Desktop App for Planner?
- Not currently,
There is a uservoice for it here
https://planner.uservoice.com/forums/330525-microsoft-planner-feedback-forum/suggestions/34471954-desktop-application
Would recommend you vote on it to push it up the agenda. Voting for the uservoice will also notify you if it has been picked up by Microsoft. I would also keep an eye out on this tech community for Planner AMA's where you can also raise this with the product team. There is a big appretite to push Planner forward so hopefully, we'll see something in the future
Hope that answers your question
Best, Chris
MicrosoftColinFBMH I realize this thread is almost 2 years old, but want to share a hack for this that was recently shared with me. While there isn't a desktop app, there is a way to get you to nearly the same experience:
1. Open the MS Planner app in the latest version of the Microsoft Edge browser (this is important)
2. Click the three horizontal dots to the far right of the URL bar
3. Hover over Apps
4. Click "install this site as an app"
This will give you the ability to pin it to your taskbar, creating an experience very close to a desktop app.
Hope this is useful!
@Jenn_Marescalco Just the job! Thank you for sharing this hidden gem!
I can see it is a similar idea to the Lists "desktop app", which I only discovered by accident a few days ago. It makes me question whether there are any other "desktop apps" that I don't know about yet......
