### 5/5 — LOVE IT ❤️

*2020-03-12*

This is exactly what I needed. Simply, an app where I can set the exact amount of time to work on every task. There are things that could be improved for sure, the app feels like it’s at the very first stages, I’d figure, it would be cool to be able to “import” lists of things to do that you wrote in Notes for instance, and have them be turned in tasks. 
It would be cool to be able to have a “pause” button, for when something happens in the day that steals away time.
But, anyway, before asking for requests I’m still figuring out how to organize my self for self improvement, so, when I’ll be in tune with that I’ll be able to figure out how the app could function at best. For now, this is perfect for me, and there’s no other app that does this exact thing, so 👍🏻👍🏻

### 5/5 — Just brilliant!!

*2019-11-28, version 1.2.1*

I’ve been searching for a day planner that is clean and simple to use and not cluttered with unnecessary features. This app so far perfectly fits the bill. Love the ease in which you can organise your day activities and how it helps you develop time management skills in the process. Highly recommended for those who are looking for a simple but effective solution to better organising their day.

### 5/5 — Great tool - just what I need

*2019-09-24, version 1.2.0*

Love the simplicity of this app and the huge flexibility it gives. Thanks very much.

### 5/5 — LOVE this app!

*2019-07-04, version 1.1.3*

As the other reviewer wrote, this is an amazing tool indeed! Simple to use and SO helpful! I too wish I had gotten this years ago...

### 5/5 — Amazing tool

*2019-06-20, version 1.1.3*

Wish I found this sooner, good bye procrastination

### 5/5 — Very user friendly app doing exactly what it says on the tin

*2019-04-24, version 1.1.2*

I have spent far too much time before I found what I was looking for: an app that simply lets me quickly and easily plan my day without having to register, sign in, learn all the bells and whistles and have the additional stress of cancelling or postponing the tasks that I didn’t manage to complete. There is a myriad of other apps which deal with task management, teamwork or life goals. If you need a user friendly and intuitive app to put together and easily manage your timetable, this is perfect. 

The additional bonus Is amazing support: I didn’t know how to resolve the sound notification issue and I emailed Jon, and he responded within five minutes! Thank you and keep up great work!

### 5/5 — The best day planning app I’ve used so far

*2019-03-30, version 1.1.2*

I think this might be the first review I’ve left for an app. I really like the simplicity of it... many other apps have a load of additional things that I don’t need... this just allows me to set out the tasks I want to perform and the time expected. Easy to reorder tasks as well. I like it!

### 5/5 — Brilliant

*2019-01-16, version 1.1.1*

This app works so well and is easy to use. It keeps me structured and on time. I've set up few weekly routines to help make the most of my time and I often use it on the weekend to smash out some life admin so I can free up time for relaxing.

### 5/5 — Perfect

*2018-11-21, version 1.1.1*

This is a great wee app for planning your day. I have tried a few but they are over-complicated. This is intuitive and easy to use.

### 5/5 — love it!

*2018-09-04, version 1.0.4*

super efficient, easy to use, and keeps me on task!

### 1/5 — Not working

*2020-10-01, version 1.3.0*

Just downloaded and it says to connect iCloud, which I did and it still won’t love out of that screen. Annoying.

### 1/5 — can’t use without iCloud

*2018-09-06, version 1.0.4*

I couldn’t even get past the warning to turn on iCloud to actually see how the app looked like. I don’t use iCloud because it wants me to upgrade to be able to accommodate all my files and I don’t really access my phone files in any other device so it’s useless to upgrade just to be able to use this app.

### 3/5 — Requires iCloud sync

*2026-02-19, version 1.3.0*

I like the neat and simple layout of this app but there’s no way to try or use it without iCloud sync. Trying to put in a single task causes it to crash.

I find this a puzzling requirement for the app and inconvenient because I have no storage.

Can this be changed?

### 3/5 — Nice but limited

*2022-05-25, version 1.3.0*

So it is simple easy and reasonably priced, but I’d like a tiny bit more flexibility. So you set up 10 tasks and they are scheduled to complete by 5pm, for example…. But if you overshoot you have to manually go back and reset where you are up to.
A useful option would be click when complete, for each task… as you get bogged down, in, say take 3… it would be useful to see the final time slipping, but it doesn’t it just thinks you are already in task 4? Get me?

### 3/5 — Useful, but no share/export

*2021-05-10, version 1.3.0*

I would like to use this app for planning meeting agendas but there is no share to email capability. So it’s double work to keep information in synch.

### 4/5 — Good, but not great

*2020-09-22, version 1.2.1*

It would be good if you could see the start times when you are editing your schedule. Otherwise you have to save the schedule to see the start times and then edit it again with trial and error to get the times you want. Also it would be good when creating take if hitting the plus sign would save the current task and creat a new one, but instead the changes to the current task are lost.Other than that this is a great app for me to schedule my day and get a lot done. It’s just a little tedious editing and rearranging the tasks.

### 4/5 — Good

*2020-09-08, version 1.2.1*

I would like the option of using certain plans on certain days. For example being able to customize Monday to Friday only for my morning work routine rather than being prompted every day.

### 4/5 — Day Planner

*2020-03-13, version 1.2.1*

Really really helpful just wished you could add to the notifications so you can alter the plan as you go on. But apart from that it’s amazing! Changed my days

### 4/5 — Great app to organize your time

*2019-10-28*

It is a great support to anticipate your activities and times, if you want to be on time at work it tells you at what you should get to bed, just list your activities and assign time to each one. I’ve been looking for this kind of app for a long time, finally found it.

### 4/5 — Great

*2018-04-16, version 1.0.3*

Everything you need is in this app👍🏻 The whole idea is so simple and efective. The notifacations are very useful and effective. Would like to have more files to plan but overall a great app.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — So worthwhile

*2024-10-07, version 1.3.0*

This app is just what I was looking for. Creating a plan for how to spend my day seems to give me more time in the day! Instead of the day slipping by and many tasks being left untouched, creating a plan for spending every minute allows me to use that time deliberately.

### 5/5 — Beyond helpful for my ADHD!

*2022-12-29, version 1.3.0*

Thank you!

### 5/5 — Great underrated app

*2022-11-07*

This app has everything you need and is simple and easy to use, I am amazed it’s not more popular

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2022-07-11, version 1.3.0*

Love having a plan so I can get my day started and get a lot done. This app gets me so organized that I don’t have to worry about getting overwhelmed. Very easy to use and perfect before bed to make a plan for when you get up. Love it. Thanks!

### 5/5 — One of the best apps

*2022-02-11*

Actually I try many apps to find which really works for me.
But for the first tym I felt, may be this custom made for my needs.
Duration with timer is the one which I have been looking for.Loved it man😻😻😻keep going🤝🤝🤝

### 5/5 — Amazing!

*2021-04-11, version 1.3.0*

All the other planners were far too complex for me but this has the simplicity I need. Great for students who need to plan quickly and efficiently.

### 5/5 — Genius

*2020-11-12, version 1.3.0*

The ONLY app of its kind since 30/30 was sun-setted.  And it’s simplicity and flexibility is it’s super power.

I particularly love the fact you can build a plan backwards from a set time in the future back to the present moment - thereby creating a plan full of tasks (or breaks!) up until an actual time when you need to stop.

Setting up separate plans for say ones morning routine or a stack of Pomodoro and break intervals to just run in the background - super helpful to nudge us along.

And the new iOS 14 widget works wellI - thank you Jon - oh, and whilst here Jon - for Christmas, can you give us all an Apple Watch Complication Pleeeeeaaaaase - Pretty Pleeeaaaase with a cherry on top - that would make it 6 stars - in anticipation - thank you ;)  

Oh - and how about intermittent tick or better still a haptic - like, not every second - but say every 30 seconds or minute - you know ... to keep us reminded to stay on task, cheers ... meanwhile, Happy Christmas Jon!

### 5/5 — I really like this app!

*2020-06-16, version 1.2.1*

This app helps me see what I can get done in a day and allows me to easily rearrange my schedule when things change. 

Suggestion: I think it would be very helpful to be able to pin an activity for a certain time. For example, if I have a meeting at 10am, it would be nice if I could pin and hour long task at 10am and everything else would just flow around it. I would really love this feature!

### 5/5 — Game changer

*2020-05-16, version 1.2.1*

I’ve always been horrible at getting ready on time in the morning (sleeping in, having too long showers, not accurately judging how long I actually need to get ready, etc) and this app has made my mornings so much better. I can plan out exactly how much time I should spend on each art of my morning routine, so I know if I’m running behind. If I am running behind, I can figure out exactly what I have to cut back on so that I’ll still make it to work on time. 
Can’t give this app enough praise!

### 5/5 — Brilliant concept!

*2020-05-16, version 1.2.1*

OMG, this app was just what I’ve been looking for! I have ADHD and am terrible at schedules and routines, and I’ve tried to stick to a day planner app so many times before, but never could because they were so tedious to use. The way this one works, I’ve never seen another app like it, and it’s kind of hard to explain so you’ve got to try it yourself. This is just what I needed and actually user-friendly.
