Overall, I like Slack (beats tf out of MS Teams, but that’s an impossibly low bar), but the notification system is completely unreliable by default and extremely obtuse to configure. I’ve combed through every notification setting I can find, and it still fails almost more often than not. Because of this, Slack straight up does not work for a family chat.
The Android app is decent but pales in comparison to the desktop application. The app sometimes enters a state where it is impossible to change workspaces without restarting the app. And also sometimes will not recognize what a message has already been read, leaving you with a notification badge that you cannot get rid of of.
Update for 3-30-22 Was actually going to rate the app higher than my original review as September 2021 through January 2022 were mostly without incident and the app functioned as intended. The last 2 weeks however have completely removed that built up goodwill. Right back to it’s old ways of deleting photos in the cache, kicking you out of keyboard and speak to text UI’s, and consuming battery too quickly. I hate it. It has been detrimental to my work.
Fairly frustrating Mobile app. When there are new messages, the channel jumps to the top by design, sometimes it doesn’t make that jump and simply disappears. Huddles and calls are often missed if I don’t accept on the first half of the first ring. Desktop slack is a fantastic collab tool. App slack is frustrating at best.
