Dissapointing - save your money

I would like to write a glowing review here but the software won’t open a .mpp or .xml MS Project file. These aren’t huge files - just some test ones I have at work. But if it crashes and burns opening these, there is no way it will be able to handle a real project file.

And just in case someone says the files aren’t valid: these are .mpp and .xml exports from MS Project Professional 2013. I have no problem opening them in Clarizen and Project 365 (read only app - which works very well, btw). But, PPP will not open them.

It will let me create a new project from scratch, but again, I need to work on projects already created.

Maybe they will get their issues figured out, but until then…this was a waste of money.

** After emailing their tech support there are some clarifications that need to be made as they are not clear.
This application will not open .mpp files. it will open .xml files.
There is some issue where if you save the .xml file from Project it won’t open it unless you email it to yourself… I’m optimistic that they will get this figured out, but that’s a pretty major issue.

It has potential, but still not ready for prime time.
