Good Project Planning Tool
Good interface in creating project plans and presenting them to leadership teams.
CONSIt would be good if the GANTT Chart and visuals offer more customization ie. different coloring. Otherwise, the software is good.

Project Planning Pro in Film Production
I encountered PPP while doing project management for the one of the many government agencies. I was looking for alternatives to MS Project. Since I stared using it I have since expanded my usage to my blossoming second career in film production. One could use MS Project as well, but I have found the PPP just flowed more seamlessly. We track tasks and dependencies for Development through Post-Production without any issues.
PROSThe ease of use when I was doing PM work with the government caught my attention. That allowed me to port our previous project planning from spreadsheets to a robust project planning software.
CONSNone that readily come to mind.

I found it by searching under project management and it is available on iPhone and Mac.
None yet but I did track purchasing a home with this.
PROSThe fact that it is visually effective and it is compatible with the iphone and mac is ideal. Ability to have multiple projects is good.
CONSIt could be made more user friendly and losing data is frustrating. I wish it had a backup system. I also wish it was more compatible with other apps including calendar.

Project Planning Pro
Overall I love how this program helps me and my team to stay on track of projects. It has helped us in providing updates to leadership on the spot. Whenever we have been in a meeting and someone questions our timeline on the project we simply pop our Development Plan and guide them through our tasks. Very user friendly.
PROSI love the availability of not starting from scratch. I can upload my project time line from Dropbox, email and or GServer. I like knowing how many days I am spending on each project and the "duration" columns in Task Information that allows me to see the total days and be able to compare how long each projected project will take. I also LOVE the fact that I can add resources to each project as well.
CONSThe filled in timeline colors and arrows may seem overwhelming for a new time user but once you are comfortable with the program, you learn to love the arrows.

I have enjoyed using the program and it has facilitated getting info to all sub trades
I like that you can see thru gnat file how it is all fitting together. The ability to add or delete atems as needed. I love that it auto changes everything when you change one date.
CONSI do not like that i cannot print directly form program itself I always have to send my self and email and that is frustrating. That is does not do an automaiic save is also frustrating

Great for planning on the move
Management of existing projects in a mobile app.
PROSEasy to use, and has decent reporting. After trying most of the free and paid iOS iPad apps for project management, this is by far the easiest to use after coming from a Microsoft Project background. The charts and timelines update automatically and smoothly, but without using up all the iPad's memory (unlike Microsoft apps). The ability to import existing MSP files is crucial, and although there are some new MSP features that don't always import perfectly, this app is way ahead of the other project management iOS apps I've tried. Well worth learning to use, with plenty of features to fine tune my projects 'on the go'.
CONSDoesn't always handle all aspects of MSproject files when importing. However it does a much better job than other iOS apps.

Project Planning pro to manage a good project for beginners
My experience was really good, i really like this software and the way that was created.
PROSThe thing i really like is the graphic interface, thanks to this interface, was really easy to create and manage a project and in this way was really good understand, because i was not related with this kind of software.
CONSI like least the tools and the functions because in many cases, those tools and functions didn´t work really good and was really difficult to manage a project.

This is a great little tool to use when you require a mobile solution.
Its Mobile. I can be out onsite with my iPad and be able to enter information as it happens. If a scheduling conflict arises I can update it quickly without forgetting.
CONSIt doesn't easily integrate as an overall desktop and mobile solution. Just for on the go needs. So if I want to work on the iPad the. Go back to working on my desktop it won't live sync.
Vendor Response
Hello Jeremy, Yes it was not possible to sync your projects in realtime until the latest version of Project Planning Pro was released. Now you can sync projects in realtime with iCloud. Hope this helps you organise your projects better and save time in making changes on your desktop version. Happy Planning!

Project Made Easy
The software is very good, as an event planner, and project supervisor in a construction company, project pro makes my job very easy and smooth. The dropbox Synchronization is very easy and working on the same project through iPhone and iPad at the same time and effect changes immediately. Easy to use both on iPad and iPhone iMessage also available I can arrange my task and To Do List easily and this makes my work easier. So many other features are available, which can easily be used and I can do my work without stress. I can work on the system, iPhone, and Ipad and my work are updated. I Love the App.
PROSI am the type of person that try any new software to see if it can benefit and make my work very easy. I found Project Planning to meet all my need and makes my work go very smooth.
CONSTo be more user-friendly so that anyone who wants to use the software can be able to interact with all the interface.

Simple & Effective Alternative for MS Project on Mac
I tried many apps when i switched to Mac from Windows and this had most features which i used on MS Project. It is very easy to use and fulfils most of the features i used. Pros: Cheap Imports Ms Project files, also from dropbox and email Gantt Charts Milestones, Critical path Cons: UI could be better Cant change color of the tasks (which they said comes soon. *fingers crossed*) It lacks some features but the major ones i use are available so i was happy. I contacted support regarding importing a file and they responded quickly (one reason why i am writing this). Totally recommend it! :) P.S it's very cheap compared to other apps available in the market.

One of the best planning apps I've ever used
I downloaded this app to test it (I've been using other software - omniplan 3 ) and I really loved it! It's way simpler than other apps such as omniplan and the ms project. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is that it does not works on windows and that can be an issue when your client does not have macs, so sharing the files to them is not easy... they have to see it in their iPhone/iPad... anyway, do not hesitate in download it and play with it... is simple, effective and above all, user friendly!

Great program!
Easy to use...the only problem I had was the fact I am not an avid user of project management software. I was familiar with Project Manager with Microsoft. This program closely simulates it. It is easier to use than the project manager templates offered on Word by Microsoft. I would have loved the opportunity to use it until project was completed. That was my only problem.

Vast potential, complicated user interface.
Finding the strengths and weaknesses of everybody in the company.
PROSThe specificity of defining constants and roles to each individual in an organizational project. As well as clocking in and out and being similar to a mindmap but it's for mapping out each individual's roles.
CONSIt takes time to learn and fully operate. It's expensive, and finally there aren't training videos on the application in its UI at least.
