MeisterTask Reviews & Product Details

The possibility to adjust each and every category of the project under the project. I will be able to add columns to each category, and if you need a "creative" column, I can add it, give you color codes, etc. This way you can make MasterTask do what you want and work the way you like. The free features suit your basic requirements, but Pro functions are also a good addition to premium staff.

It will be nice to be allowed to organize tasks by date. This feature is not currently accessible, although it is not difficult to organize. If it would be included, I say it has very little criticism of the main task.

Since cooperating with MeisterTask, we have developed more flexible communication. In some of the projects at MeisterTask, the volume of e-mail exchange has dropped almost to zero. Now we can monitor the current status of each individual project and know who is responsible for what.

For my business, which blends different organizational, community and profession consulting and individual training and coaching services, I like the flexibility of being able to select the different structures and use them as templates for our different services. For some, I use the first column to articulate objectives, requirements or client intel. on others, we get right to the task assignments. I love being able to include outside parties (advisors, consultants, clients, community) for transparency and being able to assign responsibilities to them and for them to hold our firm accountable. Collaboration is essential to our business model and social philosophy. The feature set is robust and flexible. It is a very adaptable product. Customize-able landing page and color choices make the program a friendly spot to work. Just found a snag and had to contact customer service. I was pretty mad, but it was handled quickly, competently and provided the clarity I needed regarding the security of the projects.

Lack of collaborator compliance. My subcontractors and clients don't use it as effectively as I wish they would (but they aren't employees, so it's only a suggestion). But I love the detail. I think it is more time constraint than dislike on their parts. Complex projects get more of their attention. So while it supports collaboration, if people don't routinely use the product it won't serve collaborations. There is a learning curve. It takes some time to set up all the different types of projects we have in the system. someone with more routine flows will find this extremely helpful. The Android app has been less functional, so I stopped using it, despite promised improvements to recent updates. I haven't yet circled back to see how it functions over the past 6 months since being at home makes the web app more convenient.

when I use it consistently it helps me avoid dropping the ball on certain projects, although if i were doing kanban i wouldn't overload my work.

It is the very best tool for the business of ours and I truly admire the way it combines with products that are popular as Zendesk or GitHub and Slack to make the workflow of ours a great deal of smoother. MeisterTask is actually easy and simple to do. Above all, it enables you to produce the very best graphics possible. It is very convenient to send reminders via email or even develop a checklist. I believe it is a great platform which offers a really good service.

I have had an excellent time using MeisterTask. It's a great deal more features than the competition that I used to work with. I discovered that the free edition lacked specific characteristics, like the capability to set specific activities and schedule durations.

It will be great to have the ability to adjust this particular program internally. It often brings back memories that I cherish. These memories have helped me to concentrate on the goals of mine. It is a fantastic tool for planning jobs and jobs. It offers all sorts of remedies to create your jobs much more efficient.

One of the best features we like is its reliable inbox; we can easily carry out group discussion and in person messages as well. Its Kanban board has made easy for us to track the progress of the projects. Its scheduling features provide us constant notification about our activities. It marks the task as completed and updates us about the pending tasks.

Miester Task offers various plans which also include a free plan. But the main problem is free plan is just a trail and those plans which could really give you some benefit are costly for small organizations and also lacks major features. So I think this would affect the small organization, in terms of popularity of this software.

We were facing huge trouble in managing our daily tasks, and it was very difficult for us to keep an eye on everyone’s tasks and their progress. Moreover due to these issues and pending activities, we were so inconvenient to accomplish our tasks in time. Also much of the time was also consumed in calling for meeting and writing the project lines manually was not less than a burden. However, we are satisfied now, because we have shifted to Meister Task, which has enabled us to manage our various tasks at one platform and it also provides us an insight we about everyone’s activities. We can easily carry out conversations and guide them about their goals.

This is the most well suited tool for our organization. I strongly admire its integrations with most popular products such as Zendesk, GitHub, Slack and many others in order to make our workflow smooth enough. Meister task has made each and everything simple and easier. The great thing about it is that it is helping us a lot in making better schedules. It is incredibly easy in triggering email alerts and creating checklists too. It’s enjoyable platform providing great services.

I am having pleasant experience with Meister task. It has wide range of features and functionalities than Trello that I had previously used. I found that its free version lacks a few of the features for instance the option for setting duration for a particular task or agenda.

I like the adaptability of this software with our organization. It always keeps me alert with its important reminders. These reminders keep me focused on acquiring set goals. It is best tool for planning your tasks and work. It gives you all possible solutions for making your tasks effective.

I really like they setup and simplicity of this program. Very easy to organize and keep track of all of our jobs. Easy to share with co-workers. Clear setup. I started with the free version, but as i got more invested i upgraded to the full version for all the extra capabilities. The ability to setup my board as i see fit. It tracks the change of category to category. It also has due dates for projects. It allows you to tag projects in specialized groups if needed. We also have the ability to use this on our phones with increases our response time to add notes for those client calls when we are in the field.

I think the only thing that is a dislike would be the subscription model. However all software companies are going to this model. There is some limitation with "automation" of tasked. I really enjoyed that with other software i have used. However they are constantly updating and adding new features.

Benefits of using this software are to keep track of all of our jobs. At any points in time we manage 30-40 projects with 15-30 potential prospects. It was a mess trying to keep my small business organized just though email. Items would get accidentally marked as read and disappear. We also have the ability to use this on our phones with increases our response time to add notes for those client calls when we are in the field.

As I look for a task list that provides UI to create a task very quickly and manage my task easily. I tested numbers of tools and finally stick on Meister Task. This is very fast, very easy, and can share your list to other team members Kanban UI And the best part is these features are available in the free version. The Pro version is something that will fulfill every need from task management apps. I'm using it for more than 6 months and it's awesome.

Should the option to delete tasks in bulk.

I manage my daily task with it. Manage my project as well. It gives you the ability to create your task and mange in run time.

MeisterTask is an online tool for task management with desktop version, that is a shell app actually. Tasks are easy to add, track, move in kanban. Time tracking is easy and statistics about it are also great.

When using a desktop version and you want to access Statistics or Preferences you are transferred to the browser which is annoying. Otherwise no major dislikes.

Mostly tracking my work and spent time on specific tasks and projects. Especially now with Covid-19 and working from home is important to have a tool to track what are you doing, how long it takes to finish a task, to be able to coordinate tasks with your team and to be able to create reports easily.

A lot of integration with many services. One cool this I really like is that you can create tasks via email which is very useful for bug reports (if you are a developer) Tags are really useful. It's easy to manage projects and interact with non technical persons though MeisterTask. Definitely the best value for money software for project management for my use case.

Sometimes it's buggy. Not always receiving push notifications on Android device. It's not easy to track latest activities on a project. User interface glitches (eg. while submitting comments and seeing a task update) Time tracking option can be improved. It doesn't offer a good overview on work. I am using another software for this.

I managed a small team connecting developers with designer, sales man and clients. Managed to organize the workflow in all projects for last 2 years.

The simple dashboard with very effective managing keys! They are easily accessible and can very easy to hover around

Nothing especially, all is working fine for me

I just used Meistertask and avoided vague chats on a platform and everything is on the place here

My favourite features: How easy it is to create tasks and move them between project sections/phases Task time tracking Calendar sync (iCal) 👍🏻 Task assignment

I would like to be able to edit tasks straight from a calendar view. It is tedious to update tasks in MeisterTask and then having to sync my calendar all the time. Also, being able to give a time slot for tasks other than the default 30 minutes. A lot of tasks take much longer than 30 minutes...

Keeping organized and on top of things, mostly. I like having a central space where I can have all of my to-do lists, both professional and personal

What I love most about MeisterTask is that when I start or return to a project it doesn't feel like I'm facing work! The ease of use and the array of customizations stimulates your energy and enables you to do more. And, should I not forget the daily inspiration! Moreover, the ability to work with MindMeister mapping your ideas and simply create or convert your tasks into a project is time efficient and Awesome!

What I dislike most about MeisterTask are its reports and layouts; notwithstanding, I'm pleased with the recent timeline update which is similar to the Gantt chart. Lastly, the inability to quickly switch from one project to the other; in addition, the inability to move a task from one block to the other without select the project for which you're already in. I like the fact that I can see other projects to send a task to, but I don't like that I need to verify the Project I'm in to move to complete, etc.

The problems I'm solving deal with getting things done accurately and on time in the L&D arena.

I like how I am easily able to move around tasks and assign tags as well as the color coding feature. I can name the tags specifically and also color them. I also use the board to organize my life as well. The different projects allow me to separate work from life as well. Its easy to move around the tasks and reorder them. The colors make it bright and organized. I also appreciate all the different icons for the different categories that I can select. Just keeps everything neat and organized. I cant believe i was using a simple word document before. I appreciate that they have a mobile app as well.

sometimes the program is slow to load and the responsiveness/syncing can be off at times. Sometimes on the mobile version of the tool it does not sync to things i've done in the desktop version and that can be annoying sometimes as I add critical notes on the go into TM (What i like to abbreviate Meister Task as).

Project management is a big problem solver, organization as well. Being able to see and move around tasks with ease is very important for me and that is the main problem MeisterTask helps me solve on a small scale. It also helps me organize if I have big life events such as weddings, big trips to plan or other tasks that are a big undertaking.

Kanban boards are great and lots of flexibility to create new columns. Constantly updated too.

Nothing so far! The free account now does have some limits, but the app doesn't.

Using a list for each person I work with and another for my own tasks. The columns are also useful for splitting a project into areas and then assigning tasks to those areas.

I like the customization and colors! I've introduced this tool to my teammates at work and we use it to organize events, projects, and more. No more spread sheets, no more printing things out. We just pull this up and assign tasks! You can also easily create multiple boards and attach files and more. I think there is a limit to free versions, but working for a nonprofit means we try and utilize as many features as we can. I've tried multiple things, but this was my favorite and integrated with Microsoft Teams, too. Other apps may also have, but this was the one I've been using now for a while.

The only downside is that some features are behind a paywall, but most of what you need can be found for free. But integration and a few other features may be worth getting once my team gets a bit of a budget.

Currently, I have no problems with MeisterTask (maybe formatting comments and such gets a little tough at first). But this has replaced post it notes, traditional project keeping and more. I even integrated into Microsoft Teams and found that it is an easy out of the box solution that I recommend to most of my colleagues.

It’s designed beautifully and easy to use. The additions they did to the Kanban system especially with the addition of a to-do list inside cards and due dates are certainly very helpful. Although I do think some work needs to be done particularly on displaying them and making them work seamlessly (without having to click on the cards one by one to check).

1. Biggest pet peeve - it seems to be an Electron app and not a native Mac app. While usable, I don’t think there is advantage to using MeisterTask on desktop compared to iPad/iPhone - I personally think something could be done to make the Mac app more distinctive compared to the iPad/iPhone app. 2. Also, being a web app, it’s performance is wanting compared to native Mac kanban app. I would open my laptop from sleep, go directly to MeisterTask, click on a card and start editing something halfway until it refreshes to a blank screen and the card display reappearing without saving my changes. Accordingly it becomes unresponsive once my laptop is disconnected from the internet. I tried some native Mac kanban apps through the App Store and all of them - without exceptions - performs much, much better. 3. Pricing. There’s a large jump between USD per month to USD 8.25. For something that I use personally without any team members to manage my workflow, 3 projects in the free tier is not very workable. It’s a very small number. I don’t need the unlimited projects of the USD 8.25 either. Something right in the middle (for example, let’s say 50 projects) with a more reasonable pricing would work. It’s much more expensive than Trello without much of the advantages. 4. Speaking of the USD 8.25 pricing, the paywall. I believe there’s been a new feature locked only for the business/enterprise users...which the Pro users does not really have an access to. It might’ve been a useful feature for productivity, but there’s no option for the Pro users to say trial that new feature (if you want to move them up to the Business accounts) or add on top of their Pro subscription, which, for the price and the relative lack of meaningful update, is still a bit too expensive for me. 5. Relative lack of new features. I’m not really sure whether there is a roadmap of what would be introduced to the app (particularly for the non-Business users?) I do think that there’s a lot that could be worked on such as (a) displaying to-do items directly on cards, (ii) “nested” kanban (so that it would be possible to have a kanban for a general work overview and then another one for each card to manage the minute details of your work or (iii) column autosort based on due dates (I’m not sure whether this is already in?) 6. Adjustment for personal use. This is more about how I use MeisterTask but if you’re a personal user, you probably won’t need the “assign work” feature. It would be great if that could be switched off as the user badges kind of clutters the interface.

Despite much of my complaints, I do think it’s a pretty useful app. It’s certainly very helpful in managing workstreams (especially if you have a lot of them).

More visually appealing version of Trello, along with more advanced features in its mid-level Pro version.

I'd like better Google Calendar integration. And actual priority tags instead of the "custom" ones you have to make

I run 3 different businesses, so the ability to make multiple "projects" that only have certain people invited to them is helpful.

Its fremium version is just great as you can have as much as projects you want to! Use with other programs. I use with Meister Mind Mapping. Mindmeister. Your whole agenda can be on one screen so nothing is left to chance. Checklists can be set up and then added as necessary. Due dates can be added.

The training isn't available on the app, but they have been exceptional to work with. They do have a training website. But the moment I ask a question, they have an answer back to me. Honestly, I feel I have a relationship with them and it has just been in the communication efforts they have given. Tasks ordering according to date would be a great feature as well. I would love to invite a "Viewer" without permission to contribute to a project or give permission to a task in the project. The bottom horizontal scroll bar is SUPER hard to click accurately because it's so skinny. Plus, since it disappears when you're not moused over it, most people don't even know it's there, and they all complain that they can't easily reach columns that are too far to the right of the page. Make it NOT disappear, and please make it taller so that it's easier to click and drag.

It really helps to save the time while you're working, not to miss the deadline as an educational company

The functionality of MeisterTask is mostly intuitive and easy for most people on my team to use. I like that we can update settings or information in one section and be able to update other sections either through automation or by simple selection tools. The brainstorming tool stands out to me as something that is very useful that can quickly outline ideas and assign tasks formally within projects.

Some of the more advanced features can be complicated for some people to manage. There are so many different components and information panels that it can get confusing understanding which tools to use and how to use them best for our particular needs.

I personally stay more in touch with my team and am better informed about project tasks and due dates with MeisterTask. I can track who is assigned to particular tasks and have a useful overall picture of a project plan that allows me to work more productively towards meeting our group's ultimate goals.

First and foremost, the dashboard and overall interface has a crisp design that's easy to navigate. There are distinct and colorful sections and panels that really stand out and help me to quickly identify projects, tasks and sub items. MeisterTask has dynamic Kanban boards, calendars and other highly visual tools that allow us to stay organized and flexible. We can easily change task details and give status updates that reach everyone in real time. MeisterTask can be integrated with other office and productivity tools we use like Google Drive and Slack.

There are some usability issues that we dealt with at the beginning that took some time to get used to. There are many panels to deal with, which can be overwhelming and confusing at first. Using MeisterTask via the mobile app isn't as intuitive as the browser-based version. We can't use the browser-based version without an internet connection.

Our team uses MeisterTask to assign and stay on top of project tasks. It has really helped to streamline planning activities and serve as a hub for status updates and communication. We can smoothly add files through our computer or online storage accounts, which simplifies the logistics of file sharing. I personally have met deadlines more often and generally have less stress and confusion by using on MeisterTask.
