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. Check off your to-do list and move your projects forward 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 organize your conversations by topics, projects, 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 into your workflow, the tools and services you already use 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
• Customize your notifications so you stay focused on what matters
Scientifically proven (or at least rumored) to make your working life simpler, more pleasant, and more productive. We hope you’ll give Slack a try.

Ratings and Reviews
It's a good app but has some performance issues
The app is sometimes slow and becomes unresponsive.
I'm forced to use this app at work, otherwise, I'd remove it.
Although it has improved greatly some time ago, t's still NOT a Mac application. It's UI paradigm, its text-mechanism, and many other aspects - are just NOT MAC. It feels like a web-application forced on the Mac.
It is slow and unresponsive many times, even on a shiny monster i9 MBP made in 2020, with 32GB of RAM and 2TB SSD drive. That's simply unacceptable.
UI is both cumbersome and unintuitive - and it simply doesn't work many times. See you find anything you need in those zillions of "Channels" whatever the term should mean within this app.
I't support for many required behaviors (such as drag&drop, copy&paste, background/foreground transitions etc.) are rudimentary - or don't exist at all. Even simple clicks aren't handled correctly.
And as a courtesy surprise - it's also huge both on disk, in memory, and in the amount of frustration it brings the user.
There are dozens of messangers and "channel" supporting "groups/channels" as well - and beats me how this one got to be the "standard" in corporate-land.
I know only one to be worse - Microsoft Teams. And if they want a positive sample - the Telegram native Mac program is good.

Awesome application.
Just awesome. My team started working on a new project, and didn't have a chat to work with. I found this application, and this is the best UI I have ever seen. Thank you.
