We understand why you picked Basecamp as your PM tool of choice out of thousands of choices out there – It’s the same reason why we did! It’s intuitive, easy and simple to use. Doesn’t crash and it’s always there for you.

Well, we created Trailhead for the same reasons, so that you can continue to use your favorite application on an iPad in the most efficient way possible. Trailhead is an intuitively designed iPad app that provides a slick and quick interface to your Basecamp projects. The current release of Trailhead supports the two most important functions of Basecamp i.e, Messages and To-Dos.

Using this app, you can connect to any of your Basecamp accounts and browse through all your projects. You can view, edit and add comments to your messages. It retrieves all the right people and companies that are registered with each project for you to conveniently subscribe the messages to.

The management of To-Do lists is easier than the Basecamp web application itself. The To-Do lists view provides easy access to the lists and the action-items within, for the user to add new lists or items within the list, re-order the various items, finish\unfinished tasks and so on.

The user experience and usability design is very intuitive and flexible. The app lets users jump from a certain activity in one project, directly to an entirely different activity in any another project. It consumes as few user actions as possibly can in doing so.
