Ratings and reviews

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.

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.

what on earth could you be doing that you won't support an older version of Android? given the choice of having to buy an entirely new phone or not having slack, a work app, on my phone, not having the app wins out. forcing obsolescence is not the way, but at least I'll be free of this all starting Sept 1 edit: and you can't even be bothered to actually read the negative reviews before auto posting asking users to contact you about the issue. no thanks
