Wouldn't say that IRC has the same exact functionality as Slack. But the Slack mobile app does, and it runs far better than the desktop version (starts up in 3 seconds on a low-powered device instead of 30 on a much faster machine).
- EdiX 8y agoI've read this opinion a few times and at one point (before trying mobile slack) I believed it. Is this true for iPhone users maybe? I've used slack on mobile and I find it worse than the desktop version. It starts slightly faster (10 seconds vs. almost 20) but navigating through channels is bad (and slower) and threads are completely unusable. It also runs my device hot like nothing else. The faster startup speed isn't a big victory for me because it's still a factor of 10 away from what I would consider acceptable. The "best" interface for slack, IMHO, is the web version, provided that you are already using Chrome.
