Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS lets you create a kanban view in a smart table, group records into card columns by the default field, and add records in the same view.	Microsoft Planner Board view shows tasks in a kanban-style board and supports grouping by bucket, progress, due date, priority, and labels.	Google Sheets canvas can generate kanban boards, group tasks by status or category, and support drag-and-drop updates, but the official page says this feature may not be available in the Sheets mobile app.	Notion Board view groups database pages by properties such as status, assignee, and priority, and supports filters, sorts, and card display settings.	Adobe provides kanban functionality mainly in Workfront, where boards include backlog, status columns, filtering, reordering, and work-in-progress management.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can switch between table-style data and a kanban board inside the same smart table on iOS. Distinct: The board stays connected to the same underlying records, which is practical for mobile task follow-up.	Compared with WPS: Planner offers broader task grouping options, but the official workflow is centered on a dedicated planning app rather than a table view inside a mobile office sheet.	Compared with WPS: Google supports kanban-style canvas layouts, but the official page notes mobile app availability limits for Sheets canvas.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers deeper database board customization, but setup usually depends on configuring database properties first.	Compared with WPS: Adobe's official kanban workflow is positioned in Workfront, which is closer to a work management platform than a lightweight mobile table view.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Kanban View is a practical choice when you want to review grouped smart table records directly on iOS and move between table and board layouts in one place. If your priority is mobile access to the same dataset in multiple views, WPS offers a more direct path; if you need a broader project management system, dedicated planning tools may fit better.
