OmniPlan 3.6 for iOS includes a redesigned inspector experience, full dark theme support, and a handful of bug fixes. This release also introduces the option for new customers to try OmniPlan for two weeks before purchasing the application.

• Optimized Inspectors — The Task, Resource, and Project Inspectors now open in a unified view on smaller iOS devices and as a unified sidebar on larger iOS devices, allowing for improved access to inspector contents. You can show or hide the unified inspector by tapping the “i” icon. When space is available, inspectors now persist on the screen, making it easier to make multiple changes to your project.
• Dark Mode — Enabling OmniPlan’s Dark Theme now applies the dark color palette to the full app interface (previously, applying the Dark Theme only changed the project’s color scheme).
• Free Downloads — OmniPlan is now a free download in the iTunes App Store. This change allows us to offer a two week trial and unlicensed read-only mode to new customers who download OmniPlan for iOS. This change does not affect existing OmniPlan customers, and the prices to unlock OmniPlan functionality (Standard and Pro) remain the same.
• Microsoft Project — OmniPlan now supports importing and exporting Microsoft Project elapsed time values.
• Settings — OmniPlan’s version number is now displayed in Settings app.
• Task Scheduling Inspector — Prerequisite and dependent task lists now fill the available space (these lists previously only displayed 6 tasks at a time).
• Toolbar — Toolbar icons and layout have been updated to better fit available space. Task, Resource, and Project Inspector icons have been consolidated into one “i” icon.
• Keyboard — Addressed a bug that could cause the on-screen keyboard to appear the wrong shade of grey on some devices.
• Localizations — Elapsed duration key label is now localized in the duration keyboard.
• Microsoft Project — Fixed a couple of bugs related to Microsoft Project import/export.
• Network View — Fixed a bug that could prevent Task Inspector navigation arrows from functioning if tasks were added in Network view immediately after project creation.
• New Tasks — New task title text is now automatically selected after task creation to allow for quickly renaming tasks.
• Server Repositories — Renamed buttons to reduce confusion when setting up a new server repository.

OmniPlan 3.5.2 for iOS is a minor update focused on bug fixes.

• Microsoft Project Import — Fixed a regression in our Microsoft Project import tool that could cause some .mpp files to fail to import.
• Scheduling — “Resources Work Independently” once again correctly respects earliest resource availability.
• Stability — Fixed a bug that could cause OmniPlan to crash when opening a file with external dependencies.
• Stability — Fixed a crash that could occur when attempting to undo leveling.

OmniPlan 3.5.1 for iOS is a minor update focused on bug fixes.

• Gantt — Addressed a bug that could cause the Gantt chart to scroll to start of project after adding a new task.
• Scheduling — Resource leveling no longer ignores project non-working days.
• Scheduling — Restored the ability to set effort and duration independently when no resource is assigned to a task.
• Scheduling — Restored the ability to change a task’s effort when the task’s resource allocation is set to “adjust task effort.”
• Scheduling — It is once again possible to enter negative values for task lead/lag time.
• Split Tasks — Tasks split into three segments now behave as expected.
• Task Cost — Fixed a bug that caused OmniPlan to fail to read task cost for tasks with fixed durations.
• Stability — Rejoining a split task no longer causes OmniPlan to crash.
• Stability — Fixed a crash that could occur when adjusting slack limit for a critical path.

OmniPlan 3.5 for iOS introduces support for elapsed time values for task duration and lead/lag times. OmniPlan 3.5 for iOS also introduces 1Password support and includes a wide range of bug and stability fixes.

A note about backwards compatibility: OmniPlan 3.5 for iOS and the corresponding Mac release, OmniPlan 3.7 for Mac, contain changes to OmniPlan’s scheduling logic, syncing, and change tracking. If you’re syncing OmniPlan 3 projects between multiple devices, you should update all installations of OmniPlan to the most recent version.

OmniPlan 3.5 for iOS requires iOS 10.

• Elapsed Duration — OmniPlan now supports elapsed time values for task duration and lead/lag time! By default, OmniPlan calculates task duration and lead/lag time from the project’s work hours. Entering an “e” before either value will now convert it to an elapsed time value instead. Need to wait for the paint to dry before you can take the next step in your project? Enter “48eh” in your “Let paint dry” task’s duration field to tell OmniPlan that the next dependent task can begin Monday morning if the paint has started to dry by the end of the day Friday (and assigning additional resources to watch the paint dry won’t help it complete any earlier). OmniPlan does not yet support importing or exporting Microsoft Project elapsed time values.
• 1Password — OmniPlan now integrates with 1Password for iOS for OmniPresence credentials.
• Scheduling — We cleaned up and rewrote the code OmniPlan uses to schedule project timelines. This is intended to make project scheduling more accurate by addressing things like rounding errors. As a result, you may notice slight changes in your project’s schedule after installing this update. If you are confused about why your project’s schedule as changed, or feel that it has changed in a way that it shouldn’t have, please contact our Support team!
• Publish/Subscribe — Substantial updates were made to OmniPlan’s publish/subscribe mechanism in order to improve speed and better handle authentication challenges.
• App Lock — It is no longer possible to use keyboard shortcuts when the application is locked.
• App Lock — “Password” placeholder text is now localized.
• Change Tracking — Change tracking now correctly reports changes that affect both task duration and task effort.
• Date Formatting — Lead time in the Task Scheduling Inspector now correctly respects specified duration date formatting.
• Group Tasks — Fixed a bug that could cause group shading for nested groups to draw incorrectly.
• Group Tasks — Addressed a drawing bug that could occur when creating heavily nested groups.
• Localization — Korean and Brazilian Portuguese localizations no longer use English placeholder text when creating a new task.
• Localization — Dutch localization now exports task and resource HTML reports in the correct language.
• Microsoft Project Import — Fixed a variety of bugs that could block Microsoft Project files from importing correctly.
• New Tasks — New tasks are once again created immediately below the currently selected task.
• Publish/Subscribe — Changes to a project’s start date now publish properly.
• Publish/Subscribe — OmniPlan now syncs more happily with Server.app.
• Publish/Subscribe — Addressed an encoding issue that could cause a 404 error for account names that include an @ symbol.
• Publish/Subscribe — It is now possible to delete more than one project at a time from the Server Repository.
• Resources — Changing a resource to the “group” type, then switching back, no longer leaves the resource’s units at 0%.
• Stability — Addressed a crash that could occur when some Accessibility options were enabled
• Stability — Setting the date scale to “Day” while viewing all non-working hours no longer causes a crash.

OmniPlan 3.4 for iOS introduces Brazilian Portuguese and Korean localization support and “App Lock,” an optional privacy feature for locking access to OmniPlan on your device via TouchID or a password.

• App Lock — When App Lock is enabled TouchID or the App Lock password is required to access the application. This feature is intended to add an enhanced layer of privacy, preventing access to OmniPlan’s contents while your iOS device is unlocked. App Lock does not encrypt documents or block access to OmniPlan’s contents via iTunes File Sharing. App Lock passwords are device specific. If the App Lock password is forgotten, deleting and reinstalling OmniPlan will disable the App Lock feature (note: local data should always be backed up before deleting and reinstalling an application to prevent data loss).
• Localizations — Added support for Brazilian Portuguese and Korean. If you notice issues in either of these newly supported languages, please let us know!
• Resources — The Equipment Resource icon now matches the other resource icons.
• Scheduling — Addressed a bug that could cause resource schedule exceptions to be ignored when exceptions were also scheduled in the project calendar.
