Leave a Review Artful Agenda
Best Digital Planner Ever
My life has changed since I started using Artful Agenda.
I love the way it syncs with all my calendars so I never miss an event.
There is so much you can do to personalise your planner and we are spoilt for choice with fonts, covers and stickers.
Having all my details available 24/7 no matter what device I am on is amazing.Show lessJamieeb4
Needs work...
Update:
I’m really enjoying this agenda now. Started paying now for some months after all the updates. I especially like the notifications and stickers. Note to developer: I need the ability to change the notification alarm and length of the sound. For the most part, I see it but most of the time I can’t hear it. I tried looking for a way to change that but I can’t.
Thank you for keeping up with the all aspects of this app. I enjoy using it more now. I love paper agendas and have paid a lot to have all the features this electronic agenda has but this is much better than paper.
I really enjoyed the app but as some reviews have stated it’s not worth the price per month. Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the visual of it. So much nicer than all the other apps but that’s it. Without push notifications or reminders it’s useless cause I forget to check the time. I need a way to remind me it’s time for the next appointment. I can’t keep looking at my watch or clock for that. Also, it has too many bugs. I’m glad it’s getting repaired as soon as reported but again for the price they should not be so many. I will look again in a few months to see the changes because I do like it, but until I see what I need, I have cancelled my subscription.Show lessDelta.esme
Unable to cancel subscription, app not working
After signing up for the two week free trial, which assured me that my card wouldn’t be charged until the two week free trial ended, I started using the app only to find I couldn’t perform the most basic functions, such as adding an appointment. Any action I attempted resulted in an error message, including saving appointments, setting reminders, syncing calendars..
I tried to unsubscribe and apart from being a lot harder than it should be to navigate this process, the end result was that I was unable to unsubscribe as there was no link to do so, despite following the instructions to-the-letter!
I submitted a request for help and the support team simply sent me the same instructions! Very frustrating.
To top it off I received an email confirming my ‘subscription’ with payment starting immediately, with no mention of the free trial!?
Be very wary of signing up for a free trial.
I will note that I used to have a subscription and was using Artful Agenda for a few months and when it’s working it’s a wonderful app. Therefore, I will change my one-star rating once this issue is resolved and I can be sure my card won’t be charged.Show lessKrissyFly
Good but could use improvement!
Although I genuinely enjoy this app, I feel like there are several improvements that need to be made in order for it to be great. My main criticism is pretty small — I would like to be able to customize the quotes that are autogenerated. Some of the quotes that come up are by people who I know to be historical figures that I have strong political disagreements with. This ruins the experience for me, and I would love to be able to simply edit and put my own quote there. I also think the alarms should be more customizable. Currently, I am only able to set alarms for 9 AM, which is not very helpful in terms of reminding me for an appointment. I would also appreciate the ability to synchronize with people using other software, such as google calendars. I prefer this to google calendars, but I would like to be able to sync with other people who use it and invite them to edit my events. Other than that, I appreciate this app’s usability and how it lets me customize my day.Show lessnako0507
Great Planner
I’ve always been a paper planner person. When my favorite was discontinued, I’ve been on a very expensive journey since, trying to find the best fit. I found the busier I have become with work and personal life, carrying a paper planner was not working as well. After trying a few digital planners I came across Artful Agenda. I used it for 2 days and immediately decided this was the one. I went ahead and paid the annual fee. I carry two phones with me and when my work phone is put away for family time, I love that I can still look on my personal phone and see my work schedule when trying to plan something. I keep my AG open on my laptop all day at work because it is my go to for all things appointment, tasks, and list related. I really love this calendar. A few things I wish it had but lacked, is that when in landscape mode on your phone, that the calendar would landscape as well. It currently does not. Also wish you could zoom in on the page. These are not a deal breaker for me though, since it checks off what I need it to do.Show lessu3gfybvuvksygkevf

Place to streamline the chaos that is my life!!Pinner obsessed. Great
Wonderful Idea
I found this in December 2020 and it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for and more.
Having everything organised in one place makes it so easy to find everything I need.
There are definitely development opportunities with this app/software and I can’t wait for these to make it even better!lucylocket43
Amazing Planner
I love this app & website. I work remotely and in office and was struggling to keep up with all my tasks in a paper planner. I’ve tried a few digital ones, but I missed the fun of a physical one. This one was the perfect solution. Here’s what I love about it. 1. I love the individualization aspect (cover, “handwriting”, etc.). The lists give you so many options to make it what you want and there’s even a section in you day to day planner where you can change it to what you want. 2. It helps to be able to type something into my phone, then view it on my computer later or vice versa. I use it during meetings due to this function. 3. I can keep up with projects or make lists for personal vs work tasks then assign them to a day. This has been a life saver for keeping up with
my bills. 4. You can create events in it (& invite people) and it’ll sync to your other calendars. *My only wish is that I use to have a Samsung phone before an Apple and it had an awesome widget for this app. I’m a visual person so I liked being able to see it, and the beautiful cover, on my home screen. I was disappointed Apple doesn’t have it yet, though I’ve read they are working on it. Fingers crossed it comes soon. Highly recommend Artful Agenda, I brag on it so much that coworkers are now subscribing too.Show less_Jessica_Renae_

Hi _Jessica_Renae_! Thank you so much for your kind review! We're so glad you're loving the app!Like it but something is missing
I like this app. It had everything I wanted in a calendar app. One of the main things was the fact that you can block out time in your calendar and sync with your other calendars. I also love that we can change the hex codes to coordinate with the colors we want. I just wished I could save all the colors I chose so I don’t have to write down the color codes somewhere else. Also, the meal section seems to have a glitch. Only a third of the box works. The rest of it you can’t even type on. The other task section doesn’t move to the next line when whatever you type is longer than the width of the box. That really annoyed me. I also wished there was an option to upload your own stickers to the app because I’m not a big fan of the stickers that they offer. All in all, it worked well but not for the yearly price. I think I will continue to search for the perfect planner app and stick to my digital planner on my GoodNotes app until I find something worth paying for.Show lessBookworm4days
Some improvements/additions needed
Just downloaded it and it’s a great idea. There isn’t anything quite like it on the market, but it’s missing something.
If the pages could be filled in with handwriting somehow, or include handwritten notes/section that would be amazing.
This app bridges the gap between a custom digital planner and a planner app - it takes all the work out of designing and fiddling on something like Goodnotes, but it’s too rigid. If handwriting or drawing could be integrated as an option, that would make it perfect.Show lessJaybeepanda
