Reviews for Slack

This app is so unreliable. Whenever I get messages with preview notification on my phone I can't read them on the app, like they were never sent to me. How does that even happen?! Luckily I have the app on my laptop and can see the missing messages there but it is ridiculous how this keeps happening. Even when I can clearly see the message on the laptop it does not appear on my phone, it just skips to the next one. I never had an app with that issue before. I would love this app if not for that.

Latest update is really awful. Now messages often won't send or take several minutes to send, and I have either a blank Slack notification on my notification bar the whole time it tries to send a message, or there's one that says "Sending message..." that appears and disappears over several minutes. For each message sent. Edit: I cleared the apps cache like suggested and it didn't help. I also now have a permanent blank slack notification, even when the app isn't being used and is force closed.

Same issue I see others writing about, I get a notification OK, then I click it and the app comes up, but that message isn't in the thread view. Once I got a notification for a message someone had added to, and the bit they added was in the thread view, but not the original text (was very confusing since that bit didn't make sense by itself). I've basically reached the point where I use the app just to hear the "ding", then I go to the web interface to read.

App is simply bad. Both phone and desktop versions. Phone version never sends notifications, even though they are allowed. Desktop icon keeps showing that I have unread messages, even though theres none. And of course the best thing - in a free version - that you cant lookup older messages, unless you pay for it. And if you at last decide to pay for it, turns out that only "the owner" of the workspace can activate paying per person.

Used it for years on my phone, but recently have been told it's not compatible with my device. I got notifications, and could open them up still and see chats progressing without me, but I could not close the pop up of "this app needs an update." Literally, it still worked, but would not let me even view messages, even though it was updating the conversations itself. Overall, very disappointed as I can no longer talk with my family in slack group conversations anymore.

Notifications frequently do not show up. I had to set a periodic alarm to check for new posts. DMs and chats are listed alphabetically on the home page, not chrono. If you want to see them chrono, you have to tap a different page. If you read a message in the app or through the web without tapping the notification on your phone, the notification stays. One more little thing: when you're done typing, the 'back' arrow in the top left does not go back! It closes the keyboard first

The past week and a half, the app has stopped working properly. Some messages aren't fetched at all and are simply missing, and some messages refuse to send from the mobile side despite no other messaging application having issues. I love slack, but this is causing a lot of issues. It also appears to be happening on the iOS version I use as well. Please help.

While the app is a mobile version of slack, the main point of slack is to communicate, and over half the time I try to send a message, the send button disappears of is replaced by the mic, and then the message will sometimes automatically send 1-5 minutes later. This is incredibly frustrating when I'm trying to communicate with my colleagues, and it defeats the entire purpose of the app. If I can't communicate efficiently and consistently using it, there's no point in trying it.

Doesn't fetch most recent messages. Ever since the last update (I'm completely up to date as of this review) the app doesn't fetch the most recent messages after I get the notification and go into the app to see/read what was sent. It worked perfectly fine until this recent update. Can't use it at all without constantly forcing a stop and then reopening the app. Super disappointed. Not cool to release an update that doesn't work. Might have to get my team switched to something else.

Didn't work. Can't view the slack workplace on mobile. Works fine on PC. Useless app for me unfortunately, wasted my time for 25 minutes. Edit: after contacting support, it's clear they have absolutely zero idea how the product works and cannot fix the issue. They did succeed in wasting more of my time though! If you're wondering if slack is a good piece of software, it isn't. It has no value. I suppose it may be better than Facebook. Kindly note that 1 star is the lowest score i can give.
