Status Update: March 23, 2016
Good News!
Over the past two months, we’ve had over 1,000 people participate in beta testing four new products/features: two new mobile apps (iOS and Android) and two new sync solutions (Google & Microsoft 365).
These efforts have been very productive and we wanted to share a few things people have been saying, and answer a few questions that have been asked.
First, so what are people saying about the new features?
- “I love how it captures the incoming phone calls and asks me to add them to my PlanPlus Online contacts” – (Android App)
- “I have tried PlanPlus numerous times over the years and this is the missing link….”
- “Finally, a Sync that works…”
And now, here are the answers to a few common questions:
What other changes are planned before “BETA” label is removed?
For PlanPlus Mobile Sync (both iOS and Android):
- Complete Planning features in mobile app.
- Resolve “timeout” issues w/ sync.
- Add automatic sync timer on mobile apps.
- Resolve random duplicate creation issues.
For PlanPlus Online Cloud Connector Sync (Google or Microsoft 365/Exchange)
- Increase frequency of automated sync timing. Currently about 60 minutes.
Is it Safe for me to use the beta?
Yes, it’s pretty safe. We do recommend you have a backup of any data so you can restore if needed. For a summary of the known issues and troubleshooting tips.

Sync Google or Microsoft 365/Exchance to PlanPlus Online with Cloud to Cloud Connectors
What kinds of problems might you experience?
Here are a few things that we’re aware of and working to fix as soon as possible:
- There’s an occasional issue with appointment duplication when you travel and have a time-zone change. This fix is pending.
- There are occasional issues with contact duplications. This seems to be associated with syncing the iOS mobile app with an iCloud account.
- We also are aware of issues with recurring tasks. If you have several recurring tasks, you may want to wait for a few weeks before using mobile sync while we work to correct this issue.
Which of these apps should you be using?
