Best Task Manager in my opinion
Wish more products were as robust as this. Did not have to contact support at all.
Pros
I like the colors. I like the collapse function. I like the use, tags, multiple projects, agenda function, loose tasks, kanban format, attachments, links, categories, scheduling, integration into other apps.
Cons
Based on my use case, I dont see any issues with it. Always works like a expect it to.

Set Your Projects up for Success with Task Management
I love the kanban board view within MeisterTask and used the tool for project tracking with my team for a year. We ultimately found other tools with more flexibility at lower costs.
Pros
Easy to set up project boards and add multiple team members for tasks.
Cons
The cost per user is higher than comparative tools.
Reasons for Switching to MeisterTask
Our team preferred Meistertask layout and utility to asana and found the onboarding much easier than Salesforce.

Great for small, hourly based businesses.
I was sorry to let the product go, but it wasn't useful for us anymore.
It was so easy to use and move around the different tasks it would keep track of. It was just an expense we no longer needed to pay our employees.
If you have a small business and need timecards, this is the program for you.
Pros
I liked that I could keep track of the hours spent on a project, even though they were charged by flat rates. It helped adjust those flat rates based on the author's work. It was also very helpful for filing taxes for deductions. As the EIC, I was able to see where my editors and proofers were in the process instead of bothering them with emails.
Cons
When we first started using the program, the options we needed were free, and as a start-up, that was amazing. As time went on, the company removed more and more of those options to a cost tier. Since we focused on flat rates, and it was incredible to be able to use those options, it was no longer an option now that I have to cover so many other payment/payroll fees.
Response from Meister
Thank you for sharing your review. We are glad that you enjoyed using MeisterTask and that it was useful for you. Maybe you will be able to use it again in the future.

Using MeisterTask
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.
Pros
MeisterTask is a very powerful tool, and also one that is pretty easy to use once you start working with it. It makes managing projects and tasks very easy, and having team members all connect on various projects makes the entire management process a very effective one.
Cons
There weren't many cons at all with it. At first the interface can look a little intimidating, but once you get started, you'll soon realise that it's pretty straight forward to use.

MeisterTask: Wish it gets better
Project managementTask management
Pros
Ease of use ..Fast Deployment Multi-platform support.
Cons
- Timeline: Horrible!- Colors and UI theme: outdated.- Reporting is very limited !! Should be highly customization -> Benfecial for reviews and team meetings .. as for customer-facing meetings and status updates.- The mobile view could be better. How do you mark it a success? If a user can use the mobile version independently - with no desktop or web - then this is a success.- Consolidated project view: missing. The agenda view is useless.- Drag and drop tasks among projects- Multi-task selection is not smooth- Time reminders are not fluid or practical enough- Automation needs many and many improvements --> Need to link a header with dates. Then if a task is created in this kanban, it immediately inherits this date .. Mapping a kanban to a calendar day (Sunday, Monday, .. etc) is gonna be very useful. We need to talk to explain this to you guys ..

A great tool for a long time on the market.
The appearance and style of the tool is great and UX is slicker than Trello, the tool i used prior. The kanban boards look great and easy to share.
Pros
The design of the tool felt better and more grown up than Trello and was easier to use.

The pricing changed a lot since I implemented it and it became too expensive.

The most productive task / project planner
I’ve been using MeisterTask for a number of years now and it is my go to piece of software for managing all of my projects in one location. I can keep track of things on my iPhone and iPad as well as on my desktop.
Pros
My hands-down, favorite part of this entire app is all of the automation tools. It gives you to help streamline your process and illuminate repetitive tasks.
Cons
A better way to manage all of my tasks from multiple projects on a single dashboard. The agenda option that they give us and the pinning are a good start, but I’d like a little more flexibility and automation built into the agenda dashboard.
Reasons for Choosing MeisterTask
Initially, it was to have a Kanban on board but now it’s to stay because of all the automationSwitched From

New User trying to create an Agile Product Portfolio
The Sales team have been very helpful in the initial stages, we have asked for involvement in the product development, but to date have not been invited to comment on our needs or issues.
Pros
The initial ease of use in creating the projects, tasks and the alignment and linking to Microsoft tooling
Cons
Lack of reporting and a true rolled-up Gannt chart that would and could be used to visually show project progress

The secret productivity tool more people need to know about!
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.
Pros
As a copywriter, I'm constantly juggling multiple projects for multiple clients. MeisterTask makes it easy to see where I am in the process and each task card easily holds all the links, files, etc. that I need to complete the project. No more constant back-and-forth between Google Drive, email, etc. I'm saving SO much time seeing everything in one place!
Cons
Resetting reoccuring tasks at the start of each week seems a little cumbersome, but maybe I haven't quite figured that out yet.

MeisterTask helps teams manage tasks and collaborate
MeisterTask is an excellent method of task management and general organization. It's a terrific tool for teamwork because it's simple to learn and implement. The only drawback is that the free plan doesn't offer many many features, and the mobile app isn't very advanced either.
Pros
MeisterTask is an outstanding application for managing one's time and ensuring one's productivity. The layout is simple to understand and fun to interact with. To help users stay on top of their work, their teams, and their projects, it is equipped with robust capabilities.
Cons
MeisterTask's limited functionality and lack of customization possibilities in the base subscription is a drawback. The mobile app also misses some of the more advanced capabilities seen on the website.

Prettier and More Functional Than Trello
Pros
I love the ease of use of MeisterTask. And because I'm a very visual project manager, I find the ability to add images, backgrounds, tags and labels in a more intuitive way than other project management tools.
Cons
Would be great to also have table/list views, but I believe that's coming.

An unexpected bonus in addition to task and project management.
Overall I am pleased because it helps with projects and unexpectedly with helpdesk requests.
Pros
I got this to help manage multitasking. My school has grown from an oversized homeschool to a small/medium sized school of more than 400 staff and students. MeisterTask has helped my team stay on top of things.
Cons
I am using Meistertask, but probably nowhere near its potential. So I can't really point to anything yet.

This task management tool is truly exceptional.
Managing our fitness projects involves dealing with a large number of tickets at any given moment. That's why I rely on MeisterTask to keep track of our progress. Without this software, it would be incredibly challenging to ensure our success.
Pros
MeisterTask interface is an incredibly smooth and satisfying experience. It's easy to assign tasks to team members, and the effective task management tools make even the most complex projects feel manageable. With MeisterTask, managing complex projects has never been easier. The interface is fluid and fulfilling, and assigning tasks to team members is a breeze, allowing for effective task management throughout the entire project.
Cons
If I'm being honest, the notification feature isn't very effective.

MeisterTask Keeps our non-profit task management on track
We use it extensively every day to manage as many as 60 tasks across 3 projects. I can't imagine doing what we do without it.
Pros
I am more thankful every day that we implemented MeisterTask into our non profit's suite of tools. I don't know how we would be managing our current workload without it!
Cons
Archived tasks need to be searchable and text selectable on the mobile app. The capability exists with the desktop web app but needs to be applied to the mobile app.Over 50 tasks can not be listed on the mobile app without resorting .. this is problematic.

An Effective Project Management Tool
A good experience, because of the ease of use. I missed a few features, but they are only available in the paid version like more project number and more upload space.
Pros
The interface is easy to use and navigate, making the task of managing projects simpler. It can be integrated with other tools, offers real-time collaboration features, offers good prices, even for large teams.
Cons
The tool is limited with some features, where competitors offer free. You need to watch tutorials and need time to master everything in this software. The integration with other software is pretty average.
Response from Meister
Thank you for sharing your review. It's good to know that you found the experience to be positive overall, despite missing some features that are only available in the paid version. We will take your feedback in consideration for future updates.

Very simple way to assign new activities to employees.
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.
Pros
The easy way in which we have been able to manage all the activities thanks to MeisterTask has left us truly impressed. I liked MeisterTask because it allowed me to know the status of all the activities in real-time, it provided me with a board view and a column type view, and it both views I felt comfortable, I was able to view the tasks in progress, shceduled tasks and the completed tasks, thanks to the main panel, I was able to know the status of each activity in real-time. In addition, MeisterTask allowed me to use a collaborative service, where employees could meet, communicate, share worko material and complete a task as a team. In addition, MeisterTask allowed us to sed time limits for each task, send us alerts when a task had not been completed, assign tasks for specific dates and much more, it is a very complete platform.
Cons
The problem that I found in MeisterTask is that there is no function that allows making backup copies for all the information that is handled in this platform, this means that if an employee has deleted an activity note by mistake, we will not be able to recover it, in addition, if due to a system error, what the employees have spoken when working as a team is deleted, this information cannot be recovered. The general MeisterTask system works very well, but they need to implement a function to retrieve or save relevant information.

MeisterTask is Essential
Now that I have MeisterTask in my life, keeping up with my tasks and projects is a breeze! I absolutely love my new BFF!
Pros
I've tried a lot of task and project management tools over the lifetime of my business. None compare to MeisterTask in terms of ease of use and value for money. Not to mention it's by far the prettiest and most colorful of all the tools I've used in the past. It actually makes it a pleasure to jump in there to work every single day.
Cons
So far I haven't found any issues with this software app. It's so very easy to use.
