Reviews of redbooth for gmail:
This is super buggy and needs some TLC. A.) it completely breaks when i click the "attache email thread" B.) It only shows one pane, so 2/3rds of the app basically doesn't work.
Won't let me attached email thread so not great! Was working a few months back?
This extension is harder to use than it should be: it does not auto-populate task name from email like other task apps do. Also, the mail attachment does not work anymore making it almost worthless.
Powerful, but requires too much handholding. Needs to autofill fields with information, and the user interface on the Gmail side for scheduling tasks was a bit DOS (ie: mundane). If it was more user friendly in the productivity area, I would give it 4 stars. If it also had a better GUI, I would up to 5. As it stands ... 3, and uninstalling.
used to work flawlessly. Now it won't attach the email to the task so is pretty pointless :-(
What Ross Yes said....
Adding task via Gmail is a good idea, however the implementation is buggy: When a task window pops up, none of the fields is pre-populated. It's so intuitive that the email Subject should become the Task Name and the email Body should become the Task body. The person assigned on the task should be me, or at least I should be able to choose from a list of people. I hope it's just a bug that will get fixed soon. This way I could really create a task with exactly two clicks: "Save as RB task", "Create task".
UPDATED: After feedback to dev, they have launched new version. I deleted old, installed new, now works as it should. Adjusting to 4 stars. *Would have 5 if it would attach docs when sending task. I have the same exact issue as JDThomas. With this enabled, Chrome would continually ask me to Kill the Gmail (apps) tab. I confirmed issue both by using Redbooth in Firefox (of course without the extension) and then again in Chrome with the extension disabled. Both of those scenarios significantly improved system performance, to the extent that I has decided to leave it disabled. That's too bad, as it has promise, but I won't sacrifice it to that level of performance. I don't normally give 2 stars, but honestly, if you can't use it, how does it deserve better. I love the base program, so hopefully they fix it.
A good option to add tasks from Gmail but the label/link in left pane Redbooth activity/tasks for interface is not working.
It would seem that the 21 Jan 2014 update (to Version: 0.7.9) boogered whatever handshake was taking place b/w Gmail (We're on Gooole Apps for Bidness) and Redbooth. The result is no email appearing in the Inbox on Gmail, though other folders display their contents just fine. DIsabling the extension restored expected email behavior. 3 stars because the extension _was_ super-useful and solid prior to the update. Customer Support at Redbooth is super-quick and helpful and this may be resolved very soon, in which case I'll adjust the rating.
On two different machines on two different networks this extension (only since the Redbooth change and after granting the new permissions) has made GMail sluggish to the point of tab warnings appearing in Chrome. Disable the extension and the problem is gone. Re-enable it and it comes right back. I have just disabled it instead of removing it entirely. I love the features so I hope this problem gets ironed out.
The integration w/ Gmail and Google calendar is intuitive and a huge productivity booster. I can also add tasks from any web page. Plus the Gmail integration includes all attachments when I save an email as a task. It allows me to assign tasks for up to 5 co-workers/friends(for free) and I can set reminders to keep my projects on time. AND .... It integrates with my DropBox, Box, and Drive accounts. Hello??? This is AWESOME!!!!
Really like being able to create teambox tasks from gmail. However, for me there are two huge issues: 1) 99% of the time when I create a task from gmail, something is skipped. For example I assign a person to the task, and a due date. 99% of the time the task is created, but without an assigned person. That's really bad as then it won't show up on their radar. 2) I have a HUGE high-res screen (30"), and when I click the "Create TeamBox" task, it only half fits on the screen unless the window is very large (i.e. full screen, or at least 3/4 of the screen). Good progress though, perhaps #1 is only a problem for me as I'm often creating tasks in tasklists with > 100 tasks... seems to be slow.
I'm beginning to love Teambox, my only problem with this extension is there is no way to refresh the Teambox Tasks tab other than re-loading gmail. It needs a reload button or an option for it to reload each time you access it.
Works nice. However, there is a problem -- how to unlink Gmail account from Teambox?
Hi, I want to remove Teambox from my Gmail, but it is always there. Can you please help. I do not need it right now.
Love this!
It's really awesome application made by team-box.And it's very useful to access our email's quickly.Group Chatting is also well.
A really cool extension to GMail. I havent come across something like this and so I find it really interesting. Converting mails to tasks and adding modifications to it, configuring it to suit our taste is wonderful! A must have extension for GMail :)
It awesome to have Teambox directly in gmail. But there are a few interface display problems. And the Biggest Problem is when you delete something from your spam folder your INBOX tab disappears and you have to refresh the page to get it back.
Perfect wedding ;)
Would be more awesome if I could adjust the position of the links in the sidebar.
It overrides my Inbox link on the left :(
