Bored on Slack Reviews & Product Details

The randomness is the best part about BORED. The entire team comes together to engage on BORED and it's also refreshing for everyone who needs a quick mental break from work! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The lack of customisation is something that can be worked upon. Also, you end up repeating the same games after a point and the surprise element is lost in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can set it to send notifications to a team whenever you want Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not easy to turn off notifications. Sometimes slack continues to send notifications, annoying for the team.

Doesn't work well if other team members are in remote time zones Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does get stale at one point as people start to ignore it as the days get busy. But occasionally, I find people respond to the questions, and it's fun when that happens! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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, Bored offers everything that you possibly expect from an engagement app so to speak. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The options are plenty when it comes to the games. If Bored adds an ability to customise more and adds more games, that would be an added advantage, overall I don't think this qualifies as a dislike but rather a suggestion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The 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! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some employees take advantage of this incentive, and instead of working, they play games which should only be done in their free time. I would like to see improvements like allowing s to block this feature when the employees should be working and not playing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I really appreciate the simplicity of Bored. 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 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I've found that Slack seems to limit the true potential of Bored. The games are fun, but it seems like there could be a lot more to them without the coding limits of slack. If we could have games that are more hands-on, that would be awesome! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Can't recall anything worthy of dislike. But as a suggestion, more games like Pictionary or bingo might be fun. These might not be possible due to limitation on Slack but I am pretty sure, there can be more games like the ones already present. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy-to-use Software, immensely helpful when it comes to large organizations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike about this software; everything works in a smooth and refined manner Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the fun games that Bored provides. They can certainly be a welcome distraction from an intense and stressful work day. The automation and simplicity make the perfect tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find the function of the games to be somewhat confusing at times. The games provided can be a bit hard to follow, especially within a channel and it can make it difficult to actually have a good time playing the game. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Sometimes the message takes few seconds to appear upon sending, that is very rare but yeah thats the only thimg I dislike. Rest the tool is perfect Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
