Hey there!
We’re nearing the end of an unexpectedly long and winding road towards an official Windows Phone app for Slack. There have been many false starts and discarded dreams — you may have actually used one or more of those attempts! — but we think we have something nearly Slack-worthy for real this time. We’re launching a beta of our new Windows Phone app and we’d love it if you’d join us. This is a beta, so the standard warnings of “here be dragons” apply. This is a roundabout way of saying that we need your feedback, which you can provide by replying to this email or choosing the “feedback” link in the app (you’ll find it under Settings -> About).
We’ve posted a list of known bugs at https://slack-files.com/T024BE7LD-F08UPP1DJ-4b526e6cbe. We’ll update it as we knock bugs down and add ones to the list that we plan to fix before a wider release.
Phew! That was a lot of words. If you are interested in participating in this Beta, please add your Live ID to our Windows Phone Beta Sign-up form at https://slackhq.wufoo.com/forms/slack-windows-phone-beta-signup/. Please note it can take up to 7 days to receive your invitation.
Thanks! We’ll be in touch when we have more updates to share.
-The team at Slack
