The notifications on the task chat in the desktop is great, but doesn’t help when in the field. ### 4/5 — Works great but could be better *2026-07-29, version 1.17.18* 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 ### 2/5 — Please do better *2026-07-12, version 1.17.17* Slow and inconsistent to load ### 2/5 — Plan view is painful *2026-06-25, version 1.17.17* It’s a start… at least I can see tasks assigned to ME on the go. Initially plans group by favorites but then once you click in, good luck. It’s random. No sorting to get back to the list of favorites. The desktop browser version calls these pinned. So annoying… but better than nothing. ### 3/5 — Missing Task Chat *2026-06-25, version 1.17.17* Web-based software application was updated and the comments in the task card became Task Chat. This update is missing on the mobile app ### 4/5 — Basic but good *2026-06-08, version 1.17.16* Some basic refinements would be good, such as: A option to arrange items within a todo list in the order of one of a number of optional categories . Alerts would be useful. Maybe a sortable overall cost box, and even an optional cost box for each item in the todo list ### 2/5 — Needs to update planner logo *2026-06-04, version 1.17.16* Uses the outdated planner logo. Shows how little attention this app is getting ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-05-28, version 1.17.15* Nice and simple. I sure hope it gets more customization options. I’d love to see a progress bar on the basic tier ### 3/5 — No widget? *2026-05-21, version 1.17.15* Decent app. But could do better. Especially if it was enabling widgets or Split View. Keep going! ### 4/5 — Pretty good *2026-05-19, version 1.17.15* Nice and simple. I sure hope it gets more customization options. I’d love to see a progress bar. ### 4/5 — Add to My Day missing *2026-05-13, version 1.17.15* Unable to add a task to my day using the mobile app. I can add a task to my day in the To Do app, but my tasks aren't broken out into buckets, making them more difficult to organize. ### 1/5 — Zero stars *2026-05-13, version 1.17.15* Can't get into app. Schools and businesses isn't the only one that needs this app. I'm studying on my own I'm not part of a giant Corp. They wont let people with regular accounts use app. Waste of time and data. Also, when is we going to get a diary app for iPad users. ### 1/5 — 🚶🏻 *2026-05-08, version 1.17.15* Well yes ### 4/5 — Aufgabenchats fehlen in mobiler Version! *2026-05-07* Seit kurzem gibt es in der webbasierten Version die Aufgabenchats in jeder Aufgabe. Damit kann eine aktuelle Info in einer Aufgabe direkt ins Emailfach an die beteiligten Teamer gesendet werden. Das ist eine tolle Neuerung! Leider wurde diese Funktion (noch?) nicht in der App nachgezogen. Ich hoffe, das folgt asap und hebt den Informationsunterschied zw. beiden Versionen auf. Besonders für Teams auf Desktop- und mobil Arbeitenden ist diese Lücke nicht nur lästig, sondern regelrecht gefährlich! ### 1/5 — Very bad does not. Work at all *2026-05-03, version 1.17.15* Only just installed this app tried to set up my first project and I’ve been waiting now for for 20 minutes still nothing happening ### 1/5 — Doesn’t Work *2026-04-15, version 1.17.15* No update for 10 years ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Premium Planner Plans not supported *2026-07-31, version 1.17.18* Premium Planner Plans not supported on app ### 1/5 — Terrible UI *2026-07-27, version 1.17.18* UI is terrible. Lots of wasted space, eg can only see 3 tasks at once. I was looking at Planner for task management, but it looks like an auto generated UI rather than something that someone created. Uninstalling now ### 1/5 — Terrible UI *2026-07-24, version 1.17.17* Can’t believe this is a published Microsoft product, the user interface is awful. Look at Microsoft To Do, then look at this it is unbelievable the difference in quality. ### 1/5 — Not updating desktop version *2026-07-19, version 1.17.17* Mobile app does not update desktop version or the data stored in the cloud. So in short this app is useless. ### 1/5 — Complete fail *2026-07-16, version 1.17.17* Can’t search for active plan. Can’t open premium plans. Doesn’t integrate correctly with sso. Wow. Someone tried very hard to make this a very bad user experience. ### 1/5 — Crashes / unresponsive *2026-07-08, version 1.17.17* App crashes repeatedly … and takes over 15 seconds every time to open files that were previously opened. I’m glad my work paid for this app as I wouldn’t pay a dime for this ### 1/5 — Non compatible avec Planner desktop *2026-06-16, version 1.17.17* C’est vraiment dommage de prendre les utilisateurs en otage comme cela, les mises à jours sont lancé avant même l’intégration complète dans les versions mobiles. Résultat, depuis plusieurs semaines je ne peut plus communiquer avec mon équipe terrain qui utilise l’app mobile car les commentaires de tâches ne sont plus visible du tout dans l’app bureau. Les fils de conversation de l’app bureau ne sont également pas visible dans l’app mobile. Lorsqu’un collègue du bureau me tag dans une discussion de tache, je reçois une notification sur mon cellulaire et je ne suis même pas capable de voir le message! Aucune idée également de quand cela sera réglé dans le blogue de MICROSOFT. ### 1/5 — Me *2026-06-08, version 1.17.16* Microsoft sucks ### 1/5 — Premium plan doesn’t work *2026-06-05, version 1.17.16* My workplace pays for a very expensive premium license and it doesn’t work in the app. It only has the basic features. ### 1/5 — Péssimo *2026-05-28, version 1.17.15* Ele entra em loop quando voce tem licença premium. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great tool *2026-08-13, version 1.17.18* 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. ### 5/5 — The planning tool most people managers need *2026-07-01, version 1.17.17* Most businesses are small and medium enterprises. This means that most managers are managing small teams and they need efficient tools that are not very complex and readily usable to manage teams of 2 to 20 to 200. Microsoft Planner does exactly that. With absolute no learning curve and designed to be integrated within the organization managing small teams with plans, portfolios and tasks. It works across platforms and devices. Thank you Microsoft. I wish I had known about Planner sooner. I wish it’s more widely known. ### 5/5 — ADHD lifesaver *2026-04-29, version 1.17.15* I have ADHD in this app keeps me organized and on task a lot of features that are extremely ### 5/5 — Plans *2026-04-14, version 1.17.15* Rip ### 5/5 — Finalement une application pour mes to-do-list! 😃 *2026-01-23, version 1.17.11* Ça faisait longtemps que je cherchais une application pour faire mes « To-Do-List » et mes autres listes (épiceries ou trucs à acheter par exemple). J’ai trouvé finalement trouvé l’application qui m’a fait abandonné mes milliards de listes papier 😃 ### 5/5 — Excellent for follow ups! *2025-12-15, version 1.17.11* Works seamlessly with To Do, keeps tasks at the forefront when you need them and easy to collaborate. ### 5/5 — Life saver *2025-12-06, version 1.17.11* Just what I needed being on the go and connecting with my projects at my fingertips ### 5/5 — Personal Organizer *2025-08-12* This app is extremely useful for organizing ones to do list and having the ability to prioritize each item - setting a due date - seeing where one is at with individual items and you can group them into different buckets so if you have your Basic Miscellaneous group to do list - or if you have a Shopping group to do list - you can then organize these lists effectively- for example there may be particular stores that you are going to be going to whether it’s for groceries or possibly Walmart and individually within those ‘to do’ tasks you can list the different items you need to pick up via a checklist and add to them immediately. It’s so useful for staying on top of things. ### 5/5 — Seamless *2025-07-23, version 1.17.8* Works great and is seamless between my computer and devices. This app is my primary task list tool. ### 5/5 — ICON not changed? *2025-05-02* why icon in desktop different from ipad --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
