PlanPlus Reviews

Bottom line: The syncing doesn't work right and the tasks are not even designed to work like the this app Online software.

Initially syncing worked. After spending an an entire day entering calendar, tasks and sales contacts, it now is not syncing correctly. I deleted an appointment on the this app site that still shows on the iPhone and I completed a task on the iPhone that still shows as incomplete on the this app site. Yes, I did the manual syncing from PlanPlus several times to no avail.

Also, the standard Franklin Covey Tasks status is different on this iPhone app. It has a percentage checkbox and all the tasks default to "in progress". Why would they make it so different than the Covey method and their own this app online?!

I was VERY excited to see PlanPlus appear only to be horribly disappointed that so many things were out of whack with it. There several other areas where PlanPlus falls short, but space is limited on this review.

It is SO ironic that a company who's mission is to help you Focus on Life's Highest Priorities and Executing on them well can't manage a reasonable software release.

Was hoping PlanPlus with plan plus trial.
Took 10 minutes for test tasks to even show up.
Changes made online never showed up on PlanPlus , mobile is too important to not have reliable sync.

Oh how I long for the day someone develops a simple Franklin Covey planner system

I was a huge Franklin Coven fan back in the day. Was hopeful re: this app and the associated app...but it keeps crashing and login keeps failing.

Hugely disappointed...

Downloaded PlanPlus . Shows me the login screen. No link to create a login.

Need to junk and restart. It almost feels like FC has used all the bandages they had on doctoring this up for 2 decades. The palm handhelds were much better. That’s not evolution. FC is supposed to be about progressing and evolving. Highly disappointed in PlanPlus at best.

I thought this would be perfect since I’ve used it online in years past. It’s terrible and I was never able to sync me calendar. Poor support!

Trying to use PlanPlus to create tasks and it crashes constantly. When i can add a task and attempt to add notes it crashes and i lose my entry. Need to fix PlanPlus otherwise product is unusable

I love the Franklin Covey planner! I used it for 17 years. It is sad that this product is so buggy and has been for years that it would be in our best interest if XRM would sell the rights to someone that cares.

I have been a fan of Franklin Covey for a number of years. This product is not a positive representation for FC due to the ineffective sync process for mobile devices. From a time management view, it is ridiculous.

As it is, it’s a productivity app that defeats its purpose. Tasks don’t sync properly. Try to create or edit a Big Rock and get a black screen with no keyboard. No way to create our edit them. Values, roles, goals, and other features on web but not on app or on app but not on web. Please update to mirror web.

Not aligned with web - 5
This has Big Rocks, which I love, but the web app doesn’t. Can’t edit them easily either. I’m a huge fan of Franklin Planner but their computer offerings (web, phone) are terrible, not easily integrated with their own products or with Apple.

Cancelling my subscription and going back to Outlook and Apple.

I find PlanPlus to be somewhat adequate to monitor my daily tasks and calendar but not much else. There are far too many fields that are not accessable in PlanPlus that you have access to on the web app. I will be submitting my suggestions and requests about the web app to the support team and once that is tweaked I will look at sending them for the iPad and iPhone app.

An update of the interface with the iOS is greatly required.
Consider integrating this with the calendar, email etc.
PlanPlus should be a best-seller if properly designed and promoted.
Currently, there seems to be more focus on the web app.
After several years of not using PlanPlus and hoping it had gotten better, I synced to it and all my contacts got scrambled.

Difficult sync. Loses appointments. Sad

Thanks plan plus. This is a decent tool for planning. But needs a lot of work if you want to make it better for the this app web version. I'm in sales and I want to use both the web version of the tool and the mobile version of the tool to monitor my Opportunities. Opportunities are not in the plan plus mobile version, the application doesn't automatically sync with the online version. Like I said, a decent first try but it needs more work. Even if you were to charge to make sure that PlanPlus info matched the plan plus web version, that would be ok. Insightly does a nice job of this but i like your prioritizing functionality better.

I have loved this program since it was on paper. I was so excited to go online. For many years it was an OK app, however now it will not sync between the phone and the computer. I have taken many of the webinars and tried talking to people in person, and I get nowhere. If they would fix this it would be a great app. I gave it a three star because I have some loyalty, but if there was another similar app out there, I would switch right away

I’ve been using the Franklin Planner method day planner for 32 years. I’ve tried most, if not all, mobile Apps in search of one that works. Some other Apps get close and are good, but they are just To-do list apps and go out of business. this app Online not only follows the Franklin Planner method, it does not go out of business. I use this app Online on my iPhone, iPad, Windows 10 desktop and Windows 11 Laptop and they all sync perfectly. I was having issues initially and Tech support helped me, gave me individual support and did not brush me off or abandon me. Most tech supports try their best to pass you off to a community blog and get you off their backs. PlanPlan Online Tech support was committed to help me. I finally discovered that I was using PlanPlus wrong and not following the Franklin method, shame on me. I was using it as if it was one of those other to-do list Apps and not a true Day Planner. PlanPlus still needs help in other areas, but they will fix those. It is the Best Day Planner out there.

Tyler worked hard to take care of some minor issues. Very happy and satisfied with the product and the impact it is making in my life management and not just time management. Thanks Tyler.

A special thanks to Tyler Carver for taking the time to setup this app with me. I went from a desk full of paper scraps to organized syncing with my phone in about an hour.

I recommend that any new user or trial subscriber spend the time with Tyler to start out right.

He worked with me to find a good solution for a public calendar issue that my organization had.

Thank you, I have been looking for a replacement for the Franklin Planner software that I was using in 2005. None of the other platforms had the features that I was looking for.
