Workplace Communications
AnC.Really?!
I love slack. I started using slack in January for my job, as our communications channel, between team members. This app has never caused me any problems. It’s NEVER: crashed, logged me out unexpectedly, had any technical problems, deleted any of my channels, failed in posting, or any other problems.This app is reliable, always functioning, never disappoints with the reactions and features to customize for your job specific needs, and in all ways shapes and form been hands down 100% real time. I love how i can change my profile picture, name, workplace info, choose privacy and notification settings, can set myself as away, and all my notifications come in once I’m active, have a dark mode enabled (this saves my tired eyes first thing in the morning) and an all the way around fun place to communicate with others.I don’t leave many reviews, and this is one of the only ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews I’ve left. Thank you for everything your team and developers have done to streamline our success. You’re amazing!
One Step Forward, Two Steps Back for iPad
RufHaus71
The recent iPad App update misses the mark quite considerably. In some ways, it is almost as if Slack doesn’t understand its users. No longer easy to see all unread messages in one place - which was a feature I regularly requested for the desktop app. Now, the iPad app has been turned to be quite bland. Seems like the “Dark Mode” folks won the design argument; as the new app no longer supports the desktop or web app color themes; which now makes the iPad app incredibly difficult to know at a glance which team you’re viewing. Also frustrating are the 3 or so “Unread Direct Messages” you can see, when you tap “Show All” it takes you to the “Direct Messages” sidebar that sorts in its own way, with unreads strewn about. Also, Direct message addresses are much harder to read; too much text all clumped together. Unfortunate for the iPad app, Slack has taken a once very useful version (preferred as a second screen in some cases over the desktop app) and made it into a giant iPhone app. The iPhone app now also suffers from this Direct Message unread messages “Show All” problem. The only way to return some of the missing sort and see all DMs on the iPad app is to select the sort option of “by recent” but it does not group unreads. 7 years using Slack, and this is by far the most disappointing iPad app “upgrade.” Repackage the desktop app for the iPad and call it “Slack Pro” for iPad Pro users who use their iPad in place of a laptop.
Implement a feature that allows NDA signers to use Slack safely on a personal mobile device.

Authentication portals do not immediately or consistently appear upon opening the Slack app. It would be helpful to implement a feature that allows NDA signers to use Slack safely on a personal mobile device. It would also be beneficial to allow users to choose at what stage in the app the portals appear and what data needs to be protected and encrypted. Also found myself wishing to include different if/then/else modular scripts for the user to create a broader spectrum of security for Slack overall. One possibility could be encrypting data in the cloud and preventing mobile devices from storing any files or confirmed delivered messages from a not-yet-encrypted interaction sent via the App.Additionally, it would be helpful to add an accessibility feature that allows users to change the width of the scroll bar [for Desktop App] either by hovering over it and resizing it or by changing the width manually. Another useful feature would be a scrolling sensitivity setting that overrides Windows scroll settings while in the app but reverts back to Windows settings upon closing/minimizing Slack. Particularly for Desktop users: This would be particularly helpful for users whose mouse wheel has stopped functioning and need to quickly but thoroughly skim through several days’ worth of messages and posts. Implementing a workaround while waiting for equipment replacement or for Microsoft to address security procedure would be greatly appreciated."

Bug Fixes
• Tapping "View in Browser" on remote files added via API was appending a "/" at the end of the URL, effectively breaking the link. Let us never underestimate the power of one small character to topple even the most complex systems.
• Batch image uploads were broken in canvases, forcing you to upload one at a time. Sometimes it's rewarding to take the slower, more deliberate path toward accomplishing a goal — mindfully connecting with each individual element and savoring the satisfaction. Sometimes you just need to upload 20 photos at once. This was the latter.
