  • Minimalist and Aesthetic

    I’ve been using this app for about a year now and i still love to use it. I wanted something that was aesthetic but also minimalistic so things didn’t seem visually cluttered for my adhd brain. One issue I have is that when u click the journal team it opens for half a second but it immediately closes it so I have not been able to use that which is annoying. I worked also like more highlight cookies or an option where you can choose your own colors from a color wheel or something like that so you could have your own color scheme. Since I can’t open the journal tab idk what features it has but if it could also include an option for you to add pictures/music works be cool. One thing that actual made me close this app over the others is that it was a one time purchase over a monthly subscription-I hate that everyone uses that business model because it immediately turns me off to whatever they’re selling whether I could benefit from it or not. The app is 1 purchase and then you have the option of buying widgets. Again I’d rather this option than a subscription. So, this is why I chips 4 out of 5 stars. I hope they can update the app soon and fix the bugs

  • Functionality

    This calendar is so clean and pretty and just about everything I wanted to help me stay on task. The functionality is almost perfect. I love that I can put an enlarged wig it right onto my home screen, and it’s so easy to find.
    The only thing I wish it had was a place to add the location information so that you could click on it and open it up in navigation. Right now it seems you have to put the address in the description first. Then you can double click it and create a navigation link. But then the address shows up twice on the description section. It’s double work, but maybe in an update they can fix that.

  • Love it

    I just purchased this app. I love it. Still playing with the format. I do wish the widget features didn’t costs more than the app itself but, overall, everything works greats. Found the glitch in setting up a due date when typing a note that it’ll show on the date it ends and not necessarily the date you wrote it down. That’s where I got confused cuz I was making a note where I can retract throughout the year. Wish we had a wallpaper feature in the paid app & not additional fee on the Instagram page I previously seen. Love it. Simple beautiful and it’s budget friendly which is a major plus.

  • love love love!!!

    i downloaded this app a while ago and i feel like i’ve used it long enough to give an honest review. and i honestly love it! im all about the aesthetic calendar look!! there are a few suggestions that i have, my major suggestion would be to make the app compatible with the macbook, i work from my computer and it would be awesome to be able to download this app onto my macbook and be able to see it on a larger display and update it without having to get on my phone. the only other thing is that i wish i could have a continuous event, but be able to skip days within it. let’s say i work the same hours and days every week, i have it scheduled on my calendar and it recurs every week, i love that part, but when i take a week off of work, i would like to be able to delete that from that specific day without strewing up my whole calendar. but thank you for this app, forever will use it!!

  • Functional and gorgeous

    Loving this app so far! I’ve been struggling to find a way to organize my life - paper planners haven’t worked and on my phone I’ve had to use multiple apps. This app though puts everything (beautifully) in one place 🙌🏻 I can set a recurring reminder for daily habits (taking medicine, journaling), add “To-Do’s” for my day, and of course keep track of events/appointments

    The only addition that would be helpful is a section with a running To-Do list that isn’t tied to specific dates. I always have a few random tasks that aren’t time sensitive but I’d like to keep track of/knock off my list as time allows, but I haven’t seen a place for that.

    Otherwise, I’m super impressed and so happy I purchased! Also love that the developer doesn’t collect data - makes paying for the app even more appealing.

  • Beautiful App

    This is a beautiful app. I’ve been looking for a replacement organizer app that fits the bill.

    One thing I think would improve the app would be to change the Notes so it has no date or expiration. This way, the notes are just that & not part of the calendar. You can add notes & return to check it whenever you’d like instead of having to scroll to the date of when the note was created.

    Another change would be that there are more script fonts available to choose from so we can customize our organizer to other script fonts we prefer.

    Lastly, I noticed when you sync the app to the actual calendar app, you are allowed to apply icons to the event. Please add more icons & allow us to add icons to events we input into planbella & not just an outside calendar.

    Thank you for listening. Otherwise, I think its a really great app & flawlessly executed.

  • Ehh

    I’ve had this planner for two years now and I haven’t seen it change much. It’s beautiful, but the software has some issues. The biggest and most annoying one is that every time you update something, the date jumps to the original date that an item was added. So, you have to back out of the page and click the journal tab to take you to today again. It’s also always freezing. ALWAYS. Since the beginning. If I click an item to add, a task, event or note, it doesn’t load for 10 seconds so I’ll click it again and I end up with two windows for an item. I have to back out of them which also takes a moment. I’m currently looking for a new calendar bc I’m pretty over the poor functionality of this one.

  • It’s pretty, but I can’t depend on it to be accurate.

    I’ve been using this app for over a year now. I love the aesthetics; it’s pretty and minimalist enough to not be overwhelming. However, recently I’ve been running into quite a few bugs that have grown more and more frustrating. I travel often, and it seems that if I’m putting events in the planner for, say, 12 PM while I’m in Florida, if I then travel to west Tennessee, the event changes to 11 AM. I may be in a different time zone, but the timing of the event is still the same regardless. I’ve also noticed that happening with dates as well. Specifically, my friend’s birthday was listed as July 8th. I check back a few weeks later, and now it’s moved to July 7th. I almost texted him a Happy Birthday on the wrong day before I caught it! I’ve noticed this on several, several occasions where I put in a date, and it’s moved a day back. Because of this, I no longer feel like the planner is accurate, and I’m anxious that I may have the wrong day or time. It’s been my favorite planning app to use because of the aesthetics and minimalist design, as I’ve mentioned, but it’s proving to be undependable.

  • Brilliant with a flaw…

    This is such a beautiful, clean and easy to use app that I happily use daily! It has a dark mode, supports iOS calendar sync (not gmail or outlook) and offers widgets-> for a small fee. The only feedback I have would be the Notes and To Do List… they are tied to the date you created them so after the day has passed, they won’t show on the widgets anymore!

    1. Why have a Note section that’s tied to a date when you have the Journal tab that’s already doing that, it’s literally the same thing? I’d like to see the Note section be more like a “sticky note” where you can jot something down quickly, with an option to add it that date if you wanted.

    2. Same concept for the To Do List. Allow users to make a task that doesn’t default to a specific day so it will stay on the widget until you go in the app an mark it complete, like an actual to do list. To view it in the app you have to go back to the specific day.

    I’d like to acutely get use out of the widget since we have to pay for them separately.
    I hope these comments are taken into consideration for future updates.

  • Great, but not the best…

    I really wanted to love it. First they barely added widgets and they each one cost a dollar. Second, it does have a quick access button for you to go to an specific month/ year. And third, for some reason my phone doesn’t sync with my iPad, and is frustrating that I have to write them twice! The only way that it would sync is if I write my appointments on another calendar(google/gmail) which then it doesn’t let me edit from the app. Is honestly very aesthetically pleasing, but a wait of time and money for me, oh and by the way, it doesn’t look that nice on the iPad, I guess I’ll just go back to google calendar, but if you know of a nice and smooth app, let me know!!
