Ratings and reviews

App does not retain a cache copy of your messages so if you do not have a good connection you will have trouble even reading things you previously loaded which is silly. As of recently it also started randomly clearing the chat box while you are still typing. For me it usually happens when I'm well into typing a large paragraph, which is inconvenient to say the least. For an app that people are supposed to rely on for their day-to-day business it sure is not very reliable

The mobile and desktop apps really need to be streamlined. Mobile notifications for messages I already read on desktop don't get cleared, so I end up having to read through and clear the redundant notifications on my phone. Not exactly a good use of time. I like Slack, but with the shift to work from home, I get more messages and notifications than ever, and this is getting really annoying.

Before this latest update the app worked generally well and I'd rate it at 4 stars but after this update something has gone haywire. The new version seems to have issues with syncing. I'll see that I have a message but I when go to the channel where the message is supposed to be it doesn't update to show the new messages at all. I have a Samsung s10.

What's new

What’s New
• Long channel names will now wrap in your sidebar, #instead-of-cutting-off-rando…
Bug Fixes
• Fixed: Tapping on a channel’s bookmarked links would result in an error message that “Something went wrong.” We hope that every time a link works henceforth, you will think to yourself, “Something went right.”
