Hey Franklin Covey!

Give us a Task app that works.
Model it on your paper versions and the PocketPC version.
Include a calendar.
Give it the ability to sync.

The FCtasks app for iphone is a big disappointment! Since I bought the app 8 months ago, there has not been even one new updates for the app. Most of my other apps have updates on a regular basis. It’s almost as if Franklin Covey just made the app and then forgot about it’s existence! Not to mention that I paid $5.99 for an app that continually disappoints, but for that price, I’d expect them to be trying to improve it for the long term.

Besides the fact that this app tends to run slow on my iphone, just this week, it decided to quit opening. Each time I try to open the app, it just shuts itself off. Since there is no way of backing up this app (another disappointing point) I now have lost all of my tasks and to do items. What a rip off!!!

If you’re looking for good productivity software, the one to work with is Daylite and their Daylite Touch iApp. Really good stuff!

I am a lifetime Franklin user. First the paper system and then the Windows version of Daily Task on my Pocket PC. I recently switched to the iPhone and bought FCTask. I am so very disappointed. I really thought Franklin would have made this program as user friendly and intuitive as their paper and Windows products.
Here are my 3 biggest complaints…
1. It does not have a separate screen showing the tasks due on separate days. I want to “flip” through my days and see the tasks for each days like flipping through a notebook system.
2. Where is the calendar? Instead of a calendar that pops up and allows me to select due dates or forwarding dates I have a date “wheel”. Excuse me? What is this silly wheel? I want to see it on a real calendar.
3. It won’t sync! What good is this tool if I risk loosing all my task lists because the program won’t back them up anywhere.
On a scale of 1 to 10 I’d give it a 2.

Long time fan of Covey. I am disappointed that there is no interface with alarms or other feedback for reminders. Also, an interface to use on the mac/pc to do planning on the laptop to transfer over would be good.

I bought the app to keep track of what had been completed, but when I hit history it kicks me out. I called and was told to reinstall it again sometimes it does’t download right. Well I did and it didn’t. I feel like I just threw my money away.

FC Tasks for Iphone sucks.

They sold it to me and there is no documentation on how it works. For a simple game this might be Ok, but for a complicated Task manager, I don’t think so. Give it away if you want to pull this.

I expect more from a Franklin Covey product. Called up FCMobilelife support they said there was no help available! Boy that will make for real happy customers.

Say away from this rip off!

I choked at the price too, but I’m looking to replace my big Franklin Covey notebook this year. So far things have been well. The hardest thing was figuring out how to get stuff on the Master task.

Sometimes task management is different than just checking off a task. Here are some demos I found on YouTube that might help you understand time management a little better.
