Another Microsoft slop app

Hit an arbitrary ’limit’ on items, tried to complete and clear items, the ‘limit’ prevented me from removing them. Deleted the app and went back to Apple Reminders. Microsoft apps designed by Microsoft engineers for Microsoft engineers, but not actual human beings. That’s standard Microsoft software outside their core office suite.

Sensitivity Labels are broken

This app does not honour sensitivity labels and forces the user to open in web browser. We do not have any controls implemented yet for our labels, so seems to be a bit broken.

Wish this was better supported

Clunky and consistent sinking limitations on Mobile version

Can’t access my pro plans

I can see existing tasks across all my planners but due to having a higher tier license I can’t access the plans at all which seems a bit backwards to me. You’d think that having a better license would unlock more functionalities on top of the existing options…

Even if there’s nothing else, still no.

From the windows 8 themes and styling, the buggy interface, terrible optimisation for ipads (was this even tested on one?), it’s a big old “meh”. Avoid.

Will not sync

Will not sync with phone

Doesn’t Work with Planner Premium

I cannot get my plans to load on this app, because they were made in planner premium. I’ve tried to troubleshoot with all the troubleshooting steps, but it’s just not working.

Bad in syncing

Very bad and slow in syncing.

Going backwards…

This used to be such a useful app but over the last few months it has become almost impossible to use. It’s super slow to load boards, comments save on the app but are not visible on the web and vice versa.

Lacks functionality of the web version

Microsoft needs to step up and update the functionality of this app. Many of us are on the move, and use our iPad’s and iPhone’s to manage ourselves and our work on the go. It is not useful in its current state.

Planner - not enough view options

Just not as good as the desktop app on my computer or via the web. Not enough view options. I use grid/list view, and the default list view isn’t compact enough. It has only one column in expanded view. Sorry unusable for me.

Unable to view my plans

Can’t view on mobile app, but have full access on desktop????

Planner - gut gemeint, nicht gut umgesetzt

Hi, toll, daß es eine Planner App auf dem iPad gibt, die den Screen komplett nutzt. Allerdings fehlen einige Funktionen im Planner, wie bspw. Entsprechende Filter nach Bezeichnungen. Die Suche funktioniert damit nicht. Wenn man dann den Planner im Browser verwenden möchte, ZWINGT einen das System, die App zu nutzen, d.h. Man hat keine Chance den Planner auf dem iPad im Browser zu nutzen. Damit kann man mit Microsoft an vielen Stellen auf dem iPad noch lange nicht so durchgängig arbeiten wie auf dem Rechner. Hier noch ein Hinweis auf die Teams-App. Da merkt man bei intensiver Nutzung, daß die Apps für iPad eher schlecht als recht im echten Business Leben getestet sind. Sind eher nur Hilfestellungen, wenn man den Rechner nicht zur Hand hat. Tja, ich hoffe auf Besserung. Das geht zu langsam aus meiner Sicht.
Ergänzung: neue Chatfunktion immer noch nicht auf iOS/ipados verfügbar

Comments/Chat

The internet and app versions of Planner seem to be different when it comes to comments and chat. What is the difference between them? Why can’t they be in both internet and app versions? And my team using it cannot see my chat messages, only comments. Do they need to be specifically assigned to an event to see the chat? Not thrilled with the communication side of Planner. My Team and I have been using this platform for a few years now.

Premium???

Impossible d’intégrer un Planner Premium dans l’application IOS.

Crash city

Crashes all the time. Cannot execute the most basic of tasks.

Great tool

Stoked that our government department is giving us good tools to plan and track work. So far I’m finding it useful. Just need to bring the teams on board.

Notifications in App

I need to be able to notify my team while on the go. The notifications on the task chat in the desktop is great, but doesn’t help when in the field.

Premium Planner Plans not supported

Premium Planner Plans not supported on app

Works great but could be better

It would be nice if Microsoft followed through and did not leave it half finished. Why disabled comments on the pc but not on phones? Also they created task chat on PC but did not enable it on phones. Please go one way or the other and not leave it in limbo. Also please allow drag and drop for attachments. I would love email messages for either task chat or comments. This app works well for team collaboration so please follow through. Thanks
