"I cant access my account - support acts like I can - Bad Interaction."
2/5
What do you like best about Linear?

Since an incident I had, my whole impression has changed. Product is good, but the people around it make it unessarily hard to trust and use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linear?

From my experience as of now, nothing. Support when i asked for my account access back, switched on many things he/she asked me for and then took a wierd position of educating me on what security is. I am an engineer, I dont just talk about security, I actually implement it, talking down about me on security is ludicrous when i need access to my Linear account.

"I am in Love with Linear"
5/5
What do you like best about Linear?

Linear is everything that I ever dreamed a development tracking tool could be and MORE.

I've used so many different tools in the past, and for a me (someone who works on small software product development teams), it's the best thing I've ever seen.

What I love:

- it's fast. really fast

- it's beautiful . I believe the founder/CEO is a designer? It's shows. The UX is flawless. I feel happy every time I open the product.

- it integrates with Github

- it's super easy to configure to fit the way we work

- when entering a new issue, potential duplicates are conveniently displayed

- highlight text and make an issue

- best WYSIWYG editor in any tracking tool I've ever used. It just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linear?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but there is literally nothing I dislike about this tool. Well done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The most streamlined issue-tracking tool"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Linear?

It's simple and easy to use, with all the features you want and very little that you don't need. It integrates well with other services we use like Slack, Figma, and Canny Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linear?

Nothing bad to say really. They toyed with some glassmorphic design elements recently that I didn't love but they've since abandoned that thankfully. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Linear is a supercharged productivity tool for agile and scrum"
4/5
What do you like best about Linear?

The best feature of the Linear app is the ease of use and simplicity compared to other task management tools. With Linear, creating roadmaps, sprint planning, and tracking tasks is child's play. The keyboard shortcuts are also one of the best thing I like about Linear Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Linear?

Honestly, there is not much that you won't like about Linear. Things that might be improved can be more visibility and discoverability of sprint performance. Maybe make it easier to see distribution of work between different team members and teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
