ByeBox

The UI and UX are extremely poor.
The UI alone feels like it was conceived by a team working on Windows 98.
The UX is arguably the Achilles Heel of Hibox. The bespoke system of having your streams tie into your Files, Tasks, etc. is one that sounds like it should be a match made in heaven, but the joke is on you! That's not God, that's Satan!

Whenever you add a task, boom, it's there staring you down in your stream. Whenever you add a file - here'sssssss Johnnnnnnnyyyyyyyyyyyy - it's trying to axe murder you. The best part? When you want to clear up your stream by simply deleting the task or file from the stream's message thread, it's as if it were a voodoo doll and by taking that one action of deleting it from your stream, you inadvertently delete it off the face of the Earth.

It simply does not make sense to me why anyone would believe in a system that is so intrusive in a sense that it's a hindrance. Why do I need to see tasks and files littered in my feed? Good UX aims to keep things as decluttered as possible, but Hibox throws that all out the window and just wants every facet of the system to vomit all over your productivity.

What's even worse is that you generally believe that a product will get better based on user feedback, but looking at their development roadmap, there's seemingly ZERO user feedback included - huh? The biggest question mark looming over the future development of Hibox is their plan to launch a scheduling tool. All aboard the Trend Train!
-Billy Mays voice-
But wait! There's more!
They are also launching a LMS and CRM? Huh? Come on guys...when Hibox, your bread and butter product, is so, so, sooooo poor, how can you even CONSIDER, let alone execute on adding more products to the lineup? Who will ever take your brand seriously if you put in 20% of the effort to develop a product before moving to the next?

SaaS are always a work-in-progress, but this is like an early-Alpha product backed by a team with seemingly zero focus or commitment.

Could not warn people enough about this product. Too many red flags. RUN!

I couldn't love it more!!

Hibox is one of my FAVORITE AppSumo purchases. I use it every day and it has completely changed the way I communicate with my team. In my mind, it replaces Teams and Slack as it does everything you need all under one roof.

I'm absolutely thrilled to have this in my toolbox and I know I'll use it for many years to come.

I love it

This app contains all the options we needed to communicate correctly. Slack does not have all the functionality we needed and allows us to do without Asana or Trello. If you use the basic task management of this apps Hibox allows it.

Hibox has to improve the reports of time worked because it does not allow filtering by task, project and client like other time trackers as Toggl. I think the app should also improve the reports of tasks in progress and completed.

I also think that it should improve usability and configuration options but it has the basic functionalities we need and that makes up for it.

To finish saying that the mobile app requires updating but it works correctly.

For my team it has been the perfect choice to work all the functions of 3 different applications such as Slack, Asana and Toggl. It is correctly translated into Spanish.

Thanks

Amazing Deal

Thank you for this amazing deal!
What is the most useful:
1-Ulimited file storage. Thanks!
2-Simple but powerful task manager
3-Great for team communication too.

What needs to be improved in my opinion
1-Please add feature to create folders to sort files!
2-Please add feature to create tasks based on topics, not only based on room's name!
3- In the future please consider Microsoft teams integration to import message or why not send messages/Files to Teams!

Hi Sormick,

Thanks so much for your wonderful review! You're our first ;)

Thanks for sending us the list of improvements as well! Very useful. We are adding #1 to Hibox pretty soon (around January) as it's been requested quite a bit lately. I have added the other two to our feature request list and we'll see if we can get those added.

Thanks again!
