Worst deal on AppSumo. Not only the platform was full of bugs and not updated. Today they created V2 and asked all LTD users to switch to a monthly plan at 30% off. Is this even allowed on Appsumo’s terms?
I love the concept and simplicity of this product. I think there's potential here, but for me, it is half-baked.
What I love: 1. Simple UI - If you are looking for simple project management and just that with simple tools and task management to think this will help you. 2. Auto schedule - I love the fact that it will automatically adjust all dependent tasks if you adjust. 3. Show Baseline - You can see all the "previous" schedules with this you can compare where the project got delayed.
What I don't love 1. Configuration - I can't configure my workspace or project; it is way too simple or limited. Example: In Profile, I can only edit: a. General - Name and Profile b. Preference - Default Workspace, Task Activity View c. Account: Password d. Email: Pending Task Updates, Task Activities.
In Workspace: a. Name: Change the name of the workspace b. Users: Add/Delete users and change roles c. Advance Tab: delete organization
Project Settings: Name, Description, Due Date Default View.
2. Slow load times - Every time I get out of the board view, it seems to take a while to load all the boards.
3. Integration I can't get used to the point that the integration is located in the "?" or "Help" icon; it's not even in the workspace's configuration list. Also, Google Calendar is only one-way integration from ST to GCalc. I haven't checked other integration,
4. Timeline view In Timeline, when you zoom in to show the dates, you will see Month and Day Number, you don't know if it's a weekend, so I have to open up my calendar to check if the date is a weekend.
5. No Project Wide File management. You can't upload files project-wide. When uploading pictures, it won't give you a preview of the image, and it will just show the file name. No file information in files, like date uploaded or which task it is connected. No search function in the files.
Probably other things need to improve, but I've only used the product for 3hours, and I quit.
It's up to you if you'll buy one code and wait for them to improve their product. But they are not yet an alternative to Asana or Clickup. However, they said that they just raised money, and it will be used to develop their product further and hire great developers.
Time will only tell.

Thanks for the review. However, it seems like you needed to contact the support first before posting the review. As some of the negatives are way off. Let me point them out:
1. You can't customize workspace or project enough - Really?! We have one of most complex features like making a Group public to the organization, making a group private to the organization. Then projects within the group can...
I've had a quick look and it seems OK, so for the price I'm rating it 5. Asana & Monday.com are expensive pieces of kit. I thought it might be slow over here in Australia but I'm happy with the speed, no problems there.

Not a lot of developments recently
It is also one of those products in which there will be developments during launch time but no developments thereafter ....
Really there are no major developments recently not sure because of the budget crunch

Looks professional and easy to use, so far!
As a newbie to this type of software, I have found it easy to use, so far!
Obviously, I need to use it a bit more and once I have had a real opportunity to get to know it inside out then I will complete another review later!

Looks like a decent Asana alternative
