Kanban

As said previously - ALL of the tools were just digital simulations of the Kanban methodology. No copywriting there. Nicely said (Quote): "Kanban (看板 ?) (literally signboard or billboard in Japanese) is a scheduling system for lean manufacturing and just-in-time manufacturing. Kanban is an inventory-control system to control the supply chain. Taiichi Ohno, an industrial engineer at Toyota, developed kanban to improve manufacturing efficiency." (EoQ). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kanban

Kanban was developed in Japan from the fifties when Toyota started applying Shewhart's and Deming's ideas on Quality in practice: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._Edwards_Deming

So, apps are as good as people can apply the methodology of linear project flow in practice. They do differ in the way they add and/or acquired data and in the way the administer user rights. What I would like to see is the development of the concept within the apps - so they stop emulating and start innovating :-)
