Another Sessions castoff here, looking for a replacement and leery of getting burned again. So, why did I take a leap of faith? I saw how engaging James has been, giving articulate, transparent answers here in the Q&A, and when I reached out with questions and feedback, he was that same way in email. So, I took the plunge.

Admittedly, I have lowered expectations of apps here because many deals are for products in beta or just out of MVP stage, so imagine my pleasant surprise to discover a mature product that's clearly been tested and refined and that had zero issues with account setup. I think it took me ~40 seconds?

The onboarding was efficient. The UI is clean and even with the, in my opinion, slightly odd dual Kyzon Space / Flow app access, it takes only a few minutes to orient yourself to the layout and get around. Everything I've tried works well, though there are some differences in how it executes certain tasks if you're accustomed to Zoom, Skype, Meetings, Teams, etc. This isn't a PWA, it's a full browser app, so there are tradeoffs when it comes to ease with screensharing and video sharing, but Kyzon is aware of that and has workarounds in place to accommodate them. Again, they've clearly been testing and refining this and have thoughts/answers to every feature I've discussed with them, and many answers come down to they either haven't found a way to make it work that meets their high standards, or financially it would risk company's stability due to the high cost of third party solutions, so they're still exploring options.

I have not put it through the ringer fully, but I ran a quick test run with 6 people, some on laptops and some on mobile, and had zero issues. Then I did another run with document sharing and that worked well. Scheduling, sending links, logging in, etc all work smoothly and quickly for people without accounts, which is huge for me as Skype is now dead and Zoom is getting useless for free use.

If you need a clean, fast, easy way to meet with people? This is 10 out of 5 tacos. If you're an educator or interact with clients in somewhat unique ways (needing annotation or whiteboards), or don't like a couple minor steps to seeing video while sharing your screen, this is 5 out of 5 tacos because James and the team seem to be working toward solutions in those regards and it's still capable of working in those cases if you make some adjustments on your end.

My nitpicks? The buttons are too minimal, the walkthrough is adequate but not as good as it could be, the window configurations depending on your screen resolution results in some large dead space, and the main dashboard being different than the Space and Flow dashboards isn't
ideal. I told them this and James, again, had answers, thoughts, and insights into how they're looking to improve in those areas, and/or why they've gone the direction they have.

I am glad I picked this up and am optimistic about where the app is heading. And I'm happy to support developers who (as near as I can tell) prioritize stability and longevity over flashy features, and who welcome feedback and articulate their decisions without trying to "woo" me by telling me what I want to hear.

Hats off to James and the team.
