### 5/5 — One of Best & Simple in use

*2026-04-17*

Thanks for the latest update. It is really very useful app for planner .

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot :-)

### 2/5 — Nice Charts, Cumbersome Data Entry

*2023-09-28*

This is one of the best milestone/roadmap makers I have seen.  It provides a lot of options to format your data with colors and spacing and other visual features.  However, it is not easy to use, and takes a long time to create a chart.  It would be great if the developer could maintain the visual functionality but make it simpler to add and update information.

### 1/5 — Really Bad

*2022-08-23, version 1.38*

No tutorial from YouTube … on on line tutorial, total waste and these reviews will not help

### 5/5 — One of Best & Simple in use

*2022-08-15*

I was looking simple Gantt event type app where chart to show plan for family trips, health, subscription and other activities. I tested dozen of apps but were complex, expensive. This is really simple and futuristic. Request to developer continue to to support and update in line with latest IOS with more features. Like interactive graph touch milestones and can edit on backup screen etc. Save & restore the graph (some thing like backup). I was using as free app but now paid, because nothing else to compare this app.

**Developer response:** Thanks a lot :-)

### 5/5 — Best app ever!!

*2022-05-09, version 1.38*

I’ve used this app for 5 years to plan my entire adventure tourism business’s season. 

It’s very reliable and allows me to be creative with the way I view my schedule: assign meaning to Color’s, group milestones by type of service, etc.

### 5/5 — Best App for Tracking Milestones

*2020-03-29, version 1.35*

Very good app, robust, reliable and friendly to use.  Well done!

### 4/5 — Good App

*2019-04-22, version 1.35*

Works on my iPad mini 5
There is a youtube video but it is in German 
Provided examples are useful
I would give 5 stars if there were a full user guide or English youtube

### 4/5 — Fixed

*2019-03-11*

After crashing I removed app. A few weeks later a developer response allowed me to reinstall. Al working well. It does everything it says and bridges the gap between getting nice schedule visuals for both home and work use. I haven't found anything that matches it for home use.

**Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the feedback. The issues with crashes are fixed so please give it a chance again...

### 1/5 — It doesn’t work!

*2018-09-10, version 1.34*

Makes no sense. Can’t add dates. On my iPhone, it won’t let you creat an item. It won’t let add dates to that item. It is totally unclear how to create a group. All fundamental to this working. Some step-by-step instructions are needed if you choose to use abstruse steps to create items and families of items.

### 2/5 — Insufficient Customization

*2018-04-16, version 1.32*

App is good but doesn’t allow different “time” scales for work projects which are defined by week numbers as opposed to family schedules that are always discussed in absolute (direct) dates.

Also APP needs ability to share datafile between app and excel and other phones that my be running the app
