Microsoft Planner Customer Service

Seriously, this app is everything I could need in my life right now. I'm pretty old fashioned and like to write most of my events and tasks down in a physical planner, but I have learned I also need that info on the go as I have become a busy adult. I’ve searched for different apps to assist with my organization, but none have done it quite so well as this one. Working on my PhD coursework, research, advisor tasks, plus new-mom duties to take care of my 6 month old, and building a business... this app helps me keep my head together. I need this app to stay around forever, so please don’t disappear or phase out!! When I tell others (everyone, basically) about why I love this app, my description boils down to “lists, on lists, on lists” which is perfect for an organizer like myself!! I never thought I would be over the moon anything by Microsoft but this app pleasantly surprised me. Keep doing your thing, y’all!!

This app is extremely useful for organizing ones to do list and having the ability to prioritize each item - setting a due date - seeing where one is at with individual items and you can group them into different buckets so if you have your Basic Miscellaneous group to do list - or if you have a Shopping group to do list - you can then organize these lists effectively- for example there may be particular stores that you are going to be going to whether it’s for groceries or possibly Walmart and individually within those ‘to do’ tasks you can list the different items you need to pick up via a checklist and add to them immediately. It’s so useful for staying on top of things.

I have used this software for about six months now. Although the application has collaboration functionality, for my single-member LLC, all that I need is to keep track of a set of tasks, describe them, estimate the time to complete them, create a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS), assign a date and time (with the help of Calendar) to complete each time, which shows on my schedule as 'Busy' - which is exactly what I want, then finally record the actual time the task took. There are a few features that I would like it to have, like automatic integration with my Calendar product on iOS. But, except for a few features that I would love it to have, the software application is a great solution for my task needs.

I really like this app. It's the right blend of simplicity and power. Feels a lot like how I tried to make Wunderlist work for business years ago but it never really did. This feels cleaner and less friction overall than Trello. Keep up the great work. I don't use Teams though. I'd love to get this hooked up to Slack. One thing I'd change: after clicking into a task from the 'My Tasks' section, the name of the Plan is in the upper left, next to the Bucket Name. Clicking the Plan name should take me to the Plan, not to change the bucket, like makes sense would happen when you click on the bucket name. I can't seem to get back to the Plan unless I go to the Planner Hub. Just a few extra clicks that mightn't be needed...

Love the fact that Planner integrates with To Do, and that To Do also pulls in tasks from Outlook. What I wish it had was a way to directly promote Outlook emails to Planner to save on some of the typing. The search function of the web app is frustrating to use. Also ways to sort all tasks within Planner would be nice, though To D does an OK job of this. Still, it’s the best tool I’ve found so far for integrating the GTD (Getting Things Done - David Allen) methodology with my work tasks. The phone app is a plus since I can capture ideas/tasks directly without having to email myself, and then convert to Planner.

Began creating a group for the Small Business I work with. I find that being able to communicate as a team as well as view, create and assign task is very helpful for a business. This in turn also provides a sense of organization as well as good workmanship. The only thing that would be great is to have this available as a desktop app and not just available on webpage. It just makes things more convenient and less like to lose you place if the internet or web browser crashes. Other than that, this is a great addition and has plenty of potential. Thank you.

I used to use Ms Project in PC but there is no App for phone which limits me. Instead i started using it and i great so far. I will like to see better integration to One Note, like habing the ability to have a section in task to be a page in one note to gain max flexibility when defining tasks. I also would like to see better integration with Power Automate, so that it can create probably in SharePoint for example, or create items, and Sharpoint lists when I create a project or new plan. As well as better connectors to OneNote in Power Automate, so that I can create a page and add a title to it.

Through the years I have used many different pieces of software and tried to develop many different practices, to schedule my life both at work and at home. Planner is simple quick and efficient. I would like to see a little bit more customization allowed, so that it works a little bit more streamlined. There is a large crevasse between Microsoft planner and Microsoft project finding something close to the middle would be optimal for the users of Microsoft. But I was trying to run with the premise do not let perfection get in the way of progress - CLewis

I’m a heavy Planner user. I began getting the error in the title of this review months ago whenever I add or edit an existing item. I’ve tried reinstalling, different phones, no clue as to what the issue could be. “Please try again in a few minutes,” the error concludes. I’ve tried using the app at random times throughout. Would give this 4 stars if it worked for me. As is, hard to recommend to others without a resolution.

This app has changed how I work my job. This app has allowed me to better structure the many tasks that I need to do, prioritize them, and create a game plan to tackle them, as well as helps me remember my top priority. It’s very convenient to use this app on the go. While I am out and about, I can simply utilize the app, insert a task, update a task or edit my board and move on about my day. I am even sharing this with my coworkers and getting them onboard as well!

Our company has been using planner for core operational PM and task related events. It is flexible, intuitive and clean. Flows work great to tie to other apps within MS world and outside. MS must invest in the enhancement of Planner to take it to the next level: + create more pre-established Flows + simple integration with email/calendar and perhaps Tasks or ToDo (this would increase adoption enormously....too many competitive tools with email support) + company internal branding, simple images for plans...add a little sizzle to make more main stream + drag and drop, drag and drop, etc If MS wants companies to stay within the MS umbrella for certain apps, then make them work together. The MS apps are great, may not have all the F&F of competition, though the MS apps serve a greater purpose: not all companies need robust PP, CRMs, etc. The core MS apps nicely fill so many gaps needed, without the time and $ burn.

Great for team project management for those of us who do not need Gantt charts or time tracking. The ONLY thing still missing that would raise it to 5 stars is to implement the *recurring task* Planner feature that now exists in the MS365 web app. At least the new recurring Planner task is created when I complete a recurring task in the iPad Planner app; however, I can *neither see nor edit task recurrence* within the iOS app. While I do not find this feature on the Roadmap, I do hope MS is working on this most valuable feature!!

I have found this to be a very useful app. It can get cluttered with a lot of projects and cards but it’s a whole lot more manageable than keeping the information in different places. The ability to link to Files and other documents makes it even better. The alternatives to this are clickup which costs about $10/ month, Smartsuite for $7/month

This is a phenomenal application! Being an IT professional and an entrepreneur allows the teams I work with to efficiently work through project tasks efficiently. The only reason I didn’t give 5⭐️’s is because the application doesn’t support personal Microsoft accounts. My personal email address I’ve had for years and used during the start up phases of my business ventures, however I’m unable to collaborate with team members unless we all have school/business Microsoft accounts.

I do not recommend is planner but having issues logging in to Microsoft planner and I cannot get in for personal use at all I Microsoft and they never replied so comparing with Google calendar is much better than Microsoft but I like Microsoft I’m sure everyone uses it but the updated teams is annoying. Apparently I was wondering if you guys can make everything better regardless, Jason Parham.

Overall the app is more responsive than the desktop app integration with Teams. If there is a search feature I haven’t found it on the mobile app. It makes it challenging to search through 100s of cards. I also wish you could edit your own comment because a few times I hit send too soon or saw mistakes after sending. Only other thing is I wish there was a toggle for the search feature to look through the comments.

It’s a nice app but I can’t delete any of the plans that I’ve made on mobile. There’s no option to do so on mobile even after clicking “Plan Settings” you’re only given the option to edit it. There’s also a lack of features in this app. I can’t move the plans above or under where it appears so that they can be in accordance with my schedule. You also can’t choose what colors they display on the planner hub.

I've been using Wunderlist for years now, and it's a nice app but it's not what one would call "business class," Microsoft Planner however is wonderful! It's polished, powerful, simple, a true joy to use. My only gripe is, this isn't available for everyone with a standard Live account. I think I speak for the majority of people when I say I would gladly pay for the privilege to use this app as a standalone product. It's THAT good!

I've looked at MC Planner and it looks good, but when I download it, it says I need to use a work / school email. I was really disappointed because I really wanted to use this but it doesn't work. I'm giving it a 5 start so that I don't discourage others, but can you please change it to make it a personal planner using a personal email? Thank you!

This could be must better if the data was stored locally and migrated to backend. Being in a building with weak cell signal or not connected makes this useless. With apple reminders holding about the same amount of features also being available without connection makes reminders a much more suitable option for my use.

Have been researching lots of task-organization software. The more I looked and tried apps, the more I felt like Goldilocks. Being a Microsoft user, I am surprised I missed Planner. It is “Just Right”! Our first project got rave reviews from our team. Very intuitive and genius organization. We hit the ground running within 24 hours of building our first plan.

My team uses Planner for our weekly goals meetings. We review assignments and assign task with ease. Export features allow us to provide KPI (key performance indicators) w/senior management and end users. If you are not using Planner to plan and want to increase your team’s output, I strongly recommend that you trial the program. You’ll love it!

Very close to perfect but why can’t I edit notes, checklists directly after opening a task card? Why do we have to open a redundant drop-down list that is smaller and less efficient than making edits on the card directly? Other than that this works great and is exactly what you need to manage projects.

Recent updates have been excellent. Staying in one place (Microsoft) with all of our software just makes total sense now with Teams, Outlook and Planner (not to mention SharePoint and Power BI). This has been really good for our small business. Makes us feel like legit elite software for the big guys is finally accessible to all.

There needs to be an option where you can assign view only option for added members. Relying on others to accurately update may not always be useful to track progress as there is not necessarily and associated double check on task execution. With view only there would need to be updates to the project leader/ debriefs

Ça faisait longtemps que je cherchais une application pour faire mes « To-Do-List » et mes autres listes (épiceries ou trucs à acheter par exemple). J’ai trouvé finalement trouvé l’application qui m’a fait abandonné mes milliards de listes papier 😃

**Avis : Fonctionnalité de copie des tâches dans Planner** En tant qu'utilisateur régulier de l'application Planner, je tiens à exprimer mon souhait de voir implémentée une fonctionnalité de copie des tâches. Actuellement, la gestion de tâches récurrentes ou similaires peut s'avérer laborieuse et chronophage, et l'ajout de cette fonctionnalité pourrait considérablement améliorer l'efficacité et la productivité des utilisateurs. ### Raisons pour lesquelles cette fonctionnalité est essentielle : 1. **Gain de Temps :** Pouvoir copier une tâche avec ses sous-tâches, deadlines, et assignations permettrait de réduire le temps passé à créer des tâches récurrentes ou similaires. En un clic, les utilisateurs pourraient dupliquer une tâche au lieu de la recréer de zéro. 2. **Consistance :** La duplication de tâches garantit que toutes les informations cruciales sont transférées sans erreur, maintenant ainsi une consistance dans le contenu des tâches. Cela est particulièrement utile pour les projets de grande envergure où chaque détail compte. 3. **Facilité d'Utilisation :** L'ajout d'une option "Copier" rend l'application plus conviviale et intuitive. Cela permettrait aux utilisateurs, qu'ils soient novices ou expérimentés, de naviguer plus facilement dans l'application et de gérer leurs projets plus efficacement. 4. **Efficient Collaboration :** Dans des environnements collaboratifs, la capacité de copier des tâches peut améliorer la répartition du travail. Les gestionnaires de projet peuvent rapidement dupliquer les tâches pour différents membres de l'équipe, facilitant ainsi la délégation et le suivi des tâches. 5. **Adaptabilité aux Besoins Complexes :** Certains projets nécessitent des tâches multiples avec des structures similaires. La possibilité de copier une tâche permettrait une grande flexibilité pour adapter les plans aux besoins spécifiques de divers projets sans perdre de temps précieux. ### Conclusion L'intégration d'une fonctionnalité permettant de copier les tâches dans Planner serait un ajout bienvenu qui bénéficierait à tous les utilisateurs. Cela améliorerait non seulement l'expérience utilisateur, mais aussi l'efficacité opérationnelle et la productivité générale. J'espère vivement que cette fonctionnalité sera prise en considération pour les futures mises à jour de l'application. Merci !

J’aimerais pouvoir imprimer les tâches complétées individuellement dans un format pdf et lisible , que je peux archiver en référence dans un CRM ou autre . Actuellement , il ne semble seulement possible d’exporter un Plan complet avec toutes ses tâches et non une tâche individuelle

I started using this on my desktop and it is nice for the monthly and weekly views and planning out my life. I am a little disappointed I cant colour my tasks different. And the mobile app doesn’t allow me to look at the weekly or monthly view, so I can only look at the buckets which doesn’t help. So desktop it works great and is convenient. Mobile has very little function for me. I can’t check my calendar from home. Which is a basic of what I would like to see.

Ok

There are many small issues, like the ability to upload more than one attachment at a time etc. but I couldn’t do my job half as effectively without this app. Highly recommend.

Great app ! Love it 🥰

This is test please ignore

Planner is very useful. However, I cannot set reoccurring tasks for routine tasks. It would be really good if it is addressed.

I’ve been using Planner for several years to manage assignments within my engineering department. It’s a great communication tool with good features. I like the fact that it provides a comment log and checklist so that projects can be handed off to other engineers or teams. I also like the mobility when using the app. I use it at weekly one-on-one reviews to discuss progress and prioritize. However, any member of the group can change or even delete a task. There is no security so that the owner of the task has control. Furthermore, once a task or bucket is deleted, that’s it! Sayonara baby. It’s gone forever. No undo. No warning the owner or even the deleter that it will be lost permanently. My IT department backs up OneDrive files, but no way to backup Planner. I lost two years’ worth of project info this way. It’s like losing your house to a fire after the Insurance company handed out torches to your guests and then after the fire they tell you “oh that’s too bad. We’re sorry that happened. “

Overall this is a pretty good app and a pretty good task planning tool. As a primarily business user, outlook has been home base for long time and it is intuitive. I get that different users like different UIs. But for me I wish that Planner and Teams (and other Office 365 apps) were seamlessly integrated with Outlook. Calendar is integrated with the Outlook iPhone app but why not Planner and Teams? All of these systems seem like they want to connect with each other seamlessly but then they don’t and you end up stuck in silos. The breakthrough for the Office 365 suite will be when MS makes the dynamic work platform of Office available in a unified user interface. For me that ideal interface would be Outlook with all others hanging therefrom. Outlook email groups, Teams channels, Planner threads all tend to get siloed from each other (there is a wonky method for connecting some of these but it is not easy and doesn’t work fully). Yet these are essentially the same workflow data, just with different UI interaction points.

I’m converting my department to planner and it’s a good tool but could use several improvements such as: 1) needs ability to designate certain users for view only - ability to view information in task and charts 2) unable to sort buckets in alpha/numerical order 3) security of tasks - very easy for mistake to occur eg another user accidentally selecting task as completed. Recommend that person assigned task can only edit/complete 4) when there are multiple buckets, it would greatly help when a filter is applied to hide the other buckets that are not applicable 5) needs a undo button 6) back up data without losing information. As a work around, I have been downloading it into excel, but the excel download is not as organized as I hoped for. For example if a task has multiple checklist items, it is not in the same order as originally listed - imagine with 20 checklist items 7) Microsoft power automate - needs more triggers such as person deleting a bucket, changing label. Also needs ability to copy task 8) less functions are available when using a tablet (iPad) and cellphone (iPhone). For example, deleting task/bucket not available; if there are multiple buckets, unable to use charts to view, whereas the computer version allows you to flip to next page. 9) after the organizer creates a plan, then shares it. Deleting the plan is no longer as easy with a simple button.

…tasks in To Do could be moved to buckets in Planner. Currently, there are round about ways of doing it but you can’t copy a whole checklist from To Do to Planner. If you are like me and use Teams and Outlook for communication, collaboration, and task management, then the Microsoft 365 suite should seamlessly work together. They don’t. I like being able to flag an email as a task for myself, but unless you share your To Do list with others on your team, you can’t assign it to anyone or put it in the shared planner. Also, the one thing I need out of Planner is a dependency Gantt chart, but that is only available if you upgrade to Project (soon to be just Planner - Still no clarification as to getting Gantt with that). Why pay for Microsoft 365 if you have to pay extra for things that Apple gives freely.

I'm very impressed that Planner is so clean and easy to use, yet fairly powerful and integrated with a lot of other O365 apps. This app has some of the highest potential of any Microsoft apps that I have used, especially when considering the potential of pairing with other new/refreshed apps (Teams, Outlook mobile, etc.). However, there are some really crucial misses that needed to be included right from the start. Without these, I cannot use this app as my task manager. 1) Inability to add plans from multiple accounts. MSFT, one of your main value props is the ability to be productive at work or at home, no matter where you are. But if I can't add plans from my two work accounts and my personal account, then I need more than one app to manage all my tasks, and that makes Planner obsolete. 2) Recurring tasks. No brainer, needs no explanation. 3) No ability to add time to due dates. Many tasks gave actual due times, not just due dates. 4) No control over notifications. Control over the types and triggers of notifications is a bare minimum setting that virtually every single app offers. Planner has two check boxes that don't even cover half of the features that trigger notifications, nor does it allow you to choose between push and email notifications. Some additional features that would seal the deal of making Planner the best: 1) Natural language recognition (like Todoist) 2) Integration with Siri or Cortana 3) Better/more intuitive/more satisfying way of marking tasks "complete" or changing the status of a task. Make it obvious, tap-able or slide-able, satisfying and conveying a sense of accomplishment. You're so close, Planner team....keep up the good work!

I very much like how good Planner is at keeping tasks assigned to different team members and especially how it interfaces with Outlook’s calendar - this was very critical for me, so I could not only set deadlines for me and my team, but also plan the workload. A couple of things that I wish it did better: (1) It would be great to be able to archive buckets that are no longer relevant (the only option not to see them any more is to delete them, but that deletes all the information included). (2) It would be great to be able to set a general deadline for the bucket and include notes at the bucket level too. (3) The IPad App does not allow to move buckets around (you can only do it in the web-based version). (4) The IPad app does not allow the user to view projects in a “schedule” view.

The biggest problem is not being able to update multiple items together. I'd like to select all and apply the same value. Also, filter is an OR.. not an AND. Meaning, I can't filter by multiple buckets at the same time. It's only one or the other. Also, when in the desktop I can't export nor import. So it's alot of manual effort to set up. Also no ability to include dependencies Otherwise you can sort by different methods. The chart and visual aspects are useful. Assignment is cool too. I like the flags. Checklist is a nice feature to keep track of subtasks. With the buckets, I was able to build a Kanban board for a scrum project!! This also likes well to other areas of Microsoft like SharePoint

I love Microsoft Products. I have a Surface Laptop, 365, OneNote, Edge, Outlook etc. I know this is a well done Planner however I am really not happy that you have to have a work or school account to have it? Regular folks need a planner as well and it would be great to be able to add this to the other Microsoft things I use. Since I don’t have a work or school account I can’t use this so my suggestion is to please make a planner for regular users. If you have features specifically for work or school then let people buy a pack that will include the features they need. Appreciate all Microsoft does. Hoping this suggestion is heard and will be implemented in some way.

Updated to the latest version today. Up until this point the app worked flawlessly for what it does, albeit minimalistic I do appreciate having a dashboard for all my ongoing projects in once place. Today, after updating, every time I go to add, modify, or delete a task I keep getting an error “you either no longer have access to this item, it has been deleted, or you have exceeded a service limit.” Right now I have one Plan set up, with 204 of 285 Tasks completed. I tried deleting old tasks to free up memory but still get the same error and the app totally geeks out. This version is broken for iOS and iPadOS as I’ve attempted both.

I use the web version of Microsoft Planner for work and productivity and I absolutely love it….on my laptop. The iPad app is a whole different story. The app is slow, unresponsive, looks and functions differently, and is very slow and clunky. It seems like this app could be polished and overhauled, especially since it gets frequent updates. Just some examples: I go to my planner and it will take a significant amount of time to load my tasks and buckets. After I type a task, it takes up to 30 seconds sometimes to populate. Also I can’t drag and drop things into different buckets. TL;dr - Website so good; app so bad.

I love this app, and it offers some great functionality (especially with the ability to link to work plans inside Teams). However, it has been almost useless for about 3 weeks now due to an error that won’t go away. When I update a task with a new item, I keep getting an error saying “planner traffic is unusually high right now”, and it then won’t save any of my updates (others in my group aren’t getting the same error). A bit frustrating, and it has rendered the app almost useless for my primary use with my work team... look forward to this bug being fixed.

I LOVE organization for my personal use. My school doesn’t use Microsoft, but it has helped me over time. I do not have a office account with Microsoft yet, but I decided to try Microsoft Planner, and it didn’t let me in because I had a personal account and when I tried to create an work account, it automatically set the account I created to personal. So I don’t know if I can create a work account or a school one, please correct me if I am wrong, but I think that Microsoft planner would be better if accessible to younger students like me. Please let personal accounts into Microsoft planner

Why on earth would you take this away from paying customers? This was rolled out for everyone paying Office 365, and it was decent and still a little rough around the edges, but then they just take it away from Personal Office 365? How are we supposed to get our data back? Also, I can think of many reasons why individuals would want to use this, but then you just make it inaccessible to lots of people (people who pay for Office 365 mind you). Very disappointed that MS would get people’s hopes up by letting them use the app in it’s infancy and the turn around and wall it off. Classic bait and switch.

Planner is a well executed Trello-like kanban board. Unfortunately you must have an enterprise Office 365 account to use it and then you can’t collaborate with people outside your company. There is also no way to print a board or list. Sharing within your single company is better executed than in Microsoft To Do. With planner, you select the members that can be added and deleted. To Do uses lame sharing like OneDrive that is link based. Wunderlist list solved the sharing problem many years ago. With Wunderlist you can share to any email but the add/remove process works like the membership in Planner.

Could be useful but some of the functionality is lacking: 1) tasks are not automatically placed in due-date order but instead in order of entry, so a task with a Sept 1 deadline might be listed before a task with an Aug 1 deadline, unless you move it manually to the right position. Illogical. 2) Screen freezes at times when entering a new task; the “add” button doesn’t work. This happens when the icon for “buckets” appears with the calendar icon. 3) Can’t move the order of the buckets once they are created.

This app needs a lot of work. Falls behind Trello Asana, and Monday. No list view options. Cannot add sub-tasks. Cannot link tasks on other boards. Disappointing considering Microsoft resources. Also, integration with Sharepoint, OneDrive is a complete nightmare. This has a lot of potential, but It is clear that product groups are not working well together. The whole suite is bloated, unintuitive, and buggy. Not recommended, unless you are strapped for cash, and can’t invest in a better PM tool, since planner comes wrapped in a 365 subscription.

We were excited to roll out Planner at our company instead of a 3rd party system like clickup/asana/monday etc. It’s wonderful on the web version and lives within our Microsoft environment. However, we paid for the premium planner on the web. Turns on all those neat features we get on the web are not available in this app. What’s worse, this app says “go use planner on the web to use these features”, but then planner on the web says “this app is no longer supported, use the iPad app”. Friggin Microsoft cuttin corners

Don’t bother to download. The Planner on desktop within O365 and Teams works but this mobile version utterly useless. Very unstable. Once you’ve looked at Plans and Tasks, next time you open it only shows “recents” but clicking on them just refreshes the page. You can no longer actually open them. You can add to your favorites but then you still can’t see your favorites. Totally broken useless app. Again the desktop version works fine albeit convoluted approaches. But this iPhone app is a mess. Iphone 11Pro with all iodates (incl 13.5) so it’s not a glitch with ios. Just a really bad app.

As a stand-alone app, it works for very simplified task-oriented project management. I wish it had more color labels instead of being limited. Regardless, it works good enough. I’m mostly disappointed in the way it is difficult to work with from inside MS Teams. Mainly, it is currently impossible to build a “template” Planner to use in a repetitive process situation for other groups or Teams. That is the one thing keeping me from rating this better. Otherwise, it works good enough.

This needs to be combined and simplified with tasks, reminders, calander and whatever other apps office 365 has out there. They should all work together in a simplified way and be connected. The form, assigning, sharing, and due dates parts of planner are easy to use. The problem is that it is a separate app, online only, that you have to log into to view. Integration within Outlook, would help simplify outlook, and give you more power in Outlook to control your life.

It would be nice if Microsoft could get it together. Every time they come out with an app, it doesn’t work as intended. If you click a link to a document embedded in a task it reports error 912. This renders the app useless as it will not open docs in the OneDrive app or in OneDrive online. It works “somewhat as intended” on the IPhone: It wont open in OneDrive, but after 3 clicks on the request to open in browser, it finally will open the document. Really, Are you doing any QA testing before you release. This product should be somewhat mature and not have Mickey Mouse issues at this point. No insult intended to Mickey!

What I really want this app to do is to be a quick resource I can open on my phone. That’s not at all what it is. It takes forever to load - just to receive information. Then if I actually want to use it as my task list on the go, it’s too unreliable for the same reason. Loading and updating takes too long and you’re never clear when you’re looking at updated data.

This is a great functional alternative for Trello, free to any office 365 user, and more intuitive than Trello in many ways. Stronger integration with Outlook would seal the deal. It’s baffling that I can use an add in to create a Trello card (or attach to an existing card) directly from an outlook email, but can’t create a new planner task/card (or attach an email to an existing planner card/task). It’s also frustrating that my Outlook categories don’t automatically populate in Planner too.

A plan gets full fairly quickly and slows down very badly. It’s Hard or impossible to migrate task to a different plan. This makes delegating more difficult because it requires retyping. It would be great to be able to move a task to a different plan in the same way we can move a task to a different bucket. Maybe it’s doable already and I just don’t know how. It seems my daughter was able to do this but in my mental memory it took several steps and was not simple. Also I don’t remember if it was a complete task migration with all the notes and lists and attachments and comments etc. We want to be able to share or export an entire a task or a bucket to a person who may not be added as a user to the plan.

Really need to be able to search for cards and navigate on mobile easier. On a board with lots of cards it’s way too cumbersome to have to search through everything to find a card. Search and zooming out would be helpful for that. Also other features that would be very helpful and allow me to recommend this app as verses Trello is the ability to assign checklist task items to people and have more than 1 checklist on a card.

I am no longer a student and this is a cool program. Wish this was also for non school accounts. Would be an awesome feature to have

Trello alternative that looks like a school or intern project.

Need permission settings.

Decent app. But could do better. Especially if it was enabling widgets or Split View. Keep going!

Microsoft put very little effort into making this app. It has almost none of the functionality of the browser version. Also does not work at all with premium plans; can’t even open them to look at them.

Ug.

This app is a monument to choosing to not invest in your (expensive) products. It’s so far behind the times that it’s actually almost pointless. Anything, almost anything else on the planet works better for those who need to work on the fly.

M$ All you have to do is enable native support for the reminder app. This app could be helpful, but without a widget, it is useless.

Most important is to create reoccurring task and planner does this and so this is great as planner premium does seem to do this automatically. Disappointed that you can’t tag a colleague in a task for support on an issue or just as a heads up that you’re done so they can start their task. Very disappointing that you can’t easily add the task to your outlook calendar to block time to complete.

Really is not practical to have the old version

Handles poorly. Worst than any other microsoft app. Freezes contiously and not intuitive. If you have a company, do not use to manage tasks.

The website looks so nice. I hope you guys change the look of the app.

I have trouble with the app when I tried to switch my account on the app. Once I sign out it frozen and I can not change the user ID

Microsoft should enable planner for personal accounts and family accounts. I have a big family and a lot of children. We are all part of the Microsoft family. Unfortunately the To do app is not very user friendly for assigning tasks and check status progress. Please note enable planner for personal/family accounts.

The app has all kinds of potential, but the functionality and the iPad and the iPhone are terrible. Please update these apps so that planner is functional on an iOS device.

Worst app ever. Can’t create new plan.

Clunky would not recommend

Doesnt workwith planner plan 1

Not really a good reflect of the product

App is good just to check the end date…

Great app for task tracking, wish I could use it outside of work.

Quite enjoy the app, but would love to have the ability to see a widget version like Microsoft To-Do

As soon as you open a to do/bucket the app freeze. We have tried on multiple iPhones and multiple OS versions. Even with the update from the 31 October still crashes. Its to bad we really wanted to use Planner at work.

Serais super si les appels de service serait faites dans les temps.

Please fix this, it’s so slow and when I make a change I want it to take effect quickly. Not have some janky feeling delay. Also a way to bulk select/delete completed items would be swell I do like this app with that being said, it could just do with a tuneup.

It doesn’t work. When adding a plan it just says sorry, we couldn’t complete your request.

Without the calendar view it’s annoying to scroll through all the upcoming tasks. I would rather just use the website.

The tool is almost useless as an iOS app when it takes minutes to load the various planners that we use for our clients.

Constantly freezes, then crashes. Gui is infuriating, it never saves the task I’m entering.

C’est Vraiment très long a loader les job .

It barely works, and when it does it takes for ever. I need it to work

You can’t - Edit or delete comments - Show notes and task at the same time for the same card - You can choose a date, but not a time for a card. Really. - Use too many characters to create a task inside a card Plus, the planification center shows only 4 charts with little to none relevant info. Just download something else.

I use planner to manage tasks for my team. I like how simple it is. However it needs some key features such as @mention, allow more than just 0, 50 100 status. It would be great to have precedents so we could correlate tasks. I hope MS continues to improve it.

Just randomly deleted my entire plan with all my tasks. Was working okay before that except that actually creating tasks would glitch and not let me add them. Then told me I had exceeded my service of use. I pay for Microsoft 365 through my school so how is that possible? Will not be using anymore.

I can’t seem to get notifications on my phone! Also separating tasks in plans is terrible. Why wouldn’t you just be able to mark a plan as completed and not see it in there.

I deleted a full bucket of tasks accidentally and couldn’t undo it. Otherwise, it’s an amazing app.

Pas de notification

Would be great to “@“ people so they get the notifications.

It is a basic planning tool for a team since you can not indicate milestones, only in process. You can indicate bullet points to be completed within a task but these points can do be not charted into a Gantt chart to align team resources. It’s a basic tool as there is limited options to create workflows, follow up or get ready notifications as other members are completing their tasks on a project, but it does interface with Microsoft Teams, Outlook, ToDo and SharePoint software.

Planner won’t open on iPhone X. Tried to delete and redownload, tried to open through other applications, and nothing! Desktop version works great but I can’t collaborate with my team via mobile if it won’t even open!

The interface is so shockingly and painfully bright, compared to every other app at my comfortable brightness setting, it’s unusable.
