Love it but constant updates create problems
The latest updates allow more functionality in “My Tasks”, now my issue is that dragging and dropping tasks into a specific order doesn’t work well on mobile. Tasks get jumbled up and the screen has to be refreshed several times before the correct order of the tasks shows. As you can imagine refreshing the screen 2-3 times before I can move a task is annoying and time consuming. Please fix this user experience on mobile.Show lessBrionté
Unable to reach tech support
We are a team of 2, and only one of us has access to the home page. We both had it for the first hour or so, then mine disappeared and has never returned. The live webinar was no help- they said to contact tech support. Tech support is just a series of articles and none apply to my situation. Tried deleting the app and reinstalling it, updating the app, updating my iPad Pro, search you tube videos, etc. I can never ever get to my Home Screen and now it’s a useless app. Shame because we were in love with it at first! If anyone has a way to help me, I’m listening! Thank you!Show lessTberrios1
Good but Needs Account Switching/Multiple Accounts Support
It needs a functionality similar to Gmail or Instagram where you can have (and monitor) separate accounts through the same app without having to log out and in.
I understand this is meant to happen through “Teams” and their different views, but linking two accounts this way is not always feasible (if one, for example, has two different and unrelated businesses both on Asana that one would rather not associate; or one account for personal tasks, goals, errands and another is given by one’s workplace and they have no reason to be mixed).Show lessGaardC
Love the app!
I use all the categories and features on the free version. There are 2 things that would make it even more amazing. The upcoming list would be cool if it were already sorted by date. You can get there with several clicks, but why not just set it up at from the start? 2. I used the repeat for all those habits I’m trying to build. I got a little carried away with sub tasks. So when I check off a repeat task with out checking off all the sub tasks, it adds all those sub tasks to a dark pit somewhere. My fix is to stop using the sub tasks and add the list to description. Or just change the date manually.Show lessZekeswheel
Love Asana, App needs work
I love Asana. It’s one of the best productivity web apps I’ve used, and I particularly love how they listen to feedback. However, their mobile app and iPad app definitely needs some functionality and interface upgrades.
For one, my team tends to check on individual member bandwidth via calendar view, but currently that’s not possible when viewing tasks for other team members, only your own tasks and projects.
Another is the inability to see the projects a task belongs to when just glancing at your task list. I have to select each task individually to see what project they belong to. It’s quite annoying especially since we use templates for our projects — so I end up with 4 tasks with the same name from different projects.
There’s just a lot more functionality and interface design in the Web App over the mobile and iPad app. I’m okay with the restrictions for mobile, but I just switched to working on an iPad and would love to see the app become a little more robust. Til then, I might just go on safari and use the web app on my iPad. Not ideal, but it’ll give me the functionality I need to use Asana effectively.Show lessKorean drama
Wanted to like this
I really wanted to like this app, but I need more control of the functions. For instance I need to be able to delete a task, and not simply archive it. I have no idea how to do that. I can archive it, but that’s not good enough because I need to be able to play around with it then delete it. Is there a reason the developers are retaining this I do not know. Great for the price though. There are other things I would like to be able to do as well. Thank you for the attempt. I’ll keep it just in case improvements are made.Show lessMrTimmy1969
Great but I wish it had Siri commands.
I used to use Apples built in reminders app. I loved it because I could tell Siri to add a reminder for me. But to better keep track of projects and collaborate I started using Asana. I’m not going to spend all that time adding the voice reminders from Siri to Asana by hand. But this old habit is dying hard and I often find myself half in Asana and half in reminder. I like this app and this system but if it had voice commands or audio notes instead of voice to text, I’d be all over it with 5 stars.Show lessmeltzerseltzer
New update makes App less mobile friendly
My small construction company has been using Asana for almost 6 years now and this most recent App update which made a pretty big overhaul on the Inbox which has made it almost useless while trying to work in the field. I do like the swipe to archive feature and that you can hide a task string in the inbox, but now that you can’t “like” a comment right in the inbox OR read a comment that is longer than about 10 words only slows down the entire experience. The whole point of the inbox is that you can quickly read through all of the things happening in the various tasks that you own or collaborate on and having to open the task every time to see what someone said or like the comment to let them know you read it or whatever really slows down the workflow, especially if my cell service is slow, and now I find myself waiting until I can sit down at a computer to go through my inbox which is slowing down my response time and causing my inbox to stack up to overwhelming proportions almost daily. Keep the update format, but bring back full comments and the “like” button in the inbox.Show lessHolyrandom
Please Revert
We have been using asana extensively to manage both tasks and communication throughout all branches of the company. It’s a lifeline and an extremely valuable tool! Since the newest update a week ago, the work efficiency has been effected significantly. Unread messages are condensed into a drop down accordion (good), but even when you click on the drop down arrow parts of the threads gets cut off and we have to click into every conversation to read the full thread (bad). This is very inconvenient due to the start-from-first formatting in asana, rather than starting from the last comment and scrolling back to historical comments. This means A LOT of scrolling, and creating new/duplicate tasks, just to reduce the amount of scrolling before arriving at the latest comments. The “like” 👍🏻 feature is also less useful now as messages get condensed.
We are using asana for very time sensitive updates and tasks. Some employees may receive thousands of updates per day through all the various projects. With the new update, this makes it very difficult to handle the higher volume collaboration that asana is such a great resource for!Show lessT.S.ing
Not very accommodating
In general, while this product is solid and useful, it could be much better if not for the ivory tower attitude of its developers. It’s fine if you’re willing to do things their way. But they don’t give you enough control over the user experience which Is littered with little annoyances that drag down the overall experience. For example, there appears no way to turn off the annoying splash screen in the iOS app that displays for a ridiculously long time. There’s pretty much zero opportunity to tailor it to your preferences or needs. I won’t be persuaded to pay for this app until there is. If you are evaluating this product, there is no obvious or easy way to ask questions or give feedback. (Sorry, help forums are not convenient. Convenient for the developer maybe, not the customer).Show lessStray Round
