, hard to manage a lot of different conversations which we need a lot in our organization. There's parts of the UX that is just clunky and annoying. I wish the chat would stay at the last viewed message, but it doesn't - so you're left scrolling up and figuring out where you left off.

Contributing Writer Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flock is a great tool for communication for a big team." June 9, 2018 4.0 Pros If you are familiar with Google Hangouts then the interface for this program will look very familiar on the mobile app. For basic functions such as communicating with a team or an individual team member, this app is nearly flawless. However, the app offers more such as polls and sending files. You can have different categories of discussion which makes the app organized. Cons The main issue I had with the app was sometimes it failed to notify me of new messages. Also, although the app offers many different features they are a bit difficult to use. For example, for making a poll I had to look around on Google how to do so because I couldn't figure it out on my own, and I consider myself a tech-savvy person. Review Source Ankit B. Research Analyst Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use internal team communication app." October 9, 2019 5.0 Replaces extensive conversations over email. It's best for regular day to day office conversations. Pros 1\. Easy to use just like whatsapp. 2. Can add gifs, emojis and other stickers 3. Useful features like reminders, in-app video and voice calling 4. Can use multiple accounts for signing in Cons 1\. Always have to add a code while logging into a new machine. 2. On mobile devices, the chat order seems to be little weird. Recent ones are on top and unread ones are at the bottom, don't know if it's a bug. There should be a separate tab to check unread messages/chat. Review Source SP Sonalisa P. UX Designer Financial Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Convenient and improving product!" December 4, 2020 5.0 Flock is a nice and easy-going communication platform and has made our lives easy in corporate communication and mostly during this remote working phase. Keep improving and bringing in new and cool features. Pros 1\. Easy to understand and operate 2. 'Read by' feature helps a lot. 3. The distinguishing red mark on mentions is a great experience. 4. The variety of stickers and emojis are great. Cons 1\. The DND feature can be better. 2. The reaction emojis can be more (please add more relevant ones like - facepalm, a simple smile, etc) 3. Provide notification tone changes in the app version of it. 4. The recent chants are lost whenever one makes a hard refresh. Please retrieve the chats back. 5. The search feature can be made efficient (add date-wise search and improve the current search) 6. When a file is pinned, please have a method to show the message on the chat as well. Review Source SK Shaumit K. Junior Finance Manager Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "It is a reasonably good platform to communicate with team. It is extremely fast and useful to use." June 26, 2018 4.0 Pros I really love to use flock as it is best place to explore new features. Its far better than Slack as if I wanted to find some pervious data, I can easily go for search option and tailor it out.. I really love the TO-DO feature that helps me to follow up with people for various things. I love the pinned chats feature, which helps me to notify important things to important people and get connect with them without a delay. I also like notes feature, which help me to write the important points during meeting. Its best use is to share the file without delay and saves me time and email. Also, when I am busy, I can update my status without any delay. Cons 1\. I would like to inform that there is no con for using flock, however, if some changes, that I have suggested, could be made then it would be more user-friendly. 1. I would suggest flock team to work on reactions of a particular message. For example, on a particular channel, I would like to say something funny or express my gratitude, if some one from the team likes my message, I would suggest few more emojis to be added to make it more happier to use it. 2. I would like to explore new features like, if possible to add, dictionary or recordings of audio. Review Source Peter P. LMS Adminstrator Human Resources Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Communication at its easy best......" February 11, 2019 5.0 Flock satisfies our office needs with respect to communication and also cuts down on email usage. Pros Flock is like many collaboration and messaging software made awesome. Since its inception in our workplace, We don’t have to email everything . This has resulted in minimal time waste. Flock also incorporates many apps with your work tasks such as a to-do list. We can also create reminders, polls and notes. File Sharing feature is very useful. You can also create multiple teams (similar to WhatsApp). That’s not all, you can share your screen with the video call facility available. Just go for it!!! Cons I noticed many updates are being received. If you update, you tend to lose your previously pinned conversations. Sometimes, you get a feeling that flock looks too cluttered. Current user interface can definitely be improved. Review Source MS Meredith S. Creative Producer Media Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Communication Game-changer" March 25, 2020 5.0 Pros Before Flock, we were relying on group texts and email chains. But as the company grew, group texts were becoming more unmanageable and confusing. I like that this keeps quick, business communications in one place. You can organize the channels easily. I also really like how smoothly Flock syncs with Dropbox. In our audio production field, we deal with a lot of big files. With Flock, you are able to send those files to a group to listen to easily, with quick loading time and with a smaller chance of the communication being lost like it would be on another email chain. Cons Sometimes I find myself missing notifications from Flock. I'm not sure if I just haven't fine-tuned my notification settings. But occasionally, I'll click on Flock and realize I didn't seem to see a slew of messages. Reason for choosing Flock We chose Flock over Slack based on some of the reviews we read. I have used Slack too. I find Flock more user-friendly, intuitive and I think the interface is cleaner. Overall, I prefer Flock for these reasons. Review Source Gretchen A. Local Committee Vice President International Affairs Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Gather Your "Flock" using Flock!" August 21, 2019 4.0 In AIESEC in the Philippines, we use this in our work since we believe in its functionality and organizing capacities. I do not forget the appointments that I set since Flock always remind me on when this activity will happen Pros In flock, you can easily incorporate and synchronized the necessary details in your company. When scheduling a meeting with your co-worker, Flock will automatically notify you of that certain meeting. In my case, Flock automatically saves the essential contacts that you need in order to work. This is a really helpful since I do not have to do it manually. Most importantly, I like the feature wherein the user can suggest the content that they want to see in the app that makes it inclusive to everyone. Cons What I do not like about this software is its design since it is not user-friendly. For me, the design can be further improve by using modern styles and aesthetics in order to enhance the functionality of the software. Sometimes, the software also lags and hangs which causes the users to be disinterested or not use the app anymore. If this will be improved, I believe that more people will utilize this app for their businesses since it is really helpful. Review Source Devansh P. Data Scientist Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Flock review" December 4, 2020 5.0 Flock is a good app, and really useful for team communications. Definitely use it on a day-to-day basis, and is a part of my workflow. Pros One of the things I love about flock is the code sharing and note sharing features, extremely useful. As well as the integration with other platform apps like Google, zoom, etc. And the edit message button is a godsend. Cons I really wish there wasn't such a delay in getting notifications on the mobile apps. Also that once a user leaves the platform, their chat history shouldn't be deleted. AT least we should get an option to export it or something.

Pros Flock offers a platform for communication that seems basic but has so many functionalities built into it. You can send documents, media, emojis, texts or share a to do list. For those who don't like to go through the painful experience of sending mails for official purposes, flock is the platform that helps the communication flow smoothly between the employees and employers. Cons Recently there's a limit added to the number of messages a free account can have and the old messages get deleted every time you get a new message. This means unintended loss of data for those who are using it. Review Source EB Ewa B. Marketing Team Lead Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "What I Know bout Flock" April 10, 2024 4.0 Pros How it combines online project management and BIM tools in one place. Cons That I have to integrate with external web conferencing tools. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer administrative analyst Accounting Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "great for business meetings" May 21, 2020 4.0 The flock platform is being the most used in the company where I work in this pandemic period, mainly due to the integration with google analytics, drive, calendar, among other platforms that we used before that period. Pros What I liked most about the software was the possibility of integration with google analytics, in the company where I work we use analytics a lot and the integration with it was fundamental in choosing the software, in addition to the integration with other software. As a result, many meetings are held only on the flock, without using other, better known platforms. Cons I didn't find the platform as easy to use as other competitors, but the integration is still unbeatable, which makes us continue to use the flock. Review Source GS Gus S. owner Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Flock for Everyday User" December 3, 2020 5.0 Group as well as related personal communications are in one space. Particularly like getting away from social media platforms - keeps from having all your eggs in one basket. Pros Flock replaces email and makes communication almost instantaneous. Like any software product, it takes some getting used to – flow, process, etc.. Once we learned how to use Flock, it was easily integrated into our business process. "Data" sharing is an essential part of the Flock experience, especially where, for a group, access to shared information is concerned. Central point of contact also proves to be beneficial. Cons There's the thought of integrating a video component. Would one-stop-shop be a detriment in this case? Review Source DD Darina D. Ing. Real Estate Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Online managementtool for engineers" January 14, 2022 5.0 Lack of managment options on older apps, like Skype, made us forced to search for a new app for communication. Flock poped up on google play store, so we tried it out. Avaible on both play store and apple store, we quickly reached our objective. Everyone in our firm uses it now. Pros Since the world is in hard situation, we rely on online communication for task managing within our firm. Flock is great program for that. Not only is there basic online chatting, but the program also has options for task assigment. This means, we are able to directly distribute the work, without need of worry of someone forgetting their work, since its always written there. We use github, google disk and drop box at our firm. This program is able to co-work with them, which makes it usage that much easier for us. The amount of space avaible, 5 GB per team on free trail, is greatly appreciated. Naturally, 20 gb per team for purchased program is more than enough for normal firm usage. For just 4,50 a month, you have 3 apps in one: online communication, cloud storage, task managment. Avaible in both google play store and apple store makes it convenient for our diverse use of software. Cons Lack of profile costumization options. Review Source Gourav M. Software Engineer Human Resources Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good for small teams but lacks many features+integrations" January 17, 2019 3.0 We're a remote first startup and flock is helping us mainly in communication, work-related discussion and project managment. Pros We're one of the early adopters of the Flock and we've switched from Hipchat to Flock couple of years back. We love the channels and file sharing feature with integrations with Dropbox and G-Drive. It's quite affordable in comparison to Slack. Cons We wish their project development bring some essential features as there's very slow growth of the development of the Flock in past 24 months. Review Source Agraj A. Founder, CEO Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Flock is a simple productivity tool for organization that 'actually works'." March 13, 2018 5.0 Team communication was integrated and simplified. Their response time was reduced substantially. The Turn Around Time (ToT) for projects/tasks/client co-coordinate was reduced to an effective scale. Pros Its simple. Its easy. Its adaptable by people of any department. Its scalable. Overall, it makes the team/organization super productive, by reducing internal emails exchanged and providing easy access to the right tools to get the things done. Cons Nothing specific worth mentioning. In case some integrations are not available, the Flock developer-friendly guides gives structured information to create one for our favorite/custom applications. Review Source Tushar D. PHP Developer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A team collaboration app with multiplatform support" February 17, 2019 5.0 Flock has helped me solve the equation of using different tools to perform the work related activities. We have Todo lists created on flock and with it's ability to create more than one lists, even separated per personal/group communications, we did had a easier way to maintain the different checklists. Automatic audio bridges help us connect from various endpoints. The image marker/code snippets sharing avoids the hussle of file sharing too. Pros \- Feature packed messaging app - Features like code snippets, inbuilt to do lists - Video Calling & Screen Sharing - Available on all major OSs Cons \- UI/UX in Android could have been better - Video Calling experience needs improvement on Linux Platform Review Source Mayank C. Manager Product Solutions Sales Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's good, and very easily accessible. " March 21, 2018 4.0 Pros Messaging right from the phone. Easily accessible from anywhere. Can monitor the things right from the phone? Cons Getting hanged sometimes. Too much of Bot messages Scroll up is very uneasy. It's not so smooth and sometimes takes to much time to view the old conversations.
