Too many frequent frustrations...
I’ve been “using” this app for just over a year and I just decided to write a review, mainly out of frustration.
First, I love the idea behind this app. The concept has great potential.
However, consistent issues keep me from rating it any higher:
The app frequently crashes, especially when using the desktop version (I have both the iPad and desktop versions). In fact, it crashes so often that it is predictable; every time I try switching to a custom field it crashes.
Cross-platform compatibility is an issue. If I build a lession plan using my iPad and then upload it to dropbox, then the first time I open the file it defaults to a blank planner. The way I have to open a downloaded plan book is to go to file>open recent. Sure, not the biggest deal, but frustrating all the same. When the file does open, however, the customizations I’ve made, such as individually color-coding courses by class section, don’t show up.
I tried using it during the fall and spring semesters last year, but always quit out of frustration.
I decided to review it today because I’ve had enough. I’ve been trying to create lesson plans for the first and second weeks of school, but after multiple crashes today I’m done. Inconsistencies and frequent crashes keep me from using this app. I’d love a refund!
