We have been using it as an instant messenger app for a while. Flock was the first messenger app we used after the intranet messenger fail to meet our expectations. It's given our company flexibility in terms of cloud-based file transfer and storage, cloud messaging and multiple device access to messages.

Flock was used as a communication channel to share information over texts & calls. Did not find any problems in usage and found it very convenient to use. A great platform to communicate with anyone within the organization rather than sending emails every time. Can initiate a chat instantly to ask & pass any messages.

The team uses Flock alongside Asana (our primary collaboration tool). We have multiple teams working separately with Asana, and Flock is the one place we can all communicate and coordinate together. So it keeps us all connected and working together even if some members are currently working on different projects.

Flock is basically the lifeblood of our firm. We use it daily for communication, calendaring, notes and anything else you can think of. We are a 2 person firm and we are never usually in the office together so it solves the communication problem perfectly. I can't imagine how we organized our notes pre-Flock.

Among the many communication platforms we have tried, Flock has proved to be the most reliable communication software in this organization. Flock is used in the entire organization irrespective of the departments. With our computers set to open automatically when launched in the morning, this helps in relying on information across a large number of people at the same time. The automatic opening of Flock is the most reliable feature of this app because no one forgets to open this software.

Flock is a great resource for communication within the office. We use Flock throughout our entire office and we have also added people from other departments into some of our chats that pertained to them. We have all of our computers set to automatically open Flock when our computers are turned on every morning. This is great because no one 'forgets' to open it and then misses important messages.

I was using Flock heavily for a while. It's free plan covered a lot of the requirements my decentralized booking team needed. We ended up moving to another platform to better address our needs, however I still do recommend Flock for its use and features. The best feature is its collaborative nature and streamlined communication process.

We used Flock as a messaging tool for the entire company. Each department had different channels, specialty groups had channels, and we also used it for one-on-one communication.

We'd used Slack in the past but dropped it due to the limited message storage with the free version. We moved to Glip (a message service that comes with the RingCentral suite of tools), but as we moved away from RingCentral, we needed a new tool. Flock was a decent tool compared to the rest. Unfortunately, there was a similar messaging limit with Flock, but we stuck with it anyway.
