Quire reviews

Great project management tool

Opmerkingen: It has been great, I've been using their free tier for almost 5 years and find it extremely easy and useful. I can invite clients to see their projects and it has nice and easy to understand gantt charts and to-do lists. From the free tier alternatives this would be my definite go-to project management tool.

Pluspunten:

It is super easy and doesn't have any fluff or bloat

Minpunten:

Missing some integration capabilities (last time i checked: webhooks) and their API is not available in many automation services (yet)

Simple, but extremely powerful software

Opmerkingen: Overall I'm loving it and using Quire on a daily basis. It made my life so easy that I cannot believe how I managed before without it. It's clean, elegant and for me very easy to use. It took me maybe 2-3 hours to figure out most of the stuff and a day or so to feel really comfortable with it. Quire has all the features I wanted to have and gives me the ability to organize my business efficiently. It's brilliant that I can have several workspaces with multiple projects. Which I can further split into nested tasks with subtasks, but also into linked sublists with differnt view, e.g. boards. Even if I'm looking for something it turns out to be better thought out then how I would expect it to be or look like. Plus I can get an overview of progress stats and progress summary. Not to mention the support is amazing! Fast, responsive and eager to help. Something that you won't see much when it comes to free tools. Honestly, I can't believe it really is a free tool.

Pluspunten:

Simple. Fast. Intuitive. Not distracting. Gives everything a freelancer, SMBs or corporate might need. It's not overly complicated with unnecessary features. Tree structure is absolutely awesome! This way you can break every project into actually manageable tasks. Every task or subtask can have priority, start and due date, responsible person or external team and files attached. FREE.

Minpunten:

Minimalistic view might give an impression it's super basic and won't provide what you need [but the truth is exactly the opposite]. Some people might find lack of chat or message board a disadvantage [but for me tasks comments are enough and allow me to keep things tidy]. There is no calendar view so it can be seen as a negative by some people [but there is a timeline view which is good enough for me]. Not sure how pricing structure will look like in the future.

Simple task software

Pluspunten:

Clean, open spaces, no clutter. Connected with Gmail easily

Minpunten:

This software has no templates,. It is a very basic task software

Everything you need, and nothing that you don't

Opmerkingen: It took all of 4 days for me to become comfortable with their version of markdown and the in line task entry system. Creating check boxes, tables, asigning tasks in line, assigning deadlines and start dates in line, all of it.
There has been no issues to date with the software, and I am now using it to organize my entire life. NOT just my working life.
Getting my team onboard was easy, and everyone who uses the software comments on how easy it was to learn to use in our context, and how lightweight/quick it is to use.

Pluspunten:

Simple UI Easy inline entry of tasks and restrictions such as due date, start date, assignees, tags, files and everything else one could need to get their tasks in order and their team up to date In line chat and descriptions let people talk about important issues The overview and kanban board options are great for people who organize their information in different ways, and the ability to have the boards interact with one another in various ways is excellent

Minpunten:

Very minimalistic (A positive for me, but maybe not for everyone!) Constant improvements being rolled out (A positive for me, but not everyone wants to have to learn new features constantly) FREE!

Amazing product , exceptionnal and generous customer service

Opmerkingen: Very good, the best "tasks" app we ever used.

Pluspunten:

Everything, but i Prefer: - Possibility to assign a single task to multiple user (and when it's get done, it goes away for everyone) - Possibility to organize yours tasks by organization, projects and boards - Possibility to create weekly, monthly, etc tasks - Possibility to attach document to each task - User friendly - French language ! (and the translation is good!) - The generosity and help from the customer service (as a small and poor charity organisation who rely on volunteers who work from home, we need this kind of service to complete our projects)

Minpunten:

- maybe the fact that when you look a subtask on a board , you can't see their connection to the "complete task" and it can be somewhat confusing to differentiate between similar subtask (Actually we just have to always name the subtask with the name of the complete task, so we have a way around)

A Checklist on Steroids

Opmerkingen: We're having our Support team use it to track all of the little to large tasks they need to work on so fewer tasks fall through the cracks. I use it for project management in creating training content for our company.

Pluspunten:

- Nested checklists - Ability to adjust settings for each task regardless if it is nested or not - Incredible due date functionality - Constant updates based on customer feedback - Free to use - Basic reporting capability - Kanban board - Many ways to visualize what you're working on (tags, statuses, due dates, descriptions, assignees)

Minpunten:

- Seems simple to use, but there's so many details to learn. Having training would be great! - Sometimes updates interrupt my workflow. I can usually learn to work around it.

Best To-Do list app!

Pluspunten:

One of the best project management apps I ever used. They have countless of features, but here are the ones that I love the most: • Clean interface: know for their minimalism style and is built around the GTD method. • Easy collaboration: A simple link that you can share with others. • Kanban board • Task Reminders • Webpage+mobile app quick sync: They provide offline syncing. Another huge plus is that they're completely free. No upgrade needed!

Minpunten:

They don't have a Gantt Chart. Hope they're working on it! It's quite important for bigger teams because we need to keep track of individual tasks.

Best Task-Management Software i have ever seen

Opmerkingen: just like it!

Pluspunten:

its free, its easy to use, perfect implementation for usability

Minpunten:

difficult to say... i have to sing-in for all Members to do the configuration (no Admin-Tool or default settings for whole organization)

The best all-rounder in organization tools.

Opmerkingen: I have used this app to a great extent to map out my studies by using Dr.Ali Abdaals technique of forced recall using questions.I have found that features like "Prioritization","Task Status","My Tasks","Calendar view","Kanban board" and "Filter" options very useful to achieve the goal of having an idea of weaker topics and mapping out strategies and plans to tackle them which is very crucial for any project organizer.

Pluspunten:

I as a student wanted to organize my studies as projects similar to Dr.Ali Abdaals technique of forced recall using questions.I organized each of my subjects as projects and made my chapters as 'tasks' under them.Using Quires NESTED LIST option..I was able to make subheadings under these 'chapter tasks' and further subdivided them into topics and those topics were further divided into concepts as 'sub-subtasks ' as the NESTED LIST feature of Quire allows us to make as many sub levels of tasks as we need.This is among my favorite features.Once I made these subheadings..I wanted to test my ability to answer these subheadings and I marked those topics which I wasnt able to answer properly as 'High priority'.These 'High Priority' tasks could also be later accessed exclusively by using the 'FILTER' feature which is extremely crucial for reviews. The FILTER feature also allows us to view tasks based on percentage of task completed and start/due dates which I found to be very useful for planning out my revisions and reviews of the topics.As I went about my revision..with each revision and review that i did ..i would mark out the task by 'percentage completed'.For example..if I my goal was to have 5 revisions of a topic like Blood vessels..once i completed 2 revisions of the topic id mark the topic as 40% completed.I found this feature to be very useful to keep a track on how much I have been able to revise and therefore the quality of my work.

Minpunten:

The weekly progress chart is a good feature to have but I would really have loved it if there was a daily progress chart tracker.It would have been extremely motivating.

Wish I found this sooner

Opmerkingen: Most of my project are freelance and project based, so i require a project management platform that will allow me to manage several projects for more than one organization. I had been using Trello for this and whilst it has served be well, it does not have a good structure for organizing tasks and making sure they are followed up, in that sense its a bit too informal. Quire bring structure to the tasks and a simple interface that bring focus to clarity to the project.

Pluspunten:

From the moment I first started using it, everything just worked the way it should, incredibly intuitive, none of the bloating or over complicated functionality that other project/task management platforms suffer from. For me the killer feature it the 'tree structure' approach to task management, this is how it should be done, take a big task/project and break it into smaller and smaller manageable tasks. Each subtask has the same feature set as the main task which is exactly how it should be done because why should any task have less importance. The interface is clean and functional, everything is where is should be, it just works. You have Organizations, then projects, then tasks, which is a great way to organize things, especially if you are freelance like me and do projects for a number of different organizations. I am a long time trello user, and for anything looking for an alternative that does more than just kanban, this is for you, it will allow you to really structure tasks and make sure they are followed up.

Minpunten:

No Kanban is going to be a big negative for many people, but apparently that is coming soon. Interface might be too simple for some people, or perhaps lacking features such as chat, message board, rich text markup, etc etc, but that could be seen as a good thing by others. Pricing has not been released either, that is something to be concerned about , especially if you invest time in adopting this platform but then it turns out to be overpriced. That is probably my biggest concern at the moment as features can be added all the time, but pricing can be a deal breaker.

Extremely powerful yet simple to use

Opmerkingen: Much productive team, that spends less time on email, and more time completing tasks.

Pluspunten:

Quire has a very powerful tree like interface to tasks management, and it also is very intuitive, simple and elegant. The tree can be collapsed / expanded at will for each user, that can filter the tasks in many ways. Integration with Google G Suite is excellent: Same login procedure, Google Drive, and email of deadlines and all kind of notifications. Every information is synced online with all users. Simple to use 'red dots' signal the tasks that had meaningful changes. Quire adoption is very easy and straightforward. As new users are invited to projects and start to use the simple yet powerfull interface, at no time they realize they could use it to other needs/projects, and start their own projects/assignments to other users. Any new project we can think of is rapidly scathed in Quire. It's viral. Right after starting to use Quire, we've been dealing with much less emails and calendar reminders, our users focus on tasks directly on Quire. With Quire, stake holders only set notifications on tasks that they are really interested in.

Minpunten:

As simple and powerful, it's easy for new users to mistakenly complete tasks, so we need to sometimes review the 'all completed tasks' panel (or the notification email) to assure those are really done.

My new tool to plan, develop and keep track of my business projects and goals.

Pluspunten:

First it is free! Amazing! And then it really helps me having a global vision of our business plans and projects, it is quite easy to use and all of our team members got used pretty rapidly to all work in Quire instead of sending chats and endless emails threads.

Minpunten:

Not really... at this point it is just a question of discipline and sticking to our methods for communications. Maybe a fonction to send directly to our email any mentions with a @myname in case the Bell sign up there is filled with too many notifications.

Great To-Do list with excellent features and phenomenal customer support

Opmerkingen: The ability to organize my tasks more efficiently than ever before

Pluspunten:

The hierarchical ordering of tasks has allowed me to break down my to-do list into extremely organized and manageable goals. The additional functionality of Quire (priority setting, tags, filtered and sorted views, etc.) only adds to their already fantastic platform. Additionally, their customer service is out of this world. Within several days of signing up for Quire, Crystal, a member of their team, reached out to me via email asking how I was liking the product. I responded with a question that was answered within 15 minutes (at 10pm no less). I then responded, adding that I thought the addition of data regarding the time spent on tasks would be helpful, and Crystal emailed back writing that Quire will add a timer feature for such a purpose. Overall, I'm extremely happy with the software and can't wait to see it progress as its popularity increases (as I'm sure it will).

Minpunten:

The only thing I would like to see that currently does not exist is the aforementioned timing data for tasks. As I said in my pro column, when I mentioned this to Crystal, I got a quick response saying that a feature would be added, so I can't say I even have any cons.

Among the various task management software apps available, Quire is a gem!

Pluspunten:

* Easy to use * Can define a task along with all its attributes (tag, due date, assignee) in a single line without any mouse clicks * Keyboard shortcuts (you don't have to use the mouse!) * Markdown support (this is fantastic!) * Search and filtering capability * Tagging capability * Can set priorities for tasks * Can set due dates and set reminder times * Can highlight text, color text * Hierarchical management (organization, project, tasks) * Ability to move tasks between projects * If using in a team, easy to set assignees * Extremely responsive customer support (5 stars) * Feels very lightweight! (personal opinion) * Can set 'In Progress' and 'Complete' for tasks * Can attach local files and files from Google Drive * Available on iOS, Android and Web What am I missing??? :) Oh yes! All this and yet it's Free! :)

Minpunten:

Nothing comes to mind! * Over time I'd like to see different ways of viewing the same data, for e.g. Kanban Style, Gantt chart etc. * In addition to due date, I'd like to set the reminder time while entering a task itself.

Amazing product for small startups withoud funding at the start of the project

Opmerkingen: Project management

Pluspunten:

A lot of features + free software, which is very important for small startups

Minpunten:

Tracking system Scrum methodology functionality

All in one for free!

Opmerkingen: Solves everything for FREE!!!

Pluspunten:

Finally, I've completed my project management app search with Quire. I want the kanban feature and gnatt charting without the pricetag that comes with and Quire supplies it all. Very easy to pick up

Minpunten:

Sometimes when making edits on the desktop app, edits are saved when downloading certain lists and re-uploading them as the lists need to then be updated online too. Perhaps an instant sync button would be helpful for edits within the app to show up online.

As easy as using Notepad, as powerful as Word.

Opmerkingen: Our tasks and projects has been streamlined. I am so impressed that I even use it on a personal level with my own children.

Pluspunten:

There are many things that I like about Quire. The first is how easy for us to get started. I also like that I could have a chat/notes for every task and sub-tasks. I love the integration with Google Drive and Google Calendar.

Minpunten:

I would like to see some integration with Dropbox will be great. I also think the interface needs to be slightly better.

I have really loved using Quire after trying so many different PM tools. Has made my work so easy!!!

Opmerkingen: This software has made my overall work really easy to manage.

Pluspunten:

I like Quire unlimited subtasks feature as it allows me to break a bigger problem to small chunks and then accordingly manage the tasks.

Minpunten:

Missing native android app and lack of calendar feature. Additionally, I would like to have a feature in Quire where I can view all tasks in at least 10 projects. The current limit is 5!

Quire is brilliant. I have been using it for over 6 months. I really happy.

Opmerkingen: It helps us to manage our tasks in a better and a more efficient manner. It lets me keep a track of tasks on the move through my iphone.

Pluspunten:

The tags funtionality is the best. Not many Project Management tolls have that. It's super fast and works well on iPhone too. I like the notifications functionality on iPhone.

Minpunten:

The file upload size is only 5 MB. That's a major constraint. This should be raised to atleast 500 MB. You don't want to upload files elsewhere, share links and waste time.

Great software for project collaboration!

Pluspunten:

Ease of use and quick setup. Everything looks very minimalistic and neat.

Minpunten:

There are some things that I'd love to see but the project seems to be under heavy development. So more features are coming.

Slick and clean - A must have

Pluspunten:

Clean, simple look and great features for task and project managment, that help you organise your workflow. Everything from sublists to the overarching structure and the assignment system and to the possibility to set every task into a timeline makes this the perfect productivity tool, that help you actively structure your thoughts, while you plane every task for your team.

Minpunten:

I would not recommend mobile use, since that gets confusing very fast. The entrance to the app is a bit steep, since Quire looks so simple, that you can not see at first glance, what more this app has to offer.

Great Software !!!

Opmerkingen: Great!

Pluspunten:

Easy to use software with great Task managing features. Quire helps a lot in keeping everything up to date and structured.

Minpunten:

Some more advanced features could be a bit more intuitive to use. But not really an issue.

It helps me to manage a huge amount of tasks in a logical way, without being too worried about time.

Opmerkingen: Time management was extremely improved.

Pluspunten:

E-mail notifications, Google Drive integration, External teams, Multiples ways to define a deadline and recurrent tasks.

Minpunten:

I think tags should be per project and users may have their own tags only visible to them to organize their personal Quire.

Excelent, Help all the sectors in my job

Opmerkingen: Time, Many time

Pluspunten:

Easily to use, Beaultiful and usefull, everybody in my job like so much because they saved many time.

Minpunten:

for being free i think that are perfect, if they have a cost and add new things, I Belive that will be better

All the plates now have their organized task list

Opmerkingen: I recently changed roles in my organization from a customer service role to a higher level project based role. I realized I was jumping from pillar to post and not catching all my to do items. Finding Quire has been game-changing.

Pluspunten:

I love how easy it is to set it up. I love how everything is color coded. This has already made an impact.

Minpunten:

Not sure I can answer that yet as a new user. Will update my reveiw if I find something I don't like. Maybe if it would actually DO the work for me?
