WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

“A fantastic app that has transformed my lesson planning...I have dumped my old paper planner for good. This is an excellent app.” - benjro

“I love this program! I can create my lessons in a jiffy- dare I say lesson planning is almost *fun* now?! I can even do lesson planning while on the go because the program now syncs with the app- SCORE! I love being able to be out and about and not have to be tied to my computer, but if I think of something for a lesson, I can just plug it right in!...And all of this awesomeness is on the FREE version. I love this software!!!” - Tater and her tots

“So much better than planning in a paper based planner. I like being able to check my lessons or add to them as ideas occur to me using my phone on the go.” - KT28363838

“Will render you pencil & paper daybook obsolete. It is fantastic for your day to day planning and makes printing off a paper copy for a supply teacher super easy” - Mr.Esss

“I feel as though I would not be as organized without Chalk! And the fact that it’s free makes it even more amazing! As we know as teachers we spend a lot of our own money on supplies for our students and having a program this amazing for free means I can spend more on my students so thank you!” - btpuggy

### 5/5 — I love it.

*2026-07-31, version 2.30.5*

I love that it so easy to change my schedule after I have it all set up. For example, when the school changes my prep times or the speech schedule changes, I can easily move things around by changing the times.

### 1/5 — Good app; no updates or way to communicate

*2026-02-26, version 2.30.5*

Plan board is a good app for teachers and it has a lot of positives, but when there is a glitch there is no easy way to communicate or send an email to Planboard to let them know. Very frustrating.

### 5/5 — The Best Teacher Planner App Out There!

*2026-02-25, version 2.30.5*

Started using this three years ago, game changer - link all lessons in to MS SharePoint, easily share plans with other staff, change an amend between devices, helpful widget on my work iPad screen, use standards to organise curriculum and map out curriculum standards, as a HOD it goes beyond a simple teacher planner. Now all staff in my department use this. This app has genuinely changed the way I work as a teacher, and saved me some time.

### 1/5 — Glitch

*2026-02-24, version 2.30.5*

There seems to be a glitch on the app where it is no longer showing what day on the schedule it is. It is located on the bottom left hand side when in the planner view. It only shows “chalk.rotation.day_number”, instead of “day 1, day 2, etc…”. Please fix!

### 1/5 — Error messages

*2025-09-13, version 2.30.5*

Added one class to my schedule and it refused to add any more even on different days. Error messages that told me to submit a ticket. Gave up. Trying Canva.

### 5/5 — Beat free tool out there.

*2025-09-05, version 2.30.5*

I have been using this app for 10 years. I can carry over lessons, schedules, whole units from year to Year. I can love things around easily and set a reminder for any upcoming date in the year. I LOVE this app and recommend it to all my student teachers.

### 1/5 — Mobile version is glitchy and useless

*2025-08-14, version 2.30.5*

Mobile version won’t let me schedule a class earlier than 9AM, and is just generally glitchy. Laptop browser version works great.

### 1/5 — Couldn’t use it

*2025-07-27, version 2.30.5*

Couldn’t even use the app. It wouldn’t let me click on the plus sign to add my first class. Deleted app. Looking for another one. May just go old school and write it all down.

### 1/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2025-07-21, version 2.30.5*

I never got past serting up. Every time I tried to add a class to my schedule it would say something went wrong. Got tired of trying.

### 5/5 — Great tool!

*2025-07-10, version 2.30.5*

I have been using Planboard for years and love the flexibility it provides. My school previously had a three-day rotating schedule and this app helped me manage the schedule with ease. When our school schedule changed, it was easy to make the new one. I also love that I can reuse lesson plans super easily from year to year. An improvement I would suggest is for the mobile app to be able to access the unit description pages. Sometimes I have a note/idea I would like to leave myself for a lesson, and if I'm at a computer to access the web version, I will put ideas in the unit planning space. The mobile app doesn't have this option. Small fix, but would be great! Overall, I tell every teacher I know about how great Planboard is!
