This app is good. Its very similar to the website though. Its nice to have an app now on the desktop. But it woudl be great if there were more features. Like drag and drop in the boards menu so you can move boards from one team to another, etc. Also its just a bit clunky still. I love trello, use it on my phone and comptuer. Its getting there slowly but surely. Could use some upgrading a bit though. I wish they had a bit more of a way of creating a difffernt type of board. Love the pictures and video links elmetns though. Like instad of just having the dorp down lists having the option to do like a general note pad on one would be great where you can keep typing rather than just bubles or have to open the note and do description. Love the pictures and video links elements though. That way I could move fully off Notes as well and use this for things like journaling ideas etc. As of now its really jsut great for vision boarding and lists. Calander things too but this is a bit clunky. Its more of a reminder option thats kinda nice but i dont use it much the way its set up.
Love using Trello, and rely it on for both professional and personal projects. However, the app vesion is completely unreliable. I keep the Trello window open on another desktop while I work, and after a few moments of inactivity, the window seems to constantly freeze. Frequently it will take multiple clicks to register, then, when it does, it will reset to the home page and any card I was working on is gone. The latest problem now is that after inactivity the app no longer reponds at all and has to be force quit. Update1: It’s 2019, and the app is still worthless. Constant freezes requiring me to quit and restart the app. Now it’s freezing *while* I’m typing entries into a card; I then have to force quit, losing whatever progress I had. Tell me again why this is better than using the website, which, as far as I can tell, works flawlessly?Update #2: After two years I’m giving up and uninstalling this piece of garbage. The app freezes constantly, outright crashes, or loses cards after I try to enter them. The app is completely unreliable and worthless for extended use. It’s fine in short bursts, but as I rely on it throughout the day, it simply isn’t stable enough. The website, by comparison, doesn’t crash, or freeze or lose my data. So, whatever benefits the app held aren’t worth the trouble, I’ll just return to using it via a browser.
The main reason to use a standalone app of something you can get in the web browser is that it should be more performant and feel more native than in the browser. This app needs some real work still as it’s neither. It actually seems like it’s just a webview inside an application window, because it gives me the exact same “disconnected from server for too long, please reload” messages I get on the web - unlike the iOS app which has great offline capability.It is also SLOWER and buggier than the web - we’re talking ASANA SLOW, which was the original reason I ditched that and started using Trello... Switching from the list view to the calendar view is particularly buggy. Sometimes it doesn’t work, or there’s a several second lag during which I’ve clicked again three times and then it flashes back and forth the number of times I’ve clicked once it catches up. This is not a computer processing speed issue - I regularly edit videos and photos with less lag than the Trello app. Please make a native app that is actually performant - it’s clear to see you’ve just thrown a web view into an app and put it up on the app store to get another marketing touch point to make users sign up. It’s lazy and below Trello’s normally high standards.
I have been trello gold for a while - because I evangelize the heck out of it! It has been incredible for my work place and I also have finally figured out how to use it for my own organizing. I have one complaint - as an art organization that uses drawing tablets - trello is the only app that can not accept input from the tablet and pen (this goes for all the desktop & laptop macs we have - using multiple brands of tablets.) I contacted trello to see if this was something we could solve and was told it was the manufactures fault - but I highly suspect something else is going on now that we have purchased yet another 100$ tablet that also doesn't work. If I didn't love and use the app so much I wouldn't have even noticed - so let this just be a testament to how much more I wish I could use it without this hangup. Kudos to all the 1,000 other things they have made absolutely incredibly right and functional. It boggles the mind. If you are wondering if you should be using it - yes, especially if you work in teams and deal with images - there is really nothing else that can compare. It handles hundreds of images with ease and grace. I have tried a million systems and can hardly believe how great this one is - and that it still doesn't have to cost you anything. So yeah, download it! (...and then help me figure out how to make it work with our tablets!)
Currently this app has some serious bugs, at least on my Mac. It has become somehow invisible to Finder and the menu has disappeared. Fortunately the app is identical to the website so getting around in Trello isn’t affected, but starting and quitting are now a hassle. I would rate the Trello system (as opposed to the app) 4 1/2 stars. I use it for everything. It's so flexible that it works for production workflow, as lesson planner, storage shed for links/ideas, image transfer device. Support for Trello is good. I recommend the Calendar power-up which links project deadlines to a Google calendar. They have a paid plan if you want extras but there’s no pressure to upgrade. I think Trello was designed for people in a specific type of corporate environment, so home users will need to work around some issues — I spend a lot of time trying to make my data fit into the board/card/list structure, and the Facebook-like Home Page is useless and annoying. On the whole, though: Trello is an amazing tool for free. But, unless your internet is unreliable, there’s not much difference between the app and the website.
For creative projects, writing, planning and producing events - I have just come to appreciate this app so very much. Before Trello, I was using PowerPoint and then Google slides to organize my projects. It sounds funny but it was surprisingly effective. A slide for each scene in a play — attach research and notes to the slide. But team work was tricky, as not everyone had access to Microsoft products, and Google, although free, for some team members had a sizeable learning curve. Let’s be honest, PowerPoint isn’t always intuitive either. New users glaze over until you encourage them to get in and click around. This app works in a similar way to what I have described; with boards and attachable cards, but it also has the additional benefit of being able to keep multiple projects working at the same time. In addition, you are easily able to create and work with teams. There is a great dashboard for all projects that keeps your complete organizational structure visible in ways that other Apps do not. It is easy to jump in and add a note, article, or web page whenever you trip across something you can use or don’t want to forget.I have searched every App Store for a tool like this—something for the visual organizer that I am. I have finally junked my post-its and have been using it ever since. I also appreciate that it is so affordable.
I am an entreprenuer, freelance designer, and business consultant. I rely on technology to keep in touch with teams/clients while working any and all of my projects. Like a lot of poeple I found trello when looking for free alternatives to similar apps. I figured it would fit my needs, but didn't expect much. Trello by far is better than I expected. Even witout upgrading to any of the paid options, I find Trello is way more useful than I ever thought it would be. It is really easy to navigate and understand and within a day of setting up my account, I recieved emails in my inbox with videos on how to get the most out of the app. I strongly recommend trello to anyone who needs to organize to-do lists, task, project guidelines, etc. with a team of 2 or more people.Though I love Trello, there are a few things preventing me from rating it 5 stars: 1) Though it provides excellent push notifications to my mac, I wish that I was able to add a trello widget to notification center in MacOS. It would be a bonus if it were an iOS widget as well, but I would rather have one for mac. 2) There is no menu bar icon. Having a quick glance access in the menu bar would be AMAZING.All in all, this app and service is great. If you need to colaborate on any projects in the near future, you need to give Trello a try.
1st: An important Feature Request for Trello Team: you must get your app into the Share Sheet options for Safari / Browsers on Mac Desktop. Puh-lease. It’s there on Mobile. Seamless, as it should be, on mobile. Get that feature on my heavier hardware. Attaching anything to an existing card, or when starting a card is really common impulse. Isn’t it? I’m like every user, aren’t I? If you build it, more users will come. I’m lookin’ at you, Trello. Get it done. Make it happen.Aside from that missing feature, this app is sooooo useful. Been a Trello user for many, many years. They keep it simple, but allow for a lot of customization and depth if you want it. I prefer Trello for Personal To Do and use it for (simpler) Professional Projects too. It’s great to have access to a it across platforms and for the implementation on each platform to be so consistent.I’m not excited about the aspiration towards “Everything App” style features, where it tries to be my calendar and my inbox… eeek. No thank you. Please keep it easy for me to hide (bury) features I don’t want / deed. I’d much rather you focused on share sheet functionality from other apps. Make it fast + simple to add to my Trello card from anything.
I was disappointment in Microsoft's decision to phase out Wunderlist and even ore disappointed when I tried their replacement app, MS To Do. It lacked most of what I liked about WL. Also I'm Mac based and don't want to use Outlook so whatever functionality exists for Outlook users doesn't for me. I tried a couple of different apps, none of them were what I was looking for. Then I downloaded Trello. I'm using the free version currently and I am really thrilled so far. My life is complicated (I have a career, a family, I'm in grad school, and I have various creative projects going on at any one time) and Trello gives me a way to organize all of these different facets of my life really well. I haven't had any of the freezing issues described in some other reviews but will update if that changes. So far I'm just really, really pleased.
I'm a project manager and co-founder of a nonprofit whose whole objective is projects that support people compassionately. I have my hands full in 20 given directions at any time (I use to be a wedding coordinator and had 200 weddings on my radar at a time, so it's less, but still a lot). I use trello like my notebooks and file folders; assigning each board a valid master category, and each list considered as a folder; each card is an item in the folder. It's helped me go digital in my planning and communications as it can mimic what I'd do in real life, because it's that flexible for me. I've tried many others but found better versaility with trello, and am looking forward to getting the pro version, priced for nonprofits.
This is a really easy to use project/task management, group collaboration tool. Would be something I’d use, however the monthly fees start at $5 and go up to $10/user/month. $60 to $120 / year doesn’t sound like much until you multiply by the number of users and then add in all the other essentials (ie Office 365, etc). The ease of use is not really worth the annual fees for us. Since more and more applicaitons are requiring a subscription these days, we have to guage what’s important versus the nice to have features offered here. The free version is relatively light and will probably not work for most small business applications (limited “Power-up” extensions, limited file attachment sizes (even if I store on my device), and no options to store on my other cloud services (free version offers access to OneDrive, but then only one extension is allowed at a time)...
For years I have been switching constantly from my white board to using excel to track my daily, weekly and monthly tasks while not finding any one method fully satisfying! Trello was the perfect solution for me. I am not using it to collaborate on projects, but just for myself to track what is Pending, In-Progress, Waiting on someone else, Completed and Backlog actions. Each of these is a separate list that I can easily drag any one action between (and back-and-forth). It allows me to visualize what needs to be done “At-A-Glance” that is simpler than, say, a Gantt chart.Trello is intuitive and allows me to compartmentalize say, work, vs. volunteer work in differetn boards. I use it daily and I love it!
