Description
Slack brings team communication and collaboration into one place so you can get more work done, whether you belong to a large enterprise or a small business. Tick off your to-do list and make progress on your projects by bringing the right people, conversations, tools and information you need together. Slack is available on any device, so you can find and access your team and your work whether you’re at your desk or on the go.
Use Slack to:
• Communicate with your team and organise your conversations by topic, project or anything else that matters to your work
• Message or call any person or group within your team
• Share and edit documents and collaborate with the right people, all in Slack
• Integrate the tools and services you already use into your workflow, including Google Drive, Salesforce, Dropbox, Asana, Twitter, Zendesk and more
• Easily search a central knowledge base that automatically indexes and archives your team’s past conversations and files
• Customise your notifications so you stay focused on what matters
Scientifically proven (or at least rumoured) to make your working life simpler, more pleasant and more productive. We hope you’ll give Slack a try.

What’s New
Version 24.10.50
Bug fixes
• Those using our Catch Up widget with app icons set to Tinted mode were unable to catch much of anything since text was rendered the same color as the background. There is a place for white-on-white composition (Suprematist paintings, certain Beatles records ... ), but the widget is not one of them.
Ratings and Reviews
Still has issues
The good part is the amount of integrations, and shortcuts that make it easy to use.
Slack was the pioneer in making organizational communication efficient and retiring the ever cumbersome email.
When I started using it, 4 years ago, I could forgive slack for the glitches in the product, however 4 years later, some major things were not fixed and I’m afraid they never will be:
Notifications pop up but the message is not yet displayed in the channel for up to 20 seconds.
Delay in notifications, and notifications that are supposed to show up, never do.
Also it is impossible to sort the mobile side bar to display channels and DMs according to the most recent activity which means that it’s hard track back recent messages that you’ve already read.
Hope it’ll be fixed before WhatsApp come up with a flawless organizational communication app…
Why are the profile pictures in the home tab gone?
This is something g very useful in desktop but it's still unavailable in the mobile app even though one of the previous updates specified it to be added.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for sharing this feedback with us. We'll let the mobile team know you found those avatars useful. For now, they're still visible on the DMs tab.
Missing basic functionality that the competitors have
1. When someone is sharing the screen, it doesn’t show it on iPad for some reason
2. Unable to share my screen on iPad, even though I can on Google Meet and Zoom.
3. The camera shows a weird vertical crop, while the other side actually sees me fine, horizontally.
4. Center Stage is not supported. (Even though Zoom and Meet already do).
In the days where we rely more on virtual communication, It would be nice is Slack could stop falling behind the alternatives when it comes to video calls and meetings. Especially on mobile devices and tablets.
Developer Response ,
Thank you for reaching out and sharing your feedback with us. We'll share your thoughts with the mobile team. We're listening closely and we appreciate the candour.
