Only issue is notifications. I am not getting notified of my assignments, even after turning on notifications for each assignment one by one. ### 3/5 — Amazing, BUT… *2025-10-13, version 1.9.1* I’ve been using this app since undergrad; I’m now in law school and have loved this app so much. I love the way it’s structured and it has kept everything SUPER organized. My ONE single complaint is that no matter what I tried, no matter how many times I redownloaded it and deleted it, I could never get this app to sync with my phone. It’s super important to me that I see all of my tasks on my laptop also on my phone (for convenience and organization sake), and it’s so disappointing that I can’t. Been trying to get it to work for the past year but still no luck. If I had that feature, I wouldn’t leave this app 5 stars; I’d leave 15 stars. ### 2/5 — Quiz , Study Units and Summative Tabs *2025-03-08, version 1.9.1* They should include the above tabs as well and include a start and end date ### 4/5 — Great assignment tracking *2024-11-18, version 1.9.1* It is a good app to keep track of assignments and due dates, especially as a new university student. I do however wish there was a way to group the subjects into folders, for example for university file by year with subjects. ### 3/5 — Good App but a few glitches *2024-10-24, version 1.9.1* I love this planner so much, the only thing is when I go to change the date an assignment is due it freezes and I have to force quit ### 3/5 — Keep in mind *2024-10-24, version 1.9.1* I’ve used this app for a couple of years and it’s great but recently the reminders aren’t working. If I turn them on then leave the app then go back into it a couple days later, the notification of turned off. It’s very stressful because I need those reminders and I like how I can use it on all my devices. Please fix this issue. I really don’t want to find another app. ### 3/5 — Notifications still not working *2024-09-27, version 1.9.1* I love this app as it helps me organize between classes. Even after the update the notifications aren’t coming through for reminders. Please fix this! ### 2/5 — Notifications *2024-09-05, version 1.9.1* There are no notifications no matter what settings I change both in app or in my settings. I even went and turned them on individually for each assignment just for them to disappear. ### 2/5 — Won’t send notifications *2024-06-11, version 1.9* I like how the app is set up, with being able to separate assignments for classes, but I haven’t gotten any notifications about due dates coming up even though I have every option on. I have “1 week before,” “one day before,” “morning/night,” and “one hour before” all turned on but I haven’t received a single notification, which is the main point of the app for me. The notification setting is turned on in my phones setting, but nothing has been sent. ### 2/5 — Date picker issue *2024-02-21, version 1.8* Yea the date picker doesn’t work at all. The app is great and would be super helpful if I could actually change the dates of when my assignments are due lol. ### 3/5 — Crashes on Mac *2024-02-11, version 1.8* Overall this is a helpful tool for work, however, there is no point in using if it's going to chash every time I try and put a due date in. Please fix this issue ### 2/5 — Extremely Buggy *2024-01-27, version 1.8* Although visually appealing and useful in its intended purpose, this app is poorly coded and should have likely filtered thru some sort of quality assurance process. The app consistently fails to register input when adding/nodifying assignment dues dates on new assignment entries. When this occurs, the app will not register mouse or keyboard input and can only be terminated utilizing app's Dock content menu. For the Developer --- MacBook Pro 2012, M1 Max, Version 14.3, 32 GB RAM ### 5/5 — Great app *2024-01-27, version 1.8* I love this app but I have an update idea, add a timetable, so we can manage it all in one app. ### 5/5 — Amazing App! *2023-12-03, version 1.8* This app is everything I wanted in a planner! When looking for a planner, I wanted one that could separate assignments and exams to help me keep track of both. I also wanted mine to give me notification for when assignments were do which this does perfectly! The app also allows you to create multiple assignments for one assignment, so if you want to do 2 Math problems a day, you can set that up in the app! The only problem with the app is that I’ve noticed a new glitch where when making an assignment you can’t adjust the due date unless you make the assignment then click back into it then adjust it, but other than that it’s amazing! ### 2/5 — Would be brillaint but it crashes *2023-11-27, version 1.8* Really good concept, but keeps freezing and crashing ### 5/5 — great organization tool for school! *2023-11-10, version 1.8* this is by far my favorite organization app for school since it keeps track of all assignments and exams sorted by class. I also love how you can also customize the color for each class. i also love how it syncs with both my phone and ipad. some suggestions for improvement: 1. there’s a glitch where it doesn’t let you change the date when creating an exam/assignment sometimes. it lets me edit it after the exam/assignemnt is created so i’ve just been doing that to bypass the glitch. 2. i LOVE using the widget because it helps me remember if i forgot to do something as i’m swiping through my phone BUT it’s bright orange (very ugly). please make it so that we can change the color of the widget or that it just sticks by light/dark theme selected on the app. 3. sometimes i can add notes on tasks and sometimes i can’t. idk what’s up with that 4. i wish i could change the icons for classes but it only lets me change colors — currently it picks icons for me based on the name of the class Overall, I love this apps concept and convenience but would suggest improvements for improving glitches and customizability. ### 4/5 — Widget *2023-10-16, version 1.8* This app would be perfect if there was an option to have a plain widget instead of orange being the only option. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — love it but it crashes every time PLS FIX *2024-02-12, version 1.8* this app is very organized and i love the way it looks, but PLEASE fix the app. it crashes and forces me to shut down my computer every time i assign a due date to an assignment. please fix this, it's so annoying and i am going to delete it because it has still not been fixed after so long of using it. ### 1/5 — Date Picker Issue *2024-01-27, version 1.8* I wrote a review for the desktop version briefly detailing an issue whereby the app doesn’t respond to mouse or keyboard entries when manipulating the date. I have since determined that the issue isn’t specific to the desktop version, as I have experienced issues with the mobile version as well. The source of the issue is the date picker - impacting both the mobile and desktop versions. In the mobile version, the date picker is completely unresponsive to touch. I identified this as the case when attempting to add Exam entries. That seems like something easily identified during development. So much for Quality Control and Beta Testing. ### 1/5 — Too many bugs *2024-01-17, version 1.8* This used to be my favourite scheduling app but the amount of bugs when adding due dates to assignments became unbearable. Had to literally restart my laptop several times just to close the one application. Would not recommend for efficiency. ### 1/5 — Horrible. *2023-09-26, version 1.8* Can't click anything after adding one assignment. ### 1/5 — App Doesn't Work At All *2023-05-07, version 1.7* I was excited to use this organizer for my school projects and exams, but the functionality is lacking. It freezes constantly and is impossible to put due dates into. ### 1/5 — DO NOT USE *2023-01-19, version 1.7* this app crashed as soon as I started working on it and it wont allow me to close, quit or even shut down my computer. After a long day in college and at work, this just made my evening horrible! I'm so mad! Do not use this app! It crashes immediately! ### 1/5 — Notifications for assignments *2023-01-18, version 1.7.1* The app was helpful for the past year and a half. Now, for some reason no matter how many times I turn on all the notifications, they keep turning off. At this point, I’m gonna have to start searching for another app that gives me notifications a week, day, morning and hour before. If anyone has anyone recommendations, let me know. ### 1/5 — App freezes. Email not working *2023-01-13, version 1.7* So this app freezes and when I emailed App support the email bounced. ### 1/5 — Everything disappeared *2022-11-09, version 1.7.1* Was a really good app until an update came : boom…All of my assignments and homework disappeared, now I have to do it all over again, and I’m in my final terms now, I don’t have much time to deal with my planner 😬 ### 1/5 — crashes macbooks *2022-10-08, version 1.7* this app freezes and causes computers to crash. dont use ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app, would recommend! *2025-12-02, version 1.9.1* This app is so sleek and has easy access to add any exam or assignment. The only reason I give it a 4/5 is because you can’t add any assignment or exam from an Apple Watch, you can’t add only view your assignments. Other than that, I love it and is definitely the best free homework planner app! ### 5/5 — Great app for University *2025-10-20, version 1.9.1* This app has helped me keep track of my assignments and exams, its been incredibly useful for me and I will continue to use it probably past my university time into the working world too. ### 5/5 — Amazing app *2025-09-10, version 1.9.1* This planner app has singlehanded brought my grade from 60s to 90s, it is great to keep track of due dates for various assignments and exams ### 5/5 — I love this app! *2025-08-18, version 1.9.1* I’ve used this for almost 3 years, and it’s amazing! I’ve never been locked out of features because I need to pay and can use this app for free to my heart’s content! It’s great for keeping organized and I love the confetti after I check off a task. Great for school! ### 5/5 — Planner Review *2025-05-22, version 1.9.1* I just started a doctor of chiropractic program and I have numerous assignments a week plus multiple exams on top of that and the planner app has become an essential tool for keeping me organized! So glad I found this app! ### 5/5 — A Really Simple Yet Effective Planner *2025-02-25, version 1.9.1* I found the Assignment Planner to be simple to use yet perfect to keep my time management strategies on track. ### 5/5 — Awesome app and helps so much at school *2025-01-21, version 1.9.1* We have to write a homework in our plans, but everyone usually forgets and they end up getting her mind or a warning for not doing their homework but with this app you can get notifications. It’s so amazing I started using it because I found the App Store and then my best friend started using it and then I spread it to others my other of my friends and now nearly everybody in my class uses it. It’s so good. Hundred percent recommend downloading it. the only bad thing is you have to buy the set of cool icons. But otherwise this app is definitely worth it. ### 5/5 — College Level *2024-11-13, version 1.9.1* This is the first planner app that actually works for college students. It doesn’t require google classroom or any specific school used apps. It has due dates for assignments, organizing the most important dates itself. It has the option to add several class subject and make them each a different color which really helps. It also separates exams from assignments. It’s simple to use, easy to learn, and effective. I love it. ### 5/5 — Simple and Efficient *2024-10-18, version 1.9.1* I was looking for a planner that would be simple and easy for me to organize the schedules for all five of my college classes. When I found this one, it immediately met my desires and provided me with the tools I was searching for. While it's simple, it is efficient and helps me stay on top of my work. Whether for day-to-day tasks or classwork, I highly recommend downloading this app--it's minimal in aesthetic, but maximal in usefulness! ### 5/5 — An overall amazing tool *2024-03-08, version 1.8* The clean and simple look is much is well made their just a couple bug fixes that need to be made, like being able to go back a page or having to hold the date selection to choose a date, but other than that amazing app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
