"A (visually) basic tool that does exactly what you need it to do"
4/5
What do you like best about GoRetro?

The simplicity of the UI is great and designed for a non-technical user in mind. Their support is fantastic and gives a great insight into what is coming next and why, which really makes a difference for users like myself in committing to keep using it (even if it is missing a few things I can already get on similar tools elsewhere) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

Some of the UI elements are a little confusing but that will be ironed out soon enough with feedback and a good session recording tool to see how users use their tool. The overlap of having an actions column while also being able to turn cards from other columns into actions as well needs some clarity. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Useful tool to conduct in person retrospectives"

It was simple, intuitive and very easy to use. Members of the scrum team were able to add items with little to no help or instructions Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish there were an easier way to remove a card or item that was added to the board Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Used last week for my Retro meeting"
4/5

I really like the tool which really interests me in running my Retro with this as its looks very organised and simple to use and my all other colleagues found it really easy to access this Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

Few of my peers complained that they could see their inputs twice so it looks like some duplicate data is being displayed Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good and solid tool that does what it's suppose to"
4/5
What do you like best about GoRetro?

What I like about GoRetro is that it gets straight to the point. As a team, we don't need a lot of fancy features to do a retro. It's about what we as a team want to discuss. GoRetro makes this easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

The tool still looks like it was made on a weekend design-wise. I don't think it's really bad it's just very inconsistent and does not look professional. I think this could be solved quite quickly and not a big problem. These things make a difference when you pay for a product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yaakov Carno of GoRetro

Hi Isak,

Thank you for your review, we appreciate your helpful response!

Glad to hear that GoRetro's easy-to-use design has helped your team run retros easily and improve discussion.

We appreciate your feedback regarding the website design. We are constantly improving the UI and are planning to release new updates soon. Stay tuned! :)

"GoRetro is OK"
4/5
What do you like best about GoRetro?

- Preset swim lanes

- The "Action items" column Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

The column names "Bad". I'm not afraid of the word but in my experience, in a retrospective, "bad" then to be seen as bad for morale.

It should be renamed to something like: "Could have gone better" or "To improve" Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yaakov Carno of GoRetro

Thank you for taking the time to leave us this insightful feedback! 😊

Wanted to point out that if you ever want to edit the column headings from our preset templates, you can easily customize the text and colors to align with your goals. I've left a link below to the relevant instructions. Hope this helps!

Happy retrospecting 😎

"My GoRetro experiences"
5/5
What do you like best about GoRetro?

GoRetro is an easy and uncomplicated way to have retrospectives with teams whose members are spread all over the globe. Easy to set up teams and boards. We tested a few other tools as well but from my point of view GoRetro fits the best to the teams requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

Sometimes the invitation mails seem not to work proper and you have to delete and re-invite the team member. Same with the generated link but every time we tried it twice it worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yaakov Carno of GoRetro

Amazing to hear that you and your team are experiencing GoRetro's value for your project management and software development. Thanks for writing up this insightful review!

You mentioned that you sometimes struggle initially with the invitation emails and so I'm excited to update you that we've revamped this flow, improved the functionality and even added the ability to invite your team directly from your board.

Lots of exciting new updates and features coming soon - Stay tuned :)

"amazing retro tool with boring design"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoRetro?

It's easy. It's straight forward. It does what it should do without all of the strange overhead that other tools have like miro. It has all the essentials and tbh that's all that 99% of the teams really need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

For our team, retro is a fun place where we reflect and have some good talks. We look at this board 2hrs every 2 weeks. Unfortunately it looks like it was build with bootstrap in 2007. Our designers and FEs really dislike it. This seems like a small remark for an amazing tool but an amazing functionality should also "feel" good. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Yaakov Carno of GoRetro

Hey Robin,

Thank you for taking the time to write us this great review!

You are 100% correct, GoRetro was created to help teams run the most engaging and efficient retrospectives and so we make sure to focus on the essentials. Happy to hear you are enjoying it!

We appreciate your honest feedback about GoRetro's design. We're in the process of redesigning our UI and I'm sure your team is going to love it! I'll keep you posted with updates, stay tuned :)

"Go Retro is a nice simple tool for the retrospectives that is very convenien to use"
5/5
What do you like best about GoRetro?

It is flexible -

1. you can choose any approach you like,

2. you can customize them,

3.you have your action items in one place,

4. you can have multiple teams that do not see each others staff

5. You can merge cards together with similar meaning

6. You can hide cards and votes

7. You have timer

Everything is great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

what I would like to have:

1. Ability to unmerge cards as when merging them simultaneously with other teammates, the wrong ones are being merged together

2. Ability to have more than 1 action item to a card or to a group of cards

3. If you do not set the due date to action item and exports the report of the retrospective, by default, the date is 1970 , Jan 1

4. When you are voting and have voting hidden from others, you cannot see your own votes; you see only toast messages about left votes, it would be good to see your votes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"GoRetro: A simple yet powerful Retrospective tool for your teams"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoRetro?

GoRetro has the awesome feature of being free while also letting you access all of the normal Retrospective functions you would expect. Having multiple teams with multiple users and not being blasted by a paywall for any feature goes a long way for our company. It's nimble, lightweight, and works well every time. We love being able to trust this tool for every retro meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

The 'Analytics' page could use a spruce up in terms of how the information is presented and shared. I also wish there was a free way to connect to Jira, showing limited functionality, rather than the entire Jira connection being behind a paywall. Also, the 'share' links are some gibberish, it would be nice if I could have custom links. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to use, team liked it!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about GoRetro?

The ease of use is great. It's easy to invite the team without them having to sign-up/log in. The functionality of the free version is outstanding. Most likely worth the upgrade to get Sprint Summary, pending test. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about GoRetro?

Would be awesome if GoRetro expanded with point poker for backlog grooming within the current app. That's the only downside I can think of. Maybe some UI updates like fonts etc. too, but that wouldn't improve the functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
