## Review summary

Planboard is praised as a simple, cross-device digital planner that helps teachers organize lessons, schedules, and units across multiple classes. Users like printing, attachments, and easy access from phone to laptop. However, recurring crashes during setup and after updates, plus UI bugs like day-rotation labels and Android compatibility issues, significantly hinder usability. When stable, it’s a strong tool for lesson planning; fixes to stability and the rotation bug would unlock its full potential.

### Pros

- Works across devices (phone and laptop) for on-the-go access to plans.
- Strong organization for multiple classes, schedules, and units, with year-to-year continuity.
- Helpful for checking planned lessons in hand and staying organized without paper.
- Generally a capable digital planner that many teachers recommend.

### Cons

- Frequent crashes and instability, especially during setup or after updates.
- UI bugs such as day rotation labels (chalk\_rotation\_daynumber) and day display glitches.
- App often stops or quits on Android devices, including older devices/OS versions.
- Initial account creation flow can crash or prevent progress for new users.
- Some reliability issues persist across multiple reviews, hindering usability.
