The product is beautiful, responsive, easy to use and it has A TON of great features. Also the support team is super friendly and I have always gotten responses within a few minutes.

Lead Web Designer

No online version - For me this is badly needed, when i find myself working on a long haul flight or where there is no internet.

The Spiritual Love Healer

It allows me to sync tasks to my calendar. There are lots of different settings and features that I can turn on like time tracking and creating milestones that are super helpful.

The UI is really nice and not as daunting like JIRA or Phacility or the like. I am really looking forward to the integrations especially to JIRA.

Brand Architect

The milestone settings are a bit confusing, Focus mode is a bit useless, and the features are not all implemented.

Executive Assistant

We weren't communicating well, we were struggling with 8 people on a cumbersome worksheet, missed deadlines, projects not turning out as well as we'd hoped.

This is hands down the best project management software i own. It is intuitive, and there are alot of pro features to help organise your projects and keep things moving along nicely.

Digital Account Manager

The ability to add and remove any modules you need for a project is great so that it's not feature bloated for something simple.

It has plenty of features and continuous updates to keep it stable, making it suitable for a number of applications.

Creative Director

Ora is an outstanding Project Management product.

Owner

I got it on a lifetime deal from appsumo and it works great for what I need.

Digital Campaign Manager

Ora has an eye-catching interface, simple to interpret layout and an excellent overview of tasks that  require my attention. Also integration with existing systems (Slack, etc.) is very handy.

Marketing Manager

There's a lot to it and the more I explore the more I find that it can do. Customer service is exceptional, thank you.

The UI is really nice, several reports are available and you can track the time spent on each card.

I've been a user of Ora since 2018 and have tried nearly every project management tool on the market. Ora's pricing, feature set and customization is the best, bar none.

Founder & Lead Android Developer

Intuitive Trello on steroids - powerful as Jira simple to use as Trello.

Flawless, intuitive and the best value for money in the market. I've used to work with Jira and Trello in the past but our team was totally reborned after switching to Ora.

On the whole project the time sometimes looks wrong but if I go into the time tracker it is right. It takes them forever to bring out updates and new features from the time they put it on their radar.

Ora has definitely boosted our productivity: being able to "portray" all our ideas and organize them in beautiful cards is amazing. Everybody in the company knows what to do just by looking at their assigned tasks, cards, or checklist. The cards can be easily moved from "doing" to "done" in brief. 

Ora has boosted our productivity!

Once I started using Ora I couldn't stop using it. I have been finding ways to organize all my projects in Ora

Fell in love with UI

These are the kinds of project management techniques that enabled me to generate revenue for my clients and myself.

“Finally, they're expressed in a systematic, easy-to-understand, easy-to-use way.

The Swiss Army Knife Of Project Management

Exactly what I needed

Experience has been great overall. Despite the fact the company I work for did not adopt it, I still use it for my own personal use for task tracking.

Ora is great App overall

Awesome UI - Lots of Features for Free Version

Finally something that is easy

The best project management, collaboration, and communication app!

My honest review

Long Time User!

Or a largely serves as our procedure manual and project management 

Veey pleased

One of my friends strongly recommend me to use Ora for project management. 
It works well as a team working on one project. 
However, it doesn't work well with my personal project. 
While I'm planning my project, it helps me mentally organizing my tasks, but in real life, I use rarely to track the progress of my work. I use mostly ical to plan my task. So if the app link to ical, it'll be prefect. 

Good tracking tools

Goof for me

I have used Ora for very specific projects, but the team involved found it not so intuitive at the beginning and it has been hard to get keep them logging on to the platform. I used other platforms for different projects with more complex requirements. However, teams looking to manage simple projects could totally take advantage of Ora

A nice project management platform with an entire communication hub inside.

Ora is an outstanding Project Management product. Far from being a multi-tool solution, it focuses on a small set of futures and performs extremely well. Its snappy and minimal interface stays out of the way letting teams get work done. There’s even a desktop app for Mac, Windows and Linux. I highly recommend giving it a try.

A project manager that does what you need and does it well

Flawless, intuitive and the best value for money in the market. I've used to work with Jira and Trello in the past but our team was totally reborned after switching to Ora! 

Intuitive Trello on steroids - powerful as Jira simple to use as Trello

Great for task management!

Organization and time tracking is the main function of Ora.
Jobs and tasks can be organized in Kanban cards for teams, is perfect! The basic functionality already worth the tool, but there are much more, like checklists, milestones, etc.

We use Ora to keep tracking on what we work on. We charge clients based on it, so its very important

Over the past 5 years I have tried around 7 different project management tools. Both for me and for the team. But none did really work of us. Sometimes where difficult to use open source solutions, other times they were expensive for the value that they gave us, and only with trello and asana had good results. but they end up forgotten. I think this time the time tracking and the beautiful design has helped. 

The first Project Management Tool that I do really use (and enjoy using)

A pleasant experience. Setting up different team members was a breeze and required minimal workarounds.

Ora - Project & task management made simple!

Cofounder

I Love Ora

Jonathan T.:                                           I'm Jonathan, I'm the owner of a small web and graphic design firm, and I give Ora, five out of five. When I was trying to make the decision on a task and project management software that I wanted to use... I've had a lot of experience over a number of years, lots of different things, Trello, and Asana, and Basecamp, all sorts of different things. And I came across Ora, I gave it a try, and that's what I went with in the end.
                                                       I ended up going with Ora for a number of reasons. First, I came across it when it was a lifetime deal, so that was of course appealing to me. But if it was a piece of junk, I wasn't going to keep it. As I started to use it more I started to love more and more of the features. I had been in the past using softwares where I have to choose between cards and the Kanban-style of managing my tasks, or a list, or a calendar, or [inaudible 00:00:59], whatever it is. And Ora, gives me the ability to switch between all of those things.
                                                       So, if I'm in the mood to be looking at, if it just works better for those tasks to do a list, I can see a list. If I want to do cards, I can see cards. I can even do multiple views within a project. So right now, I'm working with somebody to develop their website, and membership site. So, I've got the tasks for their site in a set number of [inaudible 00:01:24], to do, working on, ready for review, done. I have a set for that for their site. I have a set for tutorial videos I'm making. And I have another view in that same project looking like that, with those columns, for my admin work to emails or video chats with them or whatever it is.
                                                       So, it's just a great way of organizing the tasks that I have. It's customizable, there's actions. I'm a big fan of all the automatic actions that can happen if I drag a particular card into a certain column, I can make it so any card that goes in that column automatically starts the time tracker or assigns it to somebody, or does all sorts of different things. I've used Ora to organize the work that I do, but then also streamline it and make it easy to do.
                                                       The onboarding process with Ora has been, I think, interesting is the word, maybe. I find it very easy to use, it clicks with the way my mind works. I have another business that I run with a little bit of a large team, still pretty small. We tried Ora there, it just didn't work well with just the way some of those team members thought about tasks, or I think we just maybe got a little drowned in the number of different features and ways you can work about with things. And so, we just petered out and we've now moved on to something else with that business.
                                                       I use Ora, personally, my design business is right now a one person show. And so, it works for me, I use it. There is a functionality where I can invite my clients to come in and view their project, their boards or whatever. And I've done that with some of my clients. Some of them just don't want that [inaudible 00:03:08], they don't need to see it. I've done it with others and that's gone well, they can get in as an observer, they can comment on different tasks, approve things.
                                                       So, again, I'm not bouncing around with emails and there's some communication here, some there with those clients that I'm able to onboard, and that's pretty smooth. Send them a link, they sign up, I think, and then they can comment and all that. So now I've got my comments there right on the project that I'm working on, and they can view my uploads and all that right there.
                                                       So if you're considering Ora, I'd say, give it a shot, look into it. One thing I think you should know is that it is still relatively new on the block, and it's not going to have this gigantic dev team and budget. That's something bigger and more established and more name brand like Asana, or Trello or something like that is going to have.
                                                       So, some of the updates while they certainly are constant, might not be as fast to come out, but you do get, I think a little bit more of a personal touch because you can interact a little bit more directly with the people making it. They're still relatively small, but certainly around and making great progress and making a great product. I'm not worried that they're just going like disappear in a week, but because they haven't been around for 10 years, they're still getting some of the features rolled up or online.
                                                       And so, just make sure, do a trial or sign up for a month or two and just make sure it's going to do what you want it to do. It works great for me. Only testing it out is going to give you that opportunity to test it and see if it works for you.
                                                       (silence).
