### 1/5 — Crashes after login

*2017-09-28, version 2.0.1*

This looked like a cool tool to get a more friendly UX while on mobile but the app does not work on IOS 11. I was able to log in and grant permission to the app to use my VSTS account. After that screen it crashes while retrieving data.

Hope the app gets the bugs fixed

### 1/5 — Spins at Dashboard

*2017-07-20, version 2.0.0*

### 1/5 — Won't launch fully

*2017-05-13, version 1.1.1*

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Almost works

*2019-06-06, version 2.2.2*

Runs on iOS 12.2, and I’m able to select my account, project, team, and iteration, but when I try to view the dashboard I receive an error: “We have reached to max threshold limit for fetching work items. Please try viewing iteration wise”. The iteration I selected has just 3 work items and 3 tasks. I suspect it has an unnecessarily low limit on how many open work items it will query, and that “viewing iteration wise” doesn’t help it to overcome that limit at all. It makes no sense to me that they would offer such a poorly written/supported app, and then link to their company’s site where they’re trying to sell their software services.

### 1/5 — 2-factor authenticator doesn’t work

*2019-03-16, version 2.2.2*

Right off the bat the login experience is uneven.

I haven’t been able to log in using 2-factor authentication with the Microsoft Authenticator. The app just sits there waiting for confirmation after I approve the login on Authenticator. At this point the app is stuck. If I go back to try a different account, the app doesn’t let me switch it. It just picks where it left to try authenticate the same account I entered earlier. I had to uninstall and resintall to a try a different account.

Then the “demo login” is just some random outlook.com the app gives you the password for. I even got a “it looks like someone else might be using your account” message, then the login flow tried to confirm it was my account by texting to the number I obviously don’t own.

I reckon Microsoft’s authentication mechanics are a bit rube-goldberish, but I get the impression not a lot of polishing was given to this app’s login flow. As is, I’m unable to use it.

### 1/5 — Slow and poor performance

*2019-02-14, version 2.2.2*

It works sort of but it’s too slow, it’s easier to use the website than this app

### 1/5 — Hangs

*2019-01-26, version 2.2.2*

It just hangs after entering login credentials.

### 1/5 — That’s a “hello world” program, not a real app

*2018-12-28*

The app seems to be an early experiment of the author in the complicated world of iOS software development. 

The functionality is the following: the app requests your login credentials, then connects to VSTS and then shows you a list of VSTS projects. That is it. One star.

### 1/5 — Not able to see my project

*2018-12-27, version 2.2.2*

This app is very immature. I am not able to see my project in project list and every time when i want to see the project it force to press logout on pop up button.

### 1/5 — Authentication not working

*2018-09-07, version 2.2.2*

Cannot get past the Authenticator phase, somehow it is ignoring the token sent by the app.

### 1/5 — Not able to use demo

*2018-08-15*

Not able to log in using the demo credentials. Directed to verify the account details by text message.

### 1/5 — Can’t get my data

*2018-05-28, version 2.2.2*

I was reluctant to enter my password into a third party app, but tries it with an old test account. The app failed to retrieve any data from VSTS. Basically, it doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2018-04-23, version 2.2.2*

The app ask for builds but one let me select anything I haven’t been able to log on to even see if it functions well. Once this is update I might try again but that’s its. 

Phone: iPhone X 
Software: 11.e

## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great UI and Quick Access

*2018-08-29, version 2.2.2*

It’s not crashing for me like others are saying. I’m on iOS 11.4.1 Useful for creating bugs, adding work items, etc. Much better than the mobile site and it’s even free!! Give it a try at least!

### 5/5 — Nice application for Team!

*2017-06-16, version 1.1.7*

Love to work on this with my daily professional activities..

### 5/5 — Good app

*2017-04-06, version 1.1.1*

The best app to use TFS on mobile.

### 4/5 — Straight Forward

*2018-10-28, version 2.2.2*

Seems to be what I was looking for.  Something straight forward to look at work items and update them on the go.

### 4/5 — Still beta?

*2017-03-25, version 1.1.1*

Connects to VSO, displays projects well, but I can't create or edit work items so it doesn't meet my needs. I assume this will be available in a future update?

### 3/5 — Good start

*2018-04-21, version 2.2.2*

Good start but really need to be able to review the code.

### 2/5 — Not very helpful

*2017-07-14, version 1.1.7*

I can't see bug numbers or drill down into the details.
