I use the Mattermost iOS app daily, and it works well on a good connection.

The iOS app is a feature rich experience similar to web and desktop apps, so when I travel and am on a slow connection it doesn't perform as well.

Here are our current mobile performance benchmarks so you can decide for yourself: https://docs.mattermost.com/deployment/push.html#mobile-perf...

There's work underway to get the mobile apps working better on slow connections.

You said it's feature rich, therefore has lower performance over slow connections.

This is not true. Mobile app performance over slow connections is determined by app/server architecture, payload efficiency, caching strategy, etc.

There are many examples of feature rich apps performing well on slow connections, and many simple apps performing poorly over a normal connection.
