Do you really need to download the app to find out that it's a trial version and you need to sign up.jazzybeat
The “free” 2-week trial is disingenuous
I need a project planning tool,
This looks like a great one.
I would like to try using it during the “free trial”, but I can’t. The two week free trial is in “read only” mode, where I can’t make a project to try it out.
Yes, I could sign up for the monthly subscription- but I’m not going to, (1) now I have to remember to cancel it if I don’t like this app, and (2) I feel lied to. The product description didn’t say anything about a read-only trial, it’s only in the app.
And to me, that is disingenuous & I cannot support thatShow lessB1001010

We're very sorry that you ran in to trouble trialing OmniPlan! The two week trial is intended to unlock all Pro functionality. If this is something you'd like to revisit in the future, we'd be happy to reset OmniPlan's trial period for you. The best way to contact us is via email (omniplan@omnigroup.com). Thanks!Absolutely overpriced, buggy and mediocre when it does work
Version 4 is no different than 3 from what I could see. A few new features that do not help with scheduling, just fluff.
Omniplan 3 is now broken and unusable and the fix is to buy a new version. Why would I buy a new version when we are still waiting on fixes from the previous version?
I have been trying to use Omniplan 3 for a few years to run my fabrication shop schedule. It has had the same bugs and short comings since day 1. But instead of fixing the one I paid for they made version 4 and said I can upgrade. I paid for the full pro version and was amazed at how buggy it was. And, when it did work it was mediocre at best. We deceived to go with Omniplan and get 1 dedicated Mac just for this software only to find out you can only share with other Omniplan users. So I have to print out screen shots or PDF’s to share with my team. And the tech support, that’s a just message board that has long been abounded I have questions up there for almost a year and not a single person from Omniplan has even bothered to acknowledge them.Show lesstripslip2000
Decent C Student
in 1989 I ran MacProject on a 16 MHz 68030 Mac IIcx which was roughly 80 times slower than my current MacBook Pro, yet MacProject had signifiantly more capablity and better usablity.
OmniPlan still lacks the more sophisticated "network" or PERT Chart capablities of MacProject 31 years ago. OmniPlan still lacks the ablity to have sub-projects, like MacProject had, which makes OmniPlan less than enterprise grade.
MacProject was one reason why senior management at Sabre ran Macs in the 80/90's, because MS Project did not come close.
This tool is the best we have today for project planning, but by far not the best we have had.Show lessCerniuk
