Android widget does not refresh automatically

I added a widget from the official Asana Android app to the desktop. I noticed that the widget does not refresh automatically. Example:
[16:00] I created a task with due time 17:00. The Widget shows 17:00 in green color.
[17:01] The widget still shows the task with 17:00 in green color, although the time has passed.
If I open the Android app now, the app shows 17:00 in red color, and the widget is updated accordingly.
It would be nice if widget can update automatically, without needing to open the app to force a refresh.

Thanks for the quick reply, Marie. Looking forward to the fix!

Hello, wanted to check in on this as well. Would there be a timeline for when the widget can autorefresh?

It would be a huge timesaver for our workflow if this could happen :slight_smile:

Agreed. This is a basic, but much needed feature for widgets.
I see this report was filed in March. Any updates on a roll out?

Hi. Aby news on this one?

Looking for a resolution on this issue. It currently is a deal breaker for my use of Asana

Looks like this is still not fixed?!

Hi @Victor_Vorski, I’ve asked an up date from out Development Team and will keep you posted as soon as I have an update!

Hi folks,

Just a quick not to let you know our team pushed a fix for this issue in the next update. Marking this thread resolved, but please let me know if you continue running into trouble!

Have a great day!

I still am encountering this issue. Which version of the android app fixes this issue?

I have noticed that the Android widget for Asana really has troubles updating if I make a change to any tasks due dates or completion status. Most of the time old tasks are just sitting in the widget until I click into the app and then they refresh. Is anyone else having this problem? I am on a Galaxy S 10+ if that is helpful.

I’m also having this problem and makes the widget useless.

Exactly how I feel about it. I had it on my home screen but having to click into the app every time to see an update made it pretty unusable. Just wanted to make sure it wasn’t just me.

Hi @Sam_Caldwell, @Paul_Grobler and @Andrew_Perry :wave:t3:

This issue should have been solved in the latest version of our Android app (6.25.1); can you all make sure your app is up to date?
