Decent so far

I’ve just started using the app so I’ll provide an update when I get farther into its use.

Positives:
- I like the overall framework for how the app works.
- It provides a nice diary overview of the lessons and you can assign them to units
- Decent functionality for adjusting days/times for classes/lessons. ie: I could cancel days where school wasn’t in session, adjust times for individual classes or all of them at once.
- You can pull reports on the standards you’ve used, the assessments that were used for the standards, etc.
- You can attach anything you need to the individual lessons.

Negatives:
- The import of the standards is painful. I used the .CSV process which I’m very familiar with. Still ran into problems as it wouldn’t upload a large number of standards at once (I broke them into smaller components) and it usually failed if I had text over 50 characters long in the standard description. I input those manually by copying/pasting into each of the standards afterwards.
- The app has frozen a few times. Just restarted it and didn’t have an issue.
- Some functions that you think are intuitive aren’t. For instance, I would try to right click on the course name to make changes but wouldn’t get anything. To make a change, I would have to go to the menu bar at the top.

Overall - it’s a good concept so far. I didn’t need all of the bells and whistles from many of the other planning software programs/sites and this one fit my overall needs. Basically, clunky in some respects, with some freezing issues; however, if they can provide updates to fix them, it could really be a great program.
