During the early stages, they have opted to sell lifetime deals to get customers but after couple of year, they complete shutdown the lifetime users and asking them to pay again. Stating that they have moved to SmartTask V2. How they can be trusted that the same thing won't happen again ?

**What problems is SmartTask solving and how is that benefiting you?**

To manage the Project and Task Across for the Agency

  ### 3. Smart Task ease of use and functionality

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Rhonda K. | Owner/President, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 06, 2025

**What do you like best about SmartTask?**

Smart Task is very intuitive and user friendly. The staff is amazing at support when I had specific questions to my business needs and complexity.

**What do you dislike about SmartTask?**

I have not found anything that I dislike about SmartTask

**What problems is SmartTask solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I have so many clients and so many projects that I need to manage and I have tried so many other tools to try to keep me organized and aware of all the tasks that need to be done. This tool has allowed me to assign tasks to my team and still have great visibility into all of work that is done and needing to be done.

  ### 4. SmartTask Holds Your Team Accountable

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Richard C. | Business Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 20, 2020

**What do you like best about SmartTask?**

I like how tasks are displayed for everyone to view. It really holds my team accountable when everyone has complete visibility to each other's tasks. Automated check-ins are great too. I can schedule a notification to hit my team members to log and update their tasks.

**What do you dislike about SmartTask?**

Not much to dislike honestly. I think this is a great product if you don't have Microsoft 365, or if you're working with a third-party that doesn't have it. But the thing you'd miss is the reporting. This is a very simple platform, but if you're trying to manage a project just with this, it isn't going to work well. It's great for tasks and getting things done.

**Recommendations to others considering SmartTask:**

If you're having a problem with people forgetting their tasks, or just plain under performing, take a look at SmartTask. It makes the life of a PM much easier. It's super easy to use, and you won't get a lot of complaints from your users. The reporting is also great for management and project sponsors. It gives everyone more of a picture where the project is at, and what needs to be completed.

**What problems is SmartTask solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed full visibility with my team on tasks. This has saved about 10 minutes from my daily standups. Instead of reporting on tasks, we all review SmartTask prior to our meeting, and then we can ask questions if we have any. It saves time, and makes everyone accountable for their work. Great tool for a project manager.

  ### 5. Smart Task - Advanced User Review

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Ahmed A. | Key Account Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** July 31, 2023

**What do you like best about SmartTask?**

- Smart Task offers great variety of common and most useful Project Management tools
- The pricing of Smart Task is very reasonable
- The Customer Support is absolutely fantastic - quick responses, friendly and professional approach, always ready to help ( I have personally had several instance where Dipali from Smart Task was very kind and super quick to answer all my queries )
- Extended features like Time & Budget Trackings as well as detailed Task Analytics

**What do you dislike about SmartTask?**

- One of the suggestions for improvement would be the connectivity. The ST connectivity is great, but sometimes (ususally couple of times per month, I would say on average 1 to 3 times per month) the servers seem down and it takes some time to be able to reconnect (it ususally does not take long however, maybe 30 mins tops)
- I would love to have the ability to delete tags, as once created they are there to stay

**What problems is SmartTask solving and how is that benefiting you?**

- Broad spectrum of Project Management and Company Management tools offering

**Reviewed by:** Ankit B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 06, 2023

**What do you like best about SmartTask?**

SmartTask is the best, most user-friendly, and easy-to-use software to manage your entire work process. A huge number of features at a pocket-friendly cost. SmartTask improved my productivity, Team management, and work management. I am very happy with the entire team of SmartTask. Especially my little friend Ishaan and Abrez from sales for understanding my requirements and delivering to me what exactly I need. Deepali for making my onboarding journey and setup process so easy as playing Super Mario.

Nothing at the moment as everything is working fine for me and I am very happy with the service and the support team.

SmartTask helps me with Time Management, Event Management, Streamline my work process, and accurate results whenever I want. reduce work pressure for my team, Missing Events and many more

  ### 7. Honest review of Smart Task. Goods and the Bads.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brayden d. | Internal Solutions Consultant., Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 12, 2022

**What do you like best about SmartTask?**

I enjoy how versatile and user-definable the software is. The capability to define when tasks need to reoccur whilst also being able to define when reminders need to be sent out is a key feature that I really love in SmartTask. Smart task excels in being able to have tasks under tasks whilst keeping each task and sub-task separate so they can all have their own respective comments and details.

Smart Task also has an incredible team behind the software. Looking aside any timezone differences, their customer service is impeccable. Often I have mentioned features that have been listened to by the support staff and then implemented the next day. This is one of their best features because even if the software lacks in a certain area, it is fixed based on user feedback incredibly well. It also makes it easier to communicate considering the SmartTask team, unlike other organizations, is always happy to instead have a conversation with you over a call rather than back and forth in a messenger. I found this to be incredibly useful as a support member of SmartTask was able to directly walk me through an issue i was having in a fraction of the time that talking through a messenger would be.

**What do you dislike about SmartTask?**

SmartTask although great software does have some downsides. The downsides of this software are though not comparable or significant enough to be worth not using this Software. 

Firstly, I dislike the fact that all reminders are sent out to users on a SmartTask-defined template. I would love the ability to have access to the fluid data that you input with each task to then create your own HTML notification template in which you can display this data in whatever way you would like to. This I find to be restricted as I would love for notifications to be able to show different data for different tasks as sometimes in my usage a one fit all does not apply.

Secondly, this is not so much an issue but more of a personal preference for my own applicability, but when creating a task that reoccurs, it does not automatically reoccur after creation. For the task to be re-created in the future based on a reoccurrence variable, it must be marked as completed first. This means that we cannot plan a year ahead and always can only be 1 step ahead. If we were to create a task 1 year in the future it then would be 2 separate tasks. I have not communicated this dislike with the SmartTask support team yet, but I feel based on their previous actions that this may be solved by the time this review is live.

The last dislike I have that has also not been communicated is inside different project views. The maximum zoom-out for viewing tasks is by month. I would love to see a yearly view so i am able to see exactly when things need to be completed in the years ahead.

**What problems is SmartTask solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We as an organization are using SmartTask to manage properties and tasks that are required to take place within those properties. We use SmartTask to keep track as well as remind us of things relating to the property and when they are due. SmartTask's versatility in doing multiple things has been great for us to manage countless different properties with varying levels of tasks required for each,

The Best thing I like about smarttask is their features where we can integrate all our vendors, sales teams, project teams all at one place. Another good part is that we can make a cross connections between different projects. Their support is great and you can grab them for a quick call to sort your issue anytime. Recently had a chat with Dipali and she sorted out the issue in no time. Love this Saas. big time saver for busy agencies.

Nothin as such but would prefer for them to add more integrations down the line. But hey, Pabbly and Zapier can do the same too when connected with Smarttask.
