### 5/5 — Incredible app

*2026-02-01*

By far, the best app for planning any project, small or large providing helpful insights on the logic. The app is not a planning software, it is a “way of working” that is logical and consistent. Thanks for a great solution for planning everything.

### 5/5 — INCROYABLE !!!

*2026-01-05*

Si seulement j’avais découvert cette application plutôt !!!!
inShort permet de formaliser les idées, les projets ou les processus les plus complexes. On peut ainsi visualiser ce qui est dans notre tête, et même pour les esprits les plus tordus. Cela permet non seulement d’améliorer et d’enrichir toutes nos réflexions, de conserver une trace claire et compréhensible rendant ainsi les projets exploitables dans le temps, mais inShort permet aussi de pouvoir travailler en groupe. En effet, grâce à cet outil, il est désormais très simple de présenter son travail, de collaborer ou encore de former des personnes. Enfin, j’utilise également inShort pour gérer mon workflow. Il est désormais très simple d’organiser des ressources et de les retrouver en 1clic.
Moi qui suis formateur académique, je vois en inShort un potentiel incroyable.
Je l’utilise aussi pour concevoir l’architecture complexe d’Escape Game que je réalise. La possibilité de pouvoir travailler sous forme de Diagram de plusieurs niveaux permet d’aborder les architecture les plus complexes. Enfin, je ne me perd plus dans mes idées !! Et en plus, les différentes vues associées à mon Diagram permettent d’organiser un projet dans le temps.
Et comme si cela ne suffisait pas, le tutoriel de prise en main de cette application est juste parfait. Cela permet d’exploiter rapidement les fonctions principales et de comprendre la logique de fonctionnement de cet outil.
Bref, inShort est pour moi un outil incontournable pour le management de projet. Et franchement, à un prix défiant toute concurrence.
Bravo au concepteur !!

### 1/5 — Хуже первой части

*2025-12-28*

Обожаю первую часть, но даже скачав вторую пользуюсь первой. Вторая часть ужасна, не работают нормально интеграция с нейросетями, прошу либо добавить обучение, либо решить проблему, чтобы работало реально

### 5/5 — 非常漂亮

*2025-06-12*

非常不错的一个项目管理app

### 4/5 — 不同于一般的项目管理软件

*2025-03-13*

其它项目管理软件一般是甘特图和看板模式。该软件提供了流程图的方式管理项目，更直观。在流程图视图下很容易调整相关内容，比如任务的时间长短、先后关系等。但是，希望在甘特图模式下也能更直观的调整相关内容，比如任务的长度、先后关系。另外，希望有买断模式。不知道作者会不会关注到中国的使用者。

### 4/5 — 严谨的项目管理工具

*2025-03-10*

提供流程图示图，非常直观的管理。这和其它项目管理工具有完全不同的体验，很喜欢这种模式。如果能在甘特图模式下，也能更自由编辑和调整任务之间的关系、开始和技术的时间长度，会更方便。另外，希望有买断的购买方式。

### 5/5 — То что я искал

*2025-02-24*

10 лет в производственном бизнесе — и во второй раз руки дошли до книжек Э. Голдратта. После прочтения первой и немножко “Критической Цепи” стало ясно, что нужен инструмент для адекватного визуального представления всех процессов, которые у нас происходят. Несколько дней я искал хоть что-то похожее на то, что видел у себя в голове, и как только мне удалось адекватно описать чего я хочу - нашелся inShort. Я в полном восторге. Подписался

### 5/5 — Great Expansion of the Original

*2025-02-02*

User for years. inShort2: The ability to attach documents is greatly helpful for schedule reviews. Also the separation of projects into separate distinct files, is awesome, and will allow me to put it into production in my real work environemt.  Iouri's responsiveness is much appreciated.

### 5/5 — Innovative app

*2024-12-06*

I love how the developer is being very innovative here!
I am just staring to use the app, the diversity of charts and the accompanying feature of scheduling and syncing with apple calendar (which can be further synced to google calender) is really awesome, 

If there can be an explaination/how to for all the functions maybe in a dictionary- help page would be even more awesome.

### 3/5 — Lots of potential, but…

*2024-12-02*

Nice interface. Not always intuitive, but generally figured it out. However, doesn’t appear to support resource leveling. (The underlying methodology is supposedly Theory of Constraints-based, so presumably Critical Chain Project Management. CCPM apparently believes that resources should not be assigned to concurrent tasks, but that’s not a feature of this scheduler.)
