"Speechify is absolutely brilliant. Growing up with dyslexia this would have made a big difference. I’m so glad to have it today."
Sir Richard BransonMost popular feedback for GamePlan
The software is completely logical. The key for me was to learn the underlying rules written into the software. It quickly became intuitive and, frankly, it's like having a superpower to be able to project the complex contents of my brain out onto a whiteboard, and have so many schedules tracked so that I've been able to focus on other things, and not worry about forgetting important elements of a plan.

I have looked at dozens of project mgt tools to manage my editorial team, business development team, manage tasks and projects and have found none better than 5pm. It strikes the perfect balance between ease of use and necessary functionality.

GamePlan reviews
After evaluating many popular project planning and project management applications I discovered GamePlan, which simply put is the only project planning and scheduling software that actually works in an intuitive and useful way. The scheduling and auto-gantt generation produces accurate timelines for projects based on tasks and resources (people). Entering timesheet entries updates the projects' progress, and is also very useful for invoicing purposes. Being able to add different work hours for each person, and adding regular meetings and vacation days to the plans, allows the scheduling to predict milestones and end dates surprisingly accurately. I highly recommend GamePlan. For software development projects it's a great alternative to (fr)agile, scrum etc solutions.

GamePlan is by far the most natural way to build programmes I have found (and I have used many planning tools including Asta and MS Project). Sequencing is done graphically by linking activities with arrows. Simple. Gantt charts are automatically generated from the activities and links that are done graphically so programmes can be presented in a more traditional way if needed. I have found the graphical approach on the big screen works brilliantly during meetings: It is so clear and intuitive that everyone (no matter what level they are) is able to understand and input their knowledge and experience. The team behind GamePlan listens to their users and welcomes feedback. It’s refreshing to be able to make suggestions, be informed on progress and then see new features regularly rolled out.

The tool is still a little bit hard to use for tracking of activities progress and related team management. But the development team is very responsive to customers' feedback and they are developing the product continuously, addressing all the relevant inputs and requests they get. That is at least my experience from the past few months of my usage of the software.

5pm reviews
I knew about 5pm when I started my own business three years ago because I'd used it at my previous job, and for both businesses, I've found it a lifesaver. It makes scheduling, keeping up with jobs, and keeping in touch with the people assigned to jobs easy and even pleasant.
- Jane R. Owner
For a simple project management tool that is online, always visible and great for tracking use 5pm. When our project went from a development stage to a maintenance stage I switched from an expensive PM tool to 5pm and have been very happy.
- Lora Z. Executive Director
The way the time-tracking widget always disappears from my icon tray. I'd think it was a problem with my computer, but others I know who use 5pm have reported the same issue.

Pros & cons
GamePlan
| Pros |
|---|
| There are many tools out there with many nice features,The visual planning is very intuitive and straightforward, which - coming from real-life experience - significantly helps all stakeholders to understand which activities are needed, their dependencies, complexities, and helps to reveal activities which might have been forgotten |
| The nice thing is that you can actually use the functionality for mind-mapping, too, and then transform it to activities flow (a project network diagram, actually, just much more easy to read and understand). |
| Cons |
|---|
| The tool is still a little bit hard to use for tracking of activities progress and related team management |
| That is at least my experience from the past few months of my usage of the software. |
5pm
| Pros |
|---|
| She puts my tasks in there and I am able to see them right away |
| This is a great tool for my profession |
| It allows me to track my time spent on a project, log progress, add details and watch the progress of my work |
| It's also super handy to have a living to-do list that isn't just in my planner |
| I knew about 5pm when I started my own business three years ago because I'd used it at my previous job, and for both businesses, I've found it a lifesaver |
| Simple to use, especially adding tasks with deadlines via email |
| Percentage tracker makes checking progress fast." |
| Cons |
|---|
| I have a hard time finding my tasks (completed or not) in the system |
| Sometimes I need to see notes/context on a task/project regardless if it's mine or not |
| It's difficult to find fings that are completed and our team all uses the system to vary degrees which makes it difficult to know where to know to look for notes, status, etc |
| Some technical glitches do happen, the most annoying is when a project deletes on it's own or we can't really decipher how that happens |
| The only feature that I have any problem with, is the Timeline feature." |
