Ratings and Reviews
Great app
Wish it was a bit faster. But its not bad.
Feature request:
In-slack Video and Voice messages. Sometimes I want to share screen and explain things not live. ATM I have to use an external tool and add a file, would be nice to use the same slack live video interface with the share screen features but be able to save it for on demand consumtion, it will save me time having to arrange live meetings.
Technical issues hinder the experience
As a collaborative app this is up there with the best. However there are some annoying bugs. One is that the app will sometimes utilise extremely high CPU usage, even when idle. Right before I wrote this review, Slack was using 90% of my 2015 MBP's i7 CPU! When I quit the app, the fans turned off entirely! Even Chrome doesn't do that unless I really push it. The second major bug I've noticed is the pen tool during video calls. When drawing on the screen, our doodles can often show up twice in two different areas of the screen. This is frustrating when all we're trying to do is circle or underline something.
Developer Response ,
Sorry to hear about these issues! We'd be happy to take a look and help out wherever we can if you wouldn't mind dropping us a line at feedback@slack.com, or by clicking Help - Troubleshooting - Report Issue from the menu bar at the top of your computer screen.
Great for company, group and individual chats
Slack provides you with the ability to have company-wide chats (not recommended for medium or large companies), team chats, group chats with people from different teams or companies and chats between individuals. It is as secure as you make it, so be aware of the chat group settings.
I found it easy to use and the Support staff were very responsive and helpfu: 5/5.
