QuickPlan, Project Gantt Chart Positive Reviews

Become the masterNever done this before. But everyone thinks I am the master project planner. This is what technology is all about. I am now empowered with a new skill it probably took hours and hours of training and practice to master in personal computer era and months and months before that. With my project plan to redo a front entrance and lobby to an upscale senior living community I can now take the long view, but also if anything gets sticky I can dive right to the friction point and micromanage the problem until it screams. I have all the subs on board and all clearly see how their tasks link and make other tasks possible. The residents are deeply affected during this construction, and seeing each step laid out in time and linked makes them fully informed and if delays occur it will be a snap to update the chart and keep them current as to the cause of delay. It’s good to be the king. BTW I am 64, so old dogs can learn new tricks..Jeb_BlueVersion: 8.2

Made by a ProfessionalHere’s the thing, the author understand project management. The app is developed by someone who knows what it’s like to create a Gantt Chart or to move around bars before sequence and dependencies were certain. This is the only tool that I know of that can arrange bars in the gantt by dragging it. Other apps you have to type in a date and duration. Part of the use for such an app is to figure out the arrangements and relationship, which means the planning moves from uncertainty to concrete logistics. This app understands the process of planning. Yes the curved dependency lines are ugly. But it clearly indicates dependent relations better than the straight lines. The creator of this app have read the PMBOK. Have had first-person experience of project management on an industry standard level. This is what other apps are lacking. I have tried many of them over the years. And am often surprised how lack of knowledge the developers are towards the field. They might make beautiful interfaces, but the usage is awkward. This app does not have the prettiest interface, but is pleasant enough. The usability is better than any PM tools made, including Microsoft Project which is very powerful, but not as intuitive. Praises to the developer and hope more to come..Daniel_ZXVersion: 8.3

Darn near perfect!As with many folks I don't often script reviews but I'm drafting this just 3-days post total knee replacement. As a stand-alone App I think QPP is thet good. Additionally, QPP fits quite nicely with most all of my non-professionally based projects and integrates just as well with my professionally based projects. The integration with other Project and GTD Apps as well as email is certainly an appreciated feature. And' the 'sub-project' feature was well thought-out. Since your team has raised the bar of QPP this far, go-forward enhancements I hope the development team will also consider are: 1. A breakout TimeLine for Milestone or Other Summary (IES) or a Project Summary Level Road-Map View, if you will. 2. The ability to move a Task/Milestone under an indented project structured without the given having to be indented first. 3. Aside from being 'Project' guy I'm also a Mind-Mapper and a creature who likes features! My last recommendation is a big-stretch without a doubt, I know but here it goes. As not all projects are waterfall by nature, provide an option to build the Project Plan or WBS via a mind-mapping-like front end and provide an option for some portion of a project's functionality to include project methods that are iterative or short structured-runs. It seems like this would further broaden your appeal to those who engage in a wide-range of project management methodologies. Bill56.PrjMan56Version: 9.0

Critical shortfalls - not a serious toolApp looks good and the user interface works well. Unfortunately the scheduling logic is sorely lacking some basic features for a project management tool. First, while the app allows you to assign resources to a task, it doesn’t prevent you from having multiple simultaneous tasks all using the same resource. App provides no indication that there’s a conflict, and no way to auto-schedule activities to remove the conflict. Second, the app does not respect task dependencies. If you create a two tasks and make one a predecessor of the other then the app won’t properly enforce start-before-finish when start or duration changes, and won’t remove float if predecessor duration shortens or task finishes early. Critical path calculations become meaningless. Third, app assumes that you have a known start and want to compute the finish. No provision to specify end and compute latest start date. No way to set tasks to start as early as possible vs. start as late as possible. Finally, metrics and project stats are really lacking. No float computation or reporting. Poor resource usage metrics. It’s okay if you are satisfied with manually managing task dependencies and resource conflicts. But don’t expect the app to create an optimal (or even feasible) project schedule for you, or to report when your handcrafted schedule is unworkable..JspragVersion: 13.3

Very useful planning tool. Excellent softwareLooking for a userfriendly and easy to handle tool, I found Quick Plan. After working with for my first construction project I can conclude, that this is an excellent tool to plan and control a project. Handling it on an iPad is maybe the best adoption of a program from a desktop to tablet. It is very intuitive and fits to my needs. Printout via PDF is also very practice oriented. Integration with contacts is also a very good idea. I am using the iPhone App as well and also the Mac version. So thanks to iCloud integration it can be handled with all three devices. Sharing with collaborators works fine too, respecting the caveats not using the project at the same time. Reaction of the software people is amazing fast and competent. And they are open for any suggestion which makes sense to them. I tested and worked with planning software for a long time, this is probably the best concept of user friendliness and ease of usage I ever used. Sorry if this sounds too positive. But it has to be said. I recommended it to several of my friends and the architects who were always reluctant to such a tool, are very interested and starting to get into too..NigbodeVersion: 11.1

Ok for high-level/quick planningThe app provides pretty good functionality for high-level “quick planning” that can be exported to different formats. What could be better is are the options for customizing exports (to export exactly the columns you want in the order that you want them), there are no custom fields to capture data you may need for grouping or filtering and you can’t change the sequence of the columns, and the URL fields that are provided don’t support call-back links so you can’t link to content in other apps on your iPad (for example to an EverNote note or a NotePlan note, etc.). Last, you can’t hide the gantt view - so there is no option to just work in a tabular format. I can see the app being used for initial planning but I could not see myself effectively running a complex project given the functionality limitations..PCB ReviewsVersion: 16.1

Great program!I bought this program on my iPad several years ago. I work full time, and give violin lessons in the evenings. I have two community orchestras, one adult and one youth, that I direct. I am a member of a band that plays gigs on mostly weekend evenings. I am also involved in my church. Needless to say, I am very busy. At the time I bought it, I I did not have enough time to really sit down and learn QuickPlan in a way that would really help me. It was placed on the back burner. A few weeks ago, I came across the icon on my iPad again and decided to take the time to learn how to use its features. I’m still learning some best practices for ME, but I have to say I am obsessed! Thank you for a great productivity tool!.Mrs. McPeaVersion: 17.2

Best project app period.Finally a project management app, that you can actually use. I was trying many other apps. My attempts was often cut short due to overly complicated steps to create a simple project, let alone to manage it. Well, thanks to Hao Li, that has changed. Took me less than an hour to get my first project up and running. Even more, I have never done project management work in my life and after a month of using it, my projects are in top notch shape. If you pair it with the Mac version of the app, the things are getting even better. If I have to make a recommendation, I would encourage you to develop a PC version of the app. Thank you and keep up the good work!.Papi NickVersion: 13.5

Really good, but need more flexibility in dealing with timeI really liked my first few minutes with the app, but I had to abandon it really quickly. As far as I can tell it will not support a task’s work time of less than 1 day. I deal with projects that have lots of moving functions and they are managed and billed by the hour. Some projects are less than a day long so you just end up with a task list. I know there are good reasons to stick to one day timeframes, but business needs don’t always allow that. It would be ideal if I could enter minutes. I could manage if I were limited to hours. Requiring days, wont work for me. It is not fo me, but if you deal in longer timeframe projects, than this could be a really great app..Calvin.fVersion: 11.0

Professional and Easy to UseI am a general contractor and this works perfectly for scheduling the complexities of a renovation while keeping staff and owners informed of progress and upcoming work items. Owners are super impressed with how detailed my schedules are and appreciate the notice on items where their input is required. Though it is feature rich, everything is super intuitive to use. A short learning curve, but less than expected for a detailed app. The only hassle I had was figuring out in which order to apply task linking so things would drag or not drag when connected items were moved. Nothing wrong with the app, just took me a while to get the hang of it. Excellent app!.SidgebotVersion: 8.2

Nice App!I don’t always take the time to review apps. This took me a couple days to get used to it coming from Office Project on a PC I bought a new iPad Pro and and wanted to have a better handle on things on the go. I mainly use this to track where my work crews are and durations for various tasks on a Gantt chart. I did not want to pay a monthly fee but was not opposed to a small investment if it worked good. This is REALLY easy to use once you get a little time to play with it and the coloring options and other tools are great. Very happy with my choice and highly revcommend..Naybird1Version: 10.0

Simple but not short of features & capabilitiesI've had a love/hate relationship with Microsoft Project for many years. Ditto for most project management apps. QuickPlan hasn't entirely replaced them as I do export from it to give project plans to other people. Other than that QuickPlan has become my go-to project tool. I am not a professional project manager, rathering being a professional who has to manage projects. Syncing up plans between my desktop, iPad and phone isn't as seamless as I could like, requiring cloud storage. But it is effective and reliable. Frankly this tool is an amazing bargain among all the similar software I use (MS Project, OmniPlan and Smartsheet). It is by far cheaper and lacks few of their capabilities that care about. The one hitch may be if you need to have complex projects in which you need to delegate portions of a large project plan. Wonderful, stable app..AroundomahaVersion: 8.1

DANGEROUS CLOUD SYNC!!I work on Mac, print them as pdf and quit the app, I check the iphone has updated, but in the iPad has not although they are connected with the same wifi at home, wait until the next day I want to continue the work the iPad (as I don’t bring my mac) I found that iPad not yet updated, but when I got home and want to continue the work on my mac, the files are synced as the old iPad file which is the older version!!!!!... THIS IS NIGHTMARE!!!!!....SachaUllyMCEVersion: 13.0

WonderfulAlthough the app icon and some of the screenshots look a little cheap, this is actually one of the best GANTT chart apps on iOS. It can seemingly do everything, is quick and intuitive once you get used to it, nice to look at, and exports like a pro. I was blown away and not expecting this to be more than a cheap app. This app saved me on a few projects and it’s even agile enough for personal use. Highly recommend it!.SRhyseVersion: 8.8

QuickPlanCommercial and high end Luxury homes QuickPlan has been the acknowledged MacProject successor. It retains the former’s ease of use intuitive UX while extending functionality beyond Gantt charting. It lacks print control over cell sizes which means a project >300 cells can occupy an entire 8x8’ wall space after printing. It is the best solution for Gantt charting…if critical path analysis is not important to your timeline. And you have wall space! You buy this app for ease of use, speed and convenience. It just works without forcing you to sit at a desktop for hours!.Rr6013 in SFOVersion: 10.0

Absolutely brilliantI am an ex professional project planner with IBM. I have always used Microsoft Project but now having retired I need to do some planning for House moves and the like. I started using project but then thought let me see if there is anything on an iPad. This app is absolutely wonderful. I only have one question at the moment which is how do I do a redo (I can do an undo) I can’t see a redo option..RandallpatrickcVersion: 9.0

Absolutely IncredibleI got this app to help me track time and resources for my software development business and I am blown away. It has pretty much everything you could ever want and the developers even have a feedback section where they respond to good feature requests and questions. You need not be scared of the price as this app is absolutely worth every penny..Daniel AbdelsamedVersion: 9.0

Very easy for useI've spent a lot of time seeking a good gantt app for the iPad, for my daily project management work - QuickPlan is the final one I found this app get everything I expected done well, and more than my expectation is the intuitive user interface design, which is reliable, simple and powerful. Love the PDF / Excel exporting, Love the list style, love the fact I can do my job very quickly!.Kata miller 1987Version: 8.1

Best Valued AppThis application has great features to it and the developer is constantly active in development with improvements. The fact that you also only have to pay once at a well rounded price is what separates this from its other competition. I was skeptical at first, but this has now become my new way of keeping track of projects..Kellen_OriginalVersion: 9.0

I rarely give 5 stars......but this is a simply great app. It is hard to find something this complex that works good on an iPad but they have put in a number of bells and whistles that just make this easy to work with on a mobile device. The ability to pinch zoom the gantt chart, clicking to stretch and modify... again, a great job on the part of the developers..ChristopherWadeVersion: 8.1

This convert iPad Pro be a productive device.I’ve spent a lot of time seeking an iPad app alternative to Microsoft Project Plan, and QuickPlan is what I’d like to recommend. This app is pretty simple to learn, after minutes, I started to plan my first project, and found I can get the simple schedule done very quickly. I do believe iPad Pro is a productive tool now. And the user interface is pretty good..Linda 368Version: 8.2

Yes!Finally, an amazing project management app at a reasonable price. So many PM apps out there cost a ridiculous amount or offer limited functionality until you pay some high monthly subscription. Forget that nonsense. This is the app you have been looking for. And I’m sure it will only get better as it appears to be regularly updated..Boxcar.joeVersion: 10.0

The best. Hands down.If you are looking for a good, polished, project management app for your iPad and Mac, this is it. The author puts quite a bit of effort into these apps and it really shows. I didn't realize how much I would actually end up using these, but they are my go-to for light project management tools. I wish I could give it 10 stars..JoeGuruVersion: 11.1

Great App But One Thing MissingI enjoy using this app. It is user friendly and there are a lot of tutorials to help expand your horizon. Unfortunately there is not a way to export a specified date range within a larger schedule. It is capable of doing so from desktop but not from IPad. I work in the field and all of my correspondence is done through my IPad. This would be the perfect program if it had that function..A nickname 25Version: 15.2

Tried many, love this one.This app takes advantage of the iPad abilities and works exactly as I had hoped it would, which is to say, that it’s very intuitive and allows you to have complexity in your project with nearly no learning curve. If you already understand the Gantt format you will love this for sure..JsjcucieiVersion: 9.0

LOVE THE APPThis application is very easy to use and learn. It works well for those that may have not have a background in project management. My only suggestion is to have the app be compatible on windows. I work with others that utilize windows and it would be nice for them to utilize for the group..D. N UVersion: 10.0

An app that does what it says, simple easy for project managementTried multiple free apps, they weren’t easy to use or had the flexibility. I have 20 projects that I entered in an hour and how use it to manage. Well worth the paid price..Georgi1821Version: 17.2

Can only have a main outline 4 levels deep before needing sub-projectsThere's lots to like about the app, especially with the iOS + desktop combo. But I need to figure out how to use it for larger projects with lots of nested details. The developer has been very responsive and says that sub-projects can help accomplish this. I'll see how that works for us in practice..BoldcityVersion: 8.1

Best Project management/scheduling appI am beyond impressed with this app. Coming from MS Project, Wrike, GanttPro, TeamGantt, and Smartsheet--this is by far superior in almost every way. I bought an iPad Pro for scheduling my projects after using the app on the iphone and mac. Fantastic!!!! Not perfect.. but it's by far the closest. Oh, and it took me about 10min to learn..PeteHagenVersion: 8.1

Made my Work-life easierCreating project plan is so much easier with using QuickPlan. I don’t think I can be as efficient in planning using other tools and applications. I highly recommend this app..ChinesecattVersion: 15.3

Absolutely Wonderful!This is by far the best Project Management application for IOS. One time purchase price gets you everything. No subscriptions to worry or additional fees. Perhaps not as robust as MSProject but comes very close. Fully functional for my needs. No buyers remorse from me..Bogie1963Version: 9.0

Awesome AppThis tool is incredible and a perfect work companion on keeping things organized. Definitely 5 stars. Only suggestion would be to make all of the icons that can be assigned to the “task” rows available in every color (green, yellow, red). Yellow hourglass for instance. Would be awesome if the developer did a proper process flow diagram maker as well to add to the bundle with the same graphics and capabilities. Great app and definitely one I use multiple times a week to keep track of everything going on. Thank you for doing this app right..TV4LifeIsMeVersion: 9.0

Great tool!Had a very big long term project at work. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with trying to make MS Project work for my needs. This fit the bill perfectly! I really like the export features! It makes it very easy for my senior leadership to digest what’s going on..RUFreakVersion: 9.0

Ease of useSo Far so good this is a simple program to use. It is streamline and serves its purpose. One issue I find in a lot of apps is that they include a lot of extra functions that are not needed. Just give us simple minimum step app to help. This does that..Jt9275Version: 11.1

Works Great!A great app. I use this as an overview in building houses. I build about 18-20 at one time and although I use a more sophisticated company program which ties to purchase orders and is more enterprise friendly I could just as easily use this program..Srs_masterbuilderVersion: 8.5

Project Managing WizardThere are some niggles with the iPad version (such as resources not keeping when imported from Project) however, if you treat it as a walled garden of project management, it’s an amazing and intuitive app. I’ve crashed a couple times but it’s not a dealbreaker, I’ve probably crashed office products more often. Only critical improvement that needs to be made is links should be kept when a task group is duplicated. At the moment all links disappear when task group is duplicated. I know the author has an interesting take on limiting the use of links, but this should be a choice made by the user not by the devs. You can default to not duplicating links, if this is the workflow you wish to promote. I want to duplicate my links though. Well worth the money and the printout looks really impressive and readable, unlike MS project printouts..SubarunyonVersion: 13.0

Nice beginning, but no link between tasks?EDIT: The app now has link beetween ''child task'' inside the same ''parent task''. That's a beginning and makes the app usable for the planning of really simple projetcts (with no catogory needed). Next would to be able to link tasks from different categories and the addition of ''beginning to end'' linkage. After that, throw away MSProject! _________________________________________ Sincerely, it is a well done little app. But, to be really useful, it needs links between apps. without that, it can't be used to plan real projects, sorry! But it is well done, really... maybe if it was associated with evernote?.Y0uh0uVersion: 4.0

QuickPlan, Project Gantt Chart Negative Reviews

Minimum task duration 1 dayI like a lot of the features of QuickPlan and the developer’s other apps, but QuickPlan only handles task durations of one day or more. I found ways to force more than one task in a day, but that made the app much more work than it should be. To be useful at all to me, it must be able to schedule subtasks within a day—it is impossible to sum up a day’s work as one task. The developer’s suggestion of using iAgenda for more granularity again makes the app more work than it should be, thus useless for serious project management. I will come back to this suite if the developer will add the capability for breaking a day down into subtasks. Until then, I have a expensive apps I cannot use for anything..Engr_jackVersion: 10.1

Great but NEEDS improvementWonderful interface once you get used to it. But it’s not fully functional schedule app yet. 1) Needs real links just like MS PROJECT. Not just Finish Start. With Lead Lag. 2) Needs Task and Group Selectable Baselines. Archive is all or none. not really industry standard. 3) Needs way to “Hide” task that are over or in the past or too far in future. Maybe use archive for this purpose along with good filters and adjustable print timeframes. 4) I lost a lot of work because it is unclear when this thing actually saves. Or does it have a save as you go BUG?.EroomjtVersion: 17.2
