Ratings and reviews

Love that you can turn off notifs in a way that politely lets others know that you are off the clock & unavailable. My one complaint is the way it moves a message you're typing into your drafts if you accidentally swipe away from the channel, turn off your screen, briefly leave the app, or even sometimes change your screen orientation. Such a pain to have to either re-type or go find a message when multitasking. The drafts are weird too, you end up w/ so many but can only delete one at a time.

Update: support reached out and later and fixed 1 &2, ty! #3 is still an issue. --- The android app has been consistently introducing bugs. 1. Threads don't load, I see "15 replies" but the actual thread may load only one or two messages. 2. The search can't find my channels, or I go through periods of time seeing an alert that blocks the search saying "network error". 3. Clicking on push notifications of a message rarely takes me to that message.

It was fine until my work consolidated multiple accounts into one after acquisitions. Now, the app is constantly crashing. I can't have it open for more than a minute before it closes with no warning at all. No error messages, no crash reporting, just suddenly I'm staring at whatever was open last. I'm lucky if I can even send a single message. Very disappointed.
