### 2/5 — It’s ok

*2026-08-26, version 26.08.30*

It’s ok

### 4/5 — Chile

*2026-08-26, version 26.08.30*

Helps me keep in touch with housemates.

### 3/5 — Lacks ways to organize messages

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

Messages cannot so easily be organized it is hard to locate certain things. I think it needs improvement

### 2/5 — Slack is a Black Hole

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

The S in Slack supposedly stands for Searchable. But damned if I can find a freaking thing. For a group more than 10 over more than a couple years with many, many subjects and threads, Slack is as useful as a box of mismatched DVDs and 20,000 notes written on the backs of receipts.

### 2/5 — Aye ya! Not good

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

Why can I never find anything again? Searches, even with terms that should be straight forward go nowhere. 
It’s generally the experience of a labyrinth when I need efficient communication.

### 4/5 — Good comms app

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

Overall fine with some room for improvements especially with huddle feature

### 4/5 — At least it’s not Teams

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

Does the job. Owned by salesforce. Work is work.

### 5/5 — Excellent business communication resource

*2026-08-24, version 26.08.30*

Slack has proven to be the best in communications with employees and other business entrepreneurs. Everything can be organized and found quickly which is needed in today's world.

### 5/5 — Chief commercial officer

*2026-08-24, version 26.08.30*

Amazing tool.  So much better than Teams.  Sorry Microsoft!

### 1/5 — Trashy Service

*2026-08-24, version 26.08.30*

Clearly an AI platform because it doesn’t work. This is probably the worst workplace app I’ve used. Rarely send me notifications at the right time. Replying in thread is one of the most painful ways to keep track of a conversation. Browser version it awful and fails to load on the regular. If I could ban Slack in the US, I would.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Terrible app layout

*2026-08-26, version 26.08.30*

Everything is Impossible to find. It's too crammed with content. It is NOT user friendly. It took forever for me to figure out where our "menu" was located, and every other student as well. It's visually UNATTRACTIVE. I would NEVER. use this if it weren't required.

### 1/5 — Notifications are never dependable

*2026-08-26, version 26.08.30*

Thumbs down

### 1/5 — Slack is hell

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

Total chaos. Nobody knows where to post what. Anything that goes in is virtually lost. I can’t think of any experience that would be worse than Slack search.

### 1/5 — It works well but I deeply hate it

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

Why would anyone like this app?

Totally functional but makes 9-5 become 24hrs

### 1/5 — AI slop

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

Trash

### 1/5 — Notifications don’t work

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

I have fought slack for years. I would abandon it if I could.

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2026-08-25*

It is messy, confusing, overwhelming. The different forums, chats, conversations, groups, etc make it a big mess. Hate it.

### 1/5 — Not user friendly

*2026-08-25, version 26.08.30*

It should be easier to create channels and find them

### 1/5 — Hate it.

*2026-08-24, version 26.08.30*

This is the worst software that I have experienced. The confusion. The loss of conversation threads, and the oversimplification of business comms. 

I will never introduce this tool to a business or team.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-08-24, version 26.08.30*

The app itself works great but you are letting a lot of scamming companies on here making it believable and think that they are real companies.
