Scheduling Tool Tom’s Planner Now iPad and iPhone Compatible
Summary
Tom’s Planner, a simple drag-and-drop, Gantt-chart-based, online planning tool has received a couple of useful updates. It’s now compatible with the iPad (s aapl) and iPhone, and can also import Excel and MS Project files (s msft). Tasks can be scheduled by dragging and dropping on the chart, while accessing the context menu items is achieved by a “long click” (tapping and holding for longer than a second). I’ve tried it out on my iPhone and it works pretty well, although the small screen makes it quite fiddly, and the long click does take a bit of getting used to. While it doesn’t have all the advanced features offered by its competitors, it’s well-designed and simple, which makes it really easy to use, even for complete project management novices.
