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.

As most apps for paid, enterprise-level services seem to be, this one is fairly barebones and buggy. But at least it's available. It regularly freezes in the background and notifications appear very late unless the app is open, even after a reinstall. I'm trying Samsung's "Keep Open" feature to get around this (edit: that doesn't help) but the issue appears to be whatever method the app is using for background data, seemingly instead of FCM, which is generally faster and more reliable.

Terrible organization of components and interactions. Our previous tool was much easier to use.
