New Podio Interface

    PLUS 1+ Here. I have been a Podio user for well over year. I have over many outside clients integrated into our workflow. The new update has crippled my usage. You can't tab through fields to fill in data, the overlay is slow and cumbersome making quick update a pain. I have actually just had a meeting with Mavenlink because I am on there verge of needing something that works smoothly, like the old Podio. I can't imagine Francois and myself are the only ones pulling out our hair (oh wait, we don't have any).

    I hope there is a solution soon, as we are believers and advocates for Podio.
    Best Regards,
    Casey

    Yes it is. Takes years to load. The previous version was faster....
    I'm sure the team at podio is taking a look at this BUT here's a work around to avoid the overlay while they don't get this fixed: All you do is switch the layout to "badge" or "Activity". Not as table. This way you can right click the item and open in a new tab. This is faster to me. Hope it helps.

    Thanks Paulo, that's also what I've been doing since I'm so used to be able to right-click and open in a new tab, this is a HUGE thing missing for me when in table view.

    When you clink on "add new item" many times the overlay will not load. It loads... but takes too long.

    The work around is the same. Right Click the "add new item" green button and open it on a new tab. This will work.

    I've found Podio runs very slow and the entire interface is bloated and clunky - navigating isn't straight forward and every action requires far to many clicks. I'm currently assessing Podio to use in our organisation so I don't know what it used to be like. I want to like it, but its just not working for me so far! Unless the Podio team improve the interface and its usability i'm afraid i'll have to look elsewhere!

    Great concept, poor execution.

    Hi James, it used to have a very good interface. I understand they wanted to improve it, but just little things on the old one would have make it so more powerful. It used to be (and probably still is) by far the most adaptive and collaborative tool an organisation could have. Let's say that before I was not concerned about the interface everytime I used it...
