Slack

The notifications are Annoying to deal with

Slack is a really great app!

New messages typed in a DM are added to the middle of previously sent paragraphs. Also, I can’t edit certain text paragraphs at random. There’s no rhyme or reason either. For example, my boss sent me a reply to a personal DM and his response was inserted between two messages I’d sent 30 minutes beforehand. What is going on?! Also, if I type a new message reply it throws my message up into my old messages too. New messages should show up at the bottom of a DM. Please fix as it’s difficult to do any business this way. It’s easy to miss messages if I have to search between all my previous messages.

Slack has proven to be the best in communications with employees and other business entrepreneurs. Everything can be organized and found quickly which is needed in today's world.

I pay for this app because I work with people who use it. At least 50% of the time there is zero notifications for messages sent to me. It’s horrendous to try and operate a business with. I look like a fool because days will go by and I didn’t know there was a message in the first place. No email notification, no push notification, nothing. Then sometimes notifications will work. It’s far from a professional app, but you have to pay for some features. I’d never use it if I didn’t have to.

Couple of issues: 1) Keeps kicking me out of my channel and I need to rejoin 2) If I select a channel to share an image, that channel gets unselected and the selection does not persist Also, please control your pricing increases. It is a matter of time before switching to another app

I work night shift and would love to be able to set custom notifications for the hours I work each night. Custom notifications work well if you’re on day shift, but not if you work overnight. Example: Working Monday night 6:00p-4:30a. It would be great to be able to set those times overnight. But currently I can only set it for Mon 6:00p-11:59p, then set Tue for midnight to 4:30a. After that, I can’t set another time for Tue night (6:00p-11:59p). You can only set ONE time frame per day. I know I can pause notifications too, but I’d love to just have them on a custom schedule.

Hate it, looks and operates very clunky. Feels like a high schooler coded this thing.

Marginal product

Distraction from more efficient ways to communicate and collaborate. 2 specific points: 1. With so may collab mechanisms out there eg. Whatsapp, texts/imsg. Telegram and all the social media, it would make sense to collaborate on ones u are mostly in and not, yet another slack. 2. I haven’t figured out a way to show two instances of slack on my monitor, unlike two gmail accounts. That capability can make it more user friendly for those like me having to use slack at work. I feel slack is only, possibly, effective of implemented in a company with everyone using it. Its advanced features are still evolving and are of little use. In my company a large population continues to use Chime which i too consider more useful I would prefer whatsapp any day.
