Review Trello?
Reviewers largely praise Trello for being simple, visual, and quick to learn, with boards, cards, drag-and-drop planning, and useful basics like checklists, due dates, templates, automation, and integrations helping individuals and small teams stay organized. Many use it for project tracking, weekly priorities, brainstorming, and cross-team visibility. Founders of Fundraisly and Casero say it kept early product work clear without setup overhead. The main caveat: users often find it limited for larger, more complex workflows, and some mention pricing, slowness, sync issues, or occasional glitches.

Been using it for years and it stays my go to project management tool. As a company you can do a tremendous amount for free which is really awesome and they keep adding new features to make the communication easier and easier. The search bar is the best ever to find back any card over any board.

I'm a big fan. Especially because I'm either a loner or work with small teams. There seems to be some collision for planning and reporting for larger teams. But I love the visual aspects of this product, and I love how it doesn't try to do too much. It's its own side of the street.
Trello's visual project management helped me organize the development roadmap and track feature implementation. What I love most is its flexibility in creating custom workflows that perfectly match the development process, from idea capture through implementation and testing
Trello is a great app if you are getting started with managing your work. I use it for managing my weekly tasks and also used it to write down ideas for content I wanted to produce. The prebuilt templates save a lot of time. The mobile version is easy to use and always at hand.
We have been using Trello for some time now and it has helped us a lot transitioning to scrum. We programmers love how features were designed to make our life easier (checklists on cards, visual feedback, ability to interpret a nice subset of markdown features, automation…).
If you love the Kanban board method of work you'll love Trello. I've been using this app since their early days and still treasure its ease-of-use and the great interface design. And the add-ons are just great! It's helped me stay productive even in my darkest hours.
I use Trello to manage projects and keep my team updated on progress. The visual boards make it easy to track tasks and deadlines. It’s simple and effective, though it can feel a bit limited for complex workflows. Still, it’s a great tool for staying organized.

I love how easy Trello makes it to organize my tasks. It's nice to be able to add a due date and checklist to the card as well. I'm also a big fan of the repeater cards- it's nice that it will remind me each time I have to do that task.
Trello is a great open-source app for someone like me. I am able to stay up-to-date on my daily tasks and manage small-medium teams using the various layouts and templates provided in the interface. Highly recommend this platform!
A fantastic alternative to Jira and other task management software. Trello's easy-to-use, intuitive interface makes working a pleasure. The Kanban boards are an effective and visual way to collaborate seamlessly.
