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

Im used to using a old fashioned paper planner. Franklin Covey to be exact. But I needed to get with the times. I needed the same options and performance I had with paper but in a mobile app. I needed it to seamlessly share between my iPhone and IpadPro. Benjamin is everything I wanted and more. There was of course a bit of a learning curve. I emailed them a few times and their customer service was kind and very quick to answer my questions. There is one issue I have. The cost. I had to buy the iPhone app, iPad app and pay a monthly sync fee for them to share info. I can kind of understand the paying for both apps as each is optimized for that device. (I say kind of because the differences are that major) I dont agree with the monthly sync fee and I emailed them to tell them so. I liked and needed this so badly that Im willing to pay for all the fees. But the sync fee should be eliminated. PERIOD. They know we want to share info and they are taking advantage of us. The cost is still much cheaper than Franklin Covey paper planners so Im not going to complain too loudly. Would I go with Benjamin again? Absolutely.

Have used FC paper planner for years and tried to go digital before but never found anything comparable that worked. Well I found it! Simple setup and I am up and running in a matter of minutes. Only improvement I would recommend would be print functionality and add levels on the projects.

I was so thrilled to see this app. I can finally follow 7 Habits planning digitally! Like others there are a few additional paper planner additions/tweeks here and there that would be nice. Hopefully it is still a work in progress and will get updated.

Do not pay for this! I used Franklin planners for several years and was hoping Id be as pleased with this app. Its too basic and frustrating. I wish Id saved my $10!

Long time Franklin Planner user. Love this app!!! Would love to have a notification or reminder badge feature.

I love it! I wanted an app that was similar to the tried and true Franklin Planner system that Ive used for 16+ years. The only complaint I have is my inability to see tasks Ive planned in the future.
