Adobe Workfront

Quite possibly the worst thing Adobe has produced. It’s impossible to actually use the app to work on any projects since there’s no way to make meaningful changes to tasks. Oddly enough, event things like mentioning (@) someone is confusing…. You never know when the person’s name is simply written out or if they’ve been tagged as there’s no indication with bold letters or anything. If you want to use your dashboards, forget about it. None of the helpful views you have on desktop are usable on the app. I wish there would be improvements to the app to make it useable in a meaningful way.

It’s unreal that a company responsible for developing UX and UI to make the underlying software usable could put something like this out. The interface doesn’t make any sense. How do I work on a task? How do I update the progress of a task? What am I supposed to do with this app? Am I just supposed to kind of look around at things and just kind of know they exist somewhere in the company? There is truly no indication of how I as a user am meant to utilize this app. Do I use it to message back and forth on tasks? Where is my home interface that is useful to me? Do I mark progress or check off subtasks in a way that updates the progress bar and informs others? Beyond putting labels and tabs into an app I have no clue what’s been done here to make this an actual tool. It’s simply aggregating a bunch of underlying software functions from the desktop product, and kinda calling them into an app I guess? You took a lot of ingredients, many raw, put them on a plate and slide it messily across the table and said here’s your meal. Could you take a little UX time and UI work to actually chef the ingredients into an award winning and incredibly useful experience? Perhaps and undeniably effective core interaction loop? Cmon yall. You are microsofting yourself so hard right now. Lots of people make software. Not many make useable products that pull ahead of the pack and endear users to be obsessed and love the product. Be the latter.

I never make reviews, but i had to for this app Don't even know where to start, absolutely *nothing* works right Get logged out constantly, have to log in repeatedly. Logging in a 4 step process, and doing it every time i open the app is awful Unusable interface, makes it not even worth going through. Confusing, unclear where anything is. None of the options of the web version. Some things you just cant do in any way on app Ill get a notification, open it, then the app restarts, i hve to log back in, but workfront loses whatever it was, and it disappears forever When notifications come in-app, after clicking on them, they disappear and there is no clear way to access it. If it wasn't a buggy mess, the messy interface would make it unusable. I will never forgive my job for making me use this every day. I probably would have more complaints, but having to log in 500 times, ive completely given up don't even use it anymore. 1 star is too high of a rating
