Sorry I might just be missing something but is there a way to create a new board from the app? Or is it only to continue working on boards you've started already?

It's in the "Next up" section of the Trello for Android dev board [1]

We haven't added board creation yet, but it is very high up on our next up list.

Very nice and snappy interface. I hope the login screen will eventually get away from a web view (if possible), but overall loving it.

Really? Rearranging cards seems quick, but I find the list transition animation rather slow and choppy. Running this on a Gal Nex with Jelly Bean.

I worked on this app and that is the same device and OS that I used, and I am in agreement with you. I think there still might be some performance wins here to make the scrolling smoother, so future releases should be better.

Please let the iPad version be next. Everyone at our company has embraced Trello and there are a lot of iPads floating around. You can view boards on the web fine, but lose the drag-and-drop niceties in the iPad browser.

The iPad version is on its way, but it's a bit off yet. There's a vastly improved iPhone version that's going to come out first, plus...something else...that the team has been working on.

Both this and the iPhone app are nice for a 320px use case, but for tablet, the web app is much nicer. It would be great if the web app supported touch-based drag and drop (jQuery UI touch punch?). Or if the native apps (which do use draggable elements) were multi-col.

I'm not on the Trello team, but I've spoken to them about this, and the short version is that it's tough as nails to do this in a sane way that also works across a wide-enough cross-section of browsers to be worth the dev time at the moment. As far as I grok things, that's part of why they're focusing on native apps. I'll hope someone actually on the team, like hamidpalo, responds with more details.

I really hate it when iOS developers make Android apps.

Android has AccountManager. It automatically integrates with the accounts on your device. If you ever present you own UI for a login screen then you are doing it very very wrong.

What should have happened is that on start when I said I wanted to use a Google account it should have shown me the accounts from AccountManager, and then I would have picked and authorised one. No need for passwords etc.

I was wonderng, has anyone been using Trello for developing client projects - not in house products, but web applications services. I would really like to know about your experiences with Trello vs more traditional style trackers like Redmine/Trac etc. Edit: Just to be clear, I am not talking about a feature comparison. I understand Redmine has features like Wiki etc which are not in Trello. I am talking only about t…

We abandoned Github issues for Trello and also use it for project management amongst other things.

The single most useful thing is having all items in one place, be they features, administration work, bugs etc. It is trivial to reprioritise and trivial to see what is going to be done and has been done. You can also assign more than one person to a card which is handy sometimes.

The problem with most trackers is that they are project based and you often end up with your backend, frontend, Android & iOS apps being different projects. But often issues and planning span the projects, so you end up with arbitrary information and issues all over the place.

For wikis we've mostly ended up using Google Docs. Having people learn yet another syntax hasn't been helpful, and again you end up with cross project issues and linking.

Seems OK for an initial version. I think what both the Android and iPhone apps are missing is pinch to zoom so you can expand to see multiple lists at once and drag and drop between them.

The very first thing I did was try to pinch to zoom out to multiple lists. I've got a nice wide 10.1" screen. A single list stretched over that entire thing looks dumb.

Great to finally have the app, but really looking forward to some updates.
