Amazing layout but app freezes
I love the look of the app and I think it would be perfect for my lifestyle but also I can’t even set it up because it is frozen the second I press one button in the app. It’s unusable, but I really want to try it!!!! I’ve tried everything but it still freezes. Please fix!!!!
7 Tage kostenlos? Denkste.
Die App schaut gut aus, hätte sie gerne getestet. Aber wenn man auf „7 Tage kostenlos, danach jährliche Bezahlung“ geht, wurde sofort die Kreditkarte belastet. So verärgert man den User, bevor er überhaupt angefangen hat die App zu testen. So nicht! Schade!

Hi Alex, sorry about that. Apple only skips the free week when an Apple ID has already used a trial for Finalist (maybe sometimes in the past?), and the screen should have said so. I'm fixing that. If you didn't mean to subscribe, you can request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com
Great alternative to calendar
Loved this and it was invaluable on my recent family trip to Japan this summer. Made a daily schedule using Gemini Ai which included web links to google maps places we were visiting, these were selectable in this app and directly opened in google maps (didn’t do that in iOS calendar!) - meant I used this app daily for my entire holiday due to its ease of working together with google map links (which is also excellent for Japan incl train lines etc).

That's a very cool way to set itinerary, thanks!
Fantastic
This covers a lot of stuff that I thank most to do apps don’t and does so privately without collecting data. I really like the layout, and think it gives me a comprehensive place to manage my life in a layout that make sense. It’s cross platform, and it’s widget on iPhone also gives me a comprehensive view of my day, and on the planner tab on Mac, my week! Love it.

Could be better
Writing in the journal feels very janky.
Picking keyboard suggestions directly appends the words without adding whitespace between them.
I use thumbnails as a visual cue to the journal topic and need to repeat the same thumbnail over several days. But the app requires uploading it again for every entry.
The landing page feels overwhelming. Not a clear negative, it could be something that people want. But it’s just not intuitive where to start.

Thanks, will be fixing these in the next update!
Very nice - a few gotcha’s
I really like how you can consolidate lots of information onto your daily schedule. A few issues i have found. 1. Imported sleep data does not match what Apple Health App has. 2. Imported workout information is converted to kilometers when it was recorded in miles. No way to change as far as I can see. 3. Would love a numerical banner shouting the date i.e. 22 (bubble) on the icon.

Thanks, first two are almost fixed, and last one is in my list of things to do :)
My favorite app ever (as a chronic app-trier)!
this app is genuinely insane, the amount of customization and functionality it has while being simultaneously seamlessly integrated and more beautiful than any productivity app out there is crazy! It’s like my whole life I’ve been looking through so many apps asking “is it really so hard to make what I’m asking for?” bc no app had everything, and then this one shows up going above and beyond all of my expectations, and I just can’t believe the amount of thought and soul that went into this! There is a bit of a learning curve but it’s so worth it trust me, it offers way more than what first meets the eye. My favorite function right now is the timeline view, the fact that your events are there and your other tasks are one the side and you can drag them to where you see you have some time. I also love the fact that unfinished tasks go over to the next day without constant red “overdue!” warnings, and that uncompleted habits don’t! And don’t even get me started on the habit tracking heaven that this is… Whoever made this is my soulmate and I’m so thankful, keep up the amazing work bc it’s truly life changing (unironically)

Wow that is one epic review, many many thanks!! :D Slaven
Very Good
This is changing many of my workflows for the better. Really appreciate, and, respect the various ways to support the developer, besides tired, old, unsustainable subscriptions. On macOS I am noticing something very irritating - In Notes, when I create a Notebook and make an entry, the right side of the screen is split into two halves, top and bottom. The bottom is only used for two buttons, Add Note, and, Add Task. Every time I want to add to an existing note I have to scroll and/or slide the bottom field down to get it out of the way. Can you please just create two buttons at the bottom of the note field instead of taking up half of the screen by default. I march through a lot of material, with copious daily notes, and this really slows me down. By the way thanks for this morning’s macOS update … Beautiful! This app really is changing my daily work flows for the better, maybe even dramatically. Cheers.

Great Planner
The developer has been adding a lot of new features and functionality. I think it needs a guide now to show how to setup and show users how to setup everything properly to make the most of it. Still, the core functionality is great and better than other apps I’ve used.

Thank you! :)
Просто супер!
Это что то невероятное! Так удобно просматривать планы на день - особенно на часах . Сразу видно сколько осталось времени до ближайшего события и какие события и задачи есть в целом на этот день и на следующие. Есть на планшете , маке и на часах - как уже писал выше! Оуее! Разработчику огромный респект- а я забираю это сокровище себе.

WOW!
Really love the concepts, so many different ways to construct a daily/weekly life, BUT, gotta have up-front, obvious repeat setups for tasks. As far as I can tell the only way to setup repeats of anything is to create “Habits” and that’s not going to work in my daily/weekly schedule paradigm(s). That is an absolute must for me. Also, I would like to have the ability to create task categories and then have specific task sub categories, in which my actual tasks would be created. Finalist very much handles tasks like “Things 3”. So, I get that I can essentially create the task management workflows I need by using Lists/Tasks/SubTasks. So that’s not a deal breaker for me, but I prefer the paradigm I just outlined. But, the lack of easy and obvious repeating setups is a deal breaker. Going to cancel my trial subscription for now, but wow, get something going with repeating tasks and you might have me right where you want me. Love the incorporation of journaling and most everything else. And, it’s beautifully laid out. And, I can choose a one time purchase - a thousand blessings in your general direction for seeing to that option. Beautiful work!

Feature request
Could you add refresh button or gesture for immediately sync with apps between iPhone iPad and Mac
Great App
Tried TickTick app and found this easier to user and much more user friendly.
Great planner
I’ve used Todoist all my life, but this one is clearly better. The only thing is, I’d like the option to sign in via a Google account, since I have multiple devices and multiple Apple accounts. Because of this, I can't sync my lists right now.
Not for me
I really want to like Finalist! I have a hard time putting my finger on exactly what my issues are, but two stand out: firstly, the app often feels laggy in basic UI interactions, and secondly, it does a *lot* but doesn’t feel cohesive to me.
Need help with Repeat feature in Reminders and with Help Support
I’m really enjoying this app. However, I’m having trouble working the Repeat feature (I activated it several times and reminders don’t appear in the next days as I was expecting them to).
Also, I tried looking for help to fix this, but the app says Help Support is not available.
Other than that, I really want to keep using this app if I can get help with this. Thanks!

Excellent
Absolutely loving this planner. The layout is gorgeous and flexible, and the widgets are great. Very happy to have bought the lifetime.
Cluttered with unnecessary options
Most of the times i feel that the app is quite cluttered, slow, high latency. Some of the options and features could be combined because most of it is for the same purpose.
Not free trial
1 star it said free trial for 7 days then 29.99 for the yet well instantly it charged my card over $10 cancel and company I want my money back and for false advertising I demand you pay my overdraft fee as well
Gutes Konzept, Design nicht funktional
Das Konzept gefällt, bei der Umsetzung hapert es aber etwas:
- Einige Dinge sind selbst auf neuer Hardware etwas langsam / fühlen sich nicht flüssig an.
- Ideen / Ansätze nicht zu Ende gedacht (zB. Meeting Notes → werden nicht mit dem Meeting verknüpft, man muss sie händisch raussuchen mit Namen des Meetings und Datum, Listen sind nicht intuitiv bedienbar, ...)
- Design ist subjektiv. Mir gefällt es nicht. Gerade auf dem Mac möchte ich bitte ein natives macOS Design. Man weiß nie, wo man reinschreiben kann, wo nicht; was man bearbeiten / „anfassen“ kann, was nicht .. Es sieht hübsch aus (für manche Menschen), ist aber nicht funktional.
Ich möchte die App mögen. Gerade mit den neuen Markdown Notizen scheint sie genau meine Bedürfnisse abzudecken. Aber die Bedienung ist durch die sehr verbesserungswürdige (auch wenn teilweise hübsche) UI einfach nicht gut und zu zäh.
