Could have easily received 5 tacos

I've been looking for a deal like this since I missed out on Plutio. Here's my 2 cents to all possible buyers.

Pros
*****
- Easy to work with (so are most similar tools - great UX is key nowadays)
- Nice features, time tracking, reports (tracked time, task progress)
- Affordable for 1 user as LTD
- Useful tool to have but limited to 2 users.
- Ability to upload own background image
- Agenda feature
- Ideal for a 1 man company or personal use (based of stacking &
feat. compared to competitors)
- Hope Ora continues to grow, listen to customers, improve and remain in
business for many more years.

Cons
******
- Product sold as half complete with promises of invoicing, chat, mobile apps.
- Limited colors (no customization for background color)
- Limited background images (no feature to upload a few and save in
folder for later use)
- Limited use of color customization for customizing objects individually.
- ONLY 2 USERS FOR $39, most companies start a product with 3 to 5 users
STANDARD.
- Claiming they are better than Plutio, they miss crucial features which could
make the app better and worth the investment.
- Limited font/text customization in task descriptions
- No whitelabel (that I know of) for those needing this feature.
- No invoice or proposals like e.g. Previous Plutio deal on Appsumo
- Integrations need to be on par with competitors
- Training videos/guides for complete beginners to help optimize use of Ora.
- THIS LTD IS NOT FOR COMPANIES THAT CANNOT AFFORD IT BASED ON
STACKING PRICES. Rather get lifetime deals to infinity or save your money
and wait for a better deal You end up paying a crap load for very little users,
rather get unlimited users elsewhere.

Biggest Con of this product
********************************
Unlike many other similar apps and deals, Ora does not incur extra cost by providing extra users for Appsumo, their deal stack makes no sense and feel they are here just for making money and don't really listen to the Appsumo community.

With that said, I am worried that they would listen even less to customers after buying the deal and requesting features, need help etc. Other comments suggest their roadmap never materializes e.g. mobile apps planned months ago.

They could have easily received 5 tacos and gotten tons of sumolings as well as referrals but their attitude and unwillingness to offer a better deal tells us what type of business and mindset they have, unlike the Sociamonials etc.

TO APPSUMO
****************
Your deal stacking has gotten out of hand and you will soon loose sumolings to competitors if you continue this trend. Only you have the power to vet companies such as Ora before launching to your ever so faithful and trusting community who not only brought you to where you are but also became reliant on you for amazing deals. Go back to the old Appsumo, where ever missed deal made you regret for months (not thank goodness I'm glad I didn't waste money on that crap deal).
