What’s wrong?

The biggest problem I came across, when using Bontq is the client application was created with Java. Because of this it was flaky and didn’t run on all client machines. Anyone using Linux or even Mac will have a very hard time running the client application. Other than that, Bontq was an outstanding solution.

Bontq is a user-friendly issue tracking and project management cloud-hosted system. It provides the easiest way to manage projects,track bugs, add tasks and store documentation. Bontqs integrated Desktop Client allows you to capture screenshots and record videos to show everything in details.
