1bassoon Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Am I the only dork who can't WAIT to see if I'm among The Chosen for the WPD Software beta trial? I'll admit to being confused, though. I had thought it was purely a random selection, then when I filled out the form on the beta tester site they said they wanted to choose a good sampling. :confused: Shall we start a list of people who want to be "in" on it, in case we are actually allowed to choose 4 "friends"? Pick me!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amydavis Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I entered as well, and I was confused just like you. At first, what I read indicated that the drawing was random, but then at the end, it stated they wanted a diverse representation (or something similar). I'm not sure why, but I'm really excited about this planner. I've tried other online ones, and they just weren't for me. I've seen their printed planners, and thought they seemed really user-friendly, but I just stuck with my own little system. I'm hoping this new online edition will be what I'm looking for. Glad to know I'm not the only one hoping to be picked! It's making me feel like such a nerdy homeschool mom...LOL. But yeah, if someone wins and has room for a buddy...pick me, pick me! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeker of Schole Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Thank you for the link, I am dying to be a tester. Just like the others, if anyone needs a friend I would love to be one. Also, if I get picked all of my firends will come from this forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmyontheFarm Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Everyday, I go to the website, obsessive I know! :lol: I would love to be a tester of the product.

TexasRachel Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I signed up too. But I've forgotten when they're letting everyone know when they've chosen people. And yeah, I thought it would be random too, but I'm guessing not based upon the questions they asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happygrrl Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 True Confession: I went ahead and purchased the paper planners. :D I have used the WPD for 3 (or is it 4?) years now, and I did not want to be figuring out a new plan system my first year of High School. I do love the idea of the thing though, so my hope is that I can go ahead and sign up for the software and work the kinks out with no pressure, until I feel I can use it without my paper safety net. It depends on the yearly cost, but hey, I am already dropping over $50 a year for the planners (me and the kids) and surely it will be less that that.

LifeLovePassion Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I assume they will choose folks from each group from their survey. (like so many who have used an electronic planner before, so many who have never used a planner, etc to get feedback as to how well it works for everyone) It would be fun to be selected!

AmyontheFarm Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I suspect I will not get much done this week. Unless, I tear myself away from this computer! We have nothing planned tomorrow and Saturday, so I was really hoping on learning if I was selected so I could take one of those days and learn the program and get everything set up before next week. It's fun being excited about something isn't it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1bassoon Posted March 29, 2012 Author Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yeah, I just read on fb they have 1500 entrants for 50 spots. Not getting my hopes up at. all. Boo. Now I've got to figure out if I just get a paper planner, or try out HST+ online for next year. . . . . . I never get chosen for things like these :( Time for some chocolate. . . . .

pdalley Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Oh poo, I NEVER get chosen for things. :( I'll never make it out of all of those entries. I might as well try the lottery. :D I've tried the other online planners and they just aren't clicking for me. I do love The Well Planned Day paper planners so I guess I'll get more of those.

amydavis Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 That is a lot of entries! Guess I shouldn't get my hopes up...but I can't quit checking in! This planner seems like it will be just what I'm looking for. So far, I haven't had any luck with online planners, so I'm really anxious to see this one. If I'm picked, I'll make sure to add some Hive members to the Beta group. If I'm not picked, and you'd like to add some Hivers, keep me in mind! :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AStableBeginning Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 So if we are not chosen to be beta testers when is the soonest that we would be able to purchase the new software?

Mabeline Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I really want to buy the paper planners, but I am waiting to see if I get chosen.:lol: I am dying to try it out. I am trying to decide if I want a paper planner or just use my iPad. I haven't been able to find a good homeschool planner app. Maybe this digital planner would work for me. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennsmile Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Yeah, I just read on fb they have 1500 entrants for 50 spots. Not getting my hopes up at. all. Boo. Now I've got to figure out if I just get a paper planner, or try out HST+ online for next year. . . . . . I never get chosen for things like these :( Time for some chocolate. . . . . No really they had 1500 entries. 50 spots they chose and 200 spots others will chose. I am hoping to be among the first 50 but if not I will settle for a friend invite.
