Tried the free version but found it much too complicated for my basic needs. It seems to have some of the features that Edu-Track has, but is not nearly as complete of a package. I love that Edu-Track has almost all the lesson plans for the curriculum I teach which saved me tons of time scheduling. I had trouble installing this software - it does not appear to be compatible with Vista and was giving errors during the installation and when trying to run it. I finally got it going by running it in compatibility mode, but was disappointed in how many steps it took to plan my lessons. It also does not seem to have many reports. Although free is nice, I chose to spend a few dollars to get something that worked for me.

I can not say enough good things about this product! I LOVE IT!
While it took a weekend to put in all the books and information we would be using for the year, it was very user friendly and has more than saved me those inital "start-up" hours. It's a lifesaver and made our state notification a breeze. All I had to do was go into the report menu and print out our intended book list and a brief overview on the benchmarks we would touch on. The Schoolboard Superintendant could not get over how well this was done because he stated that he could glace at it in a moment and know what was being done, while most other notifications he receives are handwritten or hand-typed and difficult to follow.
As a first year homeschooler it also has helped to gauge our progress and avoid burn-out. The main reason is you can visually see all that has been done and how much is further to get to your goal.
I can not get over how awesome a product this is and that fact that it is free. You have GOT to try this one!!!

L-O-V-E IT.
I recently reset my values somehow on my children's homeschool tracker by accident and couldn't figure out how to fix it. I sent the Homeschool tracker email my problem, and they had it fixed in 10 seconds, I am not kidding. And this is with the FREE version. No telling what type of service you get with the upgraded version.
I use this to keep track of my hours, attendance, grades, and it even generates a report card. I will recommend this to anyone who asks what I use. It has revolutioninzed my homeschool records. Gone are the planners, Gone are the papers. I put in simple, simple responses and then just copy them and add hours and it does all the work. Try it, FREE, and you will see.
It took me the length of one weekend to get it set up, but once I did, I never went back to paper. I am medium computer savy, I don't have a blog but I type well, and I had no problem using this software.

I use the basic (free) version. What is so nice about this product is that you can use it for multiple things or just a few. I use it to keep track of attendance and graded assignments. It will automatically figure a grade average for me.
Another nice feature is that you can input how many minutes you spend on a subject. This would be especially helpful if you live in a state where you have to keep track of hours. The reports can be printed in a variety of formats which look very professional.
This product has saved me a lot of time that would otherwise be spent recording grades and shuffling papers. This is a great resource.
