    The program is visually elegant, simple to use, and has all of the features required to get started in the free edition. I really enjoy the fact that I can add comments, links, tags, and checklists to each task entry. I can divide projects and assign duties to team members. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    To use this tool, we only need a computer, which we can access with email or Google; carrying out our projects is safe, and we keep the whole team informed of the progress of each task, and projects can be carried out Kanban-style and maintain a tracking time spent.

    Ridiculus. And now we are looking for something to migrate to. Maybe Freedcamp or maybe back to Trello. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

    We recently started using the Business package of Meister Task and have been blown away by the UI the clear and simple dashboards and the amazing functionality! Injust a few weeks we've been able to completely reaster the way the company approaches project management across both large and small clients across multiple territories. This tool is more than useful, it has the ability to quickly become a core player in your day to day live!

    I've witnessed people getting visibly angry when they hear they need to learn a new tool and task settings don't work the same. Exporting is very frustrating and tutorials are not easy to find.

    The app can be really buggy and not useful so I just use the desktop version.

    All of my clients that I am working with are all on one screen, so that everyone I am working with is top of mind. I slide them over to a new column as they progress. I have checklists set up that I can add as necessary, all forms that pertain to their account are added, all notes as I speak to them, and this takes seconds. It has made my life worry-free because I don't miss a thing since it is all on one screen. I also have a project set up for my other businesses, my reading agenda, thank yous to send out, and anything I want to keep top of mind. I can add things from my Meister mind mapping when I need it too. I have shown so many how to use this simple and responsive application because I think it is the answer to so many problems and worries. DEFINITELY try this and see if you don't feel the same way about it.
    Checklists can be set up and then added as necessary Notes added so easily Your whole agenda can be on one screen so nothing is left to chance. Add any attachments. Use for everything in your life that you would like to track. Great for tracking and keeping things top of mind Use with other programs. I use with Meister Mind Mapping. Mindmeister Due dates can be added.

    I switched to MeisterTask when my team was to make a (IMHO) bad decision about which solution to use for task, time and project management, hence I'm using it alone (I hope that's going to change) and transfer data from it to the one the team chose. In that one I had difficulties prioritizing my own tasks, breaking them down in smaller chunks, tracking time spent on each one, and the files that were task or project related... They were scattered widely in emails and on different machines of the team. There's another problem that it could address if we were using it as team: communication, focused on project and task. While it has email integration and mobile access, none of those are used by the team in the other solution either. Though I imagine email notifications could operate as an alarm function for due dates.
    Kanban-like approach. The lists, cards and checklists are great when it comes to micro-management of tasks and their details. Time tracking. This one is a must and it is done well. Task relations. It's good to be able to put some connections between the tasks, regardless of the nature of the relation (simply being related, marking blocks or duplicates). Comments and attachments are the base of task-focused communication between team members. Alas, no benefit from that for me right now. I'm only making notes to myself. Calendar integration. Due date should be visible on a calendar. And they are. Pro version enables workflow management by adding actions to lists. Nothing too complicated. But in turn, that makes it efficient. Using together with MindMeister (a bit limited) project-wide overview is possible. Support. Its quick to respond and it does a terrific job at answering questions, regarding both speed and detail.

    I am using Meistertask in my agency for planning and strategy and this tool happens to be perfect for that task. Too many plans can be a big problem when you don't have the budget and manpower to make all those plans a reality. And for me Meistertask gives me a platform to sort all this out and come up with detailed, doable strategies. I know it is meant as a project management software, but it can be perfectly customized for strategic planning. Thanks to the vendor for this great tool and not to forget the aesthetic background images I really love :-) :-).
    Easy overview of projects Aesthetic platform Easy to customize Easy to view

    Meister Task was used by our whole organisation as a project management app. We needed a software to keep everyone accountable to their tasks, follow up on deadlines etc.
    There are project management tools that are more advanced. However, for a free tool it is great

    Used as a simple one off task tracker for small projects with usually one person assigned to it. It covers all the basics - time tracking per task, assigning with deadlines, file uploads, commenting, and custom statuses. It has a good mobile app and is very easy to pick up and get things set up and running quickly.
    Hard to set up a portfolio of projects Limited set of project views May not dive deep enough for some users or workflows

    I am a freelancer and work mainly on my own. I [started using] Meister Task after I used the mind mapping app Meister also makes. The HUGE value for me is being able to empty my head into a mind map, play around with ideas and then group them into tasks and then send them to a time-dependent tool like MindMeister.
    It only "talks to" to Slack and MS 365 - Of course there is a Zapier connector - but I'd like to be able to easily move tasks out of here to other programs like trello that I use with other teams. A full view calendar would be very welcome!

    My overall experience has been great. You guys have been beautiful. I have used you and been with you guys for a very long time. It feels just like yesterday. The least that I can do is take a little moment out of my time to give you guys a good word and a good reviews. If you are looking for a mind-dump ... that is what the heart of Kanban tools are for. Meister-Task is for you. It goes into the intermediate level of task dependencies. If you are looking for the next level of a network relationship diagram ... just hang on a moment. There is MindMeister ... but last time I checked, you have to work from MindMeister into MeisterTask - but I dont think they can inter-relate and synchronise with themselves. I don't know, things may have changed from my time. But this app is beautiful, sleek and amazing. Please support them and take good advantage of their services. They're amazing. And one last thing, they integrate in many places so beautifully such as Microsoft Teams. I'm blessed

    I was really bad at managing my own time and tasks. I'm a small business owner AND a subcontractor not only for several companies directly, but also am available for hire as an IT consultant, so I have TONS of ways that tasks can come at me, and from many different people. I needed a way to organize this all, in one place, plus makes notes and attach files to tasks, and make things "more" than just a list. I played with several different platforms out there, but MeisterTask's layout, multiple application platforms and abilities spoke to me the loudest. At this point I am on-point AND on-task, and no longer forget to do things. In-fact, I often get compliments on how attentive I am to client needs! This is all thanks to MeisterTask.

    I don't often say I love a software, but I love MeisterTask. As I passed over some important tasks to another person, I found she was not as organized as I was, and it was costing us a lot of lost revenue as she failed to follow up on time-sensitive claim rejections and other issues. Furthermore, due to the way our main systems work, I had a hard time keeping my own eyes on the issues before it was too late. By implementing MeisterTask, we both have insight into the issues that have come back from insurances, I'm able to better hold her accountable, and tasks are getting done. I love the Kanban board, having the ability to personalize it, write notes, have overarching tasks with subtasks, and more.

    I use Meistertask for personal uses. To be honest it is a great over all life tool not just for work. If my work place had Meistertask, I would use it often to track projects, tasks, and milestones. But since I use the free version in my personal life, it is such a good tool to manage personal habits and ensure I can get things done when I plan to and how often. I check my inconsistencies and work on them the following month. Make quick notes and add personal comments to each task, which I use as tracking specific categories. Then each subtask within a major task I use as a checkoff list. So far, it has been so useful. I share items with my husband and it's easy for him to pick up and learn.

    MeisterTask has been the appropriate platform to generate new activities and assign new tasks for the various sectors of our company; Thanks to this platform I have been able to assign more than 10 activities for our sales sector as well as for other sectors of our real estate company. MeisterTask managed to have a system where we can see the progress of each activity, we can modify the number of members for each activity, employees can exchange activities and also communicate from MeisterTask. This platform has been perfect, I loved this platform because it helped me create new activities and assign them online.

    Overall the functionality that this tool offers even at the basic level is really amazing. I highly recommend it for personal work-flow management as well as for tracking shared projects. It's not ideal for highly complex and broad projects where you need to organize based on timeline and be able to quickly scroll through hundreds of tasks-If that is your need, I'd look for a more robust PM software. But personally, at this point I'm thinking it's almost the perfect tool for implementing the Getting Things Done methodology and managing personal and work life flow.
