App is not user friendly.
I have been using Podio for the past four years. I've never switched to a different CRM. It seems to get the job done. However, I do not find the app user-friendly. The interface just doesn't seem like the interface from the Web. I wish the app had an interface like the Web. I heard they recently got acquired, so I'm hopeful that they can see this with you and they can make some updates to the app so that we could actually use the app. None of my teamMates use the app.

Please make the app easier to use and have better work flow.
On my computer I have the team section and the private section which on the app I do not have. The app does not do a good job a differentiating certain sections, which is crucial for organization and not wasting time having to sift through Leads to figure out which ones are mine or my team members also when we have new leads come in they get put in with the ones that have already been worked while on the computer that does not happen also, it could be made a bit easier to look at the lead instead of having all the information just smashed together. I like Podio this isn’t To bash Podio, but more to hope that you guys make an improvement and have it be easier to navigate like on the computer . Thank you.

You pour your resources on branding???
If there’s ever a company out of touch, it’s this one. Take a better look and do a little self-reflection if you think changing your logo does anything to help your users. It is a self-serving move and displays Podio’s ongoing commitment to not doing much of anything in terms of usability, despite its change in ownership earlier.

A decade out of date
Unfortunately, the mobile app hasn’t kept pace with the web-based version. (Which is a big problem, because the web based version blocks you from accessing a lot of the content and tries to force you to use the app.)
The mobile app can’t even do the most basic functions like filtering and sorting, so it’s pretty much useless. If you know *exactly* what you’re looking for, *sometimes* the search function will suffice. Again, lack of filtering or sorting makes it infinitely less useful.
Also, the clunky interface is trying to slow you down and prevent you from accomplishing anything, whether trying to navigate to something specific, looking at the entries in an “app,” or attempting to edit an entry, among others.
The Podio team probably ought to start from scratch and make something usable and modern.

Phone App Could Be Better
I love Podio and I love using it on my computer, but the phone app could really use some improvements, especially in how user friendly it is.
Waste of time
The app is terrible. Crashes constantly and have to re do your work over and over. Can’t upload photos and make comments at the same time. Can’t make task and add photos have to save then add comment to have photos attached.
Not what I was sold, DO NOT TRUST THEM
I had been using Podio since 2012 with good results until they sold to a new company last fall. Service went down, issues went up, they billed me for far more than we had agreed to and they billed how me early as well. I had to fight with them and report it to my bank fraud in order to get my money back. I am only on it now while I work to move things to another program. Do not trust them.

Really good and most customizable
We run a pretty big real estate team using many different tools all synced into Podio. We got a big team and everyone can use it.
If you can imagine it you can do it. We do a ton of automation, programming, push/pull, Ai, etc
Beware tho you’ll need a semi full time programmer for anything past the the beginner intermediate stuff we got tons of python globiflow and Zapier systems all bridged into it

What could be
This app could be amazing; however, it keeps crashing every single time we open it. No matter how many times we uninstall and reinstall, it continues along this path. Very unfortunate!
Wrongfully Billed and No Refund
I had an awful experience with Podio. They wrongfully billed me for services I didn’t authorize, and despite multiple attempts to resolve the issue, they refused to issue a refund. Their customer service is unhelpful and dismissive. I feel completely scammed, and I strongly urge anyone considering using Podio to stay far away from this company. They do not take responsibility for their mistakes and have terrible support. Save yourself the headache and go with a more reliable platform!

Love Podio!
Amazing
Love it
PDF’s and images don’t open
This app used to be wonderful but now anytime I want to open an image or pdf it simply redirects me to the online version of the activities feed.
Cannot access files online/ download files
With this recent update I cannot access any files through Podio online or download them on my phone/ tablet. Please fix that!
Do not update
Can’t view or download attached files anymore. Please fix
Podio is life
Our team wouldn’t be anywhere without it.
The app could use some work it’s not as refined as the web version but the platform is still 5-stars

Search is terrible
Search function is basically missing. There’s a global search, but not search function within each app. Makes navigating and finding a particular item a total nightmare. How could you overlook this!?!
Develop your own automations!
While it takes a learning curve for people who are new to PHP programming, Podio is the perfect platform to develop any kind of automation you need!
I am a real estate broker and use it as a CRM, prospecting tool and a data aggregator which helps me keep track of the market in real time. While it took me a long time to develop the tools, and the skill set it takes to program them, it was well worth it.
Once you learn how to develop automations, you have a skill set, they could be used in any industry. I wouldn’t trade Podio for the world!
