This blog is supposed to be a review of Plan it app, at least that
is what I thought. And when I started to type I realised, I have never reviewed
an app before and my blogs are not even about reviewing anything. The other
realisation was I have seen this app materialise from concept to UMLs, from
UMLs to wire frame and then to code and finally a classy beautiful piece of
software, or in apple’s tough ‘APP’.
So this write up is
dedicated to the journey Plan it app made from papers to phones. The plan it
concept had sprouted in our work place before I joined. When I saw it was in
papers my colleague was working on its wire frames, well it did sounded like a
solid concept. One day we get a notice that plan it was moved to priority
app and its dead line was fixed (don’t ask me why?).
So coders loaded with logic and geared up for coding, and
designers stared laying out layouts and balancing the designs. And as of what I
did, well I started panicking. Fresh out of University, where I never had to
market a product for a living but only had to make sure all references were
right and no plagiarism in my essay for learning (scores). I started doing what
I could do for Plan it, plan all the ways I could spread the word about it.
Well slowly
plan it’s functionality was complete, the working was done. It sure looked
functional but nothing like how it looks now, well if I have to compare it to
something it would be a caterpillar. Even as a caterpillar it sure was good
looking and it was appealing enough for me to buy.
Here is the catch with designs, just when you think it
is ultimate or perfect someone comes by and suggests a change which would make
its designers think “there is a scope for improvement”. And thus the two
screened, productivity iOS app diva, morphed from a caterpillar to a butterfly
which is functionally excellent and simple with features like task sharing,
automatic sync if you are part of someone’s plan, getting group work done
through phone and communication via chat feature like just slide over the plan to chat. That is synonyms for ease and
flexibility in app language.
Apps make their journey from it's creator's mind to our phone, Plan it app's journey was not an extraordinary one but that did not make it any less exciting.
Plan it helps in maintaining the task over phone from your grocery
list to work project, Plan it dares to bare, all with style of course.
