Big news today: https://blogs.office.com/2017/05/31/announcing-the-microsoft-planner-mobile-app-for-iphone-and-android/ Planner mobile apps are here! I'm interested to hear your likes and dislikes about the app. The product team uses your feedback to build the best product possible, so the more the better : )

You should be seeing it shortly if you can't already!

Awesome! I've only had a little bit of time to poke around in it, but overall I'm liking what I see. The only thing that got me was trying to figure out how to mark a task completed. Didn't realize that I had to tap the ellipses (...) on the task. I was looking for a checkbox. Other than that, I think the only thing this app really needs (and Planner as a whole) is notifications about ticket assignment and when a task due date is upcoming or past due.

I really appreciate the feedback there. As you may know, there is still a 1 to 1 relationship between a plan and a Group, and that single plan can surface in Microsoft Teams as well. We are working to sync all plans across Teams and Planner within the next year.

Hey - it's been more than a week and I still haven't seen an update to the Planner app for iOS. Are you sure you guys actually submitted the update? I'm pretty sure Apple doesn't take more than a week to review double-dot updates from large, established app vendors.

Based on the early reviews in the App Store and in my personal experience, this app seems incompatible wiht a branded login page, so our users are unable to login. All our other O365 apps for iOS work fine. Can't believe this wasn't tested. Hope you guys can fix quickly and push an update out ASAP.

  Hi Stephan - Thanks for the feedback! We are currently working on granular notification control, including push notifications on mobile.
  
  I will pass along your message regarding how to change status within a task!

  Unfortunately we have the same problem as Kevin, on iOS the app wont display our ADFS v2 login page, just returns to the startup animation. Other Office 365 apps are fine, and Planner works fine on Android.
