"Microsoft introduced Planner to manage projects inside Office365. When I first looked at the concept, I found that it was exactly that: a concept. It needed more functionality and a way to manage tasks inside Outlook. Luckily, I found Apps4.Pro. Santhosh and the team have worked hard to overcome the shortcomings of Planner. With Apps4.Pro, I can truly manage my consulting projects with Planner. Apps4.Pro current and planned functionality makes Planner one of the most useful tools in my practice. Great work!"

"We tried Planner for a couple of weeks but found there were just too many holes for it to be useful. Along came Apps4.Pro and it has really plugged many of those holes nicely. It is easy to convert an email to a task, create tasks from a template and set reminders for a task. Thank very much for a great product!"
