Microsoft Planner for Positive User Reviews
✓ Another Genius MoveHave 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..Version: 1.9.12
✓ Love itEasy to use and has helped me organise my work activities.Version: 1.13.20
✓ Planned maintenanceI use this app to plan the maintenance of 100s of equipment. Adding a checklist to each item , ensures that all the kit and equipment maintenance is never missed ..Version: 1.6.32
✓ Petia testThis is test please ignore.Version: 1.13.18
✓ Would be useful to be able to convert a task to a checklist item easilyThere’s only an option to promote a checklist item to a task, not one to demote a task to a checklist item... Would love to see more linking features between tasks etc.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Great where is the calendar viewLove this app and the web based version is great. It comes alive for us with the calendar view of tasks..Version: 1.13.32
✓ Dark mode & a stand-alone desktop app and this will be a contenderWith most businesses able to access O365 Planner comes in handy to get everyone on the same page. It’s currently a bit of an afterthought and needs a little tlc to get it up to Trello standards. That being said, my boss likes it because it will spit out excel when he wants it..Version: 1.6.32
✓ Microsoft is crushing itRecent 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..Version: 1.8.11
✓ Easy to useHave just started using this app to manage my small team of technicians. So far I’ve been impressed at how easy it is for everyone to use and how it’s focussing everyone’s attention on completing their work within agreed deadlines. Good job!.Version: 1.6.9
✓ Absolutely Love This AppThere 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..Version: 1.13.49
✓ Great for team visibility, one or two things missing…..I love this tool and use it every day to manage the tasks my team are working on, or plan to undertake. I think the buckets and labels are great too… BUT the things that I really NEED and have workarounds (manual and annoying ones) for are: 1. The expected time/duration of the task (how long will it take to do the task) as well as when should it be started and finished by 2. Offline mode. No airplane mode or ability to work offline. I would prefer not to send tasks to my team if I am choosing to work out of hours because I don’t expect them to check emails and notifications at those times. It would be great if I could work offline, and when I go back online (I.e. in working hours), the tasks update and populate. If you can do this - I will stop using ToodleDo!.Version: 1.12.3
✓ Excellent application for managing teamIt is an excellent application which can be used from phone, pc internet. It will automatically send notification to member regarding their task due dates and so on..Version: 1.11.0
✓ Has a lot of potential.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..Version: 1.8.12
✓ Great easy to useLike the app but looking forward to greater integration with To-Do.Version: 1.8.20
✓ Looks Great! Only Problem Is...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!.Version: 1.10.3
✓ What I was looking forLove 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..Version: 1.13.48
✓ Needs more on the mobile app sideOverall 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..Version: 1.6.4
✓ Good ProductThis could be an exceptional product if it did two things, integrate with me project and have the ability to record a numerical metric. Otherwise, I would stick to to-do. Planner also needs to easily integrate with outlook and it needs a desktop app. It’s a good start but not totally on the mark..Version: 1.11.6
✓ Planner changed my lifeI can’t tell you how many hours worth of note taking and managing actions Planner has saved me. I had always dreamed of a system where I could keep track of all my actions from multiple teams on one platform. Just wish the desktop version was quicker - man it’s slow - have to use the iPhone to do everything..Version: 1.6.32
✓ Great app !Great app ! Love it 🥰.Version: 1.13.20
✓ Awesome App 5 starsBetter and more powerful than todo lists. Tracking team tasks and todo’s is trivial and so simple to use. Must have app!!!.Version: 1.6.23
✓ PlannerL’outil que je cherche depuis 35 ans!.Version: 1.8.18
✓ Some little things would make it betterTie into outlook so you can add a task from an email. Being able to assign a key task owner rather then a collection of owners.Version: 1.7.10
✓ Great! But...Great app. Love that more than one person can share a To Do list and that I can assign tasks to a colleague/assistant. But...one massive improvement would be that I can use the app on airplane mode. When there is no internet I can’t even open it. Annoying when trying to work on a plane!.Version: 1.6.25
✓ Pretty goodIt would be good if you could have the ability to personalise plans, such as changing colours. Still a great app though.Version: 1.9.10
✓ Huge potential!The app is very easy to use and helpful but has one important feature missing: can you please add a field to size tasks? The number of tasks doesn’t say very much at all, a field for story points or similar is crucial to use the app effectively..Version: 1.8.12
✓ Simple and effectiveGreat application but really could do with admin profiles so to restrict changes that users can make. At present, anyone can make any change to any plan..Version: 1.8.12
✓ Great app!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..Version: 1.15.3
✓ Nice appOffice 365 has taken me time to work out how to implement teams, planner etc for our organisation, but now that it’s setup and being used it’s a very powerful tool and loving how it progressively becomes way more integrated between apps..Version: 1.6.13
✓ Almost greatGreat little app that works well on iPhone. If I could view as a Gantt chart then I would give it 5 stars.Version: 1.8.20
✓ “We cannot complete your request because Planner traffic is unusually high.”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..Version: 1.10.3
✓ UPDATE..Great project management but....UPDATE: Latest build fixed the problem and I can now view and edit from planner. Well done, MS! Planner does not sync with MS Teams in an IOS environment. Listing of projects show but no buckets or workflow. MS Teams takes you to web version only. Will this be fixed?.Version: 1.5.3
✓ Surprisingly easy to jump in and begin usingI thought I was going to have to spend a lot of time studying this app out before begin using it. It only took me a few minutes and I started our team on the path of more focused planning! Thanks you guys at Microsoft..Version: 1.6.2
✓ Almost incredibleI really enjoy the way this task manager works. It helps me to finish complicated tasks. It needs to all you to set up templates or truly copy tasks or buckets. It also needs to let you hide plans once completed. Otherwise it is great..Version: 1.6.8
✓ A great tool!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.Version: 1.6.19
✓ Mobile functionality feels limitedSitting in a coffee shop, I would love to be able to add a project on my phone and be able to populate it with data. Sadly this functionality doesn’t seem available. Yet?.Version: 1.6.32
✓ Can't believe I'm rating a Microsoft app 5 starsI 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....Version: 1.2.3
✓ Nearly there .....It normally seems to take 2 years for MSoft to get their apps/products right - Teams looks like it might only take 6 months. As long as they don’t screw up the Skype for Biz integration maybe 5* next time..Version: 1.3.1
✓ One more thing...Please add dark mode.Version: 1.8.4
✓ The Ultimate To-Do!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!.Version: 1.2.6
✓ Great conceptGreat app, but needs work today I noticed all tasks are not showing on the ‘my tasks’ page. Will still use it but just hope the bugs and design will mould with time..Version: 1.6.8
✓ Combine To-Do & Planner AppI love using the planner app as well as the To-Do app, but if they worked together that would be much more helpful. The reminder option and time of reminder option is hugely helpful in the To-Do app so I use that app for deadlines and planner for broad planning but it would be much simpler to use just one app with all of the capabilities..Version: 1.6.32
✓ Fundamental fix that could greatly improve the appThere 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.Version: 1.7.10
✓ Reoccurring tasksPlanner is very useful. However, I cannot set reoccurring tasks for routine tasks. It would be really good if it is addressed..Version: 1.13.17
✓ Needs more featuresIn-app notifications would be a great start! Borrow some of the functions from Teams please..Version: 1.6.32
✓ A great software application for managing my personal tasks.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..Version: 1.6.8
✓ Extremely usefulThank you Microsoft for another excellent application..Version: 1.8.19
✓ Can’t delete the plans that you make on mobileIt’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..Version: 1.9.10
✓ Great appLove this app. Use it everyday for work. Would be great to be able to create sub tasks and to link tasks.Version: 1.13.33
✓ Need notification ASAPNo notifications yet so it’s useless for getting update in planning.Version: 1.8.11
✓ Great app for team collaboration - needs further developmentI have just started using this app with my team. It has been effortless to get started with, and is very easy to pick up. We work on a rotational pattern of 21 days on and 10 days off, all on staggered shifts, so having all the visibility of task list makes for effective crossover notes. Through that improved visibility, things get done even when you’re not there. It does need to have an export feature, like an export to Excel and definitely some form of printing would make it even better - this would make team review meetings easier if you don’t have the luxury of a projector in your office. Also, if the checklists within a task could be assigned specifically to people that would be great Great app. Definitely a winner.Version: 1.6.3
✓ Unable to launch - update, working in iOS 14Previously reviewed as 1 star as unable to launch the app. All fixed now. Happy to use the app again. Old review below for reference. I recently upgraded from iPhone 7 to 11. On my iPhone 7 Planner worked fine. On the 11, I can’t get into the app. It just hangs on the loading screen. No error. Have deleted and reinstalled serval times and rebooted. Please fix this as I used the app lots on my iPhone 7 so I don’t understand why it’s not working on a different handset. Thanks.Version: 1.9.11
✓ Do not usePlans you create are bound to the team or group. You can’t move them. If you delete a plan or task it is gone forever. No recovery. If you delete a group or team the pans are gone. Just don’t risk using this app..Version: 1.13.15
✓ Microsoft plannerI 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..Version: 1.15.6
✓ Great help to organize everything!Easy to use and great flexibility within the Microsoft ecosystem.Version: 1.8.19
✓ Love it - BUTMake no mistake this is a useful Microsoft app. It is free on the phone but you have to pay for a 365 account to use it. If you have used Microsoft project or other planners that follow waterfall methodology this probably will not work for you since you can not programme milestones or critical paths. You can Group things into logical groups “buckets” Assign tasks among your 365 team Start date Due date Progress not started in progress completed Add labels that are colour coded You can get limited charts. Email alerts to your 365 email. The integration with the 365 website is very slick too. One addition I would love to see is if on the charts where a late task is in red, or a in progress task is in blue Make it so when you take the chart colour task it takes you to the tasks. Other than that very fine work Microsoft. I’m using lists and SharePoint as well. We are moving home at the moment and Microsoft lists, SharePoint and planner are being used. It’s both fun and useful..Version: 1.11.6
✓ Works great just wish downloading attachments was easierWhen you click on video attachments it opens the video in your browser the iPhone saves it to your download folder which is annoying. Would be better if you could download video and photo attachments directly from the app.Version: 1.13.35
✓ V goodLove the ability to identify your own tasks. This reduces the need for non technical staff being able to focus on their own tasks and not worry about the ‘big picture’..Version: 1.13.20
✓ On holdWe need an on hold status otherwise useful and easy app.Version: 1.5.9
✓ MS PLANNERGreat little app, the web functionality has a list function which could be added to the mobile one Also web version list could we get an option to sort the columns , in that way we could prioritise. I love the integration with Outlook calendar! Would be nice to have a right click forward to planner from Outlook as well.Version: 1.15.4
✓ Huge productivity boosterLove that I can access my PC task list from my phone, delegate items, get automatic email reminders for upcoming and past due tasks. Great for personal organization and team coordination. Very intuitive user friendly interface..Version: 1.6.11
✓ No use outside of coveragePretty good but the inability to use when out of coverage is a joke..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Almost perfect…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!!.Version: 1.13.40
✓ Zo 007This is a really good app and lets you manage your tasks and your team. I wish it could be more integrated with Outlook and OneNote. At the moment when you record actions in meetings on OneNote you then have to manually add actions in Planner. Also, where have Outlook emails that are linked to an action or request directly come through an email then I wish you can create task directly into planner instead of manually adding. More integration please and as soon as possible..Version: 1.8.11
✓ Coming along nicelyMS keeps adding functionality and is becoming my favorite app. Need to have an add-in for IOS Outlook etc to forward to immediately create a task/plan. Also with the additional functionality on MS To-Do, it is starting to become a bit confusing as to which program to use for which function given the amount of overlap. But excellent app.Version: 1.9.7
✓ OkOk.Version: 1.13.21
✓ Need notificationsGreat app overall to use with lots of detailed features. However, one really simple but important feature which is missing is notifications. I wish the app could notify me the day before something is due. This would really help. I currently use it to organise my university work..Version: 1.13.47
✓ Really impressed with the MS Planner app.My team was able to quickly adapt MS Planner for use with our general contracting firm. We are able to organize jobs and individual tasks. If simple Gantt chart and timeline features were added it would be the best app I have ever used. Keep up the good work MS team! 5 starts when Gantt is added. : ).Version: 1.6.8
✓ OrganizedThis 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!.Version: 1.15.6
✓ AwesomeIt’s awesome.Version: 1.9.5
✓ Plan better w/Microsoft PlannerMy 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!.Version: 1.13.3
✓ Using it every day nowStill solo in my business so I can't speak to the collaborative functions but for me this is awesome. Planner has a level of simplicity which makes it better than other tools like Trello to manage activities. I've used the buckets to capture specific projects and within each to capture tasks needed to be completed. I've also used buckets to list my actions for today and 1 or 2 days out so I've always got a clear picture of what's coming up. In addition it's super easy to assign colour coded labels. For projects I can highlight priority projects. And for my daily actions I can assign colour codes to say if it's a 15 min, 30 min, 60 min presentation, 90 min deep work etc. So at a glance I know what's happening. I used to try to manage all of this in my calendar or paper to do lists but this way is far better! Great work Planner team..Version: 1.13.13
✓ FabulousGreat to get out of 3rd party apps and now just in Microsoft.Version: 1.9.6
✓ Great start just needs some polishThe tool is great and has been quick and easy to use. The only issue I have is that there is no export facility available or top level reporting capability for management. Once those are in this will be awesome..Version: 1.5.9
✓ Planner is greatOur 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..Version: 1.5.6
😕 Microsoft Planner Negative Reviews
