Penn Foster Study Planner

There are problems. When I’m on the dashboard, where you can adjust your schedule to when you plan to finish, seems to be the cause of most of the problems. Once I choose my plan and a date that’s all I can do. I have to close the app all the way to go back and look at anything else. Or once I’m on that screen it will freeze and I’ll close the app and retry. There are a lot of bugs it seems like. And I don’t think it is syncing with my calendar if I choose a different date which is unfortunate. Hopefully things get worked out. I like the idea but I don’t think it’s being executed properly.

Ok so I have read other reviewers being upset that it doesn't have any study guides or a way to read the lessons through the app. I don't think that is the point of this app. Also, study guides are easily downloaded to Google Docs and can be made to access offline, that is what I do. This app is great if you want to quickly look at your schedule, when to take the next test by, adjust schedule, check grades, and want the ability to sync schedule with the phones calendar. I haven't synced my schedule but I do love being able to seey schedule super quick and being able to check grades on assignments. Yes they could do more with the app, but for what is on I definitely think it deserves five stars.

It would be perfect if you could click on the course and assignment and it would take you to the assignment to actually work on! As a parent I like being able to see her grades so as a parent this side of it is perfect. For my daughter however she needs the ability to work from wherever we are. I’m a college student and my college has an app that will let me do just that. It takes me directly to my course and lets me post discussions and take my quizzes without a hitch. That would amazing for the student body of Penn Foster!

So I’m 14 and I do pennfoster online high school and this app has helped me so much to keep track of all of my work, how far ahead I am, what I need to do, what I’ve already done, etc. I love how you can sync it to your calendar so you can can an alarm of when you need to do a certain thing. Very, very helpful. Also seems really helpful for parents too!

Just like the majority of the other reviews, this app is okay for its purpose. PennFoster totally lacks the ability to do on-the-go studying due to reading materials showing up roughly on a browser. This app does exactly what it says, it helps to plan out your exam dates. It looks fairly nice too (could use some TLC though). Just missing that all-too-important part where I'd like to have PennFoster study materials on this app like they are available on a browser. Please update soon so that I may be able to study easily wherever I am (in-app-download of current study materials for offline study?)!
