Overview

Wrike’s iOS app allows you to stay on top of your projects and connect with your team on the go. The application is available as a free download and supported by iPhone and iPad devices with iOS 12+.

Please note the features in the app are available according to your subscription type.

Navigate the App

By default, in the bottom panel of the app you can switch between the following sections:

  • Inbox allows you to keep up with updates. You can find all incoming, sent, and archived notifications there. Swipe right to mark a notification as read or unread. Swipe left to archive a message. Tap on the funnel icon to make the Inbox show all updates or unread ones only.
  • My to-do shows the tasks you’re assigned to. You can customize the task filtering and sorting via the funnel icon in the top-right corner.
  • Dashboard view shows your tasks on dashboards and widgets that you have set up in your browser version of Wrike.
  • Browse allows you to navigate between spaces, search for items, and access all other projects and folders in the account. To find a task, folder, or project, type its name into the search option at the top of the screen.

Customize the Bottom Panel

  1. Tap on “More” in the bottom-right corner of your screen.
  2. Tap on “Settings.”
  3. Switch to “Navigation settings.” From here you can:
    • Hide titles in the bottom panel by tapping on the slider.
    • Choose the bottom panel color (dark or light).
    • Tap on items to add or delete them from your bottom panel.

Please note “Inbox” and “More” can’t be removed from the bottom panel.

Highlights

Highlights allow you to track your progress as well as to see what’s happening with tasks that you’ve created.

When you click on the Highlights icon (a bulb) in the upper right-hand corner of your app you will see:

  • List of tasks/projects you’ve completed this week
  • List of tasks/projects you created and that are idling
  • List of idling tasks/projects assigned to you
  • Tasks/projects that you’ve created with approaching deadlines
  • Tasks/projects assigned to you with approaching deadlines

If you don’t want some of these widgets to be displayed you can hide them by pressing “Hide” on the widget card.

Wrike Tip! Enable “Weekly highlights reminders” to see information from Highlights in your Inbox on a weekly basis. To do so open “Settings” and switch the toggle for the “Weekly highlights reminders.”

View a different widget: Widgets are listed at the top of the view under the dashboard’s name. Tap a different widget name to view that widget. If you have a lot of widgets you may have to scroll to the left or right to see more widget names with column view or up and down with list view.

Working Offline

When working offline, you'll be able to access some data that was stored during your current session*.

  • If you've opened a folder, project, My to-do, Inbox, or Dashboards while online, you can view and open tasks from that section while offline. You can also edit the tasks' titles, assignees, dates, statuses, and folder tags. You’ll only be able to see/open tasks that match the same filters you were using while online.
  • You can also create new tasks, add comments, and attach files to tasks while offline. When you connect to the internet again, your changes will be synced.
  • Submit requests while you’re offline (for Business or Enterprise users). A task or project is created once you connect to the internet.
  • View Reports while you’re offline. You can only view the reports you opened previously while online.
  • Reorder tasks in folders and projects that you've opened while online to change their priority (sort tasks by “Priority” to do it). Your changes are synced when you connect to the internet again.

*Please note your phone begins storing data starting from when you log in to your current session, but if you log out or restart your phone, then you’ll have to reopen folders while online to access them offline.
