Project Planning Pro Reviews

by Jen_1206

I would absolutely love to give ProjectPlanningPro a shot, however I can’t even successfully get past creating an account! I’ve tried creating an account using email as well as linking a google account, both just sit at the create account view and nothing happens! I guess I’ll just delete ProjectPlanningPro and search for a different one.

I am fine with things being a little buggy but this one is a waste of time and money.

Tried demo version entered a project tried dragging tasks around. Crash, lose everything

Rebuilt my project in full. Was working decently then I discovered I couldn’t add a cost to a task. I tried clicking the live chat icon..nobody home.

Discovered you can’t edit a resource...

I purchased the product thinking this may be a limited version. Nope

Went to the website, no help. There are 10 questions in the faq the first 8 are clickable. The last 2 are not. These are the how do I get a refund questions

Figured I might find something in the blog. Went to archives, every link is broken. It took me awhile to even identify that this was a legitimate company.

Went back into my project, played around with assigning resources then thought I would try to export my project to gdrive. App hung. When I restarted it it loaded a version with half my project missing. Even though I had actively saved my project at least times since this version

This may work on other platforms but on my 2nd gen iPad Pro it was a nightmare.

Looks like I am going to Apple for a refund.

I can’t indent a task because the button that switches to Gaant Chart view blocks the button that allows me to indent the task.

To set a task to start on Saturday I first had to create a schedule with availability on Saturday. To do that I had to tap on Saturday about 100 times before the edit time frame window opened up for that day.

I’ve been screwing with ProjectPlanningPro for an hour, trying to create a simple, 7-task project and I am DONE.

It asks you to upgrade just to delete a fricken project! Well I know another way to delete a project: DELETE ProjectPlanningPro !

I click on Delete Data, and get an error message. A minute later I received an email with a link to my data (presumably the data I just attempted to delete).

They ask for your email to create an account, but I noticed they never sent a confirmation email. That means somebody else can create an account with your address (I’ve had people do that with other services).

Yeah, this one needs some work.

Wouldn't be a bad app, if it didn't make you pay for the Mac and the IOS app. If you buy one app, you should be able to work on any device without having to pay for a separate app. Also, if you copy a plan, ProjectPlanningPro should allow you to change the name of the project. I work many projects with the same tasks, and should be able to do "Save As" change the name of the project and edit dates as needed. Instead, I have to type each project plan just to change the name of the project, making ProjectPlanningPro an inefficient use of my time.

I want to like it. It has every feature I want. But it's horribly buggy, the project is corrupted so bad I can't even delete stuff to fix it, I can't copy the project to attempt to work around the bugs, and I'm definitely not going to pay to unlock the features if the demo doesn't function. Tried to find dev contact and got nothing but useless FAQs and tutorials, but no way to contact a human.

I bought this so that I could use in my iPad mini for small projects. I use Microsoft Project and was extremely excited to have an application that I could use in conjunction with Microsoft Project. When I tried to input the information into Planning Pro ProjectPlanningPro would tell me nothing was available. I was unable to import files from my files on my mail application. I should have listened to the reviews and not wasted my money. The only positive about this application is that if you are going to use this as your sole projects management tool then maybe it would be worth it. Do not expect to share your work with others.

I’ve tried to open my latest project schedule in ProjectPlanningPro all week, after emailing it to myself. I don’t have the Project Pro option when I click on the mpp file in my inbox, so I can’t even bring up my plan. Same applies for Google Drive (and why isn’t MS OneDrive and option?). The chat function also covers many text and click features in the bottom right corner. I’ve thus been unable to use ProjectPlanningPro I paid a good price for. I see there was a new release within the last month, maybe bugs???

For an iPad program, it does what it needs to do. This is best used to view already-built project plans imported from MS project. It is NOT useful for building plans from scratch - very buggy and way too many extra clicks to do things like insert tasks before other tasks, indenting, etc. Deleting lines also is a problem - I have not yet had a project that hasn’t become corrupted when I delete a line.

Potentially useful app, but I can’t see how to add/assign costs to individual tasks, so not that useful for my situation.

ProjectPlanningPro has the capability of several people access same file from different devices? Like to work on a team everybody ?

by Todmn

This is a fairly strong, easy to use, and functional app. The syncing of project data across iCloud is very helpful.

I have used Microsoft project 10 years ago to run construction projects. I try to minimize gadgets and use my iPhone7 more and more. I downloaded ProjectPlanningPro last night and was surprised how easy was to start my 1st project. I read other reviews and I have no doubt the creators of ProjectPlanningPro will assess them. ProjectPlanningPro really should sit at 3.5 to 4 stars but I give it 5 because it covers my needs and to balance some very harsh low stars left by users for ridiculous things such as when you send an email the default template includes the company's message. Like the familiar " this message was sent by my iPhone" we iPhone users have at bottom of our emails and we can delete it.
Give ProjectPlanningPro a try it's free to download and you can chose if you want to upgrade it. I will upgrade myself even though I don't need to because I only do a few projects a year but ProjectPlanningPro already helped me way more the upgrade price. Thanks!

After years of wrestling Microsoft Excel and Project, I am delighted to find ProjectPlanningPro! Easy. Intuitive. Works well with on my iPad.
Thanks!
Now back to work... I have projects to finish!

I love ProjectPlanningPro. It's better than any kind of note app. But, is there an update in future, bring reminder function? Thank you.

by Micheal H. Bobadilla

ProjectPlanningPro has all the beautiful features anyone can expect from an app; the amazing interface, easy to use navigation, the possible color and function variations are endless. It’s really an amazing app.

by AcapulcoKid

I just activated my Touch ID and made this purchase by mistake. A very expensive mistake! I would like to request the favor of a refund from your hopefully excellent customer service. Thank you.

by Viperout

I had tried some apps and it's easier to use then other app. Wish they have a version that would allow team sharing and collaborations.

by Heyma

ProjectPlanningPro is awesome! I’ve been looking for a project management app to help with the to do’s of selling a practice, and would sync between iPad and iPhone. It’s perfect and is flawless in execution. It is a cinch to learn and as a 72 yr. old grandma I was up and running in no time at all. Thank you!

by Gabyrodz27

Love how friendly most of it is. Still in my case most of my projects have basically the same tasks. So it would be nice to have a template section where I could just copy and paste a project and edit it adjusting dates and resources for another project since everything else basically stays the same.

by JoeGuru

You'll note from reading some of the other reviews that there are issues. "Quick and dirty" describes it pretty well. It gets 5 stars from me for a couple of reasons: first, the devs seem to keep updating it and trying to work through the issues that naturally limit something like this from polished perfection on the iPad. Second, it interfaces nicely with the Mac version. I use it to make edits to projects on the fly as well as do major sections from time to time.

So while it's not perfect, it's about as good as you can hope for on an iPad. Get the Mac version too and the experience will be uber primo.

Nice ap. I was used to the old platform. Great support team.
