OmniPlan 4

The Outlining functionality is welcome but currently barely works. There has to be a simpler way to indent/outdent/drag and drop tasks to build a hierarchy than that dragging that never indicated on which level and where a task will be dropped. In view of this , why is it not at least possible to move tasks selected via the “select” button (“move” is greyed out/ inactive), while this works perfectly in the gantt view? Also please remove the silly distracting animations - why does a subtask jump from the bottom up to its parent task across the whole screen height upon expanding that parent task?

Its easy to use and is very helpful for me

Virtually impossible to export your plan to a PDF file. Whoever developed this was not thinking.

After the update a couple of weeks ago, it cannot be printed or saved to pdf because inconsistent characters are coming out. The letters and words are reversed. It already has quite a few shortcomings and now this!

The free trial worked for me, I was able to create new projects and there were no limitations. It does have a bit of a learning curve but so does OmniFocus. If you like OmniFocus, like me, then you’ll probably like OmniPlan. The monthly subscription is totally worth it 👍

On latest iPad Pro 12.9” with latest ipad OS 14.6. It is just so difficult to do things with this. Want to simply add a task? Good luck. Want to simply indent a task to make it a child of a parent task (aka indent it so task above it becomes a group top and the task itself is a member), good luck. It just should not be this hard. I registered for trial so I’d hoped to get more use out of it as evaluation. Maybe unless you pay a hundred bucks or 20 monthly, all these user interface problems disappear? Dunno. Don’t care to find out. Off the shelf, this is a cryptic, difficult to use app that takes legacy MS Project, CA Turbo Project, ConceptDraw Project, and other such industry standard user interfaces and ignores all those decades of lessons learned. It’s as though programmers were told go do whatever you want, don’t even think about usability nor what industry likes to do with other tools this one is supposed to compete with. Go ahead and make it something only you the author of the code can figure out how to use. That’s how I feel this app was pulled together. If you want to find a PM app to get things done on your iPad Pro, look elsewhere. This app will drive you madd.

I need a project planning tool, This looks like a great one. I would like to try using it during the “free trial”, but I can’t. The two week free trial is in “read only” mode, where I can’t make a project to try it out. Yes, I could sign up for the monthly subscription- but I’m not going to, (1) now I have to remember to cancel it if I don’t like this app, and (2) I feel lied to. The product description didn’t say anything about a read-only trial, it’s only in the app. And to me, that is disingenuous & I cannot support that
