**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Dusty B. | Executive Assistant, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 25, 2018

**What do you like best about Lua?**

I like that it has a desktop AND a mobile version.  Also great to who has seen your message and who has not.

**What do you dislike about Lua?**

Not enough customizations available.  I would like to be able to change the view options.  For example, one line to see more messages at once, vs. 3 lines.

**What problems is Lua solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Team communication, but only as good as those that use it!

  ### 3. Powerful Business Communication

**Rating:** 3.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Entertainment | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 29, 2016

**What do you like best about Lua?**

Lua is a very smooth app. It handles lots of communication tools for local and remote teams - file uploads, mobile syncing, fast connections, great UI. This app could almost replace slack in most companies - especially is you need to hook into Medical tooling. Connections to many of the major file shares is nice.

**What do you dislike about Lua?**

This tool is not as customizable as Slack - integrations are hard to build. It is also tailored more for Sales/Business/Medical, where as I am in a gaming and media company. This may not be the proper tool for me, but it is still a pretty decent one.

**Recommendations to others considering Lua:**

If you are looking to have a great chat, collaboration, file sharing tool and are in sales or health fields, this is the tool for you! Take a look, give it a try and get to know everything it has to offer.

**What problems is Lua solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Communication and file sharing is a big thing with remote developers and offsite clients. We wanted to find an affordable and easy to use tool to solve this. While this wasn't a perfect fit, it was still a great experience and made us evaluate other tools with a grain of salt. Lua is a great tool.
