Best PM tool to ever grace AppSumo (okay, I also really love Nifty...) full stop.
Jumppl? SmartTask? Project.co? and many more have NOTHING on Ora.

Truly one of the best UX's I can recall in the past few years of LTDs.
It's extremely fast to load. Fast to scroll, by simply grabbing the background of the board and dragging.
PACKED full of features, and with the addition of the messaging suite, including video calls, it took everything to the next gear...and then some. There are a ton of other improvements that have been made since it last graced AppSumo.

All of the improvements that have come with Ora, similarly to Nifty, are extremely polished. They don't have the philosophy that they need to rapidly develop to stay relevant. They broke the mould the first time and they are focused on quality, polished implementations of anything new - I love that. Even with the "beta" aspect of the messaging and video calls, it still feels very polished. A heck of a lot better than what I've seen from "stable" releases in other PM tools...

The team has also always stood behind the LTD users. Not once have I ever had an issue with the company as a LTD user - they truly value those who buy into these deals. We're not seen as a burden.
Support is always helpful in answering my questions as well.

This is one of those no-brainer deals, truly. There's a reason it had nearly 5 stars with 90 reviews last time (I also don't recall any sort of incentives provided for leaving a review, if memory serves me well) so that should speak volumes to the quality and execution of Ora.

My only gripe? And this could be a deal breaker for some...is that there is no Billing/Invoicing. They had it as "Coming Soon" during the last campaign, which is half the reason I bought into it, but then it was pulled months later. It's now back on the roadmap as "Planned" but now that these big updates are out of the way, I would really love to see this come to fruitition so we can take billable hours and time tracking on projects and convert them into invoices!
I would also like to see the ability to add multiple calendars to sync to, so that I can keep a clear overview of everything going on.

Keep up the great work and looking to the future of Ora! Ora3 is an AMAZING iteration! Let's make it even better! :)
