    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.

    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!

    I first heard about Meistertask on a podcast. I was certain I didn't need this tool. After all, I had a system that worked for me. Plus, I had tried the other tools. Asana was "okay." Airtable and Notion were confusing. Trello was clunky (i.e. ugly). Clickup had great features but felt very overwhelming when you are a solopreneuur, party of one. >> But once I tried MeisterTask, it simplified everything for me. It's visually easy to navigate and allows me to see exactly what I need to do each day. Also, the task cards hold all the links and information I need to stop wasting time jumping between files all day. In short: it simplified my workflow.

    I am very happy with MeisterTask, and it has been an invaluable tool for us when it comes to project and task management. I do use another tool in addition to MeisterTask, but not to replace it. Overall, I would be more than happy to recommend it to anyone who is looking for a powerful management tool.
