Summary: Junk
Review: As a long time planning software user (Ecco, Outlook, Palm, PocketPC etc.) this is the worst piece of junk I hve ever had the tragedy of trying to plan with. As much as I admire Covey, he needs to take responsibility for this and change it or offer refunds. Tech support were insulting.

Summary: Great PC performance, lousy Palm performance
Review: Can't agree enough with the other reviews. Running Windows 2000 and Outlook 2000, Pocket PC and a Palm 505. I really like the way the software works in general, but it is incapable of functioning properly with HotSync. Somebody actually charges money for this?

Summary: Plan Plus for Outlook trial download - it [is not good]
Review: DO NOT try the Plan Plus trial download. It is really buggy especially when synching with Palm. Had to hard reset my Palm and reinstall my Palm stuff on my laptop. Installation seemed easy enough. Sluggish when launching Outlook. Synching created three e-mail fields on my Palm. First field contained the name of the contact, with garbage in the other 2 fields. Lost 95% of my e-mail addresses. No confirmation message when deleting mail from Delete folder. Activating a "mailto" in a webpage is very slow. Looks like FranklinCovey wanted to get the product out the door for a Fall launch more than anything else. Perhaps technology should be left to the people who know it. And FC should concentrate on its core competencies.

Summary: Get the free trial first...

Summary: Dissapointed in Franklin Covey!
Review: I am really disappointed in Franklin Covey (FC). I was a realy FC planner person who switched to a Palm. I really missed my FC planner, so when I saw this software I was really excited. I had hoped and they had sold me on all those things that I was missing with my Palm, that I had with my planner. I sync in at work and at home. This, unbeknownst to me, is not supported by this software. After many problems, and after this software destroyed my Outlook databases, I am trying to remove it from all locations, and just going back to Outlook. I may even have to get my old planner out and start buying the refills. I am really disappointed in FC and feel they did not test this product enough, and just pushed it out the door. If I knew who to talk to, I would as for my [money] back! My recommendation, SAVE YOUR MONEY! Chris Stone...

Summary: Works Great For Me
Review: I am running outlook through a Exchange Server and installed Plan Plus without a hitch. I followed the installation instructions and it integrated great. NO problems with the outlook nor my exchange server. I have installed on my terminal services and had no problems with that at all. I am running Windows 2000 with Outlook 2000. I sync with my Handspring Deluxe without any problems. The only problem I ran into is that you need to run Palm OS 3.5 to view the FC calendar. No biggie, I am able to the Palm Calendar and it syncs perfectly with the FC views. I have been using the program for less than 30 days and find the views very useful and the wizards fantastic for organizing and focusing my business. The only thing I wish would have been added is the ability to add color to appointments (a feature Outlook could use)

Summary: Great!
Review: I am running WinXP and OfficeXP(2002), and Plan Plus installed seamlessly. I have a Palm VIIx and the HotSync installation went off without a hitch as well. I highly recommend this software for anyone who has read and follows the Seven Habits. One word of caution: follow the recommended steps for installation, especially with respect to the first time HotSync operation.

Summary: Buggy software, lousy support. Don't make my mistake.
Review: I bought this software despite the poor rating I saw everywhere, basically because I didn't find an equavalent alternative. That was a mistake. Not only it is buggy and parts of it cease to function after a while (!), customer support is lousy and useless. And even though they couldn't solve my problem after 8 email requests, they wouldn't even refund my money!. Don't buy it!

Summary: Does not work
Review: I could not install it. It kept saying I need 64 K of ram when I already have that.

Summary: Worst interface for creating and prioritizing tasks
Review: I don't think very highly of Outlook to begin with, so perhaps the Franklin development staff had their work cut out for them, but regardless, this has got to be one of the worst interfaces for creating and prioritizing tasks I've ever seen. Want to create a task for tomorrow? You can't just select the day and create a task. You have to create it for today, then go to the Quick Prioritize screen or open the task and then change the date. Want to reprioritize a group of "B" tasks to "A" tasks (since they are all "B" by default")? You can't select multiple tasks in the Quick Prioritize screen and drag them to the "A" column. You have to do one at a time. There's plenty more annoying things like this. The PlanPlus Home screen is not bad, but it takes forever to come up sometimes (and I have a 3.06GHz machine with 1GB RAM), and if you use Outlook in offline mode, you'll eventually see a glaring bug as you click through messages in your inbox (something about the offline folder file being in use by the maximum number of applications - brilliant). I love the Franklin method but I'm sorry to say that this software is a waste of time.
