What do you like best?
I love how simple and clean the interface is while also being hearty enough to house several different areas for discussion and meetings.
What do you dislike?Nothing! Twist has met all of my criteria for a good platform so far.
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?It’s a little smoother and nicer to look at than past clients
What do you like best?
The standard notification settings are very well organized, I get notified for each new message, and even if I don't check the message in that moment, it still gets left "unread". It is very easy to keep track of what has been said in conversations since I last looked at the app. It somehow manages to work well for instant messaging as well as messaging that does not need to be addressed right away. I have not found an app before this one that has been able to do that.
What do you dislike?Sometimes it's difficult to discern the purpose of having a separate channel vs just starting a new thread. We have channels set for certain topics but it almost seems not necessary when we can just start a new thread with the appropriate people.
Recommendations to others considering the productGreat app alternative to emailing
What business problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?We have been able to more effectively communicate, with messages getting to the appropriate people in a reasonable amount of time. On other apps that we had used before, a message would be sent, and because of complicated notification settings, it would get lost in the shuffle. And in previous apps, if you wanted to see what you missed, you would have to do a lot of scrolling back.
With Twist, the app keeps track of what you've read and what you haven't, so you don't miss what needs to be read/

The best part of twist is that it has "sub-channels" under each main channel, so the flow of content won't be a big mass. You can have as many topics ("threads" as you want, so your team can have separate channels for every project (even under each client for example. That's a real innovation in team communication.
What do you dislike?At the moment, integrations. They're working on that so the pool of integrations is growing.
