It’s a bit buggy

Love using the software and web version .. but the iPad running on a iPad mini is a bit buggy.

When entering a card from a board the ‘back’ button does not work . There is no way of getting back to your board other than restarting the app.

In fact done of the menu options at the top of screen respond at all!

Unusable compared to desktop version

Literally unusable when compared to the desktop version. They make sheet rows into two lines, which makes them unreadable, and to edit any value you have to open the row as a poorly laid out full screen interface, then scroll to and tap in the field a second time.
Please put more thought into the usability of the mobile layout.

As bad as Safari browser experience

I downloaded the iPad app expecting it to work better than their web version does in Safari but it suffers from most of the same UI issues and is unusable. Pop up menus won’t close, sub panes can’t be resized, and even worse than the website - there’s no way to refresh the page to reset the UI. Since the last app update was a year ago, it appears they’ve abandoned the effort. Not a good look for a hungry company trying to establish itself in the market!

Bugs

1.Scroll down in the sprints view doesn’t work so you cannot see all your task.

2. Ejem you change from collection it shows you cards from other collection . You need close the app and open again.

3. The backlog is unusable as it doesn’t allows you to see sub cards.

4. There is no search option to find other collections.

So close....

I use Favro for personal planning, since I am able to stack timelines of varying length to allow me to easily plan from long-term to weekly tasks. I mostly use the browser version , which has a great user interface and looks great in NightEye’s dark mode in Chrome.

That being said, the inability to touch the timeline and create a new task is frustrating. I have to pre-stage blank tasks, and if I forget to do that, I am writing things down and adding them to the timeline later.

Additionally, would be great to see it have its own native dark mode, so that I can use all the colors for my timelines, and the text doesn’t get washed out.

Not bad, but needs ui changes

Firstly, it’s usable. Which is awesome.
But really, it’s UI on the iPad is poor.
Favro does not allow for natural touch interaction, meaning when you think you can pan or scroll, you can’t.

Examples:

1. it’s really easy to drag cards around when you think you’re panning or swiping. Which really messes things up when you have a board that is full of tasks that have been placed in their correct categories. If you’re on a project and you’d this, it can get you in trouble by the planners and project leads.
(Adding a touch and hold gesture to this would help, when you hold you can move a card, otherwise if you’re not holding, you can pan or scroll).

2. It’s a nightmare trying to find the scrollbars so you can move up and down in the collections panel. (Thicken up the scrollbars or by changing the touch and hold should fix it)

App Awful! Desktop amazing

Why why why is your app so bad? I do love your desktop program but if it’s impossible to use your app, then I can’t retrieve the info on the fly and it’s useless. Please please please tell me why you would have a bad app that is unusable this day and age and with all the marketing efforts!!!! Am I missing something????

ipad app crashes

Impossible to download images from comment to IOS photos album, the app just crashes. This is a bug the developers should be able to reproduce easily.

iPad and iPhone apps are unusable

The Favro website is good. Overall I find the Favro service too complex. Trello is much more straight forward. Jira and MS Teams are more feature rich. Coda and Monday have similar services and better mobile apps. The main features I find missing are personal dashboards and custom personal views of Boards and Backlogs.

Specifically the mobile apps are busted, unorganized, and poorly maintained. If you’re in a meeting you’ll need a laptop to triage. Right now there is a bug where menus don’t close. You need to force quit the app to regain control. I’ve been checking back on the mobile apps for over a year and there have been changes but no improvements.

Nice solution but app is laggy

The Favro product is very nice and we are in the process of moving from a combo of Trello/Teamworks Projects to Favro.

That said, the iPad app is oddly laggy. I’m on the latest iPad Pro and nothing else is like this. The screen has lots of mini lock ups and takes a few seconds to release each time but they collectively add up to a frustrating experience. Luckily logging in to the web version via Safari works well so we have abandoned the app for now but will check back.

5 stars for Favro as a product though. Above rating is for the app.
