Merlin - Project Management App Reviews

I already felt that the initial investment was high, but loved the features and layout of the desktop app. Now you expect me to pay this much more for the iPhone limited functionality application.... not going to happen. The iPhone is only good as a point of reference.. not for managing a project. I had higher expectations.

I am a long time Merlin user and had some sympathy that the firm produced just a project viewer for the small screen iPhone. However, the iPad is another ball game. There is already SG Project with a very basic quasi-beta version. In its 2.0 or 3.0 version - which I expect in the coming months - these apps will be quite useful - hopefully. And there is Omniplan, which I never used but will have a quality comparable with OmniFocus and OmniGraffle. The OmniPlan for iPad is announced for this year and will blow the Merlin viewer for iPad away. The iPad is made for productive apps, not for just a viewer solution. Seeing the overwhelming amount of one star ratings above I give up any hope that Merlin2 will be my app of choice for project-management. Thanks, but no thanks. So I will use either SG or OP, definitely not this M2 app.

Merlin iPhone/iPad app is free however to sync with your Merlin project management mac app is not free; it requires an additional license of $49. Once purchase it performs sync over the air (pairing iPhone with your Mac) if using wireless not 3G/cellular. If youre a user of Merlin the iPhone app is a convenient add-on to glance at any projects and task without being in front of computer but it comes at a cost.

this app is just viewer which is not that useful ,everything still has to be done on osx app which is free to download but to use. dont bother .

Will be removing this app. It starts out with wanting me to add a server! But then there is no help for what they are talking about. This app does not appear to be for the beginner. It says it works on the iPad but the help screen only talks about the iPhone.

The desktop version keeps crashing whenever I try to connect to any project! Thus - app completely unusable.

My favorite, easy to implement, elegance and powerful

Unusable

I was almost persuaded from using the iPhone version after reading some of the reviews. But it is evident to me that some people are mere fools. They do not take time to read the instructions and expect wonders. I too got the error notice saying it cannot connect to the sever. But,when I read the instruction to turn on "publish" it worked properly. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS.WATCH THE MOVIES It is very user friendly.I am not a project manager and I am finding it very easy after looking at the brief instructional movies and reading the instructions.

This app hasnt been updated since 2011. Why?

Merlin iPhone app syncs up to your Projects on the go - full featured yet simplified Project Management features.
