But way too many bugs. Crashes when you delete tasks, some buttons don't work, can't change dates and durations. ### 3/5 — Great with one annoying bug. *2014-12-04, version 2.4.2* Crashes on my iPad 3 every time I delete a task. Please fix this annoying bug. Otherwise, I think this is a great stripped down Project planner for the price. ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2014-11-07, version 2.4.2* I'm really not happy with this App. Initially it seemed ok but there are very limited features and its full of bugs keeps moving tasks on its own without warning and ruining the plan! I want a refund!! ### 1/5 — Calendar *2014-09-27, version 2.4.1* Calendar issues need sorting , as start date and finish date have to be this week , no way of changing month year etc. Sort ASAP please ### 1/5 — Does not work ! *2014-09-22, version 2.4.0* Despite the bad reviews, I decided to try Project Planner HD as there are not many project management tools for the iOS and OS X platforms. I could not even create the first project, as there is a bug in the calendar and I can't set the project start date. I have never seen an application that fails so badly in the first screen. I will try technical support, but I suspect I will have to find a way to get my money back in AppStore. ### 2/5 — Poor *2014-08-29, version 2.3.1* Looks good but every time I edit and save it crashes ### 3/5 — Not easy to use *2014-07-18, version 2.3.0* Although the app appears to have the capability to perform for my requirements, it is not easy to navigate to set new tasks or adjust the plan and I am unable to access any source of help, - even by going online! ### 3/5 — Too few options *2014-07-15, version 2.3.0* Too few options for price, need to be able to control text color and size as when export and print, can't make out the text. Also the Gantt chart does not export and work in the ganttproject program, kind of pointless if this won't work in the defacto program for Gantt files. 3 star because this app is about halfway there. ### 1/5 — Poor *2014-07-14, version 2.3.0* I just got it. Looks poor and very little functions. Waste of my money. ### 3/5 — Jamey06 *2014-06-26, version 2.3.0* Would be 5 stars if more options when exporting. Needs more ways to format.. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2014-04-18, version 2.2.5* Not a bad app, good for the price, but a lack of compatibility with MS Project is a real drawback for serious work. Was looking for an app that could be used mostly to read MS files, and allow a little 'on the move' editing. This is not it. If you want a simple, easy to use, but limited PM app this is not a bad choice ### 3/5 — Project Manager *2014-04-16, version 2.2.5* Overall, this is a good app. Good for basic task tracking and note taking. Reason for only three stars is when Exporting as a PDF, if not are too long, the program cuts the notes out to fit in box, even though there is more then enough space to include them. A nice feature would be if it helped budget your costs out. Good app for basic planning, but not for full fledge Project Manangement. ### 1/5 — Terrible! *2014-01-31, version 2.2.4* Terrible! Waste of money! ### 3/5 — Good, but at least one glitch.. *2014-01-29, version 2.2.4* I like the App however I cannot edit the default calendar options to set Friday as the holy day and start the week on a Saturday. ### 1/5 — Disappointment *2013-12-23, version 2.2.2* I saw an online comparison that praised this version. I just don't understand why. I am very skilled in PM software and this is really painful to use. Since it is not intuitive I actually looked for help. I did not see any help or tips/ pop ups. I'd love to get my money back. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — A lot of hype. *2021-04-06, version 4.5.2* I needed a program today, so I purchased this instead of downloading a free limited program. I opened the program and it is all grayed out and II can’t see any titles. The project screen is white but it won’t accept the dates and the calendar doesn’t work. I got on here and wrote to app support and they said that they would get back in a few days. I feel totally ripped off. I’ll never buy another app that doesn’t have a free trial period. ### 1/5 — Wasted six bucks. *2017-07-29, version 4.2.0* Wasted six bucks. ### 1/5 — Not Easy to Use *2017-03-01, version 4.2.0* Not impressed by this app. I'd like my money back. ### 1/5 — Cumbersome, not friendly, and Gantt charts doesn't show color *2016-05-07, version 4.1.1* This app is cumbersome, not friend, and Gantt charts doesn't show colors at all on my iPad Pro. ### 1/5 — I love this app, BUT there are too many bugs *2015-12-31, version 4.0.2* The App is great, unfortunately moving tasks up or down the list is virtually impossible... Tasks jump to random positions and links become a mess since the re-associate at random... It is now 2am in the morning and I cant get my project planning done... EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING !!!!! ### 1/5 — ??? *2015-12-14, version 4.0.1* No help File when I click on Help, and not easy to navigate. ### 1/5 — Extremely Buggy *2015-10-13, version 2.6.0* This app is extremely buggy. It constantly crashes or locks up. After you have added numerous tasks you can no longer move them around with the user interface going buggy and tasks get moved all over the place making your project a total mess. There is no Undo or Redo button if you do make a mistake. It's a mess. Money back please?? ### 1/5 — Clunky and Funky *2015-05-09, version 2.5.1* Seems stabile enough but task relationships are "predecessor only." Very restrictive Gant calendar view on iPad. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS APP! ### 1/5 — Buggy *2015-01-05, version 2.5.0* This app crashes too often to be useful. ### 1/5 — Not ready for prime time *2014-12-27, version 2.5.0* Repeatedly quits expectedly. The linking feature does not behave in an intuitive fashion. After giving up on this I downloaded QuickPlan, which works well. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Incredible app *2016-03-27, version 4.1.0* Not a subset of project management software but as powerful an app as we've seen in this realm. Keep it up!!! ### 5/5 — Great App for productivity *2014-08-23, version 2.3.0* This is a very flexible and easy to use app. The functions meets my requirement. ### 5/5 — Good App! *2012-08-07, version 1.5.1* I was thinking in an iPad App similar to Microsoft Project to keep tracking on projects but in an easy way. Even Microsoft Project is very comprehensive tool regarding Project Management, this particular App satisfy the basics of Project Management, is very easy to use and one can have full visibility and control of the schedule, advances of overall activities, etc. Moreover, the Gantt chart can be exported for edition outside the iPad if needed, resource allocations can be made and it can be viewed the load across the Project's duration even labor costs can be entered (but not yet automatically calculated in activities), very handy and when it comes to present advances or an snapshot of the overall Project's execution as the whole Gantt chart can be exported and shared via email in PDF format. I want to highlight this App shows according to the schedule defined the respective active task and its advance in a quick summary. I recommend it. ### 5/5 — Good for designer *2011-03-15, version 1.2.3* This application doesn't have sophisticated GUI, but it's very useful for me. In particular, I appreciate easy sharing projects with my PC and PDF reports. For developer: please add budgeting ability :) ### 5/5 — Bugs in program, decent project organizer *2010-10-01* Bugs in program where it dumps out after deleting a task or starting a new project. Please fix this bug for the ipad version. It is not affecting the iPhone version. If you like the Gantt chart, this is a good program for you to use. ### 5/5 — Good app *2010-08-31, version 0* Project Planner is one of the best apps I've downloaded. Very easy to use. To developer: please add the option to enter end date instead of duration. ### 5/5 — Fantastic app *2010-08-20* I'm also using Project Planner on iPhone. It's wonderful that I can share my projects not only with computer but also with my iPhone. ### 4/5 — good app *2019-09-24, version 4.5.1* straightforward and easy to use app ideal for out and about programming would be 5* if you could stretch the task bars without having to input sprecific dates directly on the chart and included a start/finish summary next to each task only issue is it wont export as a month summary even though selected in settings ### 4/5 — Decent, needs sub tasks and csv / ms project outputs *2018-09-26, version 4.5.0* Seems like the cleanest gannt chart maker out there unfortunately the only usable output for me is the image file. Needs sub task option Needs Microsoft project output or compatible csv output Other than that very happy with it for sketching out a project. Needs a PC software to take its output preferably straight to ms project. ### 4/5 — What Happen *2014-09-20, version 2.4.0* This was ga great app until the recent update Now you can not have the date change It defaults to April 2013 and the calander is missing most of the day of the month. If you try to set the date to say September 28 it will change to like June 2013 Please fix --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
