> 
> **Pros**: It’s bulk instant messaging is the most effective feature than in any other chat application which made our group chat extremely efficient.
> 
> **Cons**: I don’t see any feature mistakes but if we want to take an action such as deleting chats it can take a bit some time.
>

### "Secure and complete communication app" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *10 May 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: One of the most important pro is the data protection, you know that all the info disclosed through messages are secured. It can be downloaded on different devices: Android, iOS, Windows, Linux. The app is really easy to use, has a lot of helpful features to maintain good communication.
> 
> **Cons**: There are only two things I would like to see Rocket.chat improve: the Search section (searching for a specific word won’t show the right results, but random messages), and that the new messages notification don’t always pop up.
