Pointless without times in the events
Every time I enter an event the time does not show on the list for the day. Pointless.
Wish it had widgets
I wish it had a widget for iOS 10 so I can check off reminders without having to open app.
I love this app
This app isn't for everyone and the free version is essential. Once you get used to it, though, it becomes a powerful diary & planner tool, with a clean approach. It would be great to have a web version, but probably not worth it technically. Integration with other calendar apps is seemless. Highly recommend!

Phenomenal for switching from GTD to a time blocking approach
This is a fantastic calendar app if you're looking to map out blocks of time to be productive, rather than just keep track events. It's a productivity calendar rather than just a standard calendar is how I'd put it.
In my case I had bought and tried about 5 different types of premium calendar apps besides ical, but none of them were fast enough or built with the right features and flexibility to handle tasks and time blocking properly.
To give you an example, rather than set a start and end time for each appointment, you set a start time and a duration, and you can add a checklist for what's supposed to get done during the time block. For me that's a far more effective approach than most apps have for appointment entries. Also, if you don't know where you can fit a task in during a day, you can enter it as a task format and then switch it to an appointment format later.
Absolutely love this app!

Brilliant idea crappy follow-through
Glass Planner could be a killer app in the task management space. The concept is a radical vision in the vast wasteland of GTD centric list based task management apps. One of the very few apps that understand that task management must be calendar centric then coupled the concept with an elegant UI well-designed for the phone environment. An utter failure to understand however that no one with a REAL task list is going to input their individual tasks using a thumb keyboard. A task managment app MUST have zero friction task capture/input, Glass has massive friction getting your tasks into the system. Also falls into the fantasy that having an algorithm suggest the task to fill the time available is value-adding. NO - software that helps ME plan my tasks is the killer not software that presumes the time available is the key parameter. Slide Rule software appears to have abandoned a product that had enormous potential but did not take off because of very "fixable" flaws. It's sad really because the potential was enormous.

Great to-do/calendar app!
This app it's great! I hate having tons of different apps for to-do, lists and events. With Glass I can manage everything in one place. And once you learn how to use it, it's super easy and fast!! Great job!
Great App
This is by far the best planner app that I have found. It does everything I was hoping all the other ones would do and has allowed me to go from using two apps to one app for all of my stuff. Thank you Glass people!
I loooove this calendar
The only reason I am lowering from 5 stars is because there is no time zone support!! I was flying eastbound (into the future) and an event that I had a alarm for failed to go off because it was schedule for the "past" as soon as I landed and my phone clock updated 😭. Glass I missed an important phone call and will change my rating when this feature is added.

Non existing Desktop App is the down fall
The app works great on an iPhone and iPad yet you can not operate it on a mac. It would be really handy to be able to edit tasks and things from my computer.
Almost perfect, NEEDS iPad support
Best productivity app I've ever used, hands down. For a consistent postponer like me, the Flexible tasks are great at keeping me aware without being concrete enough to feel hopeless when I delay them. And the project nesting, while present in apps such as Omnifocus, is slim and versatile. Nesting projects within each other is not complicated, so it's easy to be creative with your organizing. The best thing about Glass is that I never really feel restricted by the internal structures of the task management, so it has tons of capacity for customizability.
However, I have to deduct a star because of the slow pace of dev updates and the lack of a proper iPad app (or web app). Currently tasks cannot sync between devices, so if I want to plan my day or add tasks to my inbox while at the office, I have to do so on my phone. I am willing to bet I'm not the only person who can't appear tied to their personal phone in front of their boss all day. A web or iPad app would also be great for quick entry, which is one of Glass's few weak spots. At least with a computer or an iPad (and keyboard) it would be easier to dump 10-20 tasks at once.
Anyway, fantastic app and definitely my favorite task management software (Omnifocus is second placed for me, in case you need a solid alternate option that does have iPad and desktop support). I hope the Slide Rule has been working hard on a new update for us! Maybe something new and fresh to mark the arrival of spring
