As of today, we are looking into other platforms outside of Slack due to the lack of innovation and buy out from sales force. Now with the acquisition from salesforce, I truly feel like Slack is going to go down the drain and what was once the industry leader in communication has sat back on the couch, slacking, watching everybody else move forward. I’ve also noticed in those past five years, Slack has barely innovated and as of recently, especially during 2020 when most applications like zoom, Google meet, and Microsoft teams have been booming with innovation in new ways of interacting in this new work from home work life. I’ve been using it as my internal business communication tool for the past five years. Thank you for everything your team and developers have done to streamline our success. I don’t leave many reviews, and this is one of the only ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews I’ve left. I love how i can change my profile picture, name, workplace info, choose privacy and notification settings, can set myself as away, and all my notifications come in once I’m active, have a dark mode enabled (this saves my tired eyes first thing in the morning) and an all the way around fun place to communicate with others. This app is reliable, always functioning, never disappoints with the reactions and features to customize for your job specific needs, and in all ways shapes and form been hands down 100% real time. It’s NEVER: crashed, logged me out unexpectedly, had any technical problems, deleted any of my channels, failed in posting, or any other problems. This app has never caused me any problems. I started using slack in January for my job, as our communications channel, between team members. This can lead to me not noticing a message for days Lastly, if I get a message while snoozed I am not told about it once the snooze ends. It would be much less distracting / annoying to group the messages and notify on configurable intervals If a conversation is happening I want to know about it, but I also don’t want my phone to completely blow up with 50 notifications beeping at me in 10 minutes. There is no granularity on getting alerts for channels besides give me everything all the time, and give me nothing. Why would I want the same snooze settings? There are no different snooze settings for different days of the week.

Big failing for me compared to something like FB messenger which will know to clear them. I have to go dismiss them all one at a time even though the app should know I’ve read them. Messages you read on web or on the app don’t dismiss notifications. I work at a company with thousands of employees, so if I search for someone with a common first name and I don’t know their last name, I have to go through a list of 30 people when I’ve talked to them before and I’d expect them to just come up first. Searching for users when trying to start a DM doesn’t prioritize users you’ve talked to before. Putting a lot of detail in hopes it is read by developers as I do want to love the app. Some things are big misses for me though, especially notifications. Scientifically proven (or at least rumored) to make your working life simpler, more pleasant, and more productive.
