Quick verdict
If your team runs on Asana, the mobile app is worth installing for keeping up with tasks and comments on the go. For deep planning you will still want the web version.
Best for Teams already using Asana who want to check, update and discuss their tasks from their phone

Asana review
Asana is a work management tool for teams that need to track who is doing what and by when. You set up projects, split them into tasks with an owner and a due date, and view them as a list, a kanban board or a calendar. The mobile app is built for people who already use Asana at work and want to keep up away from their desk.
Day to day, most people live in My Tasks, a single to-do list of everything assigned to them that you can sort, drag into sections and reorder. Comments, likes and file attachments sit on each task, and updates on things you follow arrive in the Inbox, so checking in from your phone is quick. Heavier planning, such as Portfolios and the Gantt-style timeline view, is mainly a web feature.
Why we picked it: It is a widely used, actively updated team planner, and the phone app handles the daily routine of checking, updating and discussing tasks well.
Watch out for: The mobile app is a companion to the web version, many advanced features need a paid plan, and Android reviews are noticeably weaker than iOS ones.
What we like
- Clear personal to-do list in My Tasks that pulls in all your assigned work
- List, board and calendar views for the same project
- Comments and attachments live right on each task
- Inbox updates make it easy to follow projects from your phone
- Frequent updates on both iOS and Android
What could be better
- Portfolios, timeline and other planning tools work best on the web
- Advanced features sit behind paid team plans
- Android ratings trail iOS by a wide margin
- Can feel like more structure than a solo user needs
