Faulty

Haven’t been able to get it to work since installed , shame since it has the potential to

Terrible app

I love my Filofax and the idea of a qr code is amazing but this app just doesn’t work at all.

No use

Would be great if it linked to the filofax properly but you have to enter manually

Absolutely useless!

The Filofax app simply does not work on an iPhone! Absolutely ridiculous in this modern age with supposedly the best diary in the world! Unbelievable…

Disappointed

The QR codes are not easy to scan and everything has to be entered manually, creating extra work!
You’d think in an age of AI you could scan a page and AI would automatically put the appointments in.

Not good

How the dependable pen&paper Filofax brand came to accept this app, I can't imagine!
App doesn't work at as Filofax advertise. I'm sticking to Filo and pen.

Needs a lot of work

This app would be awesome if it worked properly.
Fliofax if you invest more into the user interface it would be appealing to customers.

Fail-ofax

Didn’t work and it crashes.

Doesn’t work

Tap reminders to use and it cancels the app. Just returns to my apps page.

Works grate!

I use this everyday and I think that the picture feature is very useful. Idk why this app doesn’t have good reviews, I think this app is very useful.

Mick

The worst app I have ever used doesn’t even update. Don’t bother with it.

Does not work

Same issues as others. Downloaded today and found a) did not recognise QR codes and b) suggested updates when none available. Pointless bit of kit.

Unreliable

I’ve given up with this app, shame as it is basically a good idea.

Every day says update?

Not sure why it asks me to update every single day? Wish it would work.

Great idea but doesn’t work.

There is no meaningful connection between the handwritten diary entries and the electronic phone diary. Very frustrating as it would be a great step forward if it actually worked. Maybe future developments will prove actually useful .

Embarrassingly Bad

There are so many awful things about this app. Phone crashes every time I attempt to scan the QR code. I was able to make it work on my iPad but the camera on the iPad is too unwieldy to make this a sustainable way to use the app. Worse, you actually have to type the title of the reminder or it shows up as “filofax” on your Apple calendar.

One must ask, exactly what is the point?

Good idea terrible execution

If it worked it would be good. QR codes don’t like being scanned, you have to put in the details yourself, the system takes you to random pages for no apparent reason, it will not save you one minute of time it only adds to it. There’s no real relationship between the paper diary and the app diary using apple calendar in the normal way is probably better. There’s a germ of a good idea but it’s underdeveloped. I assume filofax were so keen to roll it out this year and not miss the printing deadline that they put something out that was not ready. I will try next year with fingers crossed.

No instructions?

I had high hopes for this app. I love my Filofax and prefer to write with pen and paper but this is so cumbersome it’s hardly worth it. Why oh why can’t Filofax make digital pages? This app won’t let you link a notebook. You have to scan and photograph EACH day/page one by one. Far from convenient or time saving.
Filofax! You have many different styles colors, and types of pages. PLEASE add
digitized Pages!

Doesn’t work

Gets date wrong. Doesn’t work.

Rubbish!

QR codes are hard to scan and pointless
