### 4/5 — Need better notification function

*2024-02-28*

Need better notification function to set alarm for every task.

### 2/5 — Carino… ma non si sincronizza con il Mac.

*2022-10-10, version 1.13*

Ho acquistato pensando che l applicazione si sincronizzasse automaticamente sul cloud invece il mio IPhone e il mio Mac non si parlano quindi oltre ad aver acquistato il prodotto 2 volte devo anche scrivere appunti due volte. Assurdo.

### 4/5 — I have a question…

*2022-05-05*

I love the app and have it on my iPhone and iPad Pro. I’ve followed all of the directions and can’t get them to sync… what am I missing? I would upgrade to PaperCal if I knew this would work as well as my Apple Pencil … thanks

### 1/5 — Не работает

### 4/5 — Almost the exact app I want- thoughts and notes

*2020-12-10*

Dear developer,

I love this app, it is almost everything I want. I have some issues and a few suggestions that I think would make it better:

I like to use the app not only as a daily/weekly to do list, but I also would like a place to put monthly to dos. (Essentially a very, very simple goal tracker, no percentage, no charts). As a workaround, I like to put my monthly to do’s on the first day of each month. Which works for me. (The only issue is if I add to do’s to a date that has passed, they post with an exclamation point at the end).

I would like the freedom to rearrange (drag and drop, ideally) the entered items within any day so that I can organize my list however I choose (it sorts alphabetically).  My workaround for this is using numbers at the front of each entry, or symbols like *, -, :.
Personally, I wouldn’t want a tiny up or down arrow sorter on each line, seems hard to use. Maybe within the edit field on an item there can be the option, ‘move this item up or down ___ spaces’ and you can enter the number of lines you’d like the entry to drop down.  I don’t know.

Also, I cannot get the repeat function to work. If I try to use it, a circle with an arrow comes at the end of the entry, but the entry does not auto populate to the next week, (or whichever repeating interval).

Lastly, I would add more colors to the highlight options.

Thank you for making this app!

### 2/5 — Repeat does NOT work

*2020-11-06, version 1.12*

The repeat feature does not work on this app. It only worked once for me for a monthly reminder, but weekly and any other type of recurring event doesn’t work!!! 

PLEASE FIX THIS. 
I LOVE THIS APP BUT I NEED THE REPEAT EVENTS TO WORK 🙏🏼 

Otherwise I love the simplicity and design of this app, it’s like none other I could find. Feels like a paper weekly planner.

### 1/5 — не могу оставлять заметки никакие вообще!

*2020-09-30*

пытаюсь добавить заметки, но их не видно

### 4/5 — Не заносятся события

*2020-09-17*

События не заносятся , написал разработчику, молчит

### 2/5 — Moves dates

*2020-09-03, version 1.12*

I am not sure why I add a task to a day and it moves it to the day before :(

### 1/5 — Really bad

*2020-08-20, version 1.12*

I downloaded it but it has nothing interesting very few commands it has a few funds to choose from and nothing else

### 2/5 — SINCRONIZAR CON OTROS CALENDARIOS

*2020-08-09, version 1.11*

Por lo que veo no se puede sincronizar con otros calendarios. Es una pena.

### 1/5 — Everything disappeared

*2025-07-19, version 1.14*

All my entires on all devices suddenly disappeared. Can’t find a solution on Google and there doesn’t appear to be any customer support.

### 1/5 — No recomendada.

*2024-02-04, version 1.14*

Es horrible, no puedes escribir desde la vista semana.
Además, para escribir tienes que hacerlo añadiendo una tarea, no permite escribir directamente sobre la linea y ya, esto hace que sea imposible tomar nota de algo rápidamente. Solo veo una cosa buena que no he visto en otras apps, y es que puedes mover las cosas de día.
No creo que la use ni una vez.

No creo que vuelva a comprar una App que no tenga un vídeo de como se usa o que no se pueda probar.

### 1/5 — 자꾸 종료되네요

*2023-01-13*

아이폰 12프로에서 다운 받아서 사용하려고 하니 자꾸 종료됩니다

### 1/5 — Calendar mixed up!

*2022-10-27, version 1.13*

Loved the calendar, but since this week the weeks are mixed up. Pls fix the bug since I can’t even find some appointments back…

### 1/5 — ПЕРЕСТАЛО РАБОТАТЬ

*2022-06-22*

Очень удобное приложение для меня и альтернативы достойной нет
НО вчера перезагрузила телефон, абсолютно все записи слетели 😱 и не добавляются новые
Это просто расстройство!!!!!

### 1/5 — Faulty

*2022-04-01*

Nice app initially however you can’t rely on it since every now and then will decide to suddenly move mowers every single thing that you have recorded and if you aren’t keeping a track of things somewhere else or in mind, you’ll get everything messed up…

### 1/5 — Doesn't sync with *anything*

*2021-12-22*

This would be a nice app if it brought in your to-do lists from, say—I don't know—maybe the iOS-native Reminders app. Other calendaring/scheduling/task apps manage to do this…why should I re-enter everything I already have in Reminders? It has a lovely interface, but, sadly, its beauty is only skin-deep.

### 1/5 — How ı can use this app

*2021-11-16, version 1.13*

I usin the + button or ı directly press the days however ı can’t add anything. This should not be that hard

### 1/5 — Can’t write into. Do I need good notes

*2021-10-18, version 1.13*

I asked for help still waiting….

### 1/5 — Too demanding

*2021-07-21*

Appointments disappear, no obvious way of entering the time. I thought paying would get me an easy app. I was wrong.

*2024-01-13*

### 5/5 — Kullanışlı ve Basit

*2023-07-10, version 1.14*

İki yıldır kullanıyorum. Mac, ipad ve iphone’larla, ayrıca cloud üzerinden Anımsatıcılar yazılımı ile eşgüdümlü çalışıyor. Bir ajanda sayfası gibi kullanıp, hafta odaklı planlarınızı yapıyor, günler arasında sayfa çevirir gibi dolaşıyorsunuz. Haftalık randevulu işler yapan avukat, doktor gibi kullanıcılar için kolay kullanılır ve tüm cihazlardan erişilebilen bir uygulama.

### 5/5 — Fantastica paghi una volta ed è per sempre

*2023-06-24, version 1.14*

Fantastica

### 5/5 — 简介方便，能直观看到一周的安排

*2020-11-28*

用了一年多了，很方便，大部分功能都有优化了，希望可以添加一项长按查看日程备注的功能，日程备注需要点开才能看到，一般情况不会使用到

### 5/5 — It works for me.

*2020-11-02*

I like that I can put a recurring item on the list. I use this to help organize me throughout the week, and some chores that I do only once a month, or once a week are easily put on.

### 5/5 — Не работает

*2020-08-09, version 1.11*

Невозможно сделать запись

### 5/5 — Great but needs improvement

*2020-08-02*

I sent an email months ago requesting start and end times for the tasks. There was an update after that with no start and end times. Please incorporate! The app currently has an all day task only.

### 5/5 — cannot add new

*2020-07-15, version 1.11*

doesn’t working. cannot add new item. nothing shows.
