The best planner app - bar none!
After spending countless number of hours and wasting more than $50 on woefully inadequate planner apps, I have finally found an app that works.
Being a power user I needed a performance planner app that offered cross-platform functionality between my iPhone, iPad and Outlook on desktop application. Using Google tasks (which I highly recommend over iCloud tasks due to limited functionality and limited number of planner apps), this planner meets my requirements for robust syncing and functionality.
The app is crisp in layout, has an excellent engine for syncing and offers a fair bit of customization. Note: It could use a few minor improvements (e.g. changing color of text for tasks, providing a task view that does not show completed tasks and others) that I hope will be included in future improvements.
If you are wondering how I sync google gmail and tasks to Outlook, I use gsyncit which is also an excellent tool for bringing everything full circle.
I have tried CalPad, Plan & Note, gtasks, Planner Pro, Opus Domini, Planner&, and so many others. They are all a bunch of junk. For instance, this is the only tool among the bunch that correctly categorizes a task as a task, not an event... if you know what that means, this is the right app.
This is the real deal. I love it and think you will too. This is a great planning tool and I highly recommend!

Update: Ive been using now for the past month, multiple times per day. Still believe this is THE BEST planner app available. However, there are a couple issues that need to be addressed at the next version having to do with task management. I do not want to delete my completed tasks and need to keep them for future reference. But each day I may have 10+ tasks so the views are
becoming quite cluttered since they are not filtering out the completed tasks.
1. On the Day view do not show completed tasks.
2. In the task view, when choosing My Tasks or the Due Date view do
not show completed tasks. Only show completed tasks on the Completed
Task view.
One final suggestion - please allow reoccurring tasks, similarly like
what is allowed through google tasks.
Minor improvements will enhance this already excellent app.

Update 2: Just found that the app does not allow sending an invitation for events to participants. Unfortunately after posting an event, I have to go Apple Calendar and add invitees manually. This is another minor enhancement that needs to be done ASAP.
