Where users see room to improve
- · Mobile apps (especially iOS) suffer from bugs, unreliable notifications, and limited integration of features like calendar and mail
- · Video call performance is unstable with more than 2-3 participants without the High-Performance Backend (HPB), which is complex and costly to set up
- · Initial setup and configuration can be complex for non-technical users, with overwhelming feature options and insufficient documentation
