Doesn’t update tasks retroactively
I tried to update a task that I had completed yesterday — selected 0 hours left, selected that I did it yesterday — and the task was recreated in the project. Super annoying.
The Best
As an academic, I’m constantly trying to find the least overwhelming but productive workflow. I recently started researching Agile and Scrum for a class I’m teaching and thought to myself: “What a great way to plan and track productivity for personal projects? ... I wonder if there is an app for Scrum?”
Of course, there are a lot of Agile project management apps but none of them work for me. They assume a large collaborative team and don’t work well with other workflows of mine. ScrumOne is the solution I would have built if I knew how. This really just focuses on planning sprints and tracking progress. No other app does it this way.

No backlog, workflow is not aligned to Scrum
This could be an excellent app for individuals with a few enhancements: backlog, projects, task notes, moving tasks between iterations or back to backlog.
As it is today, I would not buy this app again.
This app has promise, but there is no backlog feature - a core element of Scrum, and there is no support for Projects. If you work more than 1 project, you can’t assign tasks to projects or group work by project.
It feels like the workflow was designed backwards: The current workflow requires the user to create an iteration and then assign tasks to the iteration. Tasks cannot be moved to a different iteration.
The user should be able to enter tasks (in a backlog) and then assign selected tasks to an iteration. Also there is no support for task notes - so you can’t record information important to completing a task.
I hope some enhancements are in the works. There are few apps that support Scrum for individuals, most are designed for teams and require too much data entry.
