Does slack have native clients yet? And by native I mean a native application not a thin wrapper for a browser.

Is there an inherent reason to dislike a thin wrapper around a web app? The Slack OS X app is that, but it doesn't have any problems that are caused by being a wrapped web app.

Yeah, the Android native version is amazing. I know there's an ios one too.

The Android version has not been amazing for me. It crashes several times a day, switching rooms is clumsy and slow, and the push notifications arrive minutes after I've already replied to a message, so the phone is constantly buzzing for things I've already replied.

Additionally, there's no native Windows client.
