What people say about Starlie.
★★★★★
I couldn’t believe it when I saw somebody finally made an even better answer to Jira’s sunsetted native app. The web experience will never match a native app, and this app is proof of that. Still figuring my way around a few things, but this has been a game changer and is 20x better than the old app Jira put out. To the dev, you’re a hero, and I’ll try to share as much word of mouth as I can. Keep rocking the updates, you’ve built a wonderful piece of software.
Just subscribed. $14.99/year is totally worth it. Don’t let the cheapskates tell you any different.
★★★★★
Like it way more than web interface. I’m a product person, so I mostly use different types of boards and my experience became way smoother with this app.
