Planbook 2.5 For Windows Beta Available

with 4 comments

I have finally made a beta release of Planbook 2.5 available for download. You can access the Beta by downloading it here.  Planbook 2.5 will open files created by earlier versions of Planbook, but once saved in the new version they cannot be reopened in the old version.

The beta release includes a number of new features, including:

  • Sync to PlanbookConnect and make plans available online for your use as well as others (free account required).
  • Track standards using the full screen editing mode
  • Assign times to your lessons
  • Create custom days
  • Greatly improved saving
  • Tagging lessons
  • Lots of bug fixes

There are still a couple of features left to implement in 2.5 (including a standards report, the ability to quickly change the times for the lessons on a single day and some beautification), but for the most part, the 2.5 release is ready to go.

That said, Planbook 2.5 for Windows is currently Beta.  Please backup all data files appropriately.

Please send any and all feedback directly to jeff@hellmansoft.com

  1. I signed up for your website a LONG time ago, and never fully was able to use it. At school we use MAC and at home we have Windows. To go back and forth was crazy. Any suggestions? I’d really like to plan on using this for next school. Are there any other updates?
    Thank You!

  2. Hi
    I would also like to be able to use Planbook on windows and on a mac. I was going to use Dropbox to enable me to sync the saved files easily. I have tried this but seem to be having problems. I have 2.5 for mac and 2.5 beta for windows but neither program seems to understand the file format from the other platform. Is there a way around this as this would be a very handy feature?

    Thanks

  3. Hi Jeff,

    LOVE Planbook – I’ve had it on my Mac for a year now. Just bought a netbook with Windows 7 on it – I’d like to have Planbook on there too. Will it work with Windows 7? I tried to install it – seemed to go fine, but when I went to my backed-up Planbook file via Google, it wouldn’t open.

    Thanks SO much for all you do!!!

  4. Shawna-

    Planbook works great on Win7. As for your old file, make sure it has the .plb extension. Can you open the program first and then open the file?
