This is a truly awful messaging app.
It all starts with replying to a message. There is no sort order to the contacts list, so it is painful to find the right user to reply to — it is as if the app is optimized for people with about five contacts. Ive got dozens, if not hundreds, of people I message and I want to find and respond to peopleq quickly. Slack gets this.
It is slow. It fails hard when internet conditions arent perfect (frequently failing to send messages — and then double or triple sending them. Thanks.).
I dont know why youd use Hipchat if not forced to by your company. And it sounds like this is a really well known issue.
