ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Digital Planner for iPad holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Planner for iPad has 2.1K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of Task and Project Center's written reviews are positive against 44% of Digital Planner for iPad's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Task and Project Center ships an update every 5 weeks, Digital Planner for iPad every 6 days. Both last shipped on September 26, 2026.
