I like the fact you can use appear.in as a 'virtual office' were you can sit with your team members no matter where they are located. Our team use this office daily and its helped us stay connected and most importantly create efficiencies by enabling those coffee machine conversations online.

Sometimes the connection can slow your computer down, especially if you use two rooms simultaneously (if you want to join different groups). If you don't have the appear.in window at full size on your screen, the little help button at the bottom is in the way when you starting typing in the chat. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
that it works in a browser with no requirement to down load software. It has a very easy entry (just send out the link and join) and has the basic functions needed - screen sharing, video and audio with a simple chat window. So many other apps are bloated with features that most people never need or use which makes them difficult to start up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Settings in the main PRO account for multiple rooms can be a bit confusing
Sometimes it can be easy to get a ghost session up on a single computer.
There is no screen share on the mobile application (ie. cant share a presentation on the ipad with others) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
appear.in is great because clients don't have to download any special software, they just need to click the branded link that I send them and we are ready to connect - this is especially important as some of my clients are not tech savvy.
It is also great to be able to screenshare and connect with more than one person at a time Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is very little to dislike as I find it more reliable than Skype or other services but like any video chat platform if your internet connection is not great then that can affect call quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy of use, web-based on desktops (so no downloads), no need for complicated links to connect, just type the URL and that's it. Once again, the best part is that your clients do not need to go through a complicated download and installation process, so it is very straight forward with little/no need of system/computer knowledge to make it work.

Recording capability is a little clunky, doesn't feel like straight forward. It is easy of use but it is not well thought in terms of user experience or logic sequence with the need of starting over and over everytime you switch the screen shared. The only time I requested support, it took a while to get an answer Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We started using Appear.in early on: it is browser based and very fast! Performance is probably the biggest reason we use it, performance == convenience to us. To join a conference one needs to simply click a link, which opens as a browser tab and you can immediately see your teammates, share your screen and talk - no need to install any additional software.
Oh and it also works on mobile! I had no issues doing a video conference with 3 of my teammates, over flaky 4g network. Very impressive! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The need to switch the room type when number of participants exceeds 4. I would think this would be automatic. I'm sure there is a technical reason to it, but still.. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ease of use. Jumping into a video chat is as easy as handing someone a URL. We treat our Appear.in "rooms" as common rooms for all our remote workers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The initial setup pains of "Can you hear me now?". This is much less to do with Appear.in and much more to do with end users computer or phone configurations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Easy room creation, I've used both free and paid option and whenever I can avoid other video conferencing tools I recommend clients to use this. Best share screen option (share a tab, window, whole screen). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
free option seems to be really limited now (we started using appearin years ago and have transferred since to paid version but some of the people I have recommended this say their rooms have been deleted). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that I only need to send a client or meeting recipient a link to meet with me. No application install is required. Makes it so quick and easy to meet with anyone, on any device anywhere in the World. For a small business where most of us work from home in a variety of cities it has become an indispensible tool to enable us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is nothing don't like about my experience so far Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
appear.in is simply to use - it just runs in a standard Web browser (assuming that standard Web browser is Chrome or Firefox). No software to download or install, it just works. It's also free for basic use, so if you need to invite anyone to talk to you it's as simple as sending them a URL to click on. That's all there is to it.

Business pricing has recently been hiked up to what I consider too high a price for many small companies. Apart from that, it's great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I like the large setting the 12 user interface lets me use whereby for business, pleasure and for hobbies. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The limit of 12 users i believe that 16. Would be proper. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
