Don't Force us to use the mobile app
As many have said on this forum, iPad's are not "big iPhones", and the iPad OS uses for Wrike MUCH more closely mirror a laptops uses for Wrike than a phone's uses for Wrike. I mean my 12.9 inch iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard and giant trackpad is bigger than some of my laptops!
Yet, Wrike's website makes it almost impossible to actually get into Wrike, and FORCES you to open your content on the Wrike mobile app. This might be fine for a phone, where your use case might be answer something from your inbox, or changing the status of a single task, but people do real project management on iPads, and the app has so little feature parity with the desktop app or website, that it's not a great experience on a tablet device.
So until the iPad app get's feature parity with the website / desktop app, I'm just asking you, DON'T force people into the app when they are trying to get to Wrike.com. Make it an option sure, put up the pop-up when you first log in that says "hey you might like the iPad app" like a lot of sites do, but let people go on an do their work on the web version of Wrike if they want to.
I have used other browser's on the iPad to interact with the Wrike website for YEARS and it works great, in fact recent updates have even IMPROVED how it works with a touch screen (like being able to drag KanBan) items around finally!
I would love to see feature parity on tablets someday, but until then, please unlock the artificial wall on Wrike.com via Safari on iPadOS, please.....

I really hate it too, it’s terrible, and there is one more thing what I have to mention.
If you try to open a link from “mail” or “outlook”, I always get the screen, please install app. So there is currently no way get from a link to a task on a tablet. Please change that, I want to work on my tablet in the browser!

The app has definitely improved on IOS, but i still need to have access via browser for access to many things, so please make this available again too. BTW, i started using the #MACApplication again recently too and it is way improved! It’s now my primary way of using on my desktop…

The iOS app is almost unusable, dashboards look terrible, functions don’t work, and reports don’t show up at all. please allow us to access the web version through any iOS browser. Is there a hack to get passed the “download the app” button?
Hey Everyone!
If you are using a web browser to access Wrike on iPad, you can go to the browser settings (usually at the top or top-right) and can choose "request desktop site" option. This should enable you to see the desktop version of Wrike on a browser on iPad.
We understand how crucial it is to have full functionality and a seamless experience, especially when it comes to important features like dashboards. We are continuously working to improve the Wrike mobile app experience and your feedback is invaluable. Our mobile team is actively developing new features and enhancements, including improvements to dashboards.

Is there any workaround? This is not cool.
Hi Alexej Khalilzada, Welcome to the community! 🙋🏻♀️
As mentioned above, if you're using a web browser to access Wrike on your iPad, you can adjust your browser settings (usually found at the top or top-right) and select the "Request Desktop Site" option. This should allow you to view the desktop version of Wrike on your iPad's browser.
I hope this helps! Our mobile team is actively working on new features and improvements for iOS, so you can look forward to an even more seamless experience in the future. Thank you!
