Teamwork

This tool has the best deal in combining several ways of managing projects, initiatives or tasklists. Either you like and need gantt charts or want to start with a simple checklist: you’re covered. Nested subtasks support every detail-freak. The API let‘s you do everything; combined with web hooks: endless power. Customer support has always been great!

Email integration for those who still rely on it is nice to help with changing habits.

Slack runs the risk of getting bloated like Evernote did.

We're a team of 15+ and have been using Teamwork Chat for well over a year now (having switched from using Slack). Overall we are very happy with it and love the fact it stores our entire chat history.

Really useful for keeping in touch with work and escaping a full email inbox

I love this app and the whole TeamWork. We cannot imagine our work without these two!

This has been great for improving communication within our team and with our clients.

I love paste functionality.

Needs volume control for notifications, and a lot more settings for notifications and other things too.

Need to be able to create a new message faster.

Need to be able to filter/choose a message and start typing faster, preferably all while on the keyboard.

The next things are more minor, but I think important down the road.

Need more options on the message bar to make features obvious.

Maybe add ability to type out code (copy paste works great).

Need a link to a feature list or tutorial for new users to explain all the possible things you can do.

This may be just a personal opinion, but in the UI, a channel and a conversation are too similar. Given that their features are very similar as well, if they serve different purposes then I think it would be best to somehow highlight their differences by not having them filtered and sorted in the exact same way just in a different tab. In general, I'm not sure about the 3 tab system - or maybe I just need it to be better explained. I spend 99% of my time in the conversations tab.
