At hCentive, we are big users of Jira Studio. Its been a big help for our distributed team. Unfortunately, I am yet to find a good app to use Jira Studio from my iPhone.
Features I need in my Jira Studio iPhone app (in the order of priority) are:
- Works with hosted Jira Studio
- Shows me what has changed recently
- Ability to add comments to issues
- Allow editing of jira issues and allow me to transition it through its workflow
Features that are desirable:
- Allows creation of issues
- Shows me Greenhopper boards (Planning Board and Task Board).
- Allows saving of favorite filters and projects
- Integrates confluence activities in the same screen
- Text based search of issues (and possibly confluence data)
- Caching for offline access
- Allows fisheye view of SVN (read only)
- Supports custom workflow transitions and custom fields.
I have looked at JiraMate and iJira. The developer for both the applications are apparently slow to respond and both the applications are not being frequently updated (neither of them is compatible with OS 3.0)
JiraMate seems to be richer in features with ability to save favorite filters and projects and ability to comment. However, it does not support any editing of issues or any workflow transition.
iJira, apparently, does not work with hosted Jira and crashes when a project has large (>1000) number of issues. It allows editing of issues and sorting on many fields.
Neither app provides any integration with Confluence or Fisheye. There seemsĀ to be some confluence apps available and mini confluence actually seem nice but I think an integrated jira+confluence+fisheye app can be very useful for many developers and small teams.
I am just surprised that there are no good apps here. Is there no market for an iPhone version of Jira Studio?
[...] JiraMate – I need an app for my Jira. Unfortuately, this is not a good choice today. I have blogged about lack of a good Jira app on iPhone. [...]
Please check out the fresh JiraTouch IPhone application. JiraTouhc provides full set of Jira functionality on Iphone.
Thanks. JiraTouch seems nice. I will update the review after trying it out.
