TOO SLOW, TOO MANY BUGS!
This is, on paper, an excellent idea and has lots of potential. Unfortunately, it SLOOOOOWS your system down to a crawl -- which is frustrating to the point where I don't want to use the product.

As I said, its a great idea for me. I have been searching for a product that could help me track my many projects without the overkill of a MS Project.

It also has many annoying bugs that need to be addressed.

The program has great potential and if it worked as it claims I would give it 5 stars -- but, it can't live up to its promises and until Intuit addresses these -- DON'T BUY IT!!

Too bad -- I love Quickbooks and am disappointed in this product, especially since this is version 2.0.

I wish I had that slow, unstable, featureless version
Spare a thought for us international users, who can't even get the slow, unstable and featureless version 2.0 of the product.

I am based in Ireland, and so require the UK version of this product to integrate with Quickbooks. Unlike the US version, this costs 200 euros per person, three times the price of the US version.

To add to the insult, only version 1.0 is available in the UK. The difference is, version 1.0 does not synchronise emails. I know a team member sent an email, but I can't see it. This product has zero value. It is a shared address book.

I contacted Quickbooks support (April 2005), and was informed that they "are not shipping version 2.0 in the UK, because they only started shipping versin 1.0 in September." This out of date version is clearly selling like a dog, but they will wait until the shelves clear before shipping the 2004 version. With luck, that will be out of date by then too.

Save your money (and time)
I am very sorry to say that all the bad reviews are correct. I thought they were being to hard on Quickbooks. I thought that maybe, if you took your time and didn't expect too much, that the software could help you say organized to some extent.
My apologies go out to all the reviewers. I was soooo wrong! I spent hours trying to make this work for me. All I got was messed up customer records in quickbooks & outlook, which took me hours to fix.
Even when using the program, there are problems. Example - I emailed an attachment by clicking on "Email" in the contact's file, he could not open it. If I send the same attachment through Outlook directly, no problem. What's the use in having that email ability if it doesn't work.
When you transfer names from Quickbooks to this program, the address goes under "Bill To" - OK. Now sync to Outlook - hey, there is no "Bill To", so guess what - you get NOTHING! So now I have 1800 names in my outlook with no info.
I could go on, but you get the point. This program would be bad even as a beta version, but this is version 2!

THE WORSE!
As insulted as we were to buy 5 licenses for version 1.0, version 2.0 is still as buggy as version 1.0.Total waste of time, money, and cdrom space!

The bigger they get the worse they are.
I purchased this software after extensive conferencing with "Quick Books SALES STAFF, all good and fine, they pick up the phone spend unlimited time with you. Tell you everything is fine answer all your questions

Now when you purchase the product there is the RUB!!!!

#1 the product does not work, in any shape or form. Tey as one might.
# CSR is off shore so you are on hold over an hour. Than they tell you that even though you called the # on package , for some reason ( heaven only knows) they are not the right department ( if they are not the right deptpartment why do they put that # on the box, to call) , Then they say the right dept is # an other # and they transfer you. Well you guessed it, the "other dept" is closed.

If they planned to make you miserable they could not have succeeded better.

Take your money and not give you a thing for it, These poeple should have some serious competetion or maybe this is the American Way now.

Good luck if you BUY anything FRom THEM!!!!

Great product. The best CRM for Mac
As a Mac user, I always complained about the lack of a good CRM or contact application for Mac. While PC users had Golmine or Act!, no professional application was available for Apple users. Daylite is a great application for professional users. It has so many features and details that the more you use it, the more you start to love it. It really helps you to better manage your contacts and projects and improve your productivity. The Daylite application, to really shine and become a terrific tool, needs to be combined with the Daylite Mail Integration Module. Without it, its not as useful. I am giving Daylite only 4 stars and not 5 because it lacks a printed manual in the box (and you really need it, this is not an easy to use software as soon as you start working with it) and most important, because it does not includes the Mail Integration Module, which the company sells for an additional $39. It definitively should be included. Other than that, I highly recommended. ... Read more

A great computer organizer
In the eight years I have worked in a church office, I have always used paper calendars and planners. I purchased this software two months ago and I don't know how I did without it before! The software does everything that I need it to do. I am especially impressed with the variety of printing options for calendars, to-do lists and combinations. It makes printing out weekly staff calendars a breeze. I also use the repeat option all the time for to-do items and dated events. The address book is a nice feature, though I have not used it extensively. I also like the notebook feature for quick lists. I do not have a palm pilot, so syncing it is for me, no problem. So far, this software, especially for the price, is invaluable to me!

For the price it serves it's purpose.
I bought this software to avoid using accounting software for expenses and an organizer software for appointments. So far it is all that I expected for the price.

Pro: The password organizer was a big plus with this package. I have always wanted a secure way to save my many logins and passwords. For this aspect alone I was pleased.

Con: The expense report does not have a rolling total and you can't enter negative amounts.

Networks for 2 or more users; great Palm synchronizing
We have owned this product in Versions 7,9, and 10 for our law office for several years. If you need for more than one user to access the program simultaneously, as we do in the office, the program networks seamlessly. You could pay a fortune for a multi-user calendar like this from other vendors. If you have more than two users needing access, you can buy a license. I have seen many complaints in these reviews about technical support; I have e-mailed a couple of times and received a thorough response within 24 hours. The interface for the calendar and address book is easy to use. I highly recommend the program because of features, ease of use, and price. We recently bought a Palm Zire and synchronized it with this calendar; it works perfectly.

very good address book
I bought this software for the address book feature as an upgrade/update to Day-Timer Address Book 2000. Although as the other reviewer says there is room for improvement, I'm very happy with the program. I was even able to use the import feature to bring in my info from DTAB. The import worked fairly well and saved me hours of rekeying.
I miss DTAB's double-sided printing wizard and have not been able to get Anytime to print properly on both sides of a page, but other than that I've had no problems. I like the address book view page and the print layout views that looks onscreen like the actual printed book.
I haven't used any of the other program features and can't comment on them.

Do NOT buy this loser
Acutally, it should be zero stars, maybe even minus ten stars.
I bought this worthless piece of junk application thinking it would be a suitable replacement for the Palm Desktop software I use now. Like the Desktop, it comes with an expense manager, notepad, task manager, calendar, contact manager, and such. It also comes with a wide variety of pre-designed forms. This is what really excited me.
What the outside of the box DOES NOT TELL YOU is that the only things it will sync with on any of the PDA devices it claims to support are your calendar, to-do/tasks and contact/address book entries. The remainder of your PDA data will sync into the old Desktop application, forcing you to have to retain it. You cannot import them into AnyTime.
So, I decided to scrap AnyTime. This is where the next heartache begins. The uninstaller leaves the conduits in place that sync into AnyTime forcing you to have to uninstall the Palm Desktop as well to remove them.
Help is non-existant as well. Individual Software will respond with apologies and tell you they will forward your request but no one actually helps you.
My recommendation -- look elsewhere for an alternative to the Palm Desktop. I haven't found anything yet. I had thought for a few hours I had, but... So, before you even try it, be sure to back up your data from your old desktop environment. My back up was two weeks old so you can figure out what I lost in the process of learning a lesson.
To the buyer beware. Do not buy anything from Individual Software. Take it from one who knows, you're making a major mistake if you do buy this application. ... Read more

Good Product !
Very easy to use and customize.A little problem with listing multiple events in one day but overall a very good product.Would recommend.

Still the Best Calendar Creator
I've read reviews where someone had an installation problem and a few more where they had trouble running the program.

There is absolutely nothing hard about opening your CD or DVD drive, dropping in the CD and following the instructions on which installation you want to proceed with. It's child proof!

And once the program is loaded on your harddrive, it's absolutely one of the best program's developed for the PC.

The only thing still missing from the earliest version of Calendar Creator that I miss is the individual pics of the moon-phases with the discriptsion underneath. I wonder why they haven't brought that back, since most calendars you see have the pics of the moon-phases.

Can export to PDF !
I've happily used several versions of Calendar Creator at home. I choose a different category/color for displaying each family member's appointments, so it is easy to see who is busy at a glance. The repeating events algorithm is very powerful.

I upgraded from 6 to 7 when Broderbund added the capability to drag & drop events from one cell to another. Contrary to another reviewer, I CAN move events using the drag and drop method or by using the Cut/Copy/Paste capabilities.

In 2004 we switched from 7 to 10 as soon as we found out that Deluxe 10 can export to PDF.This is fabulous!I still print out a multi-week calendar for our refrigerator, but now I ALSO export it to a PDF file and then email it to my spouse at work, so he remembers what's up. We installed version Deluxe 10 on a Windows XP machine with no trouble.

Watch out if you want to integrate this with your Palm Pilot. I wanted to sync the Calendar Creator calendar data with my Palm, but keep the Palm address book.This is not possible. For versions 6,7,8,9, and still for 10 you have to use BOTH the Calendar Creator calendar and address book or NEITHER.Therefore I don't put calendar data onto my Palm.It wouldn't mesh perfectly anyway because the Palm calendar a) has a less sophisticated repeat algorithm and b) doesn't use categories.

Wow, wish I saw before I bought
Terrible, terrible, terrible. Good luck placing a photo of your own into this thing. And once you do go look at the print preview - what happened. Total crap.

Hate it, Hate it, HATE IT!!!
This is by far the worst calendar program EVER!I absolutely abhor it.It is not at all user friendly.It randomly prints boxes where you didn't create them.The functionality to move calendar entries from one month to another doesn't exist...you have delete the entry and completely recreate.Unfortunately, I'm stuck with it because my boss likes the way it looks...too bad he doesn't have to struggle with it! ...

Trashes Outlook 2003 Install
I installed the trial version, downloaded from the franklincovey website.It crashed twice during install, and now MS Outlook takes several minutes (yes MINUTES) to launch.I tried to uninstall this piece of crap, but it will not uninstall.

Do not pay money for this product!

Do NOT Buy FranklinCovey PlanPlus
I have never written a review of a software product before. I felt compelled to write one about FranklinCovey's PlanPlus For Microsoft Outlook 2.0 because I hope to that it will dissuade people from wasting money on this product.

Until I bought this product, I had no beef with the company FranklinCovey. I have been using their paper planner for the last 6 years. I had hoped that PlanPlus would simplify my life by allowing me to use planning tools while in Outlook. In reality, I have had nothing but trouble with the nearly impossible installation, the buggy product, and the infuriating tech support.

It started when I tried to install the product on my laptop. I worked with their tech support online (they charge if you want to actually speak with someone). I went through quite a few tech support people, many of whom seemed to repeat the same mantra of "uninstall/reinstall" which I did countless times. I really had to push them to get them to help me. When they were stumped and they said they would research the issue and get back to me and of course they never did. EventuallyI got someone online and I would not let them go until we resolved the installation problem. After 5 days of working at this, it was finally installed. To my horror, it slowed down outlook so significantly that I decided to uninstall it.

Around the same time I was dealing with problems with the install on my laptop, I was trying to also install this on my desktop PC. I worked with tech support for about 3 weeks off and on. Again, they were stumped. They kept repeating the phrase, "We will get back to you at the earliest." I never heard back from them. Now I wonder what they meant. Was it the earliest ice age? The earliest millenium? They kind of left it open for interpretation. It's been several months now and I have wasted so much time on this. I was never able to install the product, I kept getting an error message and the installation would stop.

I can't return the product because they don't accept returns on software if it has been opened. All I can do at this point is vow never to buy another FranklinCovey product again and encourage others to reconsider their plans to purchase this product. If you are a diehard Franklin Planner user, like I was, I would recommend that you stick with the paper planner - it's far less buggy and you won't have to deal with an indifferent tech support that will "get back to you at the earliest."

Perhaps 2.0 is better
I wouldn't risk it based on the reviews here. The first version ruined my Exchange profile - now I can't have tasks in Outlook -EVER. FC Support is worthless. So ironic that a company that puts so much emphasis on integrity and excellence put out such an incredibly shoddy product. I'm sorry - I can't trust a company that would release such an incredibly bad product.

Slow, Crashes, but nice idea...
I'd wait to buy this until they come out with version five or so. By then, the bugs might be gone. As it is now, I'm using Outlook 2002 on a Windows XP 3ghz machine with 1gb of RAM, and it takes me 34 seconds to load Outlook (time for the splash screen to go away). Occasionally it will tell me it had to disable PlanPlus on startup as well. The memory usage (if you leave it open all the time like I do) is high as well, although I don't notice it much, having such a leet box (translation: fast computer).

I do give them 2 stars instead of 1 because it's pretty. I decided to use it based on screenshots alone. Outlook 2002 on its own is really dull, especially after you've looked at it daily for years. The extras (like the Compass, Mission/Values, and Goals) are very similar to their planner kits' first few pages. So if you liked those, I'm sure you'll enjoy the extras on PlanPlus.

Nice interface, but really slow
I am running PlanPlus on a 10 month old Gateway 450 laptop. XP is my operating system. Accordingly, I think my computer, while not brand new, ought to be able to accomodate the general office tasks I ask it to perform.

Plun Plus has a nice interface-- I like having all the outlook features in front of me and it's relatively easy to use the FranklinCovey tools. That said, it takes forever to load Outlook now and probably every third time I open an email box, I get 90 seconds of the hourglass. The irony is stark: this tool that promises increased productivity has become a barrier to that objective. I wish I had paid attention to the 30-day try-out period, because I would have sent it back. Wish I had bought it on Amazon, too, because I would have payed considerably less. ... Read more

We have owned this product in Versions 7 and 9 for our law office for several years. If you need for more than one user to access the program simultaneously, as we do in the office, the program networks seamlessly.You could pay a fortune for a multi-user calendar like this from other vendors.

Works well
Have been using this (actually version 9) for a week or so.It seems to do everything you'd want, and is very similar to the paper day-timer I used years ago.

No problems. No complaints.

Do not buy if you want support
Anytime Deluxe 9.0 sounds good for the money.Mine quit working on WinXP after 2 days, and tech support did not reply to my complaint for over a week, when I was given the address to their FAQ page.It contained no helpful information. After calling them, the tech support person admitted there was a problem, and had me modify my registry.The software ran for about 2-3 days, and then stopped working again.I have called and written emails and tech support has not responded in over a week.Even at its best, the software is mediocre - so save your money and buy some software that works and that the company will support.

Uncooperative and Annoying
I bought Anytime because I already had version 2.0.I liked the earlier version, but many of the things the older version had were either missing or less user friendly in 8.0.I couldn't load the files from version 2.0 directly into the new, (fortunately the old computer is still running so I could manually copy one to the other.)The entry process had a lot of unecessary steps which slowed down the process.Version 2.0 reminds you of missed date entries, the new one doesn't.

The version 8.0 has a lot of bells and whistles, like fax/cell/watts numbers, direct connection to e-mail, and a few others.The technical assist to Anytime is non-existant, either by 3 no-responce e-mails or 45 minutes on the phone.I'd stick with version 2.0 if you can load it into your computer, otherwise stick with Outlook.

This software is very good for the price
I have looked all over for some good organizer software.Places like IBM want 80 bucks for lotus organizer.This software is only 30 bucks and does everything i need, sets alarms for appointments, keeps track of my to do list, and keeps addresses.If you want some good organizational software that wont break your piggybank but has a nice looking easy to use interface, this software is great. ...

more work needed
My fisrt impression was wow, what a great product, until I used it....
I have the Windows version and found the following problems:
1.) Does not export to ACT, even though the product claims it will.
2.) Does not allow you to import from one database you created into another.
3.) Does not support contacts/addressbooks stored on a shared/network drive. If you have an Exchange or Domino server you will need to create a local file to store your contacts.
4.) Could not get synchronization to work with two pocket PCs, and one Palm OS device.
5.) character recognition accuracy is really poor for cards that have a dark background or pictures.

The only plus is the hardware's small footprint. It is also a twain based color scanner which you can use to scan in old pictures.
