Asana 3.0 (iOS) — The brand new Asana app for iPhone

@rrhoover Asana's mission is about teams, but the product is certainly very useful as an individual as well. Many of our customers use it at work with their team and then also organize their personal life in a separate workspace. From there, it's easy to collaborate with someone (like an S.O. or roommate), but many choose not to.
If *all* you want is a personal to-do list, I still think Asana is a very nice solution, but there are many great options out there. Arguably, our collaborative-focused design will be a detriment (e.g. a bunch of comment threads all over the UI that you'll never need).
I expect that users discovering us through the app store will be more inclined to use Asana that way than users finding us on the web, but our focus as a product team will remain on teams. We think there is more of a need for a new solution there, and a bigger problem to be solved.
Pretty sure the new app will be a fully new app. ? Edit: apparently not, nevermind! Pumped about this, as an avid user.
Finally!
The old app really was quite poor, and as happy Asana customers, the whole team is thrilled to finally have this out :D
@dshan Yep - it's a brand new app! I've been beta testing it for a couple weeks and it is responsive, smooth and finally brings all the web features to mobile. Note from the asana blog: The app will be rolled out in the App Store throughout the day. If the new app is not available in the App Store, please check back later today; it takes time to update for all users.
@moskov Beautifully done app... the only thing that I can't figure out for the life of me is how to delete a task - I can only complete them? You should have it like Mailbox where swipe to the left is complete and swipe to the right is delete... am I missing something?
@rolandal coming soon :) we tried to get as much functionality as possible into the release, but needed to balance that with getting the product out the door
Hi all! I thought I'd evaluate the new app from an onboarding perspective, and condensed my thoughts here: http://www.useronboard.com/how-a... I'd love to hear what you think.
@SamuelHulick Fwiw, we explicitly did not focus on new users for this release, but that's our top priority right now.
@moskov Gotcha! I can't wait to see what it looks like when the update rolls out! The UI is already quite sexy on its own.
I f'ing love asana. So excited to see this - for so long their web product has been 10x better than the mobile version.
Even after just playing with the mobile for a few minutes, it's already noticeably faster, and I love the nav bar at the bottom of the app.
The only thing I miss is that the app no longer buzzes when you complete a task. It's one of those small things I liked about the initial app for whatever reason.
@jwmares That didn't quite make it into this release, but it's coming very soon.
@moskov great work! I was waiting for a long time for this to happen :)
You're right about using using it as a todo list, but asana is one of the finest product I've ever used.
You mention other tools for personal todo list, may I ask what you use for that?
@andrea_sdl I use Asana exclusively. Personally, I quite value the collaboration (e.g. to discuss things with my wife and personal assistant), but other people have told me that's a foreign concept in their personal lives. I think I'm just ahead of the curve. :)
@moskov Wonderful!!! It would be awesome if there were "custom views" on the mobile app to make it look more "easy" for personal tasks.
I'd love to have just one tool for everything and I really admire your work guys (also your company culture is great).
Keep going
@moskov Nice work, Dustin. Massive improvement. It got me to pay a bit more attention to Asana and dig in, trying to figure out ways that we're not using it to the full advantage here at Circa. Delighted to find out how much priority headings have improved...likely a massive improvement for our team here. Bravo.
