Microsoft Planner App Now Available on Android and iOS

Microsoft's Office 365 Planner service was first made available as a First Release Preview back in December of 2015.

Following that its availability was expanded in February 2016 to more Office 365 customers including Government, Education, and Nonprofit subscribers.

In June of the same year the service reached General Availability and started rolling out to subscribers of Office 365 Enterprise E1-E5, Business Essentials, Premium, and Education plans.

Shortly after that release, Microsoft hosted hands-on demos of the service which is now available on-demand from Microsoft Mechanics on YouTube.

That now brings us to last week and the availability of Microsoft Planner mobile apps for iOS and Android so that subscribers can access the service while they are mobile and away from their computer.

Currently the mobile apps do not have push notifications, the ability to create new plans, nor is it integrated with Microsoft Intune. Those features are expected in the coming months however, as you are using the apps you can submit feedback or feature requests via the Planner UserVoice site.

Senior Content Producer, IT Pro Today (Informa Tech)

I served for 29 plus years in the U.S. Navy and retired as a Master Chief Petty Officer in November 2011. My work background in the Navy was telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well with what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena.

My first website – AnotherWin95.com – came online in 1995. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and WindowsObserver.com is the result of the work I have done on that site since 1995.

In January 2010 my community contributions were recognized by Microsoft when I received my first Most Valuable Professional (MVP) Award for the Windows Operating System. Since then I have been renewed as a Microsoft MVP each subsequent year since that initial award. I am also a member of the inaugural group of Windows Insider MVPs which began in 2016.

I previously hosted the Observed Tech PODCAST for 10 years and 317 episodes and now host a new podcast called Faith, Tech, and Space. 

I began contributing to Penton Technology websites in January 2015 and in April 2017 I was hired as the Senior Content Producer for Penton Technology which is now Informa Tech. In that role, I contribute to ITPro Today and cover operating systems, enterprise technology, and productivity.
