Comment summary: ChatStep's new beta version has been met with overwhelming criticism from users. Many find it slow, difficult to use, and lacking privacy due to the mandatory email registration. Users report issues with logging in, navigating chat rooms, and an unresponsive support team. While one positive comment appreciated its design, the majority express frustration, longing for the return of the old interface, and considering alternative platforms.

Literally the worst chat service on the web. Can't log in (even if you register)---keep getting error 440. Contacted the dev team, 2 weeks and no response. They clearly don't care about their users and have no interest in improving user experience.

Choose anything else. Chatstep is the worst.

If you ever have an issue with logging in, good luck contacting the dev team. No response from them after 5 days---not even a "we are looking into it" or "thank you for contacting us".

Unusable site.

Hate the new Chatstep, why the hell did yous change such a good site??

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Please bring back the old version or yous will have to shut the site down as no one will use it.

Probably wasting our time as these reviews won't be looked at by whom run the site.

Went from one the best sites on the net, to probably the worst!!
