Station - One app to rule them all

It's powerful now but I hope you can add Apple series into this

Clean,fast

No iCloud, standalone Onedrive

Great to use! But sometimes when I open links in emails, it would be nice to have a small browser to do it in.

Easy to use, has all the apps I need.

I wish there was a minimalist browser

Many users in tech productivity use linux

Interesting

But not in linux

Seems like a great idea, I'm looking forward to trying it a bit longer.

I regret having integrated Flowdock.

Notifications (red dot) don't appear on the icon, I have to rely on my phone to notify me.

So I'm removing flowdock for now, going back to their desktop app.

Is that the case for all messaging apps? I only seem to see "Red dot" notifications for Google apps.

Let's see how it goes with the rest.

The end of multiple tabs

1-1 Notifications arent showing on Flowdock icon

Station has all the productivity apps I need in one space, eliminating almost all distractions...except ads. PLEASE provide some ad blocking feature in the near future!

Very sleek, user friendly tool

No AdBlock feature (yet?)

I have a problem with login in one of my computers. Try to reach out for support several times, no response.

It's the best of the category. You can use Google Drive perfectly inside the app.

No support

I started using Station after realizing I had so many apps open! It is intuitive to use, has a clean layout, and has so many apps available. I was very impressed with the fact that there were so many apps and not just the commonly used ones. I highly recommend this product to anyone who wants a way to look at everything at once.

My biggest complaint is that I cannot add/delete on Google Calendar; I have to open Google Calendar on my browser and edit it on there. Another (smaller) complaint is that there doesn't seem to be shortcuts to move easily from app to app. For example, in Slack, you can move from different slack groups with a shortcut.

A great place to find aggregate all my apps!

Can't add/delete on Google Calendar and no shortcuts to move between apps.

I’ve tried Station for a couple of days and so far I don’t see it working for me better than the browser.

1. Putting apps to sleep is actually a major con for me.

- Chat apps - Hangouts, Telegram, Whatsapp - when they go to sleep you don’t get any notification about new messages. Which kind of kills the whole purpose of chat apps.

- Waking up an app takes longer than switching to an open loaded tab in browser.

2. Useless badge count.

I’m not a “zero inbox” person. So I have about couple of hundreds of unreads in my Gmail inbox. So now Station badge shows 99+. And this makes it useless for me.

3. Inability to use browser extensions.

I have several Chrome extensions that I rely on - like Streak for Gmail. And so switching to Station I just lose features that are important to me.

4. No advantages over pinned Chrome tabs and bookmarks.

I usually keep 3-5 apps I use most often used apps pinned in Chrome. And other useful apps just a click away in bookmarks. And I just don’t see how using Station is better.

Nice idea to have a dashboard for service apps.

Unclear advantages over browser, putting chat apps to sleep prevents from getting messages, useless badge.

I would like to be able to add more tabs under pages like linkedin

Fast loading of my Key apps

Nothing so far , i know it can be better and you guys are on top of it

I think this could be very good app with some improvements. However I do have couple of issues at the moment.

1. App bugs - I think I force restarted session 10+ times in one week. Sometimes apps won't load when you first add them, sometimes you'll get logged out of apps for no reason, and sometimes certain links that open in a new window just won't work.

For example, I got logged out of my Office365 session, and it required me to delete the app and add it again. In the same app, replies to calendar invites also don't work. Adding both Salesforce and HelpScount required restarts.

2. One of my biggest issues is that it took me ages to figure out how to open a "new tab" of a specific app so that I could save it as a bookmark (which I really like as a functionality). To do this you need to right-click a link in your app and select "Open in new tab" (so essentially this works like a browser), but the tabs themselves are hidden in the dock which only appears once you hover a mouse over an app icon. My intuitive feeling was that I'm supposed to do this from the dock, given that by default you don't see the open tabs, so maybe that's just me.

Combine that with the fact that you can't open the dock with a keyboard shortcut, or that you also can't pin it so that it's always open, and I think it loses a lot of its appeal.

I'll try using it again in a few months to see if there's any improvements.

The interface is clean, the performance seems pretty good, a lot of apps in the directory already

Some key apps are buggy and limited in functionality, a couple of key functionalities are lacking shortcuts or are hard to figure out.
