### 3/5 — Laggy and bad compression

*2025-12-09, version 4.6.0*

Like the title says

### 2/5 — Bad Mobile Experience

*2025-01-13*

The mobile products (specifically Base) receive virtually no dev upgrades. There are so many other better alternatives out there.  They are also unwilling to work with long standing users with honoring previously applied discounts.

Update: Anton was finally able to resolve the billing issue, so thank you. I stand by the lack of development comment. I’m running the current iPadOS and iOS version.

**Developer response:** Hi Bart,
Thank you for the honest review! We appreciate it. Could you please check which version number of Zenkit Base you are currently working with? As for discounts: We do offer discounts for educational purposes, NGOs and so on. Please don't hesitate to reach out to our service team via service@zenkit.com to check whether you would be eligible for a discount. We look forward to hearing from you!

Cheers,
Louisa

### 4/5 — Does everything I want

*2024-12-28*

I have tried Evernote, Clickup, Notion, TickTick and all the rest. Zenkit does everything I want better than all these others. There are some features I would still love to have that either  haven’t figured out or are not available. Overall though it is really good so far.

**Developer response:** Hi!
Thank you for the positive review! We appreciate it. As we would love to earn five stars, please feel free to share any suggestions for improvement for us via service@zenkit.com. You can always give any feature requests. 

Cheers,
Louisa

### 3/5 — 👁️

*2024-11-28, version 4.4.2*

Просто для просмотра или закинуть новый таск по дороге, далеко от рабочего места - хорошо, мне важна возможность в любой момент зайти в приложение и что-то посмотреть или создать новую задачу, чтобы не забыть потом. Но пользоваться только мобильной версией ооочень неудобно, оно просто не оптимизировано. Я не хочу перечислять все функции которые бы хотела увидеть, думаю разработчик и сам в курсе как и что должно быть. Всё равно спасибо что приложение хотя бы существует и выполняет минимальные требования для работы😝

### 3/5 — Подписка

*2023-05-18, version 4.3.9*

Как отменить подписку?

### 3/5 — Needs 1 improvement for 5 stars

*2022-03-03*

As a new user to PM apps, it does everything I need it to do…..My issue is the calendar view. It seems like it is stuck in “zoom in” mode, and I’ve been unable to view the whole month at once without scrolling up/down, left/right. As a visual person, that close up view doesn’t work for me all of the time. I need the option to zoom in & out.

**Developer response:** Hi, Thank you for your honest feedback! I understand that this is visually not really appealing. Could you please provide us with more information via service@zenkit.com? Are you using a mobile device to access the app or the browser / desktop app? We would be happy to find a solution to this.

Cheers,
Louisa

### 3/5 — Improvement

*2021-11-20, version 4.3.3*

Everything is good. One thing I want is the formula field should have more power like using with if condition or calculate base on other fields type not only number

### 3/5 — Great concept, needs improved execution

*2021-08-12, version 4.3.1*

I’ve used this app on and off and been an on/off paying subscriber for years. I  think the concept is great and really want to love the app (both phone and desktop apps  I’m referring to), but find them slow and clunky. 

Years later, the apps remain mostly the same. The *function* is great but the UX is sluggish, with lacking keyboard shortcuts (there are not enough). Because this is the case technology that the company wants to build with, they need to work on really improving the performance and usage of it before doing other products. Fire up Trello and Notion in browser tabs and Zenkit in the next tab. Use your arrow keys to navigate through your kanban cards - even just a simple operation as navigation with arrow keys will demonstrate the performance difference with its competitors. 

There are some other issues with ux that involve too many taps and clicks, say to open a record and type a note, but some can be forgiven due to the flexible, generalised nature of the product. 

I write because I really wish the issues were addressed. It’s a wonderful product but I find it unusable in daily life where I move fast from meeting to meeting on the go. So I move to other tools. I hope they can really focus and improve the core platform, before embarking on another product (hypernotes, another chat messenger, …) as it appears their newer products will benefit from any performance improvements they make too.

### 2/5 — New user

*2021-04-11, version 4.1.4*

Cannot delete  workspaces 
I followed the instructions that was listed in your help manual. To no avail

Please make it part of the app so people like me who want to use the app are forced to use something else in order to do what your app was supposed to be able to do

### 3/5 — Leider kann ich mich nicht mal einloggen

*2021-03-31, version 4.1.2*

Da ich Zwei-Faktor Authentifizierung für meine Email verwende, kann ich mich bei euch nicht mal einloggen, weil in der App immer ein Fehler geworfen wird. Wollte Zenkit sowohl am PC als auch auf dem Smartphone verwenden. Leider ging Online am PC das einrichten der Zwei-Faktor Authentifizierung für mein Zenkit Konto ebenfalls nicht. Ebenfalls Fehlermeldung. Leider konnte ich auch kein Template laden, Fehlermeldung. Sehr ärgerlich, an sich fand ich dieses Tool nämlich optisch sehr gelungen.

### 4/5 — 行事歷

*2021-02-16, version 4.1.1*

不能在行事曆時，長按移動卡片，有一點麻煩。

### 4/5 — No arranca

*2020-12-14, version 4.0.11*

Desde la última actualización de la aplicación no consigo abrir la app. Solo aparece el logo.

### 4/5 — Sehr umfangreiche App aber...

*2020-11-04, version 4.0.9*

Ich halte mich kurz. Sehr guter Funktionsumfang, läuft sehr stabil, Cross-device Sync läuft tadellos.

Was mich allerdings stört ist das ich auf dem 11“ ipadPro nichts mit dem ApplePencil machen kann. Ich muss für alles meine Finger benutzen. Wenn man das noch ändern kann das der ApplePencil funktioniert ist die APP 100% 5Sterne wert. So allerdings „nur“ 4.

### 4/5 — Quite sleek but too expensive for non €/$ !!

*2020-10-13, version 4.0.9*

Lacks regional discount pricing for startups and students, which is very unwise - ends up being way more expensive than Things and 6 times more than TickTick, which on the other hand seems to charge less here in Brazil, where our current exchange rate is € 1 = R$ 6.53 !!!

### 1/5 — Can’t even sign in

*2025-09-19, version 4.6.0*

Can’t even sign in to the app, not sure how we are expected to use a collaboration platform when the mobile app doesn’t work at all…

### 1/5 — app unusable with new updates

*2024-10-01, version 4.4.1*

i can’t tick things off or change the time or date of them on the app anymore? PLEASE FIX zenkit runs my life

### 1/5 — Need help

*2024-09-21, version 4.4.0*

Did you make changes? I can no longer move items from "done" to "to do"...I can't delete items from a list. Adding anything is now a convoluted, multi-step process. 

We have used this program for several years and this is very disappointing.

### 1/5 — Horrible buggy set up not worth the app

*2022-05-30, version 4.3.3*

As it says on the tin, the developer really needs to sort this out.

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work

*2022-05-08, version 4.3.3*

Now it doesn’t work. I cannot see the items in workplace when I select to see them as  Calender31 … I’m completely lost !!

### 1/5 — Opens with YouTube promo

*2020-12-02, version 4.0.11*

I generally like the app, but since the latest update it opens the YouTube app to show a promo video every time I start the app. And I have the paid plus subscription. Seriously?

### 1/5 — Frustrating and no support

*2020-05-24, version 4.0.2*

I have queried an issue several times without feedback... the free account locks you out after you invest your time and data in it and prompts you to upgrade. I am one user, using it on 3 devices, not sharing ... yet it claims I am 6 users but the program does not give you the opportunity to delete users, tasks or collections so free is designed to force you to procure the programme... bit of bait and switch going on here... free forever... yes right....

### 1/5 — No push reminders

*2019-10-31, version 3.2.2*

Useless crap.  Push notifications on iOS do not work in fact, which means there is no way to remember the task on time.

### 1/5 — Issue

*2019-06-15, version 3.0.1*

Create collection button(+) doesn’t work after deleting existing collection after install.

### 1/5 — Looks nice, doesn't work

*2019-02-26, version 2.1.6*

Pros 
- looks great
- good read only access to send kit online

Cons
- cannot change kanban, no edit, cannot add items.

- not useful on phone because because IOS version doesn't work on IPhone 8 plus

### 5/5 — Favorite

*2026-03-21, version 4.7.0*

Zenkit is my favorite project planning app - both desktop, web and mobile. I am a Product Manager, and if I was to build a planning tool for my needs, Zenkit would be it.

### 5/5 — Fantastic App

*2026-02-23, version 4.7.0*

One of the best apps out there. Includes many many options in the free tier.  Normally these options are locked behind paywalls in most popular apps. However the free tier here is very generous and the app works in all devices. Perfect!

### 5/5 — User

*2025-04-23, version 4.5.0*

Truly amazing. many thanks.

### 5/5 — Süper

*2022-04-12, version 4.3.3*

Mükemmel bir uygulama. Birde Türkçe dil seçeneği olsaydı süper olurdu.

### 5/5 — Bestes Projektmanagement-Tool, Made in Germany!

*2021-07-25*

Ich bin von Zenkit wirklich begeistert. Es bietet für mich nahezu alle Funktionen, die ich für meine Firma benötige. Ich habe wirklich einige Tools getestet, aber bei keinem passte alles so gut wie bei Zenkit. Zudem ist es absolut datenschutzkonform, da es aus Deutschland kommt und auch dort gehostet wird. Perfekt was die DSGVO Bestimmungen angeht. Es macht einfach Spaß damit zu arbeiten, da an soviel sinnvolles Gedacht wurde (Stichwort „Mein Kalender“). Daumen hoch!

**Developer response:** Vielen Dank für dein Feedback! Wir freuen uns sehr zu hören, dass Zenkit gerne genutzt wird. Melde dich gerne bei Fragen, Anregungen oder Feedback bei uns über service@zenkit.com. 
Cheers,
Louisa

### 5/5 — Great power expressed in such a simple interface

*2021-05-08, version 4.1.5*

Ok, so the app is the Zettelkasten for the business - interconnected operations of your business. What I wish for the future - it's the revenue/reputation collection in the same manner. It will be useful for huge communities (like family or country). Why I'm calling family a huge community? Cause it's got an infinite story. Country got infinite amount of folks. So collecting reviews and earning and thanks in family is useful in time. Then it's obvious who contributed in what. For the country it will be a great social lift. So we will have a person who naturally will generate a pension to all his contributors(MLM tried to reflect this)

### 5/5 — Nicht nur fürs Studium

*2020-12-06*

Ursprünglich war ich für mein Studium und um allemöglichen anfallenden ToDos im Überblick zu behalten, auf der Suche nach einer App wie dieser. Ich probierte verschiedene Apps mit denen man Checklisten und Kanban-Boards erstellen konnte und bin letztendlich bei Zenkit geblieben.
Auch nach meinem Studium nutze ich die App noch intensiv für meinen Webcomic (dafür ist die Foto-Option super!) und um meinen Zeitplan für die Posts im Blick zu haben.

### 5/5 — Potentissima

*2020-11-25, version 4.0.9*

Era il tassello mancante nella mia produttività! Permette di organizzare ogni cosa, dal piccolo progetto personale a un’intera azienda, con estrema semplicità.
Personalmente la uso anche per personal developement, o anche solo per fare ordine mentale

### 5/5 — Super flexible, rich and clean!!!

*2020-10-15, version 4.0.9*

SIMPLY THE BEST organization system I have ever found (15 years working with groupware, project management, kanban and more)!!!!!
Please give it a try: 
-you can modify all fields, options and layouts you want
-Zenkit imports from most PM services, has lots of views, tags and ways to handle your info as it uses same rich database for everything
-all above in literally a ZEN and clean way to work on it without losing functionality

Look no further!
Thanks zenkit!

### 5/5 — The best App for project management

*2020-10-05, version 4.0.9*

Extremely functional App. Numerous tools to manage projects. I tested different programs and I found this one the best. The graphical interface is very friendly. Technical support is fast and very personal.
