Unlike the Threads feature that Slack added later to its product, Twist is built around the idea of threads. So you may have a \#product channel, but you can have more specific discussion by creating threads within (e.g. "2.0 marketing", "Crashing bug when swipe to delete") each channel. > > **Cons**: I think it tries a little too hard to be non-intrusive (versus its competitor Slack), and its default notification settings makes it likely to miss a lot of messages especially if you're transiting from Slack. ----- ### "Helps with managing projects using Threads" — 4.0/5 > **Nicole** | *February 28, 2018* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Twist is one of the best communication tool. It helps with creating new threads for each new projects. We can add different team members to different projects. Managing communication is easier in Twist as it stores all data into the cloud database. All contacts can be stored and personal messages can be sent. ----- ### "You can tell it's still new. Needs a lot of work" — 3.0/5 > **Robby** | *September 19, 2018* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10 > > **Pros**: OK, the app is a great tool, but far from a Slack killer. The interface is clean. The threads are easily organized. > > **Cons**: Lack of integration into any other systems (I would rather they focus on integrating with Slack than trying to replace it.) Very poor editing tools. It's really hard to format anything in a post. Images are not supported (Inline or as attachments). ----- ### "Great communication and chatting application" — 4.0/5 > **Jeremy** | *February 28, 2018* | Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Twist is a new product in the market yet but helps a lot with communicating with friends. It has great features like integrating with google documents. > > **Cons**: Helps with sending quick messages. Allow people to join our channels to be part of a discussion. team members can be invited and added to various channels. ----- ### "Helps with collaboration" — 4.0/5 > **Alan** | *February 28, 2018* | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Twist helps me with collaborating with my team members for various important discussions. It helps creating channels and discussion panels. > > **Cons**: User interface is easy but sometimes the messages does not deliver immediately. Seems the issue with latest version of Twist. ----- Page: 1 / 3\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.ca/software/110717/twist?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.ca/software/110717/twist) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
