Ratings and reviews

You must have a phone no older than 3 years old or they lock you out. I have over 300 popular apps on my phone and this is the ONLY one that doesn't work. My phone is still very nice. I'm not going to update it for one app. It's inexcusable for an app as integral to business workflows as Slack to kill support for past Android versions so quickly.

Team or group communication is quick and cleanly organized when you use slack. The extended feature set is nice, such as reminders, but mostly I use this for the basics. Search has gotten pretty good and notifications have been mostly reliable in recent years, though there are still occasional hiccups when you are both in the app and have a browser tab open, even if one is backgrounded. Best of all, the app is pretty low impact on battery life and system performance.

I definitely haven't had any issues using Slack, except for the occasional times where it won't send me a notification when it should, but that's not a big deal. However I think Discord is better than Slack in every way, and is free. Losing my message history after 30 days is really dumb. Discord manages to keep all messages forever, for free. Again, app is fine, but there are better options that don't cost any money.
