I am loving this online planner! It helps me to stay organized and keep grade book records. My kids love the assignment lists that are emailed - my daughter prefers the weekly digest while my son prefers the daily reminder. I love the flexibility of the program and have only just begun to discover all the components.

Homeschool Planet is hands-down the most user-friendly, flexible online planner that I have found (after a long, detailed search). I used it last year and was thoroughly impressed; this year's improvements just make me want to praise it more! I love the flexibility of pushing the entire schedule out to accommodate an unplanned break, or the ability to pull assignments up if we decide not to take a planned day off. Tracking completed assignments, inputing grades, and having calendar and planner settings are invaluable tools. This homeschool pla...(more)

I tried the free month and like it so far. We're going to try month-to-month for a while. This is our first product of this nature. I like that it works so fluidly with multiple different schedules. I'll like it even more when it seamlessly integrates with our various smart devices, and is fully editable when offline.

We have always used a homeschool planner with my twins. It keeps us all on track, and it places the responsibility on the kids to get their work done. When they were young, we used a 3x5 card with check boxes, but as their school work became more involved, we moved to a paper planner that was personalized for each child. Sounds ideal, right? Well, it wasn't. Let s face it, life sometimes gets in the way and assignments need to be shifted around; with a paper planner that is a nightmare.
I was thrilled to be invited to be a beta-tester f...(more)

From being able to send a shopping list alert to hubby last minute to planning the entire school year, Homeschool Planet makes not just planning curriculum for multiple students easy, but it also puts any and every daily happening in one handy-dandy spot that I can take on the go with the quick link home icon on my iPhone. I especially love how easy it is to sync lesson plans up with the planner. It is literally just a few clicks and it's all ready to go.

I absolutely love Homeschool-Planet. It was so easy to learn and set up. I used a different online program before and it was confusing, not user friendly, made me dread setting up my school year, and it took days to do it. Homeschool-Planet took me no time to set up my entire year. My kids love getting their daily plans emailed to them. I use the texting option for my oldest so he knows what appointments he has to schedule into his day along with schoolwork. I like to do my entire lesson plans for the whole year, but in the past I was alw...(more)

I have tried several homeschool planners, looking for one that would work for our family. Homeschool Planet is, by far, the most intuitive, easiest to use planner of all of them. I've finally found what I've been looking for! I have been able to schedule classes and make adjustments easily. The daily e-mails also allow everyone to know exactly what is planned for them each day. I love the fact that each child checks off the work they completed-what a time saver for me! Homeschool Planet has helped me to achieve the organization that I've always...(more)

I am starting my third school year using Homeschool-Planet as my scheduling tool. I have tried other methods/programs, but Homeschool-Planet is by far the most effective, homeschool applicable, and user friendly.
The program is easy to navigate from the first day of use. The scheduling options are abundant but appropriate (no extraneous frills cluttering the site). My favorites are the ability to link a website to an assignment, the ability to schedule classes on specific days of the week/month, and adding additional assignments to a date. ...(more)

A monthly fee for a calendar and planner??? What I had was free. It wasn't working great, but it worked somewhat. How much better could this planner be? I'm a sucker for free trials, though. I tried it out, and I'm very happy I did.
As advertised, this program allows me to create regular lesson plans and keep track of my calendar. But, I found that it can do more. I can also break down any project (school, house, or other) into tasks that get assigned day by day. The Rescheduler makes sure that tasks don't get forgotten. My kids...(more)

I haven't had the opportunity to fully investigate all of the amenities of Homeschool Planet; however, the options that I've been able to use are absolutely wonderful.
I work part-time, which is why I haven't had the chance to implement everything, and I have two children (one middle school, one high school). Some of the things that HP does, eliminates many Excel documents I created to keep track of grades, daily log, hours along with a bunch of finagling on my part to bring it all together. This does not include our crazy homeschool and ...(more)
