Franklin Planner authentication error

Anyone else having authentication issues after updating to jellybean? I like this app and paid a lot for it. I'm really annoyed that I'm now locked out. I've tried contacting the developer, but no reply. Going to wait some more, but in the mean time thought I'd ask on here if anyone else who has bought the app and updated to JB no longer has access.

I've just bought this app and am working with it. It does crash from time to time, but seems to be ok and very useful. I'm planning on shelving my franklin binder from the last 20 years and begin using this with the the 10.1 note, completely paperless. I just hope the company keeps developing it......

Having issues with creating a Scheduled Event and saving using one of my Google Calenders.....

Every time I create a new Schedule it gets saved but the second I change the date and come back it has disappeared.

Anyone else come across this?

I don't have any issues using this particular Google Calendar with the default Calendar App installed on the Note 10.1 nor any of mt other phones and tablets.

Also having Google syncing problem

I am just trying the demo and finding the same problem... when I put an all day event in over 2 days... it shows over 3 days (includes day before for some reason?). Otherwise the app is really good. Need the sync to be accurate or else won't have any confidence in scheduling dates :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudu7559:
It does have further issues too......... If you input an appointment for a certain day, the GMT is always wrong (FPlanner only recognizes Seoul timezone (GMT+9) and there's no way out of altering it), so you need to input the FPlanner appointment, then go to Google Calendar and fix the mistake. I don't like blundering apps, so I've just made the decision of uninstalling it for the time being.

The seconf issue is worse..... No chance of inputting a place for the appointment......... I onlt tested it on the trial app, don't think the unlocked one doesn't have this bug. it's profoundly blunt to develop an application not having the same Google calendar fields.

I love planners and paper diary replacement, this Franklin wouls have been fantastic if the developer had gone further than what he'd done........... wimpy app. :(

Cheers and have a HNY :)

I'm using this app (full version) but do not use the cal function, as it cannot sync with my work cal (exchange).

The rest seems to work, albeit more functionality would be good. I've made the decision to go paperless this year.

I've contacted the vendor, but tbey are not conversant in english. Just enough english to tell me that. But im gonna plug on and see how it goes ...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudu7559:
This sounds pretty important to me.......... can you perform a test for me and make sure the full version doesn't have GMT-timezone problems?? Please let me know, if the full version wasn't affected by this, it would be the last call for the purchase......... looking forward to your feedback. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjohnso1:
Ok, I'll check later when I'm back home. I bought my version from the Samsung app store, but Just saw this morning there is now a version in the play store. Do you know what the difference is? Play store version costs half of what samsung app store cost.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjohnso1:
Ok, not sure how to test best, but i entered two appointments. One in my google calender within franklin, and one in the franklin cal within the franklin program. Both appointments were entered at the time that put in. The times did not change to korean time zone or something. Seems to work...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudu7559:
This was very kind of you....... thanks. :)

I'll try to download the PlayStore version later and I'll share my feedback once I test the app.

Hey, i've si ce asked them what the difference is between the Google play store variant and the Samsung app store variant. Below is the answer

webplan2010@gmail.com> wrote:

Hello,

You can use two FranklinPlanner apps in your device, Samsung Note 10.1.

One is "FranklinPlanner Note 10.1" that is *for Note 10.1 and you can

buy it only at Samsung Apps store.

The other is "FranklinPlanne Activity" that is for smart phone and you

can buy it only at Google Play.

UI and function of "FranklinPlanner Note 10.1" is different from that

of "FranklinPlanne Activity".

So their price is different.

Please check the App Screenshots in Samsung store or Google Play.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Webplan Inc.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dudu7559:
My answer is that FranklinPlanner for GN10.1 doesn't fit Note's features despite the developers claims it does...... many mistakes, no match with Google Calendar fields, a lot of lags, S -Pen capabilities (the most outstanding feature that really takes thecake) are mostly unworking or dismissed. So I advise you guys not to waste money for the full version - this app would only do our head in :(
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjohnso1:
Too late. I bought it alrwady and am using it. Agree the programs does not make the best of the note's capabilities, but the options for similar programs are limited. Any suggestions?

Im going to plug on and try and make the best of it...we'll see.

After the last update (v.1.8.2 dated 2013-jan-21) the app crashes frequently, mostly after or during the usage of the "Pen Plus" tab (to take handwritten notes).

It could also be a problem of incompatibility with JB, since, when I had ICS, I didn't have those frequent crashes.

I've the free "Demo" version and was considering buying the full version, but, if that's the situation, I'll give up.

Anyone else (with JB or ICS) is having the same problems after the last update?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjohnso1:
I do not seem to have that problem, I hove the sore version but the full paid version. I take notes all day long, the program crashes from time to time,but not too often.

The company that writes this software told me a new version will be released in Jan still to fix the crash issues,
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iRock48:
I installed the demo version on my 8013-JB Note and it crashed like 3 times in the first 5 minutes. I did get it to sync with Google Calendar but was freaked out that it would somehow erase all my Google Calendar information so I deleted the app. I use Business Calendar Free which is pretty nice.

Hopefully once the revised version comes out in the US i'll try it again but for now it's not worth the hassle.

I liked the layout though, it was pretty nice.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ce:
I have the registered version since october 2012. Although the developers are very responsive the development pace is slow...very slow. it sometimes takes months to solve a single bug and the app still isn't reliable. I think their development resources are limited.

However, a calendar app that "forgets" appointments (from google calendar) is not tolerable, the weekview doesn't display events after switching weeks. Very nice UI, ease of use is questionable but some nasty bugs are spoiling the fun. I'm hoping the promised new release brings some improvements.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjohnso1:
Yes, agree. They told me they would have an update out in January still.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
It seems that today's update (v. 1.8.3 dated 2013-jan-25) has solved the frequent crashes I had with the previous version (v. 1.8.2).

I haven't experimented much with it and I don't know if the sync problems (with Google Calendar) have been solved too.

If the developer is reading this thread I'd suggest him to:

keep on with your work: the UI's general idea is great (and could be improved) and I mostly like Frankiln Planner's possibility to attach handwritten notes (almost unique... apart from S-Planner rather blotched possibility to write something in the month view in landscape mode);

make the pen handwritten notes a little more pressure sensitive or let the user adjust the pen's sensitivity to pressure;

communicate (in the vendor's site) the changes/bug fixes made with each new version;

if possible, switch from SamsungApps to GooglePlay or keep the app in both sites.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
This should be the 21 days demo v. 1.8.3 (solving crashing issues with respect to v. 1.8.2).

I've extracted it from my GNote 10.1 (N8000). I'm in Europe and downloaded it from my country's Samsung Apps site. Anyway I don't think the Samsung Apps' country matters in the app's apk.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
Since today I received a new update (for the 21 days Demo version) this is the latest version 1.8.4 (as of today).

I also think that this app has a great potential and a sophisticated and elegant UI so I'm considering buying the paid version (€6).

Unfortunately it seems that the developer hasn't very good skills at promoting (in english) his app and explaining how it works.

For example a new related app has been published in the very last days (maybe yesterday, but the official publication date is set as Feb-04-2013, that is next monday!) by the same dev of Franklin Planner at half the price (€2.99).

It's called Franklin Planner Activity.

Reading the app notes in SamsungApps I can't really understand if that new app is some sort of add-on to Franklin Planner or just a cheaper/limited version of the full app....

°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°

Anyway here's Franklin Planner Trial (21 days) apk.

Please let me know if the attached apk is useful and working.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
That's another app, from the same dev (webplan). The fact that both apps name begin with the two words "Franklin Planner" doesn't actually help to distinguish between them

To clarify things, that's what is and isn't available in GP and SamsungApps:

FranklinPlanner Note 10.1

last version: 1.8.4 - feb-5-2013

size: 4.48MB

price: €6

market: SamsungApps only but not in the US.​

[trial version] FranklinPlanner Note 10.1

last version: 1.8.4 - feb-2-2013

size: 4.48MB

price: free trial for 21 days (21 non consecutive days of actual usage)

market: SamsungApps (I don't know if in the US too).​

Franklin Planner Activity

last version: 5.5 - feb-1-2013 is SA and jan-23-2013 in GP

size: 2.4MB

Trial>FranklinPlanner Activity

last version: 5.5 jan-23-2013

As the app's name suggest the first two apps are specifically designed for the GNote 10.1, and have the SPen support whilst the 3rd and 4th are apps for generic Android Smartphones and Tablets (with no SPen support).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExploreMN:
Has anyone considered just emailing the dev and asking? Maybe he/she/they just need to know there is a market...or maybe there is some legal mumbo jumbo that doesnt allow it to be published in the US?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
For those interested in this app, I've found (by chance) this video that explains rather well its functionality, especially how to create and use handwritten notes within it.

Unfortunately the video's language is some eastern one (probably Korean) but there are English subtitles and the operation showed are sufficiently clear.

I've learned much by watching that video and I'm more convinced of the great potentialities of this app that, in term of integrating handwritten notes with tasks, schedules and notes in the calendar structure, greatly overcomes the analog S Pen's (rather poor) functionalities of S Planner.

Question. How do I sync this with my google calendars?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RussianDick:
It’s so sad

The app is very slow and very laggy! It is almost impossible to use it.

Google calendar sync is unclear, it must be embedded, and work

smooth like in aCallendar for example.

Now I understand why the price is only 1.5$ in Russian Samsung store.

Because this “app” did not worth even this amount of cash.

The app had great potential a couple of months ago, but now we see that developers abandoned it,

didn’t do any bag fixes, and optimization, so it would be stupid

to enter all my data into app that is almost dead already

Thanks!

Furthermore the full version price on GP is lower than that of SamsungApps store.

That's also a more updated version (1.8.6 vs 1.8.5). Hopefully it fixes some of the lags someone complained of...

EDIT

I didn't resist and bought it.

All I can say for the time being is that it seems much more stable and fluid than the previous (demo) version (1.8.4) I had tried before. :) so I don't regret my purchase decision...

Only thing is that there's no full documentation, the dev's website is only in Korean, and some operations are hard to figure out (i.e. how to use the category management). The best source of documentation is this dev's video (in Korean but with English subtitles... well... sort of).

(Any tips and tricks from other users could be greatly appreciated in this thread!)

I really want an app like this as I miss the original paper Franklin planner I had quite a few years ago. I installed the demo a month or two back, but it didn't work at all well and I uninstalled it. I have just re-installed the latest version of the demo, but it just kept crashing on me. This seems such an obvious piece of software for a tablet of this size and would be a great addition to my Note. If I can't get this working - is there anything else that works like this? I just want something that looks a bit like a paper planner, but that will integrate well with something like Outlook on my desktop. Am I looking for too much?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
I can just say that I've found the latest versions (>1.8.2) of FP much more stable than before and I've not experienced any crash since installing it.

Did you clear all data before uninstalling the previous demo? Maybe you could try starting afresh by clearing all present data and cache, then uninstalling and reinstalling the app.

Also the crashes could be caused by too much command inputs sent in a very short time. At the moment FP is not light speed fast and it has some small (tough fully acceptable) delay in receiving the commands and acting on them. I guess that a very quick sequence of different commands could cause problems, but, maybe, if you slow down a little bit and wait just a little bit more for the commands to be received it could behave properly...

The Demo Version crashes as soon as you attempt to open an S Pen note. This does not happen with the paid-for V1.8.7.

There is another annoying irritation in V 1.8.7: Trying to bring forward a large list of uncompleted Tasks to today by clicking the "select all" checkbox results in a Force Close. Dev says he thinks it's because I have "too many" tasks. Until it's fixed I have to click each task individually.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dryden:
I've got the update to 1.8.8 as well and it has fixed the S Pen crashes - whoop! I can now add handwritten notes to me heart's content.

However, I still can't edit a single occurrence in my calender. I really need this feature as I'm a teacher and I put my timetable into my calendar as recurring appointments and then edit individual occurrences and add the lesson details. I can't seem to do this with this app - when I edit a recurring appointment, I can only seem to edit the main body, not the notes. Any ideas, anyone?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bulbous:
I bought this because I liked the look and feel of it, I would have saved some money if I'd tried the demo.

It bears a striking resemblance to Pocket Informant (I had PI on my Ipaq years ago and loved it). While PI is not perfect, it certainly is a massive improvement over Franklin Planner
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sphere314:
You might be right (by the way PI was the free app of the day yesterday on AmazonApps and I could get it for free).

There's still a long way to go for FP in optimization and streamlining.

Yet the specific and rather unique feature of FP is the possibility to integrate the calendar schedule and tasks with handwritten notes using the S Pen. That somehow counterbalances its shortcomings and makes it interesting enough for me.

At the same time I wouldn't, at the present moment, advise FP to anyone not interested in using handwritten notes.
