★ Terrible UI …account. Another set of hoops I have to jump through when Slack automatically signs me out. Logging back in through google’s interface doesn’t get you into your slack account under the same Google email either, so you have to log in through slack’s interface into that same email v26.09.20 · 2026-09-13
★ Slack disregards do not rate App Store setting …communication app out there. That said, it is buggy. Many bugs stay with it forever. I'm still waiting for them to fix the notification on my phone that says there's a new Slack message after I've already handled it on my computer. v26.09.40 · 2026-09-24
★ Terrible quality for a paid app Looks like this is a forgotten app nobody supports. There are bugs that stay there for years and nobody fixes them. For example, from time to time a new message into a thread doesn’t get sent and just disappear… v26.09.20 · 2026-09-15
What Slack users are asking for
- And I wish it integrated with our other programs more effectively 3★
- One piece of feedback: I wish you could easily mark the newest messages in a channel as unread, because I like to check all messages just to have them in the back of my mind but not necessarily attend to the requests or 4★
- Activity should include what i sent as well so i can quickly get back to a thread I responded to. 3★
