Viva Engage (Yammer) for Negative User Reviews

Order of deliveryIt’s random delivery , I can see a post with todays date , next time I look it could a post from October , why not in date order ..Version: 10.39.0

Just more work to check multiple communication streamsNow instead of checking email in a mainstream work environment, I need to go to 2 places. And if I need to communicate externally with something posted on yammer, it needs to be C&P'd into an email. Update: I was provided with a valuable post. I closed the app afterward, but upon going back in, I found that posts are impossible to relocate. The search engine is of no help in this area. Rating is going down from 2 stars to 1.Version: 7.0.1

GinaI use Yammer for Hearing Dogs. To share photo’s, video’s and updates of the pups in our care/training. For the most part it’s a great site to follow everyone’s journey. However, it’s so frustrating that video’s we post, won’t play it a message comes up that it can’t be played here. This is becoming a daily problem for many. I have tried the app on my IPad and also the desktop version. Come on Yammer, get this fixed..Version: 7.51.0

An adequate discussion boardYammer is a decent discussion board, but falls well short of what it could, and should be. Microsoft Teams and Slack are better in many ways, the Yammer team should take a look at them, and possibly combine forces with Teams to create a truly great experience. Teams would be nearly perfect if you could record meetings, so it is not ready for prime time either. Surprised at their shortcomings, its not rocket science. Just build what we need, want, and have been asking for for years..Version: 7.14.1

AwesomeAwesome. Could be a tad more user friendly. Check out Facebook for tips Yammer.Version: 6.5.3

Not bad, but more cumbersome than necessaryI find the group conversations cumbersome and awkward. You have to go through the group to find the conversation and then scroll all the way down each time. Often times my app on the phone will be notified 10 minutes before my desktop app will show that I have a notification. Sometimes the notifications just don’t show up on my desktop. My team is having the same problem. Having used other IM Software, we find this one to be overly cumbersome for no reason. There are far better ways to carry on a group chat and individual chats. As an office 365 business member, I look forward to Yammer increasing its usability so that this can be our main go to in the future. It’s just not there yet..Version: 7.15.0

Tagged person bugThere is a problem with your app, when I click a tagged name in a post the app will refresh and change to another network rather than displaying the persons profile. Can this be resolved?.Version: 7.85.0

Could be BetterI enjoy using the app but ever so often it directs me to sign in using my work email which isn’t how I am set up in the system. As a retiree, my access is limited and I no longer have a work email, so it becomes frustrating to find where you would actually sign in if you are using a personal email. No apparent instructions. A fix would improve my rating..Version: 7.12.0

ComparisonCompared to iMessanger this app is difficult to follow a track of messages. The type for the content is small. The other information type is larger and easier to differentiate. Making it a chore to search for the important content. FBs messenger is only slightly better than Yammer. Down loading pix on Yammer on our desktop is cumbersome and limited..Version: 7.7.0

Landscape mode screwedOn the whole, Yammer works kind of ok (apart from the phantom 'new' notifications of new community posts!) My main issue is that any long posts with a lot of answers freeze when in landscape mode on the iPad, and I have to exit the app completely and restart it in portrait mode - bit of a pain!.Version: 8.0.0

Can’t log in after iOS updateAm continuously getting the message “Please enter your credentials again to continue using Yammer.” Even after I re-enter login and password I still get this message. Tried deleting and re-downloading the app but still had same problem..Version: 7.43.0

Worst appImpossible to connect.Version: 10.30.0

Touch IDIs there Touch ID on this app, I don’t have it or see it..Version: 7.17.0

It was great until last updateAfter the last update I can’t login despite uninstalling and reinstalling multiple times..Version: 7.43.1

Great appVery friendly app to use.Version: 7.0.4

Unable to sign inSince the app has changed to Viva Engage, I am unable to sign in to the app using my work email address and work password and this is the error I receive when I try to sign in “You cannot access this right now Your sign-in was successful, but does not meet the criteria to access this resource. For example, you might be signing in from a browser, app or location that is restricted by your admin”.Version: 10.13.0

Not openingI am trying from yesterday but it’s not opening and said use your credentials again to open it..Version: 7.43.0

Conversion from YammerThe update to Viva from Yammer no longer recognizes my login credentials?? Useless.Version: 10.12.0

Cut it out with the emailsI received 8 emails all in one day. This is an ongoing issue. All my notifications are turned off. Email is different each time so can’t block the address. Otherwise the app is great for work communication.Version: 7.37.1

ComplicatedComplicated user interface Hard to understand.Version: 7.40.1

Tracking postsIt’s very frustrating and difficult to navigate around posts. When the feed works off most recently commented on rather than time and date- makes it nearly impossible to find posts and so forth..Version: 7.13.0

Kinda confusingHard to navigate and find certain conversations. I find it once and then next time it’s gone..Version: 7.12.0

Big businessWouldn’t recommend for small businesses as it is too branched out.Version: 7.9.0

Not always reliable and clunky to utilize for groupsIn being suggested to provide a positive review by yammer I thought to include some issues that have not met expectations from a communication application. Issues: Not intuitive if you have setup a group within the app - hard to load up feed for group and not remembering preferences. The app is slow to load frequently used contacts and will suggest ones never used before initially. Instability with recent bugs with the app not able to load until conversations (messages) on a mobile. Bug in not being able to load photos in a message to a group from a mobile..Version: 7.20.0

Admin and group management in appFrom what I can see / find online and in app there is currently no way to remove members from private groups. Is this correct and /or is there a solution intended to launch? Rating will improve if I am wrong..Version: 7.44.0

Mixed experienceYammer is another channel, and the ‘another’ is part of the issue. Working for a multinational we have mail, Skype, jabber, Webex teams (with two different ways to access it), MS Teams and tools we need to use with customers and supplies like the Google suite and meetings on Bluejeans, etc. Yammer is just another way to share content. It’s another job. The constant updates and emails about announcements posted in Yammer are annoying and mean important things are missed. If you adopt it, get some expert advice on usage and adoption services and plan how your culture is expected to use it..Version: 7.30.0

Nice but it adds more to our full plateIt’s nice to hear stories from peers across the company, but when it becomes an expectation, it is a burden. We have to take more of our personal time to do “social” stuff for work. Also, why are there so many reminders about the same thing? I get 4-5 reminder messages that someone liked my post. Yammer tips the work-life balance too much toward work..Version: 7.11.0

Great idea, unreliable stabilityI’m all for having such a forum to communicate with work colleagues but the app itself is proving unreliable. There have been issues in and off over the past year when it comes to uploading images. Error messages with an annoying cat face appear disclosing no reason whatsoever for the problem. This was resolved eventually. But now, images either won’t upload or do so but then later are no longer visible within the post. Yammer also often crashes when attempting edits of an existing post. Is this an iOS issue? Who knows because I’m still a waiting for a response from Yammer admin. Please sort it out guys because frankly at the moment it is nowhere near good enough..Version: 7.48.1

More member management features for Community Managers, please!The app is user friendly and useful but as a Community Manager I find it frustrating that I can’t identify new members that are joining the group to welcome and onboard them. This could be easily solved with an announcement to group managers when someone joins and the possibility to download the list of members with their contacto info and date joined..Version: 7.8.0

Good but could be better!I use yammer all the time. But when videos are posted or even pictures are posted they done look very good. And as for new posts, when I have checked them out and I’ve closed the app down it still says I’ve got new news/posts! Annoying!!!.Version: 7.0.4

IPad app needs workOverall yammer is a very good communication tool. But the iPad app lacks the functionality/usefulness of the web version..Version: 5.5.0

Posting articlesI like the app for the ease of checking what's going on. I don't like the way it posts links. On a laptop you post a link and it expands to show a picture of the article. In the app you only get a link. I'm not impressed..Version: 6.7.21

Dark mode issue?When using the app in dark mode the thumbs up, comment icons at the bottom of the post aren’t overly visible and need the outline colour enhancing so you can actually see the icons and respond, etc..Version: 7.68.0

Functional but a bit clunkyGreat to get updated on mobile but between this and the web functionality Yammer still leaves a lot to be desired... could learn a lot from Slack!.Version: 6.5.17

Newsfeed out of orderEchoing what others have said. Having the newsfeed out of order unfortunately makes the app entirely useless for day to day use, which is a shame as it was previously a great app. Notifications are also broken, and only notify on mention rather than for the groups/communities set. Developers great at correspondence, but I don't think a fix is in their roadmap for the future, sadly. Here's hoping either it reverts back or an option to turn off the new ordering is enabled..Version: 7.74.0

Broken since last two updatesLesson learned: don’t update this app if it’s working. The last 2 updates introduced a perpetual login loop with a sprinkling of nonresponsive splash screens at seemingly random intervals..Version: 7.43.0

Good, but could be betterI really like this app because it is helping me find roommates to dorm with in college, however, for some reason when I try to scroll down the page in the communities page it will stop scrolling down after like 10 messages and won’t load the rest of the messages on that community. Please fix this!!!.Version: 7.60.0

Inaccurate: Read MessagesNot a fan of how old messages show up again as people comment. Makes it hard to keep up on new posts that get drowned out. Biggest issue is the inaccurate unread posts. I can get to the bottom, but back in groups it says I have 20+ unread messages. Unsure of accuracy from desktop to app tracking. Would like more/ better filters..Version: 7.3.0

Unreliable and annoyingThe iPhone version of yammer lacks several key features of the website including search..Version: 6.4.35

😭😭😢I have no friends.Version: 7.71.0

UpdatesWith recent update I no longer see how many new posts are within groups (if over 20), some of them are quiet so easy to catch up but some groups are lively and it can be over 100 in a day easily so at least would like to mentally know how much time will it take me to scroll through. Another annoying part is that although there are no new messages within groups (and no additional responses) I’m still scrolling down the same old stuff although on the top I’ve selected new only.. plus I’ve got groups that have usually under 20 new messages - i.e 4 new, I scroll through them, get a tick that I’m all caught up but when I close the app and come back a little while later I have the same info on ‘4 new’ messages again... I’m happy to increase the rating if these get fixed but for now I find these rather annoying...Version: 7.54.0

App crashes doesn’t allow me to loginEven if I have the right password an all.Version: 7.5.0

Shocker of an appOk so I am using an iPhone 13, but this is a ridiculously unstable app. The number of times of freezes, or displays a blank screen after a second of seeing the entire post is incredibly frustrating. And yes, I have the latest and latest iPhone updates as well as fast wifi..Version: 10.34.0

NagwareEvery 0.0.1 release a message pops up to upgrade the app or to rate it. Annoying and unnecessary. Other than that, a helpful app that lets you stay up to date on the road..Version: 6.3.3

Error code 500Hi after invite i fill form click next get error code 500.Version: 8.2.0

GreatYammer is a good social media platform for those who need a secondary option outside of more mainstream sources. However it could improve by giving notifications whenever someone in a group makes a post..Version: 7.15.0

Hard to locate my group’s filesI was asked to use Yammer as part of a smaller group within a national organization. The directors of my group posted many files for us, and “pinned” some of them for easier access. But as far as I can tell, when I access my group through the Yammer app, I cannot access the list of files that our directors have posted and pinned there. Instead, I have to exit the group and use the search function, which has two problems: 1) If I do not know the name of the document I am looking for, I am pretty much out of luck; and 2) the app searches not within my smaller group but within the whole national organization to which my group belongs. So if I search for something like “schedule,” I have to sift through every single schedule document that has ever been posted in the organization. This is a significant hassle, and has discouraged members of my group from reviewing required materials because it is simply too difficult to find them..Version: 7.11.0

Poor - embarrassing MicrosoftGenerally buggy, photo’s take forever to load, if they load at all (wifi or data and any location). Can’t organize order of them. So many basics that seem not to really work - hard to believe it’s a Microsoft application..Version: 10.23.0

Something broken with this appWas using for years, I guess a recent update broke the app on iPhone. All my other apps working fine, this one in slow motion , wait several secs after push any button before see something happen, so 1 min to type a long word..Version: 7.69.0

App doesn’t open in the right contextOften when I get an email or notification on my phone about a message on Yammer, opening the link/notification on Yammer leads to a default page instead of the correct message. This is unusable. I’m part of several networks but this shouldn’t be a valid reason for links not working correctly..Version: 7.21.0

Needs a lot of workI use yammer for work purposes only, but I do not like the spamming of yammer in my emails, I’m just average at technology but this won’t let me unsubscribe from the bombardment of emails, I even emailed them to fix the issue I understand the pressure of using yammer because of work but recommend against it due to the harassment of emails.Version: 7.37.1

Rating of the phone versionThe PC experience is fine. The phone is poor. When alerted in email AND the app is open, it won't go to the ref in that email until you close the app. Then, in spite of being authenticated, you're asked to log in...but that's actually bogus. Just close the request and you're in. That's just poor UX. Then there's the whole UX in the phone. Terrible use of real estate. It's a phone NOT A PC. Figure out how users use it and build to that. Please..Version: 7.15.0

Inbox is uselessSince a recent update the inbox is totally borked. Giving emphasis to the most recent reply instead of the main message makes it very difficult to see important information easily. Most of the replies in our companies conversations are just people mentioning other people so they see the initial message - which tells you something about how Yammer could make it simpler, admittedly for simpletons, to share messages instead of just reply to everything with a random name..Version: 7.60.0

Absolutely terribleOnly using this because we have too, but really it’s a poor mans Facebook at work. Adoption in our business has plummeted due to a myriad of poor UX design that’s shows you stuff you have already seen and couldn’t care less about, bad notifications (missing everything that’s going on). The only people rating this more that 1* must be over 45 because they clearly have never used a social network before. Such a missed opportunity..Version: 7.32.1

Tube QueenIt's a great app and good for reading other staff's opinions on issues within TfL and getting updates on TfL action/improvements in various sections and departments. It would be nice though, if we could put the updates that are PDF into iBooks it's NOT possible at the moment and it's annoying..Version: 7.0.1

Barely UsableSadly my employer has closed all in house forum discussions and migrated to Yammer so I am forced to use this to communicate with colleagues. It's appalling, the lag whilst typing frequently causes errors. It's slow to load initially and to switch between discussions and it's prone to freezing, usually when you have just spent 15 minutes formulating an incisive post. Said freeze precludes posting or even pasting the text so it's lost. Hate it. Recent updates have not improved the experience. It’s latest version is slightly better but not much. It also keeps bugging me to leave reviews..Version: 7.25.0

Fix the new updateLiterally just updated it and now it won’t let me log in keeps saying, please enter your credentials again to continue using yammertime but it won’t let me enter them let alone get past the screen. Really frustrated because I need this working for my roster.Version: 7.43.0

Not user friendlyPhotos showing in wrong perspective eg if my iPad is in landscape it will show the photo in portrait and then if I change from landscape to portrait and then back the photo will be in right perspective but not in whole screen? Also when reading comments on a post in a group coming back out the group page will reload taking you near the top! Very annoying. Didn't do this until recently must have updated automatically did anyone even test this? Would be fine otherwise..Version: 7.0.1

Fix this please..When you press on the more section it just shows blank page and when you try to type the words are blank too....Version: 7.19.0

Would score more if search colleagues function existsNeed more people to join and perhaps better introductions on using. Great opportunity to build better stronger networks.Version: 6.4.28

Requires a few improvementsThe mobile/tablet app on iOS needs to be able to add/edit/remove topic labels. It’s seems baffling that this hasn’t been done already. The other thing I’ve noticed is that the community header images aren’t responsive, nor in the same ratio as the desktop/Teams version. This also needs to be sorted before I can rate it any higher. Thanks..Version: 10.28.0

Great Communication ToolThis a great app to encourage communication throughout an organisation. However there are still a couple of bugs to work out, the major one being: Even after quite a few updates, conversations still show as having new updates or as unread leading you to see the same messages over and over again even though nothing has changed. It’s very frustrating.Version: 7.40.0

Push Notifications don’t Work.Previously, notifications would come through to your phone when new posts or comments were made. Since the last update though push notifications don’t come though, and the settings section for push notifications is completely blank - looks like a bug..Version: 9.15.0

PoorThe app is so slow! The screen freezes when you scroll down. The photos takes time to load. Most annoying feature is the time it takes to find and tag a person to the post. Never seen such poor execution. The only reason I am this junk is because of work. Cannot believe it’s part of Microsoft..Version: 8.27.0

No background audio & full screen doesn’t workIt baffles me how this app on iPhone or iPad will not allow audio in the background on live streams in our large corporation. On iPad with live streams, the full screen does nothing and the video remains very small. Of course the streaming video always buffers and pauses, but this is more likely to do with back end service than the app, but I really have come to hate Yammer and most MS collab apps more than WebEx, which I thought I would never say..Version: 9.40.0

Features on iOS and Browser don't matchSeveral features (i.e. Poll creating, viewing sidebar info, direct access to Notes and Files) are not available in the iOS app. These differences between the iOS version and the browser version are a cause for misinformation and accessibility issues. Still a good platform for institutional social networking..Version: 7.0.4

Could be better.App could be better. When I’m reading a post it suddenly disappears possibly because a new post has been uploaded. When I go into a group as it states there are new posts and New is selected at the top I still see posts I’ve already seen. Both these issues mean I might be missing out on important information for my work..Version: 7.61.0

Almost thereThere are a lot of things right with this app, and a few small annoying quirks that make it that much more difficult to get work done on iOS. Speaking mostly about the iPad app here: Split screen will not work on iPad: you have an iPhone version, so why do we not have the ability to use that in multitasking view?? Split screen does not work at all currently. File downloading: I commonly download JPG & ZIP files to the files app on iOS, yet for some reason ZIP files are “unavailable” on mobile through the app. If I go to the web I can download, unzip, and retrieve the files right from my iOS devices. Why is the Yammer app the hold up here? The ability to save any files (no matter which format) to Dropbox or the files app would be GREATLY appreciated!.Version: 7.6.0

Good app for basics but bugsThe app is good for seeing latest posts but it’s not as good as desktop. I frequently get notification counts that are different to the notifications (eg red 2 blob but only 1 unread message or like). The feed doesn’t show everything unlike desktop feed. It was fiddly switching between networks. The ‘groups’ section shows unread messages but then says I have read everything. But if you want to keep up on-the-go the app is worth it..Version: 7.23.0

Azure SSO with MFA Broken in Mobile AppAuthentication fails in the mobile application when using Azure SSO with MFA. Prompts for username/password in app, fails. Forgot password functionality bounces to auth provider which does not complete. Forced to use mobile browser. When attempting to launch mobile app from authenticated mobile browser context, placed through authentication flow in the mobile app again which fails as before. Circular failure when using Azure SSO with MFA..Version: 7.29.0

UghI love the concept of the app. I really do. One thing that would make it great is if it was in order of things posted. I dislike that the first thing I see is from 4 days to something that was posted weeks ago to something posted that day and so on. If that could get fixed, that would be super great!.Version: 10.22.0

YammerUse this to disseminate information between work colleagues. Unfortunately a recent update means I’m unable to view information. Multiple attempts and so far no joy. Guess if something is actually important people actually speak to you. Prioritise important communication makes this application redundant 😊.Version: 7.34.0

3rd party integrations are uselessBe warned. 3rd party integrations such as Trello and Google Analytics to post actions and updates to a Yammer group are useless with new Yammer on the web and the mobile app. In both cases the post header is the only thing that’s visible. No details of the post such as Google Analytics metrics or the details of action on a Trello card. This is useless for me unless they fix it and allow the same details as old Yammer layout..Version: 7.82.1

Stop using algorithms to determine what users want to see.Sort post by date. I keep seeing the same post from 3 weeks ago at the top of my feed, yet all the new posts are randomly scattered around the timeline. Unnecessary scrolling. Please give the ability for users to control what that see..Version: 9.17.0

Need to SearchBring back search function within groups.Version: 7.13.0

Horrible UX (user experience)The Yammer system treats posts and private messages as the same thing, and this app reveals that fact in a very annoying way. If you press the pencil icon (new post/message) you get a blank text box to start writing your post. If you leave the "to" field empty (focus doesn't start there) it will default to a public post as you'd expect, but if you tag anyone in the body of the post it moronically decides you wanted to send a private message. You only find out after you press send, and then you can't delete it and you look like an idiot because you sent an obviously public message to just one person. This was a terrible UX decision, which will never result in the right behaviour for anyone. One star because their stupid decision makes me look stupid..Version: 6.4.29

They hamstrung it.I wish I could revert. The latest version no longer lets you reach external networks or groups in your network that you don't follow. This app is ok - if you only want to look at the 'following' view of your inbox. But frankly the previous version, though not as purty, was much more functional..Version: 6.0.0

Buggy and lacking polishYammer on iOS is painful, the activity feed only has a limited number of recent posts (seems to be a long-standing bug?), need to go to browser to see more. Notifications are unwieldy and take more clicks than they should to clear. Compared to Google products this is a poor implementation that lacks polish..Version: 6.5.3

Cannot open Yammer“Please enter credentials again to continue using yammer” is always on the screen when my colleagues and I try to open yammer app. A lot of people have had this happen for a few days. Many have got the new update. When we try to login it brings us back to the same quoted page.Version: 7.43.0

HelpHello since updating the app, a box will keep coming up saying ‘Please enter your credentials again to continue using Yammer’ this will keep coming up know matter what you do. My whole workplace uses yammer and since many of us have updated the app we all are having the same problem :( please help..Version: 7.43.1

The app hangsThe app hangs and doesn’t let me log in. This wasn’t a problem when it was yammer. I used to feel a lot more happy at work when I saw the work related memes and relatable posts, but now the app is not working.Version: 10.46.1
