Don't Be Late! User Reviews

Top reviews

Love it!

Gorgeous, USEFUL, much appreciated!

Good Features, Limited Export/Share

I like having the ability to create a micro-plan. I wish there were alternative formats to sharing the plan such as to text, rtf/doc, csv, or pdf file. The html format is as not user friendly. Also, the report formatting could be improved so that the majority of the report was not shaded in dark blue with black text.

Very helpful for ADHD

Just UI is boring & UX isn’t the best, so it’s a 4-star

Wonderful

I really like the concept of this app. Small issue with sound hence the 4 stars but will happily change review to 5 stars once this is fixed.

Life- and Face-saving app

Hi Michael - I am very grateful for Don’t Be Late!. I hope you plan to keep maintaining and developing it, because it really is a lifesaver. I haven’t found anything that has all the features that I’m finding so helpful - recurring plans, option of keeping a plan as a template to copy tweak and reuse, I love that it talks to me, and does all the calculations for me when I have to make adjustments. I’m using it to do grown up things that other people seem to do naturally - have a morning routine, remember what I need to take with me on a daily basis, have a realistic idea of how long everyday things take, how much time I need to allow and how much time will be left for unplanned activities, make sure I actually do domestic chores regularly... all the things people with ADHD struggle with so much. Please keep up the great work! Something I’d love to see is a way to edit multiple steps, one after another, without jumping in and out of edit mode, and also, a way to see which plans have been set to recur from the plan list. Oh, and could we have another step before DBL obeys my ‘delete’ command that I accidentally gave - you know, a little box that says, “Do you REALLY want to delete this plan? Type YES to confirm”!

Great App

Takes away the need to jot down on paper when working backwards to see when I need to leave.

Also, very helpful when scheduling glitches come up to figure out how best to rearrange the day. Has significantly helped with my tendency to over-schedule myself!

Crashing since update

I love this app, 5 stars, but ever since I updated to IOS 14.4 it crashes on launch. I’ll update my review when I can open it again! Also, the sounds are really loud, even with the volume down. An option to set the in-app volume would be great. One other suggestion: an option to create a plan with no start date (just one that you can use “as needed”) would be much appreciated.

Game changer

It really really helps me. There’s a few explanations (like parts plan) or features that could be added (its Atari style basic), but whatever, I’m a better person with this app. I underestimated how much of a difference microscheduling would help me, not only by facilitating planning, but also by having an external regulator.

Incredibly frustrating!

I absolutely LOVE this app! I set my kids up on it...I have about it to others...but it keeps spontaneously crashing whenever I open it. I've updated my phone, made sure that the app was updated but STILL it won't open 😩. I've had to delete it and reinstall TWICE and then recollect or rebuild ALL my plans each time. I even sent an email to support before giving up and deleting it the first time and never got a response 😔.

PLEASE update and fix this problem!!! When it works it's a life saver!

Not accessable

I have ADHD, and I would love to be able to use this app. But, I’m blind and this app isn’t accessable to the blind.

Love this!

Very helpful - somehow the countdown is more effective than a schedule. I would quickly pay $20 for this app to sync in real time across my phone, watch and iPad.

Response from developer

Thanks for the nice review! If you see areas that can be better, or where new features are needed, we are listening! And on that note, we will be looking into sync options and see what can be done for the watch too. How hard can it be, right? :)

A true must have and disgustingly underrated

Start using it and then suddenly you won't be able to live without it
I have ADHD and I'm always late even when I freaking get up 2 hours early!
I just needed an assistant that could micro manage my daily life, uwigg a duration and time based approach.
I tried and tries and God knows I tried apps and apps and again apps.
App store offers it? I installed and tried. All good apps but not what I needed.
Enter DBL...now I get stuff done because I even have a time table for getting dressed! I'd the app says I have to be out of my apartment in 10 mibutes, I better do as it says or I'm gonna be late again.

Thanks to the developers.
And thanks to make it free for all.
Seriously, I can't thank you enough.
Thank you! 😘

I’m always on time now!

Great visual way to plan out your day. Very intuitive method for calculating times. Email feature is very useful as well. Definitely recommend!

Schedule your day to the minute

Day planner of the gods and keeps getting better. Gameification and incorporation of rewards would be a dream... Anything to keep the mundane interesting and prevent habituation to the interface. I don’t any productivity app that leverages (to the requisite degree)novelty/surprise as motivation. Maybe DBL could fill this niche?

Thanks for the review and feedback! I do think your thoughts are on track, and will pursue getting some of this in place.

Can’t live without this app!

This app ‘thinks’ the way I do when I’m trying to figure out what time I need to get started to make an appointment. Especially useful for making sure I make my flight without stress. Set the plan up
one time and all I have to do for the next trip Is change my departure time. What could be easier??

Good for those who like to be on time.
