For those who llike to plan carefully, and don’t mind spending ages doing so
Looking at Projekt’s icon (and name, come to that) you might be forgiven for expecting a full-on project management tool like MS Project. What you get instead is basically a list making tool, albeit quite a comprehensive one.
Lists can have up to 1000 entries, with an unlimited number of ‘children’ or sub-entries. Each item or sub item has a ‘completed?’ tick box and, in a nice touch, ticking a sub-item will partially fill-in its parent entry. When all sub-items are ticked the parent is automatically ticked too.
Items can have associated links to contacts, to-do items, meetings and memos as well as contain text notes. You can date items, assign priority values and even set alarms for their completion. Great, right?
Well, sort of. If you like making lists there is a good set of list-making features. The problem is that actually using them from your phone is rather fiddly and time consuming. It takes around five separate key presses to create a list item – not including the textual and time/date details. Ticking off items uses the 9 key rather than the more obvious central D-Pad button, etc.
It all works, but not without reference to the manual and more key presses than you would expect. In such a simple app this seems like a lot more work than should be necessary.
Ultimately, the app falls between two stools – not sophisticated enough for proper project management, but too complicated for the simple listmaking it actually offers.
