Promising, But Tedious

Sometimes I wish theyd never invented the hidden menu swipe. Now developers swap out the much-needed swipe-right-to-delete gesture for showing the menu, and thats contrary to design patterns users have come to know with iOS.

For instance, Ive spent the whole evening tediously trying to clear the scores of "sample projects" and tasks Podio were kind of to stick me with. I have to drill down into each sample page, wait for it to call home and load, show the top menu, then hit the "Trash" icon. This is really annoying, and Im deleting the app until this is fixed. When one installs task management software, they want to get started right away - not fiddle with demos!

Apart from that, the app seemed promising, except load times are slow. Maybe Ill check this out again in a year, see if its changed.
