Potato Chat iOS App Review: Security and Scale in Messaging

by HorseMen Technologies SA

Potato Chat is a security-focused messaging platform supporting massive groups up to 200,000 members and unlimited file sharing. It targets users requiring large-scale communication with encryption and speed priorities.

Detailed Review

Potato Chat positions itself as a secure messaging alternative emphasizing speed and unlimited communication capabilities. Developed by HorseMen Technologies SA, the iOS application promises enterprise-grade group management alongside standard messaging features, competing in the crowded secure communication market. The core functionality includes unlimited messaging across text, photos, videos, and document formats (.doc, .zip, .pdf), distinguishing itself through massive group support for up to 200,000 participants and broadcast channels with unlimited subscribers. The security framework remains unspecified in marketing materials, though the developer emphasizes 'safe' messaging without typical caveats found in mainstream platforms. User experience reflects a utilitarian interface prioritizing function over aesthetics, with navigation optimized for managing large communities. Real-world usage patterns suggest primary adoption by community organizers, content broadcasters, and businesses requiring mass communication tools rather than casual users. The absence of cross-platform search functionality on mobile, noted by multiple reviewers, creates practical workflow limitations compared to desktop implementation. User feedback consistently highlights feature gaps despite overall positive ratings. Reviewer Jakeaubree (2025-03-26) noted the absence of mobile search functionality present in desktop versions, while multiple users including jsjsisjeb (2025-05-30) and Anonymous7817 (2025-07-23) criticized the limited editing window for channel posts. Feature requests from Mobskiiii (2025-05-23) included custom reactions and content protection options, indicating users seek more granular control. The application demonstrates strength in scaling communication for large organizations and communities, with particular utility for broadcast scenarios. However, limitations in message editing flexibility, inconsistent feature parity across platforms, and unspecified security implementation details may deter users requiring polished consumer experiences or verified encryption standards.

You can't edit post in a channel after a very short amount of time, for a channel where your broadcasting to a bunch of people, it's best to want to edit a post rather than deleting and reposting and changing the format of a channel, just to tweak a part of a long message that stays in a channel. The updates for this app are amazing and unlocking its full potential, Emojis and reactions needs to be updated as well EDIT POST You can't edit post in a channel after a very short amount of time, for a channel where your broadcasting to a bunch of people, it's best to want to edit a post rather than deleting and reposting and changing the format of a channel, just to tweak a part of a long message that stays in a channel.

I notice channels don’t have access to individual links for posts. It would be helpful to add links that can be added to certain texts that leads them to the linked post. I believe it’s called a hyper link or embed link. ADDITIONAL FEATURE I notice channels don’t have access to individual links for posts.
