Parker Planner Classic (old version) User Reviews

Good but could be better

I really like the app. However there are a few glitches that need to be ironed out. One example is adding events. Sometimes when I go to add a calendar event it will deny the event saying this event doesn't fit in the event store. I would also like to see the month calendar have the ability to rotate when I turn my phone. Other than that it is a great planner.

Good, but still half baked

It's good, but still just essentially a skin for your calendar with some added word processing features. Hopefully the todo will get fully flushed out soon with sync options and the ability to set it to appear on a certain date. Also would be nice if I could choose the color each calendar displays in instead of having to use the randomly assigned color from the already existing calendar app.
The main advantage is everything on one page which is very nice to have.

Nothing Special

Very little flexibility in how you display your calendar. If you like the look, you're in luck. For me there is not enough detail on my events as I like to be able see the event location right from the screen like you can on Week Cal or Calengoo. Also, it's too easy to accidentally swipe and delete an event from the list view.

Perfect & Getting Better Everyday

Update: The developer was quick to respond to my requests, was a pleasure to talk to, and implemented any & all issues I identified. Not only this, but he did it fast and did it well.

Parker Planner is an A+ application. You owe it to yourself to download it.

I've spent hours sifting through calendar & to-do apps looking for one worth replacing Apple's stock apps; I've seen them all and not one was worth the additional software.
That is, until this one was released.

Beautiful design! Most functional layout I've seen in any organizer app thus far! It's earned a spot on my first home screen, top row, and I use it daily.

Not to mention, the developer provides - hands down - the best support response I have ever received from an iOS developer in my entire iOS-career (which has been around since the very first iPhone.)

If you buy any one productivity app: Make it ParkerPlanner.

To the reviewer who says it crashes: you must be using a reallyyy old iOS or a reallyyy old iOS device, because this app has not once crashed on me.
You are confused regarding the race reviews because your experience is individual to you - and apparently no one else. Perhaps you need to update your product. The problem doesn't lie in the app.

Great planning app!

I love that this app syncs with google calendar. It makes it much easier to type things in while on the computer. I also like the lists and to dos integrated with then calendar, as well as the different levels of calendar view. The developers are also very responsive to feedback on how to make the calendar better.

Like the look and feel, but I'm seeing all red

The app is fast and looks great. I like being able to jump to any date very quickly and easily. The following recommendations have been given, but I'll restate them...I would like 'all day' events not showing red throughout the day, alerts for events, and turning on/off calendars.

Finally!

I have been looking for an App like Parker Planner since the first 2G iPhone.
Everything you need is easily viewable and accessible.
Hoping that this App will get some love by developer and be updated regularly.
It still needs a few things before i can give it 5 Stars.
1) ToDo's that can be entered for Future Dates instead of always being visible. also if dated todo's are not completed if they can be carried over to following day, highlighted and moved to top of list.
2) Easy reordering of ToDo's
3) Heres a cool idea. Swipe ToDo's right to left to delete. Swipe Left to right to move to next day or another specified day.

Great App please keep up the great work and i am also looking forward to an iPad version.

Pleasant design

Knowing functions will further be improved over time, I will not bother to write about those. Above all, the design itself is far superior than any other apps. I use this app to add line item and using My Calendar to get bigger picture in monthly view. As far as design goes, maybe Refills can compete against to this. Highly recommended.

I'm giving four star as I could see room for improvement.

Finally, all in one!

This planner fits perfectly with the way I plan my day. It's the most efficient way I've seen so far to see all aspects of one's plan. How awesome is that? And with all the updates it just keeps getting better and better! Well worth it!

Um....I'm definitely now a fan.

I'm pretty impressed. Appointments, notes, to dos. Syncs with Goog calendar (or any calendar my phone syncs to), which is definitely my most important need in a planner app. Definitely pleased. The developer has been really responsive and on the ball with support and fixes. I likey. Just need the month view to be a tad faster. So 4 and a half stars outta 5:)
