This week in public discussion

Commenters flagged issues including broken mobile login, offline limitations, and general reliability concerns, while several mentions also raised questions about the company's direction following reported layoffs tied to AI.

New design is bad. The new app design no longer makes it possible to view company folders. Used to have an easy navigation menu at the top left and they removed it.

FINALLY! Works just like. The App does everything the website does now. Still missing some reporting features but otherwise it’s an amazing improvement!

BETTER THAN SLACKS. It is so good and you don’t even have to pay for any features. It’s all free. I definitely recommend this rather than slacks because it slacks you have to pay for everything basically it also it’s so easy to add people, but one recommendation is that you could...

Managing social media. ClickUp has an online feature called “task type” that helps me organize my tasks into different groups depending on what they are (posts, reels, audits, etc.). The app version does not support this feature. Which was fine initially because the workspaces li...

Deeper analysis

  • Bugs were the dominant complaint theme and generated far more discussion than any praise category over the four-week window.
  • Sentiment dipped to its lowest point in late May during a spike in mentions, then partially recovered into June but remained unstable.
  • Opinion was divided between users citing feature breadth as a strength and others actively exploring or recommending alternative tools.
  • Commentary around AI quality and reported workforce restructuring introduced a layer of concern about the product's direction that was absent from purely functional critiques.

Discussion around ClickUp over the past four weeks was dominated by frustration rather than enthusiasm, with complaints outpacing praise by a considerable margin in raw mention counts. Bug reports were the single loudest theme, appearing nearly twice as often as any other complaint category, and several mentions pointed to concrete functional failures including broken mobile login flows and tasks not reflecting correct statuses. UI dissatisfaction, missing features, and concerns about integration gaps compounded the negative signal, while commentary around AI quality added a newer layer of skepticism that appeared to be gaining traction in the conversation.

On the positive side, commenters did acknowledge breadth of features and integration strengths, though these mentions were notably fewer in number. Ease of use and pricing drew only scattered positive remarks, suggesting that for most participants in the discussion, the product's value proposition was not a primary talking point.

Sentiment trajectory told a somewhat volatile story over the tracked window. Scores climbed meaningfully in early May before pulling back, then dipped to their lowest point in late May, which coincided with a notable spike in total mentions, suggesting a burst of critical discussion at that moment. A partial recovery followed into early June, with the most recent readings stabilizing at a modestly higher level, though still below the mid-May peak.

Opinion appeared most divided around the product's identity and direction. Several mentions framed ClickUp in the context of AI-driven workforce changes, including references to reported layoffs in favor of AI agents, which generated a distinct undercurrent of unease. Some commenters positioned the product favorably in review-style contexts, while others actively highlighted open-source alternatives as preferable, suggesting a community that is genuinely split on whether the platform merits continued investment.
