There are better alternatives » Asana, Trello, Post-it Notes

I’m sorry, but this app is just no good. Maybe eight years ago, it was useable but compared to what’s available - Redbooth doesn’t come close to Asana, Trello, Wrike, heck even Post-it notes.

It could be so much better.

This app lacks so much parity with the browser. There is no way to enter a carriage return for multi line comments. You can move a task to another list but not to another workspace like you can in the browser. App also has bugs where you can’t comment and need to close the task and reopen to enter a comment.

I pretty much only use this app as a reader. If I need to do anything useful this app doesn’t do it.

Best way to stay organized

Stay on top of all tasks and only assign them to people as needed. If you have a lot of tasks, this is what you’ve been looking for.

Us the Web App Instead.

The UI for the iPhone and iPad are so poor as to be unusable. The Mac OS, with UI close to the web, is too buggy to use consistently. Forget the apps and use the web.

No Timeline View

Why is there no timeline view like on the web app and desktop?? This is a major reason I use Redbooth.

IOS app

I am not overly enthusiastic of its IOS app. It’s not great but Redbooth as a project management software is very nice on web browsers.
The Zoom integration HD meeting app also got changed and now it time limit is for 60 minutes. It’s frustrating too!

No 2FA/MFA TOTP

It’s mid 2020... any service that doesn’t provide at minimum 2FA SMS is disqualified from being a vendor for us. We had a contractor bring this tool to us but because of the lack of reasonable and expected security features, we cannot use it.

This app makes it so easy to manage multiple projects!

Love this software.

Dark mode is a mess

Love Redbooth and love the app until one of the more recent updates which supposedly supported dark mode. It’s a complete mess. More screens that are wonky looking on unreadable to count. Not sure it was actually tested before release...

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback and we understand your concerns. The new iOS app still has plenty of exciting features that will be released progressively over the coming weeks. Workspace view will be available in mid-April. However, chat will not be available on the new app. Please take a look here to see other planned features: https://redbooth.com/help/using-redbooth/ios-app/ If you encounter any issue with the app, please contact us directly at support@redbooth.com and we will be happy to help you out.

Still missing features like time tracking!

Extremely frustrating that this app, after years, still doesn’t have time tracking despite the fact that it’s a key feature on one of the paid tiers. If we’re going to have to upgrade to get time tracking, it should at least be available across platforms. If you’re a consultant or work in any role with clients and want to quickly log time while you work or while you’re meeting with clients, you have no choice but to use a different system or open up your laptop to start a timer.
