Leave a Review Artful Agenda
Artful Agenda changed my life! Amazing idea!
For a long time, I have wanted to get a digital planner on my iPad/computer because I am a great digital artist and webmaster. Due to my disability (Cerebral Palsy), I can’t even jot down in a paper planner. It was difficult to find a perfect digital version of a paper planner. However, this app has changed my life because everything is organized! I absolutely love this planner app! I can type my events, tasks, and lists on this app. There are so many unique and stylish covers! Omg, that’s unbelievable how you made these covers. I selected rose gold glitter as my planner cover - this cover matches my style and personality.
Thank you for making this happen! I really appreciate how you got an innovative idea for the digital planner! I’m so grateful for this app! I would highly recommend this app for those with motor disabilities who can’t use a paper planner. I can’t wait to use it as my own planner!Show lessMarisaconners
So sad it's behind a sign up gate
Update- I purchased it because it actually is exactly what I wanted. And it has not disappointed! I love it.
Original review - I downloaded the app excited to see how it looked in real life. But I had to sign up for the trial first. That puts me off straight away most times. And it did this time too. :(Show lessTiggerati
So versatile and convenient
I loved my paper planner but I found it too restrictive (when something changed for the week, I hated that I had to make it messy by crossing things out! Plus, I sometimes need to keep track of more things than one paper planner can easily handle but keeping multiple planners is a no-go for me—too confusing) and I had a hard time keeping it up to date when I was on the go. Plus I’m left handed and planners just aren’t made for lefties 😅 Artful Agenda has been the perfect solution! I can toggle calendars on and off, everything stays synced and in one place (to-dos, calendars, lists), the task lists are customizable and flexible, everything seamlessly syncs into a monthly, weekly, and daily view
—AND I save tons of time each week that I used to spend meticulously transferring things from Google Cal into my paper planner. Oh! And there are digital stickers for when I’m feeling fancy! I love my Artful Agenda.Show lessElle Beauregard
Very Nice!
I was looking for a unique, somewhat whimsical calendar/planner and found it in Artful Agenda - I wanted something that I would actually WANT to look at (and therefore use…), and this one caught my eye.
There’s a lot to love if you’re looking for something with a little personality - themes and fonts take it beyond the usual (read: boring…) calendar apps. Stickers and lots of color add a touch of whimsy. I’m a list-maker, so the Lists feature is a plus. It’s easy to navigate and use.
A few wish-fors that kept me from adding that 5th star :)…
- The ability to bold or underline fonts in the calendar would be awesome, or being able to add color to an entire day. I use different colors for my vs. my kid’s stuff, but being able to add some formatting would be super useful.
- Setting alarms can be a little wonky sometimes when trying to get the “number of” (hours, minutes, etc.) field to turn active. It can be temperamental.
- Likewise with setting recurrences - I’ve seen those in places they shouldn’t be, checked what I set, and had to delete and re-enter. Thankfully it’s only been a couple of times!
And like everyone else, more stickers please!
Beyond those relatively minor things, I’m really enjoying this planner! It’s well worth it (to me anyway) to pay for something I know I’ll use and that inspires me to be better organized. Recommend to anyone who agrees with that!Show lessTraceyHern
Finally!
I have never felt compelled to write a review for an app until now. Like many others, I constantly struggle to stay organized and coordinate several schedules at once (my work and personal, my husband’s work and personal, my kids’ school and personal, etc.). I have spent hundreds of dollars on paper calendars, apps and digital calendars. None of them worked for me, until I found this calendar system. It is so intuitive and user-friendly. I love that I can have my up-to-date calendars and to do lists on my computer, tablet and phone. Being able to assign tasks from the master lists to individual days is incredibly helpful, as is being able to automatically continue the tasks to the following day until completed.
Thank you for this wonderful product ☺️Show lessMem Florida
Delivers what others miss!!!
I love digital planning. I’ve been a GoodNotes user for quite awhile. One of my biggest issues is that I never got alerts and reminders for things like appointments, unless I went back to my iOS calendar manually to add each one.
Enter the Artful Agenda!!! Perfect syncing with my calendar and across all of my devices!! Add in that it’s super easy to create recurring reminders throughout, and I feel more organized than ever!! I love the ability to customize colors and covers, and the basic stickers available are great.
What I would love to see- extra blank tabs (like the list) where I can add more info I need for my small business. I’d also love to drop in photos and link to documents easily. This would make this perfect!!!Show lessElli937
Amazing planner, easy to use
For a long time I’ve used my phone as my main planner but missed the fun of customizing that you get from using paper planners. This app allows just the right amount of customization to make it feel like you are actually writing in your paper planner. I love the stickers, lists, views, fonts, really just all of the customization options. I love that I can make my grocery list, bills list, calendar all in one place. This app has replaced two other apps that I was using to do this. So far, I feel this app is worth the price (really just the price of a paper planner and sticker book) and is on par for what I was paying for those other two apps.
So far I would highly recommend this app for anyone that usually uses their phone to stay organized. It runs fast, doesn’t crash or have ads. I’m hooked!Show lessKECP14
Amazing so far
I just started using this yesterday but so far I am in love! I’ve tried other digital planners that require you to use Notebook apps in order to use them. I prefer the direct app. Artful Agenda is so easy to use. Has all of the features of a paper planner. I use it on my HP Laptop, iPhone and iPad. It syncs with the other devices immediately on WiFi so I always have it with me. The color coordination between multiple calendars is the best part. I have a bill calendar, work calendar, personal calendar, each with an assigned color. All of those calendars show up on one main calendar under their specific color hi lighted. And I haven’t even mentioned the lists tab. I keep a grocery list on me at all times now! They give you a free two week trial before you get charged. Try it out. It will not disappoint!!!!Show lessSimsimi25
Woah! Professional and personal organization at the touch of a tab!
I am amazed at this app the ease of functionality and of course at how cute you can make it. I’ve struggled to find a digital agenda I can personalize and can keep track of all of my calendars. I manage 5 different emails/calendars and keeping track of notes details and setting can be overwhelming and having to use different programs to do each different thing can be cumbersome. Don’t get me wrong google is functional but it’s still different programs/apps/links to access everything I need. I was/am a devout bullet journalist but with everything needing to be online for work and personal web meetings a paper agenda is unrealistic and incredibly unreliable. The only 2 things I can’t seem to figure out or it may not do is send email reminders to the guests of changes to the schedule as well as adding a zoom or google meet links to the event. The second is not a very big deal because I can create it and add it to the notes but the first is quite inconvenient, particularly because I work with teenagers. Also I can’t wait for the future of this app and improvements on functionality like using the Apple Pencil and further personalization of tabs and task sections!Show lessmoniohyeah
Developer Response
Hi monioyeah! Thank you so much for your detailed review and feedback. We recommend you joining our Facebook group Artfully Obsessed for tips on how to send email reminders of changes and virtual meeting links. We do have Apple Pencil compatibility both for handwriting to text as well as a separate drawing feature that allows you to write in your own handwriting.Exactly what I needed!
Y’all I just gotta say thank you to the a|a team for this app. I’ve been using it for a little over a week and it has been a godsend!
I’ve always wanted to be that person that could keep beautiful paper planners because the colors make me happy but I’m not organized enough to keep up with it, I hated going back and forth writing in my Google invites and having to erase/mark through/whiteout changed events.
I am in LOVE with my digital calendar. I love that it syncs on its own and I still get all the fun stickers and colors. I’m so happy.
I’ve seen other reviews mention that the subscription is to expensive or they don’t like having to pay for certain sticker packs or whatever else but honestly I feel like the cost is very on par but still less than what you would spend yearly on a paper calendar and all of the accessories you’d put in it. The bonus here being it takes a lot of the work out of it because this app syncs with your online calendars automatically and updates itself!
And once you buy the sticks or other extras once, you have them for life instead of repurchasing.
The developers are super quick at replying to tickets when things do pop up and they’re highly receptive to recommendations and input. It’s a app that actually cares about user experience.Show lessVanessa<3
