 Biggest waste of money ever February 23, 2007

This software is awful. I used to use the desktop (stand alone) version and it worked just fine so I thought I'd give the Outlook version a try. Big mistake!
The interface is poor. On the "home" page you can't manipulate sections (resize, minimize, etc) and unless you have a lot of screen you won't be able to see all the data in each section without using the scroll controls.
Additionally, it loads VERY slow and, on two of my PCs, it eventually halts Outlook. No error. Just a complete halt.
As others mentioned, the support is awful. I tried their support chat and they asked me questions that I had answered in my initial message. And of course the support is scripted so I had to go back 3 times and the "halting" issue is still not resolved.
If you are thinking of buying this software DON'T! You will regret it. I wish I could give it zero stars it is that bad. And that is compunded by the horrible support.
Franklin should get out of the software business.
And it's too bad, because the idea of it is great.
excellent premise, poor execution ... September 13, 2004

I downloaded a 30-day "trial" version from the FranklinCovey site. The download took 2 hours - I haven't spent that long downloading a single file since I upgraded from dial-up! It took multiple attempts to get the program installed, I received no useful assistance from the company, and still could not get it to work properly. I'm very glad I opted for the trial first, despite the frustration of waiting. Wait for the company to make this more practical and more useful, before purchasing!

I can't believe I spent ...[money] on this worthless piece of trash. The idea behind it is good, but the interface is 10 X more awkward to use than Microsoft Outlook by itself. The tech support is a joke, and they even have the audacity to charge you... every time you have to call tech support. Can you believe it? THEIR product is screwed up, and you get charged to have someone help you with it.As the person below said, never, ever buy this product.

Sure, this isn't the Franklin paper planner or the stand-alone software, but that's not the point. Probably like many who were behind its creation, I wanted something that would let me use the advantages of Franklin Covey without maintaining two seperate address books just for email. Takes a little time to get used to, but this system has worked great for me.
Microsoft vs. Franklin Planner October 30, 2001

I was throughly disappointed when I got my new Pocket PC to find that this horrid software was,albeit free, included at all with my purchase. The Franklin software does not even come close the the Palm version, steer clear of this software, remember this is MICROSOFT OUTLOOK for franklin planner, not the other way around.
