User Reviews for QuickPlan, Project Gantt Chart

Simple but not short of features & capabilities

I'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.

Really good, but need more flexibility in dealing with time

I 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.

Made by a Professional

Here’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.

Become the master

Never 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.

Critical shortfalls - not a serious tool

App 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.

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.

Very useful planning tool. Excellent software

Looking 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.

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!

Ok for high-level/quick planning

The 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.

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
