Hard to use
I find this app to be extraordinarily outdated difficult to use and navigate. It’s not intuitive. The icon looks like it needs an update. It’s terrible. It looks like an Atari game.

Absolute garbage
This used to be a great project management platform but the latest round of updates they forced on everyone this year made the app and platform overall essentially unusable. We’ll be looking for alternatives. Do not recommend.

I feel like I’ve lost a loved one.
I run a (somewhat notable) UX and product design studio. We’ve used basecamp as a team since BC3, but I myself have used it off and on since basecamp 1 and the Highrise days. Basecamp 5 truly is heartbreaking. It feels like they spent ~two decades fine tuning their product and then, perhaps at a tyrannical CEO’s whim, decided to gut it and reassemble it into a Jackson Pollock. The home page, once a calm and orderly portal to your work, is now noisy on the right and filled with random utility buttons on the left. The bottom nav is less intuitive than the BC4 nav. There’s still a lack of capability to plan out one’s individual work for the week. Todos and kanban/card table tasks are still inexplicably separate types of objects rather than being two views of the same object, which they really are. And, there’s still very limited timeline functionality with the anemic “lineup” which has been shoved away in a corner. Hint - if users aren’t using one of your features, it doesn’t automatically mean they don’t want it; it may mean you haven’t built enough for it to be useful. The worst part of all of this is the change is foisted onto users with no choice, and feedback to basecamp largely seems to fall on deaf ears with a “we know better” attitude or dismissive “we’ll think about this for BC6 in a few years”. The switch to BC5 feels like we’ve lost an old friend and sadly we are working to move on to another tool - which in itself is a feat.

The app freezes on iPhone
I’ve already provided this feedback and you can go to Reddit to see that the mobile app is slow, it freezes and causes the phone to heat up significantly. I am repeatedly deleting the app and reinstalling it as advised by support - but is there any desire from this company to fix the issue?

Activity navigation normal now?
The new update a few months back was absolutely garbage.
But big bonus points right now as it looks like you guys have converted the Activity interface back to how it was before or atleast similar
