Benjamin – Task Manager and Calendar Inspired by Benjamin Franklin for iPhone App Reviews

I look forward to every Benjamin upgrade.

I use it every day. I would like to be able to split "Todays Task" into Todays "Work"Task and Todays "Home" Tasks. Also would be nice to put in future appointments, and be able to set the "Start of Day" time.

I think it is pricey for what it does. Additionally, I was asked to subscribe ($1.99/mo) just to be able to sync (sync what??). The calendar does not have capability for reminders. The tasks lists stay visible even after completion. So one ends up having TMI to scroll through. The project file does not list the tasks completed or dates of completion. I would be nice to have an outline view/tree capability. I am using it because I spent what I see as a lot of change for an app- Ill give it 1 more week before I go back to paper.

Better than Covey. Would like to be able to scroll through task list

Benjamin is probably the best planner for the iPhone I have used. A few more updates would make it outstanding! I cant plan a task forward in the same menu as the "Completed, in progress, delegated, etc". It would be nice to have a fwd arrow and then place it on a date in the future. I would want that task to stay "viewable" on that day and then show again on the day in the future I planned the task. Instead of Edit and then rearranging the "1, 2, 3" priority, I would like to be able to click and drag the task. It would be nice to select an option for which view opens first. I always click calendar and then todays date because I like seeing the calendar, events, notes, and tasks. This should be an option for the default. Thanks for the great app!

I have always been a Franklin/Covey enthusiast. This app, hands-down is one of the best on the market for organization and goal setting. Its simplicity and and user-friendly attributes, make it a must-have for any one striving to keep a schedule and stay on point with goals. it is a great app.

Dont buy if you think you can sync without an fee. Didnt see that one coming. Huge disappointment.

Its just like the Franklin system which is great. I would love if you could add "tasks" to a task and if you could add "projects" to your project.

Should use system font - WAY too larger and too much white space Settings should allow you to display what you would like: Which calendar Tasks above calendar on day view 1 line or multi line display of task Default start page You should be able to create a new project from a task, not have to leave the task to create the project Priority should be on the left of the task Notes / comments for task should be easily accessible Ability to forward a task to another day from the TASK LIST page not having to go into each one individually

The only system that keeps me organized is Franklin. I gave up my paper Franklin Planner when I got my iPhone in 2007, but now have the best of both worlds. I have tried almost every other iPhone planner app without success. Thanks a million for giving me back the best ever planner! Also love the recent update that lets me sync my Franklin between my iPhone and iPad.

If you enjoy using the traditional planner. You will love this one. Wish it had some more features like the goal planning.

Really enjoying this app. Was reluctant to leave my pen and paper but love the simplicity of this and having it available on my phone all the time. I would really love it more if I could have the option to see my tasks a week at a glance as well as just the current day.

I really like the digital version of this planner. Its simple and easy to use. And I love the fact that I can synchronize between my iPhone and iPad, and easily edit items in my calendar or day. Im also very happy to discover that going paperless with my day planner has actually helped me to be more productive than I was before. :) Sometimes it has a minor glitch or two and if I could change some things it would be this: 1) add a category for roles and goals; this concept is really the backbone of the "Benjamin" system that many of us know; 2) add a section for NOTES and/or a JOURNAL that are not necessarily attached (ie buried) with a calendar item or a daily task; 3) dont automatically add project tasks to the master task list - but offer the option; 4) add some options for shopping lists, expense tracking, auto mileage, exercise log, etc. - some of the popular add-ons we had with our paper system. 5) maybe add a possible way to back up or archive the calendar somehow. Thats all for now. Thank you for this amazing app!

I used to have a Franklin paper planner and this is pretty much the same. What would be great is if the app was available on the computer too and could sink with the phone app.

I have been looking for this for sometime. This rivals the paper version. I have only had it a day so lots to explore and discover. So far I like it. Already thinking ahead to the archival function that will have to be built into this so this app doesnt hog up the phone memory as it is used more. Also, wonder what it would be like if this app could be set to open automatically upon opening the device to the to do list or calendar and to do list.

I especially like the way it syncs with my other calendars. Just wish I didnt have to pay extra for the phone app or to sync.

Just like the original Franklin Planner!

I would just like to see a way to filter the email function so I can send out an email to my team to know what has been done and what is still on the table. Thank you very much!

I was a paper Franklin Covey planner user for years. When I migrated to a digital calendar I had no good substitute for the task list. I looked through the store again and found this one. It had great reviews and it sounded like it was what I was looking for. It was! I now have tasks ranked and scheduled, and a master task list. It shows what Ive moved to a new day so I can see which tasks keep getting pushed off and re-evaluate them. Well worth the money.

Using the Benjamin App one of the best thing thats ever happened to me. I no longer have to carry around a big booklet. Everything I do is simply handled by my phone. Wow!
