OmniPlan 4 4+

A great project management app

A really comprehensive and powerful project management app. I love that you can enhance it with JavaScript scripts using Omni Automation. It's very good at adapting your project if you need to make changes. The network diagram is a great way to see and set up dependencies. Leveling gives you a plan that optimizes your use of resources. Lots of ways to track costs, including costs over time. I'm brand new to project management, but found it very intuitive to start using this and learn more as I went. Support is also very good, and answers quickly. I definitely recommend this! It also syncs with your iPad and iPhone.

Absolutely overpriced, buggy and mediocre when it does work

Version 4 is no different than 3 from what I could see. A few new features that do not help with scheduling, just fluff.

Omniplan 3 is now broken and unusable and the fix is to buy a new version. Why would I buy a new version when we are still waiting on fixes from the previous version?

I have been trying to use Omniplan 3 for a few years to run my fabrication shop schedule. It has had the same bugs and short comings since day 1. But instead of fixing the one I paid for they made version 4 and said I can upgrade. I paid for the full pro version and was amazed at how buggy it was. And, when it did work it was mediocre at best. We deceived to go with Omniplan and get 1 dedicated Mac just for this software only to find out you can only share with other Omniplan users. So I have to print out screen shots or PDF’s to share with my team. And the tech support, that’s a just message board that has long been abounded I have questions up there for almost a year and not a single person from Omniplan has even bothered to acknowledge them.

The “free” 2-week trial is disingenuous

I need a project planning tool,
This looks like a great one.
I would like to try using it during the “free trial”, but I can’t. The two week free trial is in “read only” mode, where I can’t make a project to try it out.
Yes, I could sign up for the monthly subscription- but I’m not going to, (1) now I have to remember to cancel it if I don’t like this app, and (2) I feel lied to. The product description didn’t say anything about a read-only trial, it’s only in the app.
And to me, that is disingenuous & I cannot support that
