Project Plan 365

Update: now I can't even open the project on iOS because it crashes repeatedly due to the project tasks being filtered for a single resource. This app both on windows desktop and iOS really is TERRIBLE and should be avoided at all costs. --- My experience of Project Plan 365 has been pretty terrible. I'm using it via the Windows desktop app and also iPhone iOS app. In terms of simply entering tasks, setting up dependencies and assigning resources, it's easy and straight forward, but that's where it stops. Trying to group tasks into "headings" or sub-projects is buggy as hell. Tasks end up assigned to the wrong subgroup, task durations randomly change, and tasks may *look* like they've been successfully grouped only to find when you refresh the screen they haven't been and you have to start again. Additionally, one of my resources only works 2 hours a day on the project and despite me setting up an individual calendar for them with altered hours, the app still allocates 8 hours of work to them each day and then complains they are "over allocated". I've tried everything to get the app to correctly allocate just 2 hours a day and have had to resort to manual allocation as none of the auto allocations seem to honour the reduced hours. On the iOS app, it's impossible to read the calendar view because it's too small and you can't zoom in or change the number of days shown, making it entirely useless. Also frustrating there is no easy way to see on the app the tasks assigned to a particular resource on a particular day (on the desktop the calendar view works well for this, but on iOS it's unreadable). Thank god I've only got this app on a free trial. No way in hell I'd pay money for something as buggy as this.

Very misleading app. You can’t save anything unless you subscribe. Waste of a download

As someone in a commercial role who only needs to read and print project files, I find this app invaluable. It seems reasonable to charge for full commercial use of the planning tool to me, but it is irritating that others charge for even this basic function.

I’m a contractor PM and use my Mac and iPad whilst working with clients who are windows based. This is the nearest thing to MS Project itself that I have found. I have tried lots of other apps and web-based project management tools but none of them really cut it in the way that this does. Well worth it if you need to work with MPP files but an excellent tool even if you don’t need that functionality.

I am a full time freelance project manager, juggling multiple projects. I have tried various project management apps over the years that would work seamlessly between my Mac and IOS devices. Many of them are either too complicated or way too expensive. Project Plan 365 is very reasonably priced when compared to the competition, straight forward to use and stable across all my devices. I am able to exchange project plans with MS Project users with no issues and love the straight forward export to PDF functionality. The few queries I have had, were answered very quickly, even on weekends! Highly recommended!

The free download is pointless; the app is locked to not allow you to create a project plan, nor to edit and save an existing one, until you pay a huge subscription fee (that would be on top of any existing MS 365 plan you already are paying for). If it isn’t free to use, it should call out the subscription fee or there should be a separate viewer app (which they appear to also have on App Store anyway).

Microsoft invented 365 magic number to put on them product. You advertise on your app as Project Plan 365 subscription which like relevant to Microsoft Office 365 and it price is similar.

Installed and quickly removed. The app is slow and unresponsive, even running on an iPad Air 2

This looks to have a lot of potential. But. Far too unresponsive, it takes 15-20 seconds to open a new project (64gb iPad mini). No UK date formats? Over 30 seconds to save a single task to Dropbox. Nice, but uninstalled until it's rewritten as a native app rather than a slow webapp.

The price is not an issue, I have purchased them.. but when I want to use them in my MacBookPro… the notification of “YOUR FREE TRIAL IS OVER” keeps annoying.. is this a scam????
