Pain points
Missing issue count metric on mobile views
"For a product as great as Linear, I can’t believe the mobile app does not display a COUNT of the issues on each view. This simple metric is used by individuals to mentally keep track of their daily progress. Please add this!"
Inability to edit projects or initiatives on mobile
"It’s really frustrating to not be able to edit Project or Initiative descriptions. Also the back button being in the bottom left is an Android paradigm that fails my muscle memory on iOS. Beautiful app and great product though."
Lack of comprehensive search and tag filtering
"I wish the app would use a normal iOS 26 tab bar. I find this customization button to be weird and it doesn’t actually work as expected (tapping on Initiatives crashed the app, then tried again and it presented an empty page)."
No offline support and data loss during poor connectivity
"Editing issues should be as reliable and fault tolerant as Apple Notes. There’s no offline support at all, unlike the desktop app. If you’re using Linear Mobile to organize your work during a commute, prepare for a frustrating and painful experience."
Missing drag‑and‑drop task reordering
"Well‑built app, but it’s been a year since the initial release and it still doesn’t have drag & drop to rearrange tasks… The task editor experience is great, but without drag & drop, I still live in the PWA."
Search functionality is broken or unreliable
"They need to please fix search. Its so impossible to find any issue by search. Not just me, our whole team has mentioned this."
Limited feature parity with web/PWA
"Why aren’t all of the features available on the iOS app? I should be able to do everything on the app as well, otherwise, it’s useless."
Bugs
App crashes or freezes on sign‑in and issue opening
"Used to work but after one of the updates the app gets stuck at the sign in screen. Even reinstall did not help."
Text editor bugs causing inability to scroll or edit long descriptions
"The text editor for the description does not work properly. Once you get a certain amount of text the user is unable to react text further down the page."
Tab bar laggy and glitchy after redesign
"The new tab bar is laggy, glitchy, and feels incongruous with iOS 26 design, in spite of the failed attempt to mimic it."
Login failures and account not found errors
"No account exists for this email address. When I click on Visit Website web version is working fine but the app still gives an error Account not found."
Webview wrapper forces re‑login each session
"This app is just the webview opened in a native app wrapper. To make it worse, you have to relogin every time."
Praises
Fast, responsive UI that boosts productivity
"I’m a small solo creator… This app has been very fast and responsive with putting clarity and direction with my workflow."
Excellent core issue and comment tracking features
"I love how easy it is to create an issue and assign values to it. Love the comments and the tracking info."
Great for remote work and on‑the‑go task management
"Work from home? I can get work done on my phone now! It’s awesome."
Highly regarded as best issue tracker for developers
"Linear is by far the most intuitive and pleasing interface to work with. Hands down the most intuitive and pleasing interface to work with."
Clean design and minimalistic experience
"Everything you need, nothing you don’t. It’s so good though, I want them to build more."
Positive impact on team collaboration and workflows
"I feel like I’ve finally found the project management tool for real teams. Everything about Linear has been considered for the developer and management."
Smooth onboarding for new teams
"First time supporting a team of software engineers. Love opinionated software. Way better than Jira."
