Pros and cons of Project Planning Go - Project, Task & Resource Management app for iPhone and iPad

Project Planning Go - Project, Task & Resource Management app good for

Ive juste started using it and it seems simple and very handy.
Delivers what it promises, but needs to improve some buttons witch doesnt work very well, some text box that doesnt erase the previous text, when we rename a task it continues with the previous name on Grant chart.
Very good! All the PM resources in a compact package. Couple of debugging to go but tremendous potential and usefullness.
Nice application. It exports into SG pro as well as MS project and OmniPlan extremely well. Fairly intuitive to use, nice ability to rearrange and options to action on each task.
This app has got a lot of good features, but I am running into a deadlock situation (twice with a reinstall) where the app closed unexpectedly and when it is opened again an auto recovery message prompts me to save my work or cancel it. If either button is pressed, the application exits and the message comes again the next time you try to load the application. The only way is uninstall and reinstall.
This app has taken my project management to the next level. Providing schedules to various customers with-in minutes. This has greatly improved my efficiency, as well as customer relations. This is the best $8 youll ever spend....:)

Some bad moments

I2 is just as "good" as I know it from one year of heavy implementation of their other app- but 100K times more expensive one... Anyway: - bad graphics - high price - terrible translation into Russian; just unbelievable - EXPORT MOT FUNCTIONING!!! I am angry as never been, 4.5 euros and two hours of work only to find out that blood app doesnt export stuff into excel, because of some bug!!!
Can email MS Project files to myself and view/modify in field. Great interface, user friendly.
The on screen keyboard doesnt show up when entering tasks. This big makes the app useless.
Currently managing multiple mega projects in health care sector.
Im only giving for 4 stars until they integrate with the calendar and the contacts within your phone
Im using the app to track my progress on a home renovation project. I cant tell you how many worthless program management apps that Ive tried. (Some of which wouldnt even calculate a revised project end date based on changed task completion dates). The only thing that keeps it from being a five star app is that you can only enter a duration in days and not something like hours (it doesnt take a full day for me to do most tasks in my project). If thats corrected itd be a 5 star app and definitely worth more than 3.99.
