## Description

Microsoft Planner is a collaborative task management tool designed for Office 365 work or school subscriptions. It offers a visual and intuitive interface where teams can create plans, organize tasks into buckets, assign responsibilities, and track task progress by simply dragging and dropping tasks. With its comprehensive 'My Tasks' view, users can monitor all their tasks and statuses across multiple plans.

Built to integrate deeply with Office 365, Planner enables team members to collaborate effectively by attaching photos, sharing files, and holding conversations directly within the app. It keeps all discussions and deliverables aligned with specific plans, eliminating the need to switch between different applications. Planner is accessible across various devices, allowing teams to stay updated, communicate, and manage tasks seamlessly whether at the desk or on the go.

## Review summary

Reviews are mixed. Some users praise Planner for its task tracking and say it’s simple to use for work and personal tasks, with comments like 'love it' and 'excellent.' However, many reviews highlight mobile shortcomings: laggy performance, a poor UI, and missing core features that exist on the web (no board view, cannot create plans or tasks, limited tools). Reliability and sign-in issues are common, including trouble with multiple MS accounts and personal vs work sign-ins. Premium features are not accessible, and To-Do/Graph/calendar integrations are limited. Overall, it has potential but several Android barriers persist.

### Pros

- Strong task tracking and progress visibility.
- Simple to use and usable for work and private tasks.
- Positive user sentiment from several reviewers (e.g., 'love it', 'excellent', 'extremely helpful').
- Task-focused, to-do-list oriented design.

### Cons

- Poor mobile UX/UI and performance on Android: laggy, confusing, unreliable.
- Feature gaps and parity with web: cannot create plans or tasks; board view missing; no list view; limited tools.
- Reliability issues and loading problems; app sometimes won't load.
- Sign-in and account management problems: difficulty signing in; multiple MS accounts; personal vs work.
- Premium features not accessible or incompatible with premium plan.
