Podio Reviews

by Douglasputnan

I decided to check out this app for a new work project. It has been about a year since I used it but I remembered clearly how much I liked the intuitive layout and the effortless syncing with google docs. It was great in the past. Now, I cannot even sign in to this app’s mobile app.
I have tried signing in with my google account, creating a new this app account using my google account, trying again with a new google account, deleting Podio and re-downloading it, but I keep getting the same result. As soon as I give this app full permission to access my google drive, Podio freezes briefly before going black and exiting Podio .
Developers, I have much respect and admiration for what you do and all that you have created. I trust that this is only a temporary bug and you are probably already working on this. If it helps, I’m running iOS 12.1 on an iPhone 7, but this problem seems to be an authentication error related problem.
Best of luck and thank you in advance to any response.

After hearing about it on a podcast, I thought Id try it out. Like the previous poster from a few days ago, I too cannot sign in with google. It shows me signed in, but then when I click on my id to access Podio , it shuts down. This happened 4 times. Im so bummed bc I was hoping this would be what I needed to organize my projects.

Well...all of my Customer Base and profile info is stored on your platform. Do maintenance on a saved version of your system. Don’t shut down my company because you are fixing slowness issues. And for the record, my stuff was working great. And you can’t tell me when you’ll be back up either?? I just purchased your best version upgrade of this app too.

I’ll be looking for another CRM for our company while this is going on. Or I’ll accept a full refund in lieu of leaving your company. And reverse my one star if you promise not to do this again.

You cost me an important deal today and we are dead in the water until you fix whatever is supposedly broken.

In the new update we can now accidentally close out of any task we are doing by simply dragging down from the top. This is extremely frustrating when you accidentally do it by simply trying to scroll down and end up lose ALL your progress. By far the dumbest thing to come to Podio, PLEASE FIX IT!!! It’s clearly slowing down productivity

Omg you don’t have to even grab the top bar you can accidentally close it by just scrolling down from the top...who in their right might thought this would be a positive change? If you’re gonna try and be like Apple and modernize your app at least do it right

I would love to see how 5-Star reviewers are using Podio ( I mean that genuinely). All Podio is good for me is receiving notifications and making comments. Theres features I use that I cannot view on Podio . I certainly could not start a project from scratch. It’s great for instant notifications and communication but that’s really it.

Not user friendly, not intuitive, and redundant when trying to enter data. Too many tags, too many categories, too many subdivisions to label things that should be simple. Expect to spend more time entering info than reaching out to prospects.

When you tap on a notification box, if Podio is not already open, it frequently takes me to a screen that displays “check your internet connection.” My connection is fine. I then have to press back, and then tap on the notification through the this app interface again to actually load the data.

Furthermore, notifications would be much more useful if they actually displayed some of the text of comments, that way I could determine at a glance if I need to engage.

this app development has slowed to a crawl since they were acquired by Cisco.

Podio has a great deal of flexibility in adding and editing data within this app. But as you navigate Podio every other edit causes Podio to crash. Continuously crash. It is probably related to iOS 11 update but something needs addressed on this app’s end since the new iOS has been introduced.

The mobile app works well except for ONE VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE. No matter what settings I put into this app or my phone, not a single notification will display on the this app app on my phone. It used to work, but no more. Nobody else in my organization can get notifications to work on their iPhones either. This is a critical issue.

this app is freezing when in one of the apps. Last week it was fine. Now it’s not working properly. Start to post an entry in the Podio , then the whole this app program on iPhone freezes. Have to relaunch this app, but still freezes at the same point. Also clicking on Help Support renders nothing, freezing this app again.

Additionally, this app needs to seriously consider adding the ability to delete a chat message. This should be a standard function, and should not be dependent on how many users request it. The problems caused by the lack of this basic function are huge. It’s analogous to not having a Back button.

Podio would be a lot better if it didn’t have so many crashes at least on iPhone. Seems like functionality would be awesome if it stated consistency with being opened.

There are annoyances, like My Views, doesn’t reflect the same format or convenience from the computer model. I like this app but I think Podio can be improved for functional utility.

I am unable to log into my account on the mobile app. I have been attempting to log into this app on with the mobile app for the last two months on my iPhone. Every time I attempt to log into the mobile app I see a blank screen, it never officially logs me into my account, or none of my workstations, instead it is completely blank. I use the desktop version of this app regularly and I have the upgraded version which I pay $24 a month but now matter how many times I attempt to log in on my iPhone it never works.

This application is convenient to have on the go. Some of the applications within Podio are designed to work way better on desktop. If you have a Lot of customers, looking through them can be frustrating.

App crashes when closing out notifications.

I’ve been using this app for approximately a year. It has a very large learning curve! But when mastered or paid for, this app is extremely useful!

by LexHouseBuyer

I cannot imagine following up with my leads without this app, great tool for every small business owner.

You can type in anything into the search bar i.e. last 4 digits of a client’s phone number and it will pull up results. Also great filter options for reports.

by JimYoung

This tool is extremely malleable/configurable, easy to get started with, and useful for a wide variety of use cases. And it’s actually very very affordable.

by JMJ13

Thanks for fixing Podio . Now I can use it without wanting to throw my phone.

The feed loads but then when you click an item, it doesn’t load. You have to then go back and click it again. This only occurs on mobile.

by Funk Dizz

Whenever I receive notifications on customer accounts, Podio is painfully slow to show me the updates. It’s always faster if I just go to the this app website and check my accounts there.

by Tlovelock

This is a great business app but there is so much updated needed to this. Podio on iPad and phone could be so much better. When will the update happen??

This is the one platform that can truly grow with your business!

We've used for over 3 yrs. Our office could not function without it.

by Dennes Garcia

I cannot believe I didn’t know of this sooner!
