Productivity & Task Management Mobile App

App Comments

I love this app and it has greatly improved my daily productivity, but there are a few frustrating things I’d like to see changed. Unable to access archive items and my subscription from the app.

[In the Salesforce app] When scrolling a record, it will often get stuck and not allow that scroll to continue. It seems to be scrolling from memory, but the content of the screen is pure text.

Overall the app is fairly easy to use. I do find I will randomly get logged out but my biggest complaint has to be syncing my DayForce calendar with my Apple calendar.
User Survey
