Fix your stuff
Hey. When I make a timer and try to pause said timer, it kicks me out of the app.
Lots of features but not very intuitive
Lots of good features but not very user friendly or intuitive. This app has everything I need but it’s not easy to navigate. It needs a “help” section to explain things like what the icons mean on different screens and the best way to use all the features. It has huge potential, just needs more intuitive workflows. At a bare minimum, it needs an “Add” button on the Home Screen so you can add something quickly without having to navigate elsewhere. It would also be much better if the user could customise the Home Screen to get rid of the big Productivity graph taking up a third of the screen real estate. Should be able to disable that like you can with the other graphs. Overall, it’s a fully featured and powerful app, but not that user friendly. Detailed Developer support is also lacking, which is not a good response given this is a paid subscription app.

Almost perfect
Being able to see the upcoming tasks and repeating routines in the list view and their widgets would make this the perfect planning app. Also being able to block out when tasks are happening, how long they are scheduled for, and being able to be notified before the task begins is extremely important for this kind of app.

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.

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.

Entirely unconvincing
It’s difficult to gain insight about what this app is attempting to accomplish, it’s brightly coloured interface, like a child’s colouring book, is instantly jarring, inputting a task is at best confusing and often mind-bogglingly nonsensical, for example I struggle to see the point of adding documents or photos to a list but outside of and not linked to any particular item in that list. The app seems unable to reliably sync between devices and the Watch app is frankly a hot mess. Right now the app feels very much like a school project, maybe some sort of proof of concept, in either case the concept is in the toilet. The app needs a complete rethink and I’m not entirely sure if anything in its current form can be, or is worth salvaging.

Really not good at all

Hangs
Unusable - just hangs every time I enter settings
Response from developer
Please check the new update. The issue should be fixed.
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.

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.
