Redbooth Reviews

by SKnox19

Just as I’m mastering this app something has happened to Redbooth . I’m constantly having to force quit Redbooth on my MacBook and then it has not saved my work. In the web version it freezes a lot.

The mobile app is terrible. You can kind of see what’s happening in your workspace but you cannot IM teammates or add tasks.

Very frustrating. I’m having to communicate via Skype and this app.

I would not recommend Redbooth until they’ve worked out the bugs. There is nothing worse than doing double work.

I also don’t like the way tasks and updates are presented.

It’s mid 2020... any service that doesn’t provide at minimum 2FA SMS is disqualified from being a vendor for us. We had a contractor bring this tool to us but because of the lack of reasonable and expected security features, we cannot use it.

Extremely frustrating that Redbooth, after years, still doesn’t have time tracking despite the fact that it’s a key feature on one of the paid tiers. If we’re going to have to upgrade to get time tracking, it should at least be available across platforms. If you’re a consultant or work in any role with clients and want to quickly log time while you work or while you’re meeting with clients, you have no choice but to use a different system or open up your laptop to start a timer.

Redbooth lacks so much parity with the browser. There is no way to enter a carriage return for multi line comments. You can move a task to another list but not to another workspace like you can in the browser. App also has bugs where you can’t comment and need to close the task and reopen to enter a comment.

I pretty much only use Redbooth as a reader. If I need to do anything useful Redbooth doesn’t do it.

I loved this app in the beginning, but with every update, they change something so drastic that I have to essentially relearn things or change the way I’ve set up my workflow. Mostly, they remove the things that I loved in the beginning, such as seeing the timelines and dates from the main page of my tasks (the most recent update means I have to click on each individual task to see what it is due, which means I can’t track my team as easily). Or being able to set a begin and end date with my project templates in the desktop version (the current update means that I can only use a template if the project starts that day, rather than in the future).

It’s intensely frustrating and I’m leaning towards trying other programs.

Redbooth downloaded ok onto my work iPad but continually freezes. I have to keep deleting and reinstalling Redbooth to see anything. This is a hinderance when I’m on the road and trying to complete tasks.
Please fix it.

Redbooth needs major work. The reason for using this app on desktop is because it’s superior to many other applications, but then you use the mobile app and all the strengths that draw you to this app desktop vanish and you wonder why you use this app desktop if their mobile app is so lame

Absolutely love Redbooth. I’m a graphic designer for a T-shirt company and it’s great for my boss to send me info when new jobs come in and I can send her files and keep everything for that job in one place. HOWEVER, Redbooth keeps turning off my notifications randomly. So while I think it’s been several days since my last job...they are actually piling up, my boss is asking questions, and sometimes new info doesn’t even show up until I’ve refreshed Redbooth a few times. My notifications turned off a few weeks ago, and now it won’t even let me turn them back on. It’s very frustrating.

We use this app for our business but the mobile app is lacking. We have technicians and managers in the field who need access to notes. We keep client information on this app like phone numbers and address. Redbooth does not allow you to click a phone number to make a call or click an address and go to it in maps. It also does not allow you to “copy” these fields to paste into phone or maps. Most other apps have these features, so it shouldn’t be an issues to make it happen.

Redbooth is updating frequently and gets better upon every update. I use the desktop client, but the mobile app must be as flexible as the desktop. Items that need updated: be able to drag tasks and reorder, ability to modify sub tasks, add files via Dropbox, google drive, etc. , be able to delete workspaces, and a way to organize workspaces into groups or collections similar to Trello. At the rate they are moving, I'm willing to bet these updates will happen very soon!

Love this app and love Redbooth until one of the more recent updates which supposedly supported dark mode. It’s a complete mess. More screens that are wonky looking on unreadable to count. Not sure it was actually tested before release...

I love that iOS lets you tell the system you don’t want to be asked rate apps. I review apps all the time, but my choice. While I love this app both as an app & service, they are ignoring that system preference and seemingly won’t let me use Redbooth until I rate it. So I have, 1-Star.

I have to admit, I'm horrible at keeping a to-do list. From post-it's to project management apps, I've tried everything to keep me organized. this app is the only thing to stick. It's full of features yet somehow very simple to use. The this app mobile app is great too, allows me to keep up with projects while I'm out of the office. They are constantly upgrading it with new features and bug fixes. I feel our entire marketing team is functioning better now that we're all using this app.

My self and our team use it everyday. It’s clear, fast and easy to learn.

I'm not sure why user uniquelight had a problem completing a task (see review on May 19, 2014). It worked for me.

A filmmaker told me about this software this afternoon, so I thought I would try it out. So far, it it seems quite intuitive. Pretty user Interface.

I've only been playing with Redbooth for an hour. So far, my only complaints would be that I am not able To create notes in the iPad Version.

Love this software.

Stay on top of all tasks and only assign them to people as needed. If you have a lot of tasks, this is what you’ve been looking for.

by BeckysLake

Been using this app for over 10 years now incorporating it into several different companies. Intuitive, easy to navigate and keeps the whole team on task and on time.

I’ve tried every darn one of these project management SaaS solutions known to man, and this one is the most streamlined, elegant, and sufficient for all my needs. It’s always had a good consistent experience between desktop and mobile as well.

by Rahuljiresal

this app has been something that has helped us be productive with task management. The product is really easy to use, and the iOS app is simple and does the job well for the features it supports. The thing I like the best is that they have great customer support and their development team has a short turnaround time on the features we’ve requested so far.

So far, having tried every method in existence, I’ve come to the conclusion that this app is the best overall planning and collaboration tool. As they add more feature and actually planning frameworks and integrations, the sky is the limit. It is also extremely easy to use and uncluttered. Love it. Keep up the great work to everyone at the company.
