These summaries are automatically generated weekly using AI based on recent user reviews. Chrome Web Store does not verify user reviews, so some user reviews may be inaccurate, spammy, or outdated.
Pros
  • For a chromebook it's an excellent and light solution
  • Can be configured to open as a window or add a desktop shortcut
  • Functional as a bookmark to Slack
Cons
  • Just a link to the Slack website, not a standalone app
  • Does not send notifications or allow for multitasking between workspaces
  • Unable to uninstall the extension for some users
Most mentioned
  • Simply a hyperlink or bookmark, not a real application
  • Lacks features like notifications and seamless workspace switching
  • Disappointment due to unmet expectations of a standalone Chrome app
  • Inability to use Slack's call and screen sharing features on Chrome OS
  • Comparatively less useful and efficient than the actual web version or dedicated apps on other operating systems

I expected it will be the real application, but... If i select option "Open in separate window" and make a desktop shortcut, it will open as popup window. This is enough for me
