Bored on Slack Reviews

Pros

You can set it to send notifications to a team whenever you want

Cons

Turning off notifications is not easy and Slack occasionally continues to send them which can become irritating for the team.

Pros

The randomness is the best part about BORED. The entire team comes together to engage on it and it's also refreshing for everyone who needs a quick mental break from work!

Cons

It could benefit from more customization options but overall its great

Pros

Easy-to-use Software, immensely helpful when it comes to large organizations

Cons

There is nothing negative to say about this software, everything operates smoothly and flawlessly.

Pros

The games are very fun, my team always play and enjoy! Bring us a lot of good time.

Cons

No cons!

Pros

Bored does have a full set of features that, to me, means 'complete'. There is an initial learning curve but once you are in and get a hang of it, also offers everything that you possibly expect from an engagement app so to speak.

Cons

The game selection is already extensive but adding more customization features and introducing new games would be a valuable enhancement. I view this more as a suggestion than a genuine drawback.

Pros

Its user interface is very easy to use. We can share all the information without having a doubt of security breach. Keeps people connected at workplace.

Cons

On rare occasions, there is a slight delay of a few seconds when sending a message but this happens infrequently. Aside from that minor issue, the tool works perfectly.

Pros

The app is quite simple actually, every day it sends a funny and interesting question to the channel you assign it to and people can chime in with replies. Our company uses it to keep interactions up in our #random channel. It is a good icebreaker for new and existing folks because the questions illicit responses that lead to more questions and funny stories.

Cons

Interest can fade over time especially during busy periods when people start ignoring it. However, I still notice occasional responses to the questions and it's always enjoyable when that happens.

Pros

Most helpful on bored on slack is keep employees engaged by making virtual games that make thier job more enticing and give everyone something to look forward to while at work!

Cons

Haven't come across anything bad

Pros

Whether working remotely or from the office, 'Bored on Slack' reminds us to take a break and get off the work we are working on. It is more than a simple quiz or game. Love beating office mates in every game.

Cons

I cannot think of any significant drawbacks. As a suggestion, introducing additional games like Pictionary or bingo could be entertaining. While Slack's limitations might prevent this, I believe more games similar to the existing ones could be developed.

Pros

I really appreciate the simplicity of this tool. The ability to have simple and mostly mindless games to play throughout the day is really great! I also love that it's inside Slack for convenience

Cons

Slack's constraints appear to limit Bored's full potential. The games are entertaining but they could be much more engaging without Slack's coding restrictions. Having more interactive, hands-on games would be an excellent improvement.
