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.

2026-07-11	Da*****	No support for task chat? The app still shows the legacy comments feature, but Planner via a browser has now moved to a chat window instead.
