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 😁

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.

Wow

Just downloaded this app, and already impressed. Easy to use, highly functional, and now even looking at this indie (?) developer’s other apps. Quality! Reminds me of the golden age of quality app developers circa 2009. Maybe it’s now possible to sustain this level and QUALITY of development because of the subscription business model. Anyway, excellent app, thank you!

Thank you so much! :)

Useless

This App starts up and shows a Window to accept the Terms and from that point on, you can't click anything. It freezes completely. Force closing is necessary. Reinstalled 2 times and same issue. Buggy App on Monterey.

PLEASE UPDATE FOR M2!

You can tell that this app has had a lot of work put into it - it has a beautiful interface, amazing widgets & the layout is so user friendly, but everytime I begin to really dive in it quits unexpectedly - i typically never hit the 'send to apple' (or write reviews) but did this time because I REALLY want the developers to fix the bugs so it can work with the latest macM2 software.

(also a calendar subscription would be the best) <3

Really awesome app but could improve

For now, when I add a task to a workflow, it requires the task to have a duration. However, if I select it, there will be an option under the three dots menu that allows me to add it to the workflow, which was not able to do before. By doing that, the task will have a "0:00" duration in the workflow.
I am not sure if this is on purpose, but I see this isn't very clear. If it is a problem, I think my solution will be to combine the "workflow" feature with the "focus" feature, which is only available in tasks with duration too. They are very similar in terms of functionality and time management. Also, in addition to "focus," I think there should be a "time tracking" feature, which is almost the same as if I added a "0:00" duration task into a workflow and started the timing. The "+00:00:00" can show just as a standard timer, making this app a self-report time tracker. This feature is also in a lot of productivity tools nowadays.

Hi. This issue should be resolved now :) The other things will be part of a feature in a software update soon :)

Not intuitive but has potential

This app is not easy to navigate. I can’t add a task from the home page. That’s a deal breaker. This app needs some further usability testing, as simple tasks are hard to complete. The desktop version is much better.

Best planner app.
It's Perfect down to the last piece of it
it's Perfect.

I got pay baited

What seemed like a cool app I had to immediately delete because everything that has a moderate amount of utility is locked under premium. I get it, this is created to make money and generate revenue, but how can we get a taste of what the app is and get hooked into it with some of the ridiculous limitations of the free version? E.g. I wanted to create a few lists and start adding tasks - hold up, you can only create 2 lists in the free version. Insta deleted - and no I don’t want to try demo versions that get me to submit my CC info and forget to cancel. Unlock some of your app’s features and make them more accessible under the free version to at least showcase your product before asking us to commit.

Poor performance lately

Love the app and concept but really buggy, freezing, crashing and not updating latey, working better on mobile.

Response from developer

The issue is resolved in the latest 9.0 update
