1. As of recently I hate having to heavily rely on this as the main communication my work uses, when sending messages it often freezes and the app crashes, meaning I have to either pre-type what I want to say in a text message and then copy and paste in sling messages or I have to re-type sometimes several times.
2. It's fine for employees - they can see their schedule and send and receive messages without revealing everyone's personal phone numbers.
3. Our employees rely heavily on these, and it's a pretty epic fail every time these are reset without notificationI've had it for 4 years because my job uses the app and I don't think it's been updated in that time.
4. We have had MANY instances where Sling stops working without notice, or it will reset everyone's settings or notifications randomly after updates.
5. Our staff love its versatility, the way they can offer up a shift they need out of and trade shifts with their coworkers, as well as, as managers we have to approve the switch and are always in the loop.
6. Otherwise it doesn't show messages, goes into infinite load screens, or won't send messages to others.
7. My staff chat on Sling about all things work related and not work related.
8. I also don't get other messages until later in the day.The service sling provides is great.
9. Employees can swap shifts without having to run it by me, but I can still see the shift trades.
10. This app makes it easy to schedule, easy to see and easy to change shifts.
11. My notifications show up when my actual phone notifies me but I open the app and they are nowhere to be found.
