Ratings and reviews

There's a bug where a user tries to reply a message from the notification bar when a message comes in. Once you type the quick reply and hit send, it gets stuck there like the message isn't delivering and the loading icon keeps spinning endlessly. Meanwhile, if you open the app to foreground, you'll see that the message was actually sent. This is happening on Android 11 (Samsung A12). Please fix it, it's actually been there for a very long time even on Android 10 on other devices I've used.

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.
