Overhyped and now seemingly abandoned
As many apps are today, the dev hyped and promoted this app to the hilt only to stop supporting/updating it months after release. When you charge a premium and then seemingly abandon your app mere months later, you’re being disrespectful to your paying customers. This app hasn’t received a single update in well over four years. Where’s the update for iOS 14, 15, and 16? I’ve now subscribed to well over 100 apps, but this is one app that isn’t deserving of your hard earned coin. Subscription apps that go more than four years without a single update should be removed from the App Store. Devs that stop supporting/updating their apps shouldn’t be allowed to offer subscriptions. I’ll never support this developer again.

There is zero reason for this app to be subscription based
The things this app does should cost a 1 time fee of $2 tops. If you do an update, charge $2 for the new version.
Basic overpriced list making app
Seriously why should I pay $20 a year ongoing price for a list app as basic as this! Very disappointed, I am surprised apple features this. There are far better apps out there! I could accept this app if it was a fair $2 one time price. What exactly am I paying a subscription for?
To Do List Disappears
I downloaded this app specifically because I wanted a to-do list and the it won’t even let me add anything to my to-do list???? Trash.
Needs “Add Photo” feature in notes.
I would like the app to add a feature where we can add a photo or draw. Also more journal styles would be great!!
Well designed
Needs Shortcuts support though.
So far so good... except
Update: I’m lowering my review to 3 stars. Still love it, but there are some bugs and annoyances that would be seemingly simple to fix, yet the app hasn’t been updated in a long while. Not being a developer myself, however, I could be wrong about the simplicity of fixing the problems.
The specific problem I’m talking about is that here it is Sunday and I still have 2 tasks from Friday that have yet to be migrated. They haven’t even been migrated to Saturday yet. The migration feature is one of my favorites, but as I mentioned in my original review, it seems to just migrate whenever it wants to, rather than right at midnight like it should. And now it appears that it may not even migrate until 2 days later, assuming they finally migrate today. Basically, at this point, I am realizing the migrate feature is useless since it can’t be depended on to work consistently.
Original review: I’m gonna go ahead and rate this 4 stars even though I’ve only been using it for a few days. I may change my review as I get more into it, but so far this is what I think needs changed:
Tasks that are migrated to the next day need to be migrated right at midnight, not some random time during the day. As far as I can tell they are migrated just whenever the app feels like it I guess, which is kinda useless if I happen to check my tasks for the day before they happen to migrate.
One small disappointment was Week view. It’s basically just day view all in one screen, meaning instead of having the ability to set goals or tasks for that week, you are still limited to picking a day. I need a haircut this week, but I don’t know which day I’ll be able to fit it in, so I just want to throw it on the week view so I can make sure it gets done by the end of the week, but I can’t do that in this app unless I pick an exact day, which kinda makes the week view pointless. I mean sure it’s nice to see the entire weeks worth of events and tasks, but there should also be a place for weekly goals, same as the monthly goals in the month view.
In spite of those 2 things, I am seriously considering purchasing a subscription after my 14 day trial is up. Even with those small issues, this app is the closest I have ever found to what I want to manage my tasks and schedule.

Buggy sometimes
I have little to no problem with this app. It has helped me schedule all the things I need to get done in a busy day. My biggest problem with it is that it is constantly saying my trial has expired even though I have payed for the monthly pass. Each time it does this I have to sign out and back in again to get it to work. Other than that, it’s a great app.

Subscription costs too much for what it does.
Update: I kept my eye on the app to see how they improve or change it, and it’s been 9 months now. Why would I ever subscribe to an app that’s been abandoned.
“Tell your story” or whatever it’s called is just the Bear notes app but very watered down. If you have used Bear before, you’ll quickly see what essential organizational and layout features you’re missing.
The Today/Week/Month view with your tasks is very basic - not much to say here. The Habits tab is the best part of the app.
My major criticism is that for the features it offers it is far too expensive. Even though it might not all be packaged in one place, you can get all three of these features (notes, today view, and habits) in much cheaper apps with way more features.
I think it has potential. If cost is no issue and you’re fine spending $20 a year for three basic features wrapped into one app (i.e. you’re not a power user or need any advanced features) then I’d say this is the app for you. I would however recommend looking into Sorted 3 as well.

Never updated, no customer service
Too bad. This app is very nicely put together, aesthetically pleasant, simple and does almost everything I’d like it to. At least, it’s supposed to. It’s pretty buggy, and despite trying to contact the developers through the app and through Twitter, there are never any responses. They haven’t updated the app in over 8 months and seem content to take your money and leave you dangling in the wind.
DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY SUBSCRIBING TO THIS APP!!!!

Depends What You're Looking For
I've been a stationery girl all my life - I love pretty journals, colorful pens, etc. This app really scratches that itch. Its appearance is very customizable, even in the free version.
That said, the functionality needs work. The planning function is a super simple To Do list, although contrary to some other reviews, you can set reminders. But if you want to see a time associated with a task, you have to put it in your calendar. I'd like the option of a calendar-style view.
The habit tracker is so minimal that it's almost useless if you want to track more than a couple of habits. When you tic off a habit, it records when you completed it (if you choose), but it immediately resets. I want a habit to either disappear until tomorrow, or I want it to change color, remain checked, or reorder - anything that makes it easy to see what I haven't done yet. The more habits you add, the harder it is to figure out what remains to be done. Also, there's no way to set a habit for, say, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
The loose leaf function it okay, nothing fancy, but I can't find a way to delete a page.
While I strongly believe in supporting developers and don't mind subscriptions as opposed to a one-time charge, there really isn't enough here to justify the price at this time.

Writing
If I could write with my Apple Pencil I would definitely subscribe! 😩 This app is *almost* exactly what I’ve been looking for...so close. 😞
Love it but....
I was immediately sucked in by the design of this app. I've done bullet journaling and planners but I end up quitting the analog method as it takes too long and is bulky. This app's design fit that need perfectly in the design department! I want to love it SO BAD
However... definitely experiencing glitches right after downloading. Issue with to-do's just disappearing. Also agree with other users on needed fixes. I hope the dev team can implement some of these changes. Would definitely re-rate and would be my only planner app if so!!

Disappointed
It’s really pretty and seems like it would be worth the price, but it crashed several times within 5 minutes of downloading it.
On top of that, when I click my preferred calendar it links a different calendar (it did this twice and I couldn’t find any way to change calendars other than deleting it and re-downloading it).

Promising
This app has a lot of promise. However not enough for me to use. I’d need to see Apple Health support for meeting my health/activity based habits like other habit apps. Until then I’ll just keep using Streaks.
pretty good, could have more variety
i wish you could change more stuff on it like the set up and lay out. also more patterns, colors, fonts, etc
Potential
If you accidentally mark off a habit and delete it, the tally still shows that you marked off the extra habit.
Needs to be more robust in the task arena
I really like the feel of this app, but there are some big deficiencies in the task portion, such as...
-I don’t see a way to create recurring tasks
-I don’t see a way to create task categories
-I don’t see a way to create task reminders (time or location)
I like the integration of various things, but I need something a little more robust for tasks.

This app has so much potential!
I’ve been looking for something like this for a whole now, but it is not quite what I need yet.
- to do list integration with other to do apps. Trello, todoist, reminders, things... especially reminders
- ability to create recurring to dos
- agenda style schedule as an option, with the ability to see the “white space” in between appointments and see how long things last.
- ability to email into app for notes and todos.

To Do Don’t Save
I keep trying to add tasks and click on the + button or click on “done” but they auto erase and don’t save anywhere. Help? Otherwise I really like it so far.
