Not Ready....
The app is beautiful, to say the least, but after that, there are a lot of things to be desired:
First: There is no easy way to add tasks in here. When you do the keyboard shortcut of Command-N, all you get is a new window. There appears to be no button available (or a keyboard shortcut) that allows for easy addition of tasks. Update: The button that allows for the addition of new tasks appears as an "Edit" icon instead of a "plus" icon, which universally is used to add new items to apps. But still, no keyboard shortcut is present.
Second: When you want to do a task, all you have is a countdown of the timer. There is no "count up" timer present, which can prove to be useful when tracking the time that it takes to do a task.
Third: Keyboard shortcuts throughout the app are lacking. For apps that allow for planning of days, there has got to be an abundance of keyboard shortcuts available in order to effectively use the app.
Because of these shortcomings, I have no intentions of using it, as I'd rather use an app that has the above features baked into it first before spending money on them.Show lessThe Builder....
Useless
This app is terrible, I regret relying on other reviews when deciding to purchase as it is expensive. It is very, very glitchy (freezes frequently), you cannot edit a task once set up, you cannot go to a previous day on the so-called calendar, you cannot plan for intervals on recurring tasks more than 1 month, you cannot plan for recurring tasks more than about 6 months into the future, I find this app very inefficient and cumbersome…. It is beyond frustrating to try to use this app. As someone with ADHD, I have been searching for a good planner and this is not it. I have tried other systems and they were all better than this (except maybe writing on the back of your hand which is still more enjoyable than this). I definitely do NOT recommend.Show lessrunswithwolfes
Good idea poor execution
Was looking for a calendar/planner that had the ability to be worked on with another person via invite(admin and others). I thought this app had that but it’s really just sharing the same app with someone in your Apple family which is not ideal if someone can’t join a family. It should be simple to invite someone to view/work on (permissions) your calendar/planner. Having to stick with Google calendar as it has more features and just does a better job of sharing with others. Update to dev response: for sharing it should be app side only. You have to add someone to your Apple family to use sharing and that doesn’t work if they are already in a family - you cannot join two. Which I already explained in my initial review. So no it’s not easy.
Reuodate: that’s not true as a developer I’m sure your know there’s more than one way to solve a problem. If Google calendar can share lists and calendars I’m sure you can too. In fact one way I could think of myself is when you buy the overpriced $80 family edition maybe you get 5 codes for the app to download and use then you can invite them to join via having an account. Pretty basic stuff.Show lessPhantomPlanet

What exactly doesn‘t work? The purchase can easily be shared using family sharing by Apple (needs to be activated in subscription settings). It‘s also very simple to share lists with others using iCloud. :) Update: I’m sorry. Purchases must be shared using family sharing, because other purchase mechanisms aren‘t allowed on the App Store. After that you can work with anyone you want to if he has iCloud enabled :)Missing some basics
The app is okay. If you like to be walked through your tasks and calendar items each morning, with prompts on what to do, it seems good at that. But there are some baffling things missing. There's no way to see a list of all your tasks in one place. There's no way to change to a 24-hour clock. There's no way to change the starting day of the week (I prefer Monday start, but this is set on Sunday) - and there's no "weekend day" indication in the calendar. It's not terrible or anything, and if you like Sunday week start and 12-hour clock, you're good to go. It's just super basic.Show lessellemef
I tried to send feedback through the app and it gave me an error
Love the app. My only issue is that there’s a ghost task that I am reminded at least once a day to complete even though when I search it in the app, I can’t find it. When I click on the notification, the app simply opens without showing the task. I really don’t want to delete all of my iCloud data to clear this issue. This happens on all of my devices, even the ones that have the app recently installed so I don’t think the usual uninstall to reinstall trick will work.Show lessnbtz

Thank you a lot for your review! :) Hope to fix this bug soon.So close, but needs one more thing…
I love how simple it is. So many productivity apps turn into their own endless project. This app is so sleek and useful, but never overwhelming. So good for my ADHD brain. The ONE THING I want is to be able to schedule and set a timer on sub-tasks. And for sub-tasks to have the simple “checklist” sub-tasks that main tasks have now. So, two things. Kevin, thank you for an awesome app. I have all the faith it will just keep getting better.Show lessmajshtheispzkhg

Thank you for your great feedback! Will add those things soon :)Solid Ideas but buggy interface
On a 2019 Intel Macbook Pro, this app has numerous issues. Aside from lag, and performance issues when opening and closing lists, calendar, and other UI items, icons will completely dissappear from the interface rendering it useless. I had to restart the app twice to get the icons in the upper right corner to appear and can validate that they will vanish again if you attempt to click the right sidebar icon. Of course, one of those icons appears to be the only way you can actually add tasks to the interface, so the whole experience is dissappointing and not remotely inticing for a purchase.Show lessjamesbarnes

Please check the new update. The issue should be fixed. :)Pretty, but glitchy
takes a lot of clicks just to add something to my to do list. I wanted this app to be my solution - I paid for premium and used it for over a month. The time tracking is a nice feature, except you can never go back and look at time tracked or what you spent time on - its just a timer. I'm not sure what that would be used for. the ios and mac version are slowly and glitchy. Clicking the date in the week calendar never seemed to work on a mac. I tried really hard to get this to work for me but it was taking up too much of my time and I realized its more of a burden than a solution.Show lesskrystina

Please check the new update. The issue should be fixed. :)Great app and great price, just a little buggy
I’m not sure if it’s because I have so much planned into the app but it lags a lot on my iPhone, iPad, and MacBook Pro. There is a bug that I encounter is that 4/5 times that I tap on the new task button at the top, it does nothing. Typically I have to either leave the section (list, tag, day, etc) and try again in order for things to work properly again. I’m on the latest app versions as well as operating systems.
With that being said, this app has everything I need and I’m still more than happy to continue paying for Planny+. Once the bug is squished I’ll definitely be updating to five stars 😁Show lessDeveloper Response
Thank you a lot for your review! :) Hope to fix this bug soon.Too Many Bugs
I really want to like this app, but the amount of issues with it makes it difficult to use on a daily basis. I constantly needed to close and re-open the app in order to do basic things like marking things 'done' on my to-do list or reordering specific tasks. It's too glitchy to use consistently, unfortunately.Show lesspeytoncordeo
