Mobile App is not Reliable
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.

Best Day Planner App
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. PlanPlus Online not only follows the Franklin Planner method, it does not go out of business. I use PlanPlus 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 the App 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. The App still needs help in other areas, but they will fix those. It is the Best Day Planner out there.

Very disappointed
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!
Major Update Required
An update of the interface with the iOS is greatly required.
Consider integrating this with the calendar, email etc.
This app 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 the app and hoping it had gotten better, I synced to it and all my contacts got scrambled.

Will not sync
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

Please update to align with web
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.

Wanted it to work….run, do not waste your time
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.
Create a login link missing
Downloaded the app. Shows me the login screen. No link to create a login.
Big disappointment
I had used plan plus on my PDA years ago and came back to it, hoping for the same functionality. Was I disappointed! This app is web-based, not phone-based, which in 2020 seems ridiculous. There are communication problems between the phone and the web apps. The phone app does not have the same depth as the web app. In 2020?! I lose repeat appointments...repeatedly. The program is buggy as all get out.Embarrassing sync problems between the app and the web based program. The screen freezes once a single task is prioritized, causing creative gyrations to enable scrolling again. Same thing when moving from day to day. Often nonsensical strings of characters are added to text. For all the hype of precision and excellence touted by emails I don’t need from the company, this program comes up short time and again. All of this for an outrageously high annual subscription. Currently, it is a second rate product far below the quality of the company.

Really want to use this, but can’t
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.

App needs a LOT of help
I’ve been using the PlanPlus online in connection with the app for over a year. In that time I’ve determined that the app is basically useless. The most annoying issue is the “sync” button. After launching the software one has to sync. This process takes too long and my phone can’t go dark or the sync process ends. After a lengthy period the sync never seems to upload data from the app to the software. Data seems to only go one direction This was the one reason I wanted the app. I didn’t rate this a 1 star because I can at least see tasks (after a lengthy wait) on my phone. Just can’t add them.

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

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

Crashes constantly
Trying to use the app 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 the app otherwise product is unusable
App is not even close
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 this app at best.
Very happy
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.
Finally Found my Online Planner
A special thanks to Tyler Carver for taking the time to setup PlanPlus 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.

Limited Functionality for iPhone and iPad
I find this app 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 the app 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.

Could be great
Difficult sync. Loses appointments. Sad
Needs a huge make over
Oh how I long for the day someone develops a simple Franklin Covey planner system
