Surprisingly good. Much better than using regular fb for work-related stuff: important posts don't get buried because everyone hits "like" on a pic of someone's baby, but seem to pretty much remain organized by time/date. Users who struggle with new apps but who already use Facebook will probably find the interface fairly intuitive. One drawback: app sometimes randomly decides not to send notifs for long periods of time. This could be due to my own device settings, though, so no stars deducted.
The messy internals due to my company's third party signup made this a nightmare. I was given the all-clear with 2 different emails but I still can't sign in for days. When it suddenly worked, my helpdesk had to email me because the system somehow didn't let me know. And this was not isolated; 3 other team members suffered this. Also, I was held at figurative gunpoint to install this or else. I didn't have much of a choice.
Using this app for the first time and stuck in an infinite loop. Selected the login option and got the alert "Sorry, we were unable to find an account with the following email address". No problem, so I selected the sign up option and got the alert "(email address) is already registered on Workplace. Just tap 'Continue' to log in." Tapped continue, tried logging in again, failed again. I'm not logged into Workplace on any other device because same issue. What is happening... boo
I'm another person that has to use this app for work, and it's gotten to the point where it crashes everytime I open it. It was working great for a while, then it started to crash everytime I went into our company group. Now it crashes as soon as it's opened. I've uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times, reset phone, cleaned garbage data. Nothing. I don't see a way to contact support, so yeah, this is great.
No matter how many times I restrict and prevent background data and ram usage in my phone's actual settings, Workplace just keeps on going. As soon as I deleted the app, my phone jumped in speed. Heck, it's probably been the cause of my phone's severe battery drain for the last few weeks, too! I'll stick with the desktop site from now on when at work. Facebook kills everything it touches with just so much bloat and so many glitches. Their general creepiness is also a reason for deletion.
The app would be handy to have, but cause it wont actually open the app after the single use sign in on the webpage, it is therefore almost pointless having installed. It just puts me in a loop, when I press the button to open app and continually opens more web browser windows of the same page. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S9. So unless you make some adjustments, it's pointless me having the app installed.
Update: Facebook, 👍 great job screwing up a perfectly fine application. After a week of effort I have given up trying to make it work again. I can't even communicate with my employees anymore. Old review: Hasn't been working for a week. Logged me out and said it is searching for a secure connection. I can't connect and communicate with my employees through it. Back to texting.
I'd give it negative 🌟s if I could. Single handedly the most useless POS I have to contend with on a weekly basis. Doesn't like my phone, computer, tablet, WiFi, internet, ANYTHING! (Samsung/Optus) Every week I NEED to use it to confirm/accept shifts for my job. So I usually get to spend an absolutely awesome 45 to well over an hour just sitting there refreshing/reopening it until it magically decides to bloody work! It's been over 6 months. Service hasn't improved. Your product sucks.
Only have this installed because I need it for work. Almost never works properly. Constantly logs me out, even when I ask to remain logged in & regularly need to reinstall the app from scratch to get it to even work at all. It will tell me to switch to US English (which does nothing) and softlocks the app until I close it again. I would gladly never use this again if it weren't for my job requiring it.
Honestly, bad, really bad, I have given up on the app all together, the only way to realy use this platform is through a web link using a secure browser, it may be a painful process but way way easier than using a fourth rate app that doesnt do what its supposed to, the benefit of that is you dont get notifications every 5 minutes, and you dont have a battery wasting app
I would like this app to save file directly to Download folder when I tap on a file in a group (or at least offer me option to save or open). Because when the file is opened (even some types of files connot be opened by the default app) but I connot find where the file is (in order to save, move, modify etc.), I feel confused. Thank you.
The app doesn't work at all. Reading the reviews leads me to believe that Five Star Ratings have been awarded by people high on crack. (Seriously, there a recipe for a club sandwich in the reviews!?) After attempting multiple times to connect with my team, we realized that nobody else was having issues because they were all using the desktop version.
The app worked perfectly fine for me, until the latest update. When I try to turn my phone or my tablet sideways to watch a video, the video doesn't rotate anymore. Why?!?!?! I double checked to make sure I hadn't accidentally turned auto rotate off on my devices, and I haven't, so it must be the app.
Not sure If there was a recent update, but suddenly I cant do anything on the app. Anytime I try to type anything, the app reloads and erases what I've typed. The app has been great since I started using it, but over the past few days it's been absolute garbage. Hopefully they release a new update quickly.
Frustrating and I wish I could give it zero stars. I downloaded the app because my work wanted to keep in touch through it. I signed up but then the company I work for, decided against using Workplace. I tried to go into the settings options of the app but it kept saying I was offline. Then I went on the desk top and tried deleting it but I have no way of getting rid of this stupid account!!! There are also no contact details. 🤬
I was able to log in yesterday for the first time since the update which made it impossible to log in. Today I can't log in again, it keeps giving me an error that I'm not on the clock (I am), then it got stuck in a scrolling circle. I have logged out, uninstalled and reinstalled multiple times. Useless if people can't log in. I'd give 0 stars right now if I could. Need to fix log in for hourlies
So frustrating!! I haven't been able to to get on my account since it logged me out, have told my managers and company I work for and they can't even get me on yet everyone else can. Keeps telling me to use a one time passcode, but apparently that doesn't exist. Tried making a new account several times but it makes it as the whole company. I have to have this for my job but nothing is working, beyond frustrated...
For those who are stucked with the never ending loop of single log in. Follow this simple trick. After you are able to sign in and authenticate your email and says open with App. Click on open with App and if the loop of open with App still coming on, just copy the link to another browser. For instance, if you are using Opera initially, just copy and paste the link on the opera to Google Chrome and you can then have the option of open with the App itself. I hope this help someone

Dark mode is broken. The items in the notification list show up on dazzling white. At the same time some buttons are so dark I can barely see them. I got an email informing me of a new notification, but when I opened the app it wasn't there. I needed to manually refresh the list to get it to appear.
