I so wanted to like this app ...
But it crashes every time I do anything. I can't create new tasks, calendar events or finish a sync without it crashing. So much for that idea...
I love this app
I use it all the time and have for years.
It's functional but not great
The app seems functional. I would like to see a dashboard similar to the online interface with a drop down menu to access the various functions that are currently the home view. There also needs to be an Apple Watch app to make this app competitive with other productivity apps.
No contact sync
Since there is no contact sync it's basically of no value.
Corrupts calendar data
I am still trying to fix all of the repeating annual events this app corrupted months ago, when I allowed it to have access to my calendar.
Half Baked App
PlanPlusonline has been a credible planning tool for several years. The idea being that you could access your plans from any computer. The company has tried to write apps for phones and pad devices. They have been doing this as I say for several years and the still HAVE NOT integrated the complete program into this app yet. I considered using the program last January, and after a trial, was assured by a salesman that the program would be complete in a couple of months. It's still has not happened. It is only partially operational. You would think that the FranklinCovey company could do better than this.....

Decent try....needs to improve
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 PlanPlus 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 the app 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.

Doesn't work at all
I downloaded this app to my iPhone. When I open up the app, it asked me for my account name, my username, and my password. I am a new user, so I don't have any of these. It does not give me an option to create a new account. Without an existing account there is no way to create a new account.
Unreliable syncing & Bad design
Bottom line: The syncing doesn't work right and the tasks are not even designed to work like the PlanPlus 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 PlanPlus site that still shows on the iPhone and I completed a task on the iPhone that still shows as incomplete on the PlanPlus site. Yes, I did the manual syncing from the app 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 PlanPlus online?!
I was VERY excited to see this app appear only to be horribly disappointed that so many things were out of whack with it. There several other areas where this app 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.

Not ready for release
This app is further evidence that, when it comes to technology, Franklin Covey just doesn't get it. Not only can you not create categories in this app, you can't even use the categories that you create on your desktop. (You have the choice of Business or Personal ONLY.) Furthermore, the app is only about sixty percent completed. Every single section of the entire Planning part "...isn't quite done yet." Considering that the Planning method is the ONLY thing that makes the extremely high prided Franklin Covey service any different from two dozen other services, that is unacceptable.
Since I live in a mobile world and Franklin Covey can't provide a useable mobile service, I'll not likely continue their pricey subscription after my trial period.
Edited to add that tasks marked completed in this app do not sync with the desktop version.
Once again, the highly priced Franklin Covey is an absolute failure when it comes to technology. One would think that they would eventually get SOMETHING right, if by pure ACCIDENT.
