And the fact that I can play games with friends without using in game chat > > **Cons**: I can’t name one bad thing about discord. The only time I have any issues is when my network isn’t working well but that’s not discords fault > > I use it for hours every day and it’s great\! I can chat with friends and family and connect with people who I can’t see on the daily ----- ### "User review of Discord" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *10 March 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like everything about Discord. Its most appealing features are seamless communication with people from anywhere in the world, and media sharing adn storing across devices. > > **Cons**: Some features are sometimes found to be buggy when a new update is rolled out. > > On an overall basis, Discord has been useful for me most of the times. ----- ### "Not a huge fan, but forced to use" — 2.0/5 > **Tess** | *13 April 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 4.0/10 > > **Pros**: It becomes a bit easier to use over time. Secondly, I can switch between groups I'm a part of; for example, I am in a Discord channel for a volunteer group, an alumni association, a networking association, a political organization, and a group chat with friends. > > **Cons**: I think the layout is a bit confusing, and there's not enough color contrast. I don't really like the way replies either start a new thread or are on the same page for everyone to see. I think the moving emoji options to respond to others is sort of tacky. The options to speak out loud have never been used in any group I've ever been in, and I think they take up unnecessary space. I don't understand the whole Nitro thing. > > Many of the groups and organizations I'm a part of use Discord, so I have to use it. I wouldn't choose it myself and wouldn't want to use it for longer than I have to. ----- ### "Great Platform for Communication\!" — 5.0/5 > **Anthony** | *15 March 2025* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Discord is great\! You are able to maintain high quality voice and video calls even if there are multiple people within the call. Another huge plus is that it is free to use\! Discord also provides multiple integrations such as Spotify, Youtube, Twitch and more. > > **Cons**: There aren't many cons that come with discord, besides that it does consume a good amount of memory as it is a resource heavy application. You do have a limited file size that you can send with the free version of Discord, however you do have the option to pay for Nitro to have more functionality such as, better screen sharing quality, bigger file size, higher character amount in messages, and more. > > My overall experience is great\! In my day to day experience the free version is perfect for what I need to do. I've had nothing but great experiences with Discord, especially with the integrations. ----- ### "Chat with anyone with Discord" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *24 March 2025* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Discord is not a platform which consumes lots of resources, it's smooth and optimized. You can chat with anyone over the world, set roles between users and use bots to manage the server. > > **Cons**: Discord changed some UI features that I really liked, the new design is sometimes confusing. > > I've been using Discord to help people in community servers, the bots to manage servers are pretty neat, I even developed mine. ----- Page: 1 / 23\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/336108/discord?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.ie/software/336108/discord) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | ----- ## Structured Data
