Has great potential. Some messy protocols such as not allowing activities to have complete dates in future (although theoretically true) can be a real pain. My team updates schedule between in the afternoon for a data date that is at 5pm the same day. The activities finishing that day should have a time of 5pm. App won’t let us go past 3:21pm if I am updating at 3:21pm. As a reviewer myself, there is no place to hit OK button on the P6 web once I override an activity input from the app. Thankfully 18.4.0 solved the issues of not syncing after 3 months of back and forth with oracle reps..
This app has some great potential. Extremely handy; the UI is clean and pleasing, albeit too simplified. An iPad version would be great with more screen area. In the app's current state, it is very limited. It works just fine with P6 v8.2. My reservations are that there is no way to filer or sort the activities. Steps are also not shown for activities that have steps. The resource is also not shown for activities that you are the owner of, but not the resource. The updates are lighting fast. As soon as you update something on the iPhone, your changes are instantly updated to P6 Pro after a push of the F5 key. And vise-versa. I wish there was an iPad version.
Unfortunately this app does not work. I read many other reviews about an issue preventing the use of the app. I have the same results. I’ve been in contact with Oracle. They cannot resolve the issue thus far.
