No longer usable
I can no longer receive updates from the server. Tasks that were completed weeks ago still showing as overdue. Tried logging out and logging in again, now I have my projects but no tasks within them!
Desktop and web app both fine.

OK Phone App, Needs Notifications
Moved several clients over to Flow after using Asana for years. WAY better as a desktop app, which is the best productivity tool I’ve found. However, phone app doesn’t have all the functionality yet of desktop app. INCLUDING NO NOTIFICATIONS w/ phone app. So weird. Would give 4.5 stars otherwise, 5 if had all the functions of desktop app. Still beats Asana hands down, including 3rd party app integrations.

I would love to try it but still cannot get in...
I usually don’t appreciate negative reviews because people are usually in a state of, well, the state I’m in while writing this message :-P But seriously, I literally tried to register and then log into the app to no avail. The infinite loop of software craziness....at the end I was in the app, and after logging on through Office 365, it told me to download the app from the App Store, or if I had the app to select that option. Which I did. And nothing.
I’m hoping for their sake this is a massive bug that will be squashed shortly and I’ll get it another go. Probably go try and register on my desktop, but honestly I was hoping for a mobile app that was a great compliment to the desktop app (which is hard to find), so I’m not thrilled by that prospect.
Anyway, hope if anything this helps the dev ops and QA group to get this fixed.
Cheers,
Peter

Poor customer experience
App didn’t work out for us and I missed the annual renewal by one day, asked for a refund and was refused. Just hopeless!!
Notification badges need to be looked at
It often happens that I am "all caught up" in the catch up tab with no unread tasks, while the app still shows a badge of unread content. Please reset the badge count on each launch or at least add an option to reset this manually.
It’s okay. Some things don’t sync
Overall it’s a decent app. I can manage my tasks and projects pretty reliably and keep up with communication.
But I’ve run into several instances where things I’ve done on the web app simply aren’t shown in the iOS app. New tags, completed tasks, even entire projects that have been completed are still showing incomplete in the app.
I have faith it’ll improve, but it needs to soon.

Desktop app = good, mobile = useless
Absolute junk. The cost of making a workable app must either be beyond this small team or not possible at any price.
Amazing app
Flow is an amazing system. It beats asana and jira for most teams! I don't know why it's not more popular!
So uh how do I make an account?
Really wanted to try this bc the listing is beautiful. But how do I make an account?
Can’t login with email. Can’t login with Google either, because it’s says I need an existing account. Dad to say that it seems like ya’ll missed a step in onboarding—an important one.

Hey AppStrategist! Unfortunately, logging in with Google will only work once you've connected your Google account to Flow during sign up in our web app. I've just spoken with the team and we're going to try and make this clearer in a future update. In the meantime, you can sign up for a free account at getflow.com. Please let us know what you think of the app!
Great fix
Thanks for updating and fixing the issue with it being unresponsive. Now working perfectly.
ipad pro view
Why can’t we have the card view on ipad/pro?
Can’t log in
Every time i try to log in it just tells me there was a problem syncing my account, and to log out and try again
Response from developer
Hey zzz419, could you shoot an email to support@getflow.com and we'll look in to this immediately.
Good job on the update
Good so far, hoping to see the overdue section offer exact dates in the future, it would speed things up and help out when you have a lot of overdue. Everything just red boxes, would help if they were dated so I don’t have to go in them to make sure that the exact one I’m looking for, especially for a company that has A repetitive schedule. Other than that very happy so far, can’t wait for more updates!

Essential for workflow management
A must have for collaborative teams that need to organize and stay up to date on tasks!
Love the concept, love desktop, mobile app needs work
I’ve been using this app for a few days and really trying to understand its functionality before I bring the rest of my team over. Overall, this software is designed so well on desktop and the Mac app. It’s fully featured and offers all the necessary functions to organize our business.
The iPhone app on the other hand is not really finished for prime time. It lacks a lot of basic functionality that the Mac app has.
1) 90% of the projects we make are duplicates of existing ones (we are a pop up restaraunt and catering business so we’re just making projects for each event with tasks that need to be done the month of, week of, day of, shopping list, and overview). So the to dos we need are already created we just need to duplicate it to add the date of the next event. On the computer it works great, but my business partner and I are ALWAYS working from our phones and are constantly responding to emails that come in and add info directly to the project on the fly. If a new project comes in we want to duplicate an existing project and change the title. I cannot do that on iPhone.
2) There is no way to reorder tasks on iPhone. Again, this is basic functionality for any to do app on the iPhone and was literally left out of the functionality. The only way to sort on iPhone is by due date or by title. Makes no sense. Again, this is something that works amazingly on desktop by the way. But just left out completely on iPhone.
3) Moving tasks between projects. There’s no way to move a bunch of tasks at once to a different project. I don’t know why they make us jump through so many hoops when we could simply drag and drop the items between them (Apple enabled the drag and drop API last year). Especially since they’re in the same list layout. I would say look to Things app for similar functionality. The problem with things is there’s no collaboration, so i will gladly pay the $6/month/user to integrate this with my team, but I just can’t do it unless it’s on the computer.
4) They tout markdown support on the Mac when working with the description of a project. This is amazing and helps with organization for the team to understand the context of a project. Unfortunately markdown, again, is only supported on the Mac. Seems like an oversight? I don’t know. I think maybe the developers had a date to launch and just decided not to support the iPhone app the way the desktop app is supported. Literally when I look at the info that has markdown code in it, it’s just the raw code. No formatting or anything. Why even enable this as a feature if it’s not supported?
Overall, I’m going to stick with this app for now because it’s significantly cheaper than Basecamp and overall works really well with our business. But my team does 90% of their work on their phones and I have to double up all the work by checking on the computer to make sure it’s all organized correctly. Until the flow team gives us an outline on some of these basic functionality fixes, my rating will remain at 2 stars.

The best mobile team collaboration app
I’ve been using Flow to work with my team for a few years now and I love it. It’s easy to use but flexible and powerful enough to accommodate our workflows. This new mobile app brings everything I love about the full web app to my iPhone. Highly recommended.
