There's potential here!

Cool little app with lots of potential and combining quite a few features normally found by installing numerous apps. I've had issue, though and decided to abandon this little number for now. The problems were:
1. The "Done" button didn't do anything when a note was completed to a task. I couldn't even close the app without force quitting it.
2. When creating lists sometimes their name wouldn't show up on the side bar.

So there are some bugs but I can see where this could be going and could quite happily use it if it "just worked" ;)

Great App

I have just updated to Big Sur and got this app. I have been looking for a to do list app and have tried everything from Word to Chrome Todoist but Due to the simple layout and the ease to use, I shall stick to this app for now.

Response from developer

Thank you a lot!

Elegant Planner

This is a simple to use, nicely designed, and powerful planner. It has features for casual users all the way to power planners.

The developer is quick to respond, and personable. He has helped me with my minor questions within minutes of my submitting them.

This app also works on both the laptop and easily syncs with my mobile.

All of this combined makes Planny 5 an app that should definately be downloaded!

update is a thumbs down

I like the visual interface of the update however the functionality is terrible. I prefer my current day to be the first thing I see (like before the update). if i’m on a future date and add a task, it should populate to the date i’m on, not add to my current day. and every time I edit, move, or delete any task from a future date, i’m then kicked back to the current day. this is frustrating if i’m trying to plan the sequence of my day

Amazing

Man you did so good on this app. I have been using it for a day and already loving it. I have finally stopped my search of finding a good to-do list app.

great ui design and workflow

I am pleased with everything I see so far. I love th stats that help me stay accountable to myself. Can you please add a menu bar option (no dock) only please in the next update? If you do add it, it would be great to have a quick task add option in the menu. Cheers

An almost perfect app

I mean it quite literally / the app has just about everything I wanted.
But unfortunately routines seem to have been neglected, they don’t naturally integrate with your tasks list / day, the Routines page shows these big squares that hold absolutely no information except the title of the routine task and there is no order to those tasks (Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner could be ordered as L,B,D)

Oh and the calendar tries to confuse you by showing you the previous month first, for no reason...

Other than that this app is perfect I really do want to like it. It just isn’t quite there, unfortunately.

I really really do appreciate the effort and everything the app does do. I just wish routines weren’t neglected and were more functional.

Also, the calendar should have a little • under the dates for dates where events are happening and maybe another dot to show deadlines for tasks.

I WISH this was the app I’ve spent forever looking for, it just misses the mark unfortunately.

Please check out the all new update (5.0) :)

Great App but Some Features Are Missing

I believe this to be a great organization app with its simple design and seamless flows between screens. But I believe there are a few things that are missing.

1. I think the app should have natural language to be able to just type and the task can then add the date and time. This could also auto add the task to the calendar for view.

2. I think that in the list section. For example when making a list like groceries. You should be able add different things without having to add a fruit then hit return on the keypad to have to hit the add button again to add another item to the list. I believe when hitting return it should add the item that has already been typed into that field to add to the list and instantly you can add the next item to that list. This would make the process a lot more seamless as well as add more utility to the list section when adding items.

Outside of that this app is very light and operates smoothly. Can’t wait to see what feature the dev have planned for this yr. I’m looking forward to signing up for the lifetime family plan to have my family work with a simple and effect app that just works.

Response from developer

1) That Feature is planned for a future update of Planny 4. 2) Good point. There might be some changes in the future.

Great app for getting life organized.

Planny 4 has become my go-to app for getting things done. Being able to create lists for shopping, meal planning, to-do lists for home and work, email lists, etc.; and then being able to take those lists and organize them using the calendar is awesome.

It can also be used along with my laptop for even easier entry and organization.

I was also impressed by the quick response from the developer when I had a question as well.

5 stars for sure!

Does not sync reminders

Great independent reminders app. However I was slightly mislead by the iCloud sync. This will just keep all devices synced that run the app. I use Microsoft at work and need a reminders app that will sync to iOS reminders so that I can also see those reminders. $35 donation. Maybe this will be added in the future or if we could set as default reminders app perhaps that would work.
