Perfect project management app = pen and sheet of paper or whiteboard with stickers.

Anything computer-based is too boring and not very helpful in real life. Project management is a process, not an app. It should be done by people, not computers, and it requires energy and discipline, not algorithms or bar charts.

This may sound crazy but my suggestion for a project management app would be to include some funny or gameplay elements. How about a lottery inside project management app? ("Complete a milestone on time and get a chance to win a case of beer!"). Something to entertain and encourage poor souls who would be forced to use the app.
