I have just been tasked with finding something similar for a girls softball team. WhatsApp was my first thought. Is it working well for the team?
From what I know about it, this seems like a perfect use for the app. Its like a private message board for the current culture, where people don't use message boards and want to communicate 100% through messaging on their phones.
I tend to think something like SLACK would be better for that use case. As I understand it, WhatsApp is pretty much just an instant messenger.
Yep. Also pretty useful when I go to one of the local casinos that has the poker room in the basement. There's virtually no cell service but there is wifi available.
Slack was my first thought, but if they don't have it set up already there is the cost and implementation to think about. You could also use Microsoft Teams depending on if that is easier to setup/manage.
I had Slack for about an hour at my old company before they laid me off. It seemed a little more complicated. Would people who aren't tech savvy be able to use Slack?
This is what I was thinking it was. This sounds like a good thing.

We are using GameChanger for actual team-type stuff... we just need something for the girls to have a Group Chat on because some of them claim they can not join the regular SMS group chat because they have iPhonesbelljr said:
We use Slack in a service based blue collar environment and it has been an absolute game changer with ridiculously high adoption, even from our known Luddites. Set up a #general or #offtopic channel for fun stuff for them as well. Great teambuilder for dispersed teams as well.TheIronSheik said:
I am in a dynasty football league that refuses to use a traditional message board... and the MFL message board is basically useless... so we use Slack. It works good, when people actually use it.
It will work but TeamSnap is better, not sure if that’s free or not. I use it but not the coach or anything. But I like that teamsnap can sync to calendar and you can have people add their availability for each game (going / not going)Jaysus said:
I had to install it when we started doing business with a company in Korea. Works good for what it is, have used it to call/text/trade pics etc. Was handy when we went there this year and had to contact them for a ride. Was the easiest way to get a hold of them.The Iguana said:
Have used Teamsnap and seems to do the job, although started to get bloated with ads and such. Only thing I have used Gamechanger for was actually scoring the baseball game, not tracking scheduling or anything.We are using GameChanger for actual team-type stuff... we just need something for the girls to have a Group Chat on because some of them claim they can not join the regular SMS group chat because they have iPhones
Not compressing memes seems to he high on the priority list.
P.S. I can not stand Gamechanger or TeamSnap... but TeamSnap is WAY better IMO
Strange ... it's working for me.
