Underrated app full of potential
I’ve longed for an app like this for years and have relied on notepad apps, excel sheets and printed tables. Others were just too complicated or required yet another account to be created. This one doesn’t and it’s my best download of 2024. With apps like Trello, Strides and Todoist I hope this one stays as part of my workflow for the years to come. It does not only allow you to have your routine for each day layed out, but you can also save and pull up other versions you’ve created. When you’re working part-time or full time, have a day off or on vacation you can quickly get ready for that routine. You can set the time for each task and the app highlights—in a subtle but effective way—what you should be focusing on at the moment. Paying to have no ads for me is a red flag with any app, and I avoid them at all cost. But here it’s only $10 for what it offers! With the trend to transition from one-time payments to subscriptions I would take the ads out and select some features for a premium version. It’s a move that certainly meets resistance (said by a former 9-year Evernote user) but in my opinion this app is worth it. Suggestions: Some features I think would make it better would be a widget with the current task. I would have it as my lock screen background with nothing else. Adding a comment option to the tasks or day’s routine in general that opens up a pop-up box if one would like to add instructions or leave a comment to how it went for future routine revisions. Exporting/importing saved templates. Bulk editing colors and copying/deleting tasks in bulk when preparing the week to make the process quicker. Another great addition would be the option to set push notifications for tasks you think are important. In terms of what would need a check, sometimes when opening the app you’re shown a lot of past tasks that force you to scroll to the current one. Other times the current task is visible once the app is opened. It’s helpful that old tasks still appear, but their opacity should be reduced or a dark overlay put in front to tone them down and be identified as past tasks. Personally I would like an option to hide past tasks for a cleaner space. The app’s icon I would set it at the top left corner to serve as the menu button instead of the paragraph alignment symbol. Overall, this app is an App Store nugget that could easily reach editor’s choice. Really glad I found it!
