About this app

Freshservice is a refreshingly easy-to-use, simple-to-configure, ITIL based IT service desk management solution in the cloud. The productivity centric Freshservice mobile app has been designed keeping in mind an IT agent’s flexibility to stay connected, ‘on the go’. With an industry first module named ‘To-Dos’ it enables the agent to prioritize their day and see all the work stream in a single window. Additionally other core ITIL modules such as incident management, change management, service catalog, asset management, user management and others are all available within the app.

Ratings and reviews

I use this daily and primary over logging in to the desktop. It works but is clunky and missing features. Notifications are awful. Does not sync with read notification in the desktop app. So yes, duplicate notifications on your desktop and then in the app all day long. Projects module is not in the app? Why? Makes module useless. Filtering of tickets is bare minimum. Have to scroll to the very bottom of the list to see active ticket count. Good start but needs more work.

Needs a lot of usability fixes, haven't seen a lot of bugs yet though so that's good. NEED the saved ticket and tasks views to sync from the website, the fact it doesn't is nuts. the default selection doesn't even make sense let alone should be the only ones pinned at the top. the fact the bottom bar isn't customizable is nuts, there are many workflows and I don't use changes or assets but I do use tasks and tickets all the time so those should be available at all times not stuck in a menu!

Would be a 5 but... When entering time, ":30” starts a timer at zero while "0:30" submits 30 minutes. The ticket search isn't sorted by date. It's sorted by "relevancy" (random).
