Fantastic PM Tool / ...with some output bugs – Merlin Project: Gantt + Kanban Review

Working still with the trial version, but will be subscribing. Great tool for plotting out complex projects, durations, dependencies. Very frictionless touch interface. Perfect integration of Kanban sorting and the report creation rapidly creates meaningful snapshots of project status for distribution to project teams. I work in MS Project on the PC, and have OmniPlan on the iPad. Merlin Project is far and away the best of them when it comes to on screen planning, having a very powerful tool at your disposal. Kanban integration and Reports far surpass both of the others. But...... Project output to pdf, print etc. is a work in progress and creates a pretty big stumbling block when it comes to distributing all of the great information that’s possible to generate in this app. Font color changes to white or disappears. Reports crash when exporting to RTF, text disappears altogether when converting to PDF. Best I’m able to do is export to MS Project which is a program I would love to never use again.. I contacted tech support a few times, they were incredibly responsive and are clearly working on further development. I’m rooting for them. Despite the output bugs, the tool and the team that made it are too good not to support. Incredibly powerful for PMs on complex projects. Hope they work out the bugs soon. Willing to help if I can.
