SmartPlans is a flexible project planner and task manager. Its "Smart" because it manages the time that you allocate to your various projects, while maintaining the balance that you need to get everything done - meetings, customer contacts, simple tasks, and complex projects. And now, SmartPlans 3 integrates with our other productivity apps by way of your iOS Calendar.

With SmartPlans you can also create simple unstructured "to do" lists, record the time of multiple tasks and calls (great for managing contacts and customer billing), and even track your life balance goals.

How it works:

✓Create a project.
✓Fill it with tasks. Add more later.
✓Drag and drop to group tasks into Milestones, with alerts and deadlines.
✓Flip your iPhone or iPad sideways to manage multiple projects from the Gantt view.
✓View your Milestones and Tasks directly in your iPhone or iPad Calendar app.
✓Now sync Calendar with any of our productivity apps - SmartCal (iPhone), SmartPad (iPad) and SmartDay (Mac) - and they will automatically schedule in your other tasks and appointments into your current day.
✓There. Now you have everything from the forest to the trees. Even acorns.

Pros and cons of Smart Plans - Multi Planner app for iPhone and iPad

Smart Plans - Multi Planner app good for

Wow, this app is berthed than in thought. Very detailed and well thought out. The UI is very intuitive and well organized. Im about to launch my new business and this app has helped me map-out exactly what I need to do, when I need it down by, and how much time I have to get everything done!! This app is worth every penny. I cant wait for ongoing feature updates! UPDATE: crashes a lot!! Needs an update
This is it, the all-in-one package. You can go fine-detailed with this app and totally manage real projects. I look forward to discovering the new features, and i think I may create a little course on using it for the people around me. Cheers
This is a beautifully designed product. It has a unique well integrated approach to project management and is for those who want a detailed drill down that provides professional support to your workday activities.
Another great app from left coast. Great funtionality and easy to use and good integration with other apps.
This is really good if you have multiple projects going at once
Ive had this for two years. Theyve added a bunch of project management features like milestones (with nifty alerts) and you can link one project to another for dependencies. I like the way I can put the Milestones into the top part of my iPad Calendar, which I share with other people. It also puts tasks into a specific time (you cant change the time afterwards) but at least I can see that level of detail in my calendar. Bottom line: this is a great app for someone who has to juggle multiple projects, but keep in mind its not for team projects, it doesnt have a sharing feature. Great customer service and live chat on their web site.

Some bad moments

This App has really interesting ideas but is yet unusable. Please improofe the usability of your app. For now I wouldnt recommend to buy this one.
This App have a Lot of Bugs. I must search the names in my Call list without letters. oh no please give me my Money return.
....because it crashes nearby everytime I start it! So I can´t see any bugs in this app! ;)
If it crashes anymore, mabye ill vote more stars! Absolutely unacceptable! Please change!
This app crashed within 2 minutes of using it. It does not sync with iCal properly (a one way push, where you have to disable all other calendars first then re-enable them is NOT how you should sync). Lack of touch gestures to move things around properly. Etc, Everything about this app feels half finished and buggy. Save youre money!
The developer has a great web developer. They should hire him to revamp the app! I dont even know where to start…The interface is ugly and the choice of colours for the projects is horrible. This is just a simple list of todos that doesnt allow due dates. Whats the point of creating a Gant chart of items that cannot be scheduled? The tasks are grouped in bubbles that we are supposed to be able to drag but when we touch them there is a popup menu so it makes it really annoying to drag we need to "click" them 6 or 7 times before we are able to drag them. Again when we drag one on top of the other we are able to group them but there is no sense in having tasks that cannot be ordered by due time. Then on Gant view there is really nothing we can do in order to rearrange things This is a "fake gant" since we cannot drag and drop, move or do anything at all. We cannot manage projects on Gant view as the developer says. We can move project lines on gant view but nothing else. I give 2 stars for a good looking website as for the app is useless. Timeli is free and is 10 times better…Im applying for a refund.
