Basecamp 2

Keep up with Basecamp 2 projects on Android

Basecamp 2 is a companion app for teams already using Basecamp 2 to organize project work. It lets you check recent activity, join discussions, follow to-do progress and view files shared in a project. It suits people who need to refer to project updates or contribute while away from a computer; it is not a standalone project tool.

What you can do

Use the app to see the latest news across your projects and add your thoughts to a discussion. You can also check which to-dos team members have completed and open uploaded files. That makes it useful for keeping track of ongoing work and finding project information on the go, though the supplied details do not describe additional task-management or file-editing tools.

Check which Basecamp you use

You need an account on Basecamp 2. The app does not support Basecamp Classic, so it will not help if your team is still using that older service. If you do not have access to a Basecamp 2 account, this app alone will not give you a place to create or manage projects.

What the ratings suggest

Basecamp 2 is published by 37signals and has 500,000+ installs. Its rating is 3.01 out of 5 from 3,833 ratings. That is a mixed reception, so the listing’s popularity should not be taken as a guarantee that the Android experience will suit every team. The practical fit is clearest when your work already lives in Basecamp 2 and you mainly need mobile access to updates, conversations, to-dos and files.
