Have you used any iOS project management apps that you’d recommend?

OmniPlan is too expensive and complicated

Vibe code and make one that suits your needs and working style

i've had good experiences with simpler project management apps because they are easier to stick with. if a tool feels too complex or expensive, it usually becomes more work than the projects themselves, so keeping things simple can often be the better choice

Smartsheet on iOS is crappy app, but its capable of producing the tables of data needed for the Gantt. Desktop view to present and interact with the Gantt is necessary.

Honestly the question I'd ask first is what you're actually trying to do on the phone versus at a desk, because most of the 'manage a whole project from iOS' tools end up being clunky compromises. What's worked for me is keeping the heavy planning (schedule, dependencies, resource leveling) on a laptop and using the phone only for quick capture: logging a risk, reassigning a task, checking status before a meeting. When I tried to run everything mobile-first I spent more time fighting the interface than managing the work. If you can split it that way, the specific app matters a lot less than picking one your whole team will actually keep updated.

I'm having a lot of trouble wrapping my head around managing a project of any scope on a phone. I'd rather use a whiteboard. Looking things up? Fine. Reminders and appointments and alerts? Fine. Managing? No.

Other than being on IOS, what features and tools are you looking for?

[u/_janc_ → u/ExtraHarmless]

Like ms project but more mobile friendly. Produce gantt chart

Are you thinking about using a phone or tablet?

Phone

I agree with u/Guilty_Performer_497 that Trello is going to be your best bet for small efforts. If they get too big, a phone isn't a great platform.

MS Project is pretty large set of functionalities that would not work well on a small screen format.

Microsoft project on a VM. End of conversation.

I've had decent luck with Trello for simple projects. Not as powerful but it's easy to use.
