Also, I would like to see an option to change the color of the app icon. ### 4/5 — Great app which makes you intentional *2021-04-21, version 1.6.6* I love this app and the developer is very open to suggestions. Keep up the good work. Future improvement : can we be able to edit when we want to be notified? ### 5/5 — LOVE IT!! *2020-12-20, version 1.5.2* Its so great - don't think just get it! You'll be happy you did!! ### 5/5 — Adorei!! *2020-12-03, version 1.3.2* App perfeito! Sou pisciana e minha vida melhorou muito depois dele! ### 4/5 — Really good start *2020-07-18, version 1.0* Next add a way to view how you’re spending your time over x time period. Ideally the app would be smart enough to help identify how much time you have to increase/decrease to meet your goals. ### 5/5 — Great app, but here are some suggestions. *2020-07-18, version 1.0* -pie chart of every day, every week, every month. -being able to have emojis show up in circles for certain activities. For example you could have a bed emoji for sleeping. -a week and month view, instead of only a day view. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 2/5 — Need better purchase plan *2024-07-11, version 2.0.4* This is a low maintenance app, give users the one off unlock option please ### 2/5 — Great idea with a couple fatal flaws *2023-05-25, version 1.8.5* I really love the idea of this app and love the interface. I have ADHD and was looking for an easy way to visualize my day and get reminders to start certain tasks. This is great for that. I like that you have a set of categories and that you can easily pull down into the day and track, because it’s tedious in other apps to have to create new blocks for every little thing. I prefer using paper to do lists and so just needed something to help me visualize my day. I do sometimes use the to do lists in the app though. Two issues will keep me from being able to actually use this, and I’m bummed about that. First, there are no reminders. The whole point of planning my day is so I can get reminders when to start certain tasks. Every other day planning app has reminders so I’m not sure why this app does not. If you add reminders I would use this app daily and bump up the star rating. Without them it’s fun but useless to me. Second and less important is that the sub tasks, to do lists, and notes attach to the activity on an app level rather than to the activity block for the day. So if I have two “shopping” activity blocks for my day and make a to do list for the first one that has all the items I need to buy it also shows up for the block later that day and even a block planned for the next day. I know when i mark a to do list item as done it disappears but it still makes it hard to plan. Or if I have two “work” blocks and have a sub-activity of “project 1” and “project 2” it shows both those sub activities for both blocks that day, even if I want to work on project 1 for the first block and project 2 for the second block. It would be fantastic to be able to indicate whether the sub activity, to do list, notes show up for just that specific activity block or for the app level activity. This would be nice but I’d still be able to use the app without it. One more suggestion would be to be able to drag and drop to more easily move around the blocks and have them adjust accordingly. Having to highlight each block gets tedious. ### 2/5 — Really love this app, but it’s currently broken. *2022-08-19, version 1.8.5* This app gives an amazing 10 minute breakdown of your day in an excellent visual format, it is very intuitive and makes planning fun. There is a monthly paid model for all features, I don’t mind this. But the app is currently broken and sends multiple notifications, if you edit a “block” you get the old notification as well as the new one. Overall it has become a very messy experience. I reached out to the dev and got no response. Please don’t let the app die. 8 month no update. Send help please. ### 3/5 — Misleading *2025-02-17, version 2.2.7* I find it to be predatory in nature that this app conveniently asks for a review right before showing you that you need to pay a subscription just to use it. ### 3/5 — Could be good but somewhat annoying *2022-04-20, version 1.8.5* I need to press “no notification “ every single time after I set up a bloc. Wth! ### 4/5 — Glad to see improvements but *2024-06-26, version 2.0.4* I’m happy to see this app continue to have updates. But the activity selector should be bigger or at least with a search in it. It was easier to select the activity before. ### 4/5 — Great Little App - Don't buy premium *2024-01-20, version 1.8.5* Love this guy, exactly what I was looking for. It completely takes the effort out of keeping a time diary. Amazing. So easy. Some notes: - I upgraded to premium...it's exactly the same or at least I could not tell the difference. Don't upgrade - The analytics are terrible but it's cute that they tried. ### 4/5 — I like it but developer appears to have abandoned the app *2023-08-14, version 1.8.5* I’d love to pay for premium but even that is broken. ### 4/5 — Needs Widget *2022-12-11, version 1.8.5* This is my favorite time tracker app. Unfortunately I’m using others as they have widgets for a quick glance. Hopefully we’ll get Blocos widgets soon! ### 4/5 — Good but could use more features. *2022-01-27, version 1.8.5* Needs to work on the notification feature. Getting one every 10mins is annoying. But like some notifications. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing! Love it to bits *2024-07-01, version 2.0.4* I love how this is a different way of viewing time blocking. Much better suited for my brain. Can’t wait to see how this app grows. Eagerly awaiting web access and widgets then I’ll be a superfan 🥰 ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-05-09, version 2.0.1* I love this app. It’s a great way to plan your day and having the to do list as an option is amazing. ### 5/5 — Life changing *2024-03-07, version 1.8.5* Life-saver ### 5/5 — Great app, effortless time diary. DONT BUY PREMIUM *2024-01-20, version 1.8.5* Love this app and it’s exactly what I was looking for. Completely takes the effort out of keeping a time diary. Amazing. Easy. It’s definitely basic but very effective. Notes: - Premium is a joke, I could not tell the difference between that and the free one. Don’t purchase. - the analytics are trash but it’s cute that they tried. I keep my own on a spread sheet so it doesn’t effect me. Improvements for developers - hire somebody to help with the analytics or just take them out completely, poor effort - it’s nice that you can have subcategories but you can’t really use them. You should be able to have the sub categories “drop down” and view them on pie charts. - For a gold star. Be able to see the running average over time, be it a day, week, month or year. In the same way your apple health app does it just by clicking a tab you can get the average for that time period. - love what you’ve done so far, great analytics would be the last puzzle piece for me. ### 5/5 — I love it! *2024-01-04, version 1.8.5* I love it! For those who can organise their hole day. For example anyone self employed, it’s perfect. ### 5/5 — It's exactly the thing I've been looking for! *2022-12-11, version 1.8.5* Easy to add and manipulate activity allocation; pie charts and graphs are spot on; easy management; no nonsense; you don't have to subscribe to any opinionated model. Found it on WaitButWhy comments sections ### 5/5 — Good all *2022-06-08, version 1.8.5* This is a really good app I just wish it gave me the ability to see what I put in on myPhone also transferred to the app on my iPad ### 5/5 — Love it *2022-05-16, version 1.8.5* Made me realise I was wasting so much time! Long study sessions really don't work and you stretch it over the whole day.... it's a wonderful app to track study etc. ### 5/5 — How is this planner not on the top list? *2021-11-17, version 1.8.3* This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’ve tried just Todoist, Things 3, wunderlist et cet. Things app works great for my scattered mind. ### 5/5 — Really good, anything missing is in premium *2021-01-11, version 1.5.5* Overall a fantastic app, would recommend. I think the “little things” I want like more stats and such are available in the premium, so really no complaints here. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
