"Planner has completely transformed how my marketing team handles large campaigns. Being able to visualize our progress in buckets and drag tasks to completion is incredibly satisfying. It's the 'one source of truth' we needed to finally escape the endless loop of status-update emails and focus on actual work."
"As someone constantly moving between client sites and the office, the mobile experience is a lifesaver. I can update task statuses on my iPhone and know my team sees it instantly on their desktops. It integrates perfectly with our existing Office 365 setup, making collaboration seamless and secure."
Insights from user reviews.
Sentiment Score
Summary
The mobile app receives overwhelmingly negative feedback, primarily due to its significant lack of premium plan compatibility which many users find makes the app "useless". Key criticisms include pervasive performance issues like slow loading times and a critical disparity in features compared to the web version, such as missing task duration, filtering, and reminders. Additionally, users frequently highlight poor integration with other Microsoft services, leading to a disjointed and frustrating user experience. While some appreciate existing functionalities like recurring tasks and the app's potential for quick overviews, the overall sentiment reflects a strong demand for substantial improvements in functionality and performance to match its desktop counterpart.
