Kanbana: Organize Anything 4+

I LOVE this tool! I tried out several alternatives but none had nearly as nice of a layout or were error prone. This application is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and, most importantly, functional.

My only complaint would be the payment options. I don’t mind paying for the usage of the app because it provides so many benefits but I don’t think I should be forced to pay monthly or yearly installments for some of the premium features. It would be nice if the developer could introduce a small lump amount to purchase a professional license with fewer benefits than premium.

The main ability I want is to be able to manage separate task boards. I don’t need the other premium features so it is annoying to pay a monthly fee for things I don’t need.

I’m a project engineer who uses this app daily. It’s simple, sleek and works well. TBH maybe my favorite part of this app is that it DOESNT suffer from feature creep/bloat. I tried other popular kanban apps and that was one of the main reasons why I switched and stayed on Kanbana.

Pros:
-Sleek design. Easy on the eyes. Love the font and background.
-Easy to use/start using. Very intuitive.
-Easy to move tasks and columns around. Can move tasks to other Kanbans
-Autosaves after editing tasks. (Although this is standard I think for most kanban apps.)
-Different colors for tasks! While this is a simple addition, some of the other apps I tried didn’t have this, was difficult to change on the fly due to bloat, etc.
-Multiple device sync with premium!
-Multiple kanbans with premium

Neutrals:
-Rarely, there are graphical glitches during editing tasks. It always reverts to normal after you finish editing them.
-Can’t change background. I like the background so nbd.

Cons:
-None to mention.

Additional Features I’d like added
-While simple is better and the reason I use this app, I would like more colors. (If GUI space is an issue, colors could scroll horizontal with a swipe when editing tasks.)
-Maybe text formatting (tables, bullets etc.)? But then you begin to crowd up the interface...

But yeah love the app! Fits my purpose perfectly

I have using Kanbana free for about a month now to keep track of my personal busy life. After a life changing brain injury 12 years ago, I went from Software Project Manager to Volunteer in 3 different organizations, as well as publishing 6 books, and being a brain injury support group leader and advocate.

I have to manage all this all around my own symptoms which limits my activity to a few hours per day.

Obviously, before Kanbana, i blamed the natural state of chaos on my brain injury.

HOW TO USE KANBANA MOST EFFECTIVELY (my way, obviously)
1. Limit your colors to: Not Started, In process, Need something, waiting Approvals, Complete. Always assign the same color for each stage.
2. The color Grey is RESERVED for sub level header
3. Create your to-do lists as normal
4, when you encounter a to-do that requires steps, color it GREY
and give it a short title
4a. At far of screen, past last column, tap and hold until a new column (stage) appears. Title it the exactly same as above.
4b. Create the box, COLOR GREY, and name it “SUBLIST”
4c. List all your steps, using your correct color scheme
5. Yes, using this concept, you easily create a sub process within a process, and more branches

I love it
