Twist: Organized Messaging 4+

Used Twist a year or so ago before moving to using other platform, such a features in Asana and Zoom Chat, etc. With all the blotted features in these other apps we are back using Twist and find it helps with clarity of communication between teams members. Analysing are data we performed better much better using Twist for communications than these other applications.

Threads are brilliant and help keep conversations in the right context. A great combination with ToDoist, although it can stand on its own depending on your needs.

I have no hesitation in recommending Twist for teams looking to use a clean and focused collaboration communication tool. In short, if you are tired of all the noisy apps like Slack, Asana, etc then Twist will be a breath of fresh air.

Thank you so much for sharing your review 🤗 We are happy to hear that you enjoy Twist!

I thought I would get my team on board with this app. Attraction was based on my positive experience with the company’s slick polished Todoist app that I've used for many years.

However, in addition to the text of the iPhone app being far too small, day one, back from meetings, my Mac and phone app icon have a red dot indicating messages. But my inbox is empty, while there’s a little number in the app indicating there’s a direct message, but there isn’t. They are all read.

I then have to fish through various threads where I see there are in fact in some threads with some unread messages, but you have to read back to establish what you’ve read and what you haven’t. All because the notification graphics are so bad, no message count in the icon red dot (on Mac), they are nuts and in threads there’s no colour-coding or shading to show what you’ve read and what you haven’t.

Inbox doesn’t seem to correlate or in fact do anything so I’m about a day away from telling the team, “sorry to have wasted your time, I don’t think this app will work”. Sad really from a usually great developer.

Notifications need to be as snappy and clear graphically as iMessage, WhatsApp and email to drag us onto this app.

People haver to communicate in the office, out, while walking, on various devices at a a fast pace and that needs visual clarity, mental flow as well as speed.

I’ve contacted the developer before but they don’t reply.

Hi Dr David James! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, we really appreciate it 🙏 Please know that your message has now been shared with our Product team. We apologize for the inconvenience caused 😞

Twist is by far the best app I’ve experienced over 7 years of working remotely. If you’ve had the same thoughts as threads being an after thought or notifications always going off for conversations that don’t relate to you, Twist is for you!

It keeps everything organised, searchable and you can close off threads when the discussion has reached a decision!

Thank you! It’s changed the way I communicate!
