Wrike - Work As One
Can I create and assign tasks from the mobile app?
Yes, you can quickly create tasks from emails and assign them with due dates and attachments directly in the mobile app. This feature lets you reassign tasks in seconds, as one user did to prevent a bottleneck when a teammate called in sick.
What are the customizable dashboards and activity stream used for?
Customizable dashboards let you set up widgets that show only your most urgent items, like overdue and due-today tasks, to cut through the noise. The real-time activity stream sends instant notifications for comments and updates, such as a developer posting an API update with a commit link, so you don't have to chase down status reports.
Why is the app sometimes sluggish or slow to sync?
The app can feel sluggish when loading projects with hundreds of tasks, and occasional sync delays may cause a comment posted on your phone to not appear on the web for a few minutes. These issues are typically temporary, and closing and reopening the app or refreshing your connection often resolves them.
What should I do if the app feels overwhelming at first?
It's normal to feel overwhelmed by the many buttons and views on the first launch, but after a day or two of exploring, the logic clicks. Focus on the bottom navigation bar—Inbox, Dashboards, Tasks, and Stream—as these are the most intuitive sections for daily tracking and communication.
How does Wrike's mobile app compare to Trello or Asana for remote teams?
Unlike Trello's simpler card-based system or Asana's list views, Wrike offers deeper features like customizable dashboards and a real-time activity stream that are fully functional on mobile. It's better suited for teams that need a single source of truth for complex projects, though it can feel more complex to learn initially.
