Planyway Reviews

- Different views of the tasks - ease of use - Great UI - Keyboard shortcuts for quick actions - compatibility with trello - realtime data update

- I am sorry as I have nothing to say about cons

We use this tool to organize our team across multiple boards and schedule remote technicians. Easy to read on the PC.

No ability to sync to exchange calendars. Need to buy a 3rd part power up to do so. No android mobile app. Tech people use Android not stupid iPhones.

I like that it serves as a venue to promote planning/pull planning, and the integration with Trello is nice.

My biggest complaint with using this software is it is not very streamlined when it comes to planning. It's difficult to see the full task, I can't assign a duration, and there is no option to see the full project timeline so I waste time trying to get to the right week. It would also be nice to have the ability to assign a duration to the tasks.

Hi Jonathan, it's Tania from Planyway team. Glad that you gave Planyway a try. To find out how to assign a duration and change the timeline scale, please check our guide https://planyway.com/help/getting-started-guide/getting-started-guide, and please feel free to get in touch. We'll be there to help and advise.

The ability to see all my scheduled cards in various layouts, month, 3 days, etc.

I cannot seem to book time with my clients from the Planaway calendar functions meant to sync with Google. Let me know a workaround as this fault make me need to bridge back into Google Calendar or miss meetings.

The integration with Trello Easy to use Affordable price

There is nothing I don't like - it does every thing I need

I have been looking for a good solution to track Trello cards using a calendar besides the built-in option they provide. Since the integration of checklists, custom fields, and most of the other features Trello offers outside of Plannyway, it has everything you need to keep your business in order.

I don't have many complaints since you integrated the checklists and description.

I'm a Trello early adopter and have always been challenged to find a way to integrate Trello into my daily calendar. Planyway and Trello together are highly complimentary and I have found myself using more and more daily and weekly.

None that I would say are glaring, mostly UI negatives.

It is super easy to use! I love how it can integrate with Google calendar. You can easily keep track of projects, meetings, and deadlines all in one place.

The only thing I wish it could do is to integrate with google drive. However, you can get away by doing so if you put the links of your documents in the calendar.

The Planyway feature integrates well with Trello. Data is always accurate and well presented in a calendar format. The ability to move Trello cards with ease of drag and drop functionality makes this software a winner for our company.

I have not found anything yet that makes be dislike this software. I am very satisfied.

That it integrates with Trello so easily. We use it in our weekly status meetings to plan everyone's priorities for the week.

Nothing that I can think of at the moment.

Integration with Trello which was already in use.

Too easy to click in the wrong place and be taken back to a board as opposed to a Gant chart

I manage multiple clients' social media accounts and Planyway has made planning each social media calendar so easy! I love being able to look at the calendar view and drag and drop ideas from my Trello boards to schedule different posts.

It'd be nice if there was an option for calendar integration (like Canadian holidays, etc) so that I could see right in Planyway if anything important was coming up to post about.

I tested Planyway when we migrated to Trello for our projects and teamwork. I found it super quick and intuitive to set up and work with, giving me a very easy-to-use overview of my daily, weekly and monthly tasks across several Trello boards.

I find it too expensive as a standard solution once my trial period ended. This may affect our decision making whether or not we will use it as a team, too.

1.Time logging function is a great capability 2.Works great with trello and maintains some of the functionality in trello like adding checklists 3. Calendar prints exactly as it is displayed on web interface making planyway very user-friendly 4. Planyway is very compatible with google calendar and integrates very nicely with it making google calendar way more functional than it is without integrating with planyway 5. For an individual whose work has multiple components and varying timelines planyway is a priceless tool. I would pay more for added functional because this tool is so indispensable for me. Planyway makes project management extremely easy and seamless!!!

1. I love the time logging function!!! It seems that it would not be too complicated to make it automated such that it would auto-calculate amount of time spent on a particular trello card or trello board over a specified period rather than the user having to enter this information. Time logging data is only viewable in the calendar option yet it would be more useful to have an option where the data...

The ability to switch between projects in the planner

Not user friendly on mobile. It would be good to view and edit the planner from a mobile.

The desktop interface (web) is pretty straight forward and easy to use. The UI design doesn't get in the way of the use of the product. The integration with Trello works well. The repeating card feature is much better than what you have to work with natively in Trello.

The mobile experience leaves something to be desired. Personally I use shortcuts on iOS to push new tasks into my Trello account, but if you did not have that setup I could see wanting a faster way to take in new tasks/cards. Additionally there is no way to limit the hours of the day displayed on mobile, making navigation even more cumbersome. The drag and drop is buggy on mobile and I have been unable to get it to work. I haven't really attempted to use the iPad version after my experience with the iOS version. Additionally having to go back to my Trello board for search is annoying.

I like it's multy functional, support Trello, but of all it let me store tasts and calendar meetings in different flows so i won't miss anything. I was searching for smth like this for years!

Unfortunately now i need to go on pause with you because my team started ro use Miro for synchronisation, but i wish to come back here to Planyway - it's super quality convinient! May be you will make widget for Miro?

I use the Time Tracking feature on a daily basis. Being able to plot out what tasks took up my time and when lets me make sure I'm attributing my full workload to tasks.

I adopted Planyway with the intention of using the raw data myself. Unfortunately the metadata that Planyway gives the Trello cards is not in an externally readable format.... or at least I haven't figured out how to render it legible. Trello's API is *very* clear and well made. 3rd party visualization tools like PowerBI are simple enough to build on it. I want to be able to pull the time tracking entries from Planyway and correlate them with my own data from RescueTime to try and identify tasks that particularly suffered from interruptions and distractions. The way Planyway saves this data onto Trello makes this difficult.

Hello Nathan, thank you for sharing and for your kind review. Please get in touch with us at support@planyway.com, and I'll let you know how to pull the Planyway data for your machine learning models.

The calendar is visually appealing, with a great number of tools and functionalities that make the life of any manager that has a lot of content to organize, a lot easier. Being able to assign team members to tasks, color-code activities and put reminders, mostly connected to trello, are features that really helped not only myself, but my team to stay on top of things.

The connection with trello had a few issues right away, as for example, a team member connected their account but wasn’t able to see the calendar for days. It eventually was fixed, weirdly without anything specific being done. It seems as it just took a while to connect, time though that we had to improvise other tools for that team member. The lack of the reoccurring dates feature in the free version (when you create an event and select what dates that will repeat) in the free version, really pushes you to buy the paid service. This tool ends up being necessary for any company that has a higher traffic of posts and content.

- full cooperation with Trello and Google calendar - multiple board view - lots of views - member, day, ... - planning task in trello - great overview all tasks - ios app ...

- i use team members view - more cooperation/intuitive creating tasks - when i create new task in member lane. - it is minimalist look (it is great), but sometimes it looks immense - it wants some color categories, better visible diveders between list/voards...

I've been using Planyway for around 3 years now as my sole diary and organisation for content. It never lets me down. When paired with David Allen's Getting Things Done Philosophy, Planyway makes life easy!

No android mobile app (yet) - Looking forward to this feature

You can see all tasks from different boards on one calendar. Convenient addition of new tasks.

I couldn't figure out the Gantt chart. More Free Features

Hello Natalia, thank you for giving Planyway a try and testing it during the trial period. You can group cards on the timeline by the assigned member, label, list and even board. If you disable grouping, you'll get the simple timeline, which represents the Gantt chart. We'll be glad to help in case you have any questions, please feel free to reach out at support@planyway.com

Because I have many meetings on my calendar and a very packed to do list, the ability to integrate my calendar with my to do list and plan out my day is amazing. Just Trello isn't enough to manage my workload and schedule.

My only frustration with Planyway is that there aren't more view options. I typically use the 3 day view, but I would like the ability to increase or decrease the view size by a day at a time.

Ability to move projects around as timelines change

Nothing really. Would be nice if after I check Completed that it’d automatically move to my DONE Trello column

I like that this integrates with Trello and my Google calendar. I can create tasks for myself in Trello then plan out my tasks with Planyway.

I think it would be useful to be available to produce a report with any time tracked tasks. I was testing this feature to use for billing but ira really hard to see the total time for each project without searching a ton. Also the Google calendar integration is a bit off, the tasks do not appear the same way in the calendar.

Hi Mickele, super that you like the Google calendar integration which Planyway provides! It shouldn't be off though, please contact us at support@planyway.com, so we could check on that issue. And regarding the time tracking reports, you can export your Planyway data to Excel/CSV including all the tracked time in the tasks: https://planyway.com/help/features/export-to-CSV
