無料でも使わない。

広告出てて触ったが、なかなかひどい。年15,000円取るとのことだが、マーケティング担当者不在なんだろう。

Wonderfully simple with one important feature missing

I love this app because it has the simplicity of a notebook (which is always what I return to after trying an app for a while) with the memory of an app. I still use reminders outside the app for things that have a date and are not events, but I now consider them just that - reminders, not to-dos that automatically enter my daily list.
However, looking at the daily list on most days is still too much - as a working parent I have at least 10 “fires” per day plus 20-30 more things in my list. The projects feature would come in handy, but I did not find any way to sort by project.
If there was a way to sort the tasks in each priority list by project, and vice versa - sort each project by priority, the app would be perfect for me. That way I can have a project for every situation/place/context and just run through the relevant task without having to find them between other tasks I cannot do right now.

Thanks for the detailed feedback and the kind words! You're right, the use case you're describing isn't handled well at the moment. I'd be curious to learn more. Do you complete all 20-30 tasks each day, or do many of them move from one day to the next (things you need to do, but with no specific deadline)? You can reach me at dennis@emeryplanner.com.

Disappointed and Confused

They said it’s free forever and we can use it for free, but i can’t even use it without singing in and buying the subscription, not sure where i can use it for free, also not sure why this app requires subscription? Easily can be a one time purchase.

Response from developer

Hi, thanks for the honest review, and sorry for the confusion. We've never advertised Emery as free. For a while we did give new accounts a free plan, and we kept that promise: anyone who signed up then still has it. That may be what you saw. Accounts created since are on paid plans. On one-time purchase, I hear you. In the App Store, Emery is subscription based, and that subscription is what funds development for our small team. It comes with a 7-day free trial, and signing in is what keeps your planner in sync across your devices. If you'd like to talk through your options, or anything looks off with your account, email me at dennis@emeryplanner.com and I'll help. Dennis, founder of Emery

Hide the Ball

I know there is a subscription but there is no pricing information. Had to go through a tedious quiz before being able to see the website. Then, after installing the app and answering questions I still don’t have any pricing information by the time they want my email address and other information. I opted out of this app at that point.

Response from developer

Fair point, and thanks for spelling it out. The quiz is there to shape the plan around how you work, not to hide the price. Subscription prices are listed on our App Store page under In-App Purchases, and they appear in the app before any payment step. Den, founder of Emery

No

It took 5 minutes just to reach the sign in page, and then they want ¥15,000 a year. For a planner? Who do you think you are?

Response from developer

Fair questions, so here are straight answers. Five minutes to reach sign-in is not how it should be. I'm looking into where it drags, and I'm sorry it started that way. On the price: we're a small team, no ads, no selling your data, and the app has been in active development for years. The subscription is what pays for that. There's a free trial so you can decide whether it earns the price before spending anything. And who we are: the people who use Emery every morning and answer every review personally, including this one. – Den, founder

Feeling letdown

I’ve had it for a few days and I feel pretty disappointed, unfortunately.

It is a bit buggy as my tasks don’t save to my calendar when I move them over. I am also stunned by the inability to link my iCal account. Also, is there not a way to undo if I accidentally click that I completed a task? The whole thing just feels incomplete and not as intuitive as what we’ve come to expect from most task apps these days.

This app has potential but I’m really regretting that I paid $20 for this. Since I paid for it, I will continue to use for a little longer to give it more of a shot and if I have a change in opinion, I’ll be sure to update.

Hi, Den here, founder of Emery. Thank you for the detailed writeup. This is exactly the kind of feedback that helps. On the calendar: your tasks are saving, but by default they go to Emery's internal calendar. To sync a task to your external calendar, select that calendar while dragging the task over. Fair point that this is easy to miss. iCal isn't supported yet. It's high on our priority list and will be introduced soon. On undo: many actions have it, but for task completions we decided against it, since the task stays visible and can be unticked in one tap. If there's a use case we're missing, email me directly at den@emeryplanner.com and I'll take a look. Glad you're giving it more time. I hope the next updates earn that changed opinion.

Wayyyy Too Expensive

19.99$ a month?

Response from developer

Hi, Den here, founder of Emery. Fair reaction. $19.99 is the monthly plan, the most flexible option but also the most expensive way to use Emery. If it clicks for you, the annual plan brings the cost way down, and there's a lifetime option if you never want to think about a subscription again. Either way, thanks for taking a look.

Subscription 🤮🤮

No access to calendar

Add lifetime 🔴

Response from developer

Thank you for trying our product. At the moment we don’t offer a free plan. Subscriptions help us stay independent, keep improving 2X Planner, and support users directly - without ads or selling data. As for the lifetime option - we’ll think about it.

Thanks for a great app! Using the app for quite some time and literally can see how it’s improved and become better. The developers who created it really know what people need and how to improve their lives. Thanks!

Nice! I’ve tried loads of different apps but this one is the perfect one. Collections are amazing! I’m able to separate my working routine and personal tasks. Also love new feature- emojis, they are so cute.

Part of my morning routine. It's great starting my day with emery.to. I can see all my meetings in one place, plan my tasks, and capture ideas. Keep it up!

Clean UI. I've tried multiple productivity apps and finally found my match – clean UI, easy to use, and gives a clear overview of my day.

Cool!

Keeps me focused. A great app that keeps me focused. I love the 'focus of the day' section! (Please add integration with Apple Calendar.)

Крутое приложение

Super annoying

For some reason developers think users enjoy being spammed by empty „productivity reports”. There’s no way to turn them off without going through tedious „tour”. I regret giving this useless app a try.

Response from developer

Thank you for your feedback. We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the Productivity Reports. Based on your input, we've disabled these reports by default for new users and are simplifying the settings to make such features more user-friendly. We regret any frustration you experienced and appreciate your willingness to try our app. If there's anything else we can do for you, please let us know.

Keeps me focused

Amazing app! Helps me to stay focused on important stuff

Fantastic application for task management!

I didn’t use it a lot just yet, but the app looks fantastic! Thanks a lot!
