SLINGR for Slack

What do you like best?

Slingr for Slack is an excellent interface for communicating with colleagues in the office and out. I am able to message a single person or a whole group of people that I can group together whenever needed. Everyone in my office has a Slack account with the app, so we are all notified if an emergency meeting is about to happen or if someone is needed in another place of the building. Morning announcements are sent out this way and it makes a great environment for communication. It's features include having a much more organized To-Do list and notifications than just the Slack app alone.

What do you dislike?

I don't have anything to comment negatively on for this program. It runs smoothly, barely has any "off-time" to update, and is very reliable. I love how easy this is for everyone in the office to use regardless of their age.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

I cannot say enough great things about this program. It is well worth the price and makes the workplace so much easier to function in . I no longer have to keep up with sticky notes or having people leave papers on my desk with notes that I will most definitely lose. If you have an office with more than 20-30 people, you need Slack. You will never have to struggle to communicate again.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

Our office is more connected, despite how far apart we can be. Slack also eliminates the need for emails to let someone know they have a deadline, which can easily clog up your inbox. This will automatically notify you if someone assigned you to do something and then automatically put it in your to-do list. Slingr is quick and easy and gets the job done perfectly. It has something called a "To-Do Bot" that can remind you to do certain things at certain times (such as reminding you to give a file to a colleague at a certain time of the day) and does so flawlessly.
