I miss the old Folderly

Don’t bother downloading if you have more than three classes. I used to be able to have all seven of my classes scheduled and it really helped me with keeping track of time… disappointing

I LOVE THIS APP

Omg best app ever. Not a bot. I used to use notes and stuff but like now I use this and it’s perfect for me

Folderly+

About a year ago I paid around thirteen dollars for Folderly+ it was good at first. I was promised when paying that I would have access for all future additions because I paid for it all together (Folderly+ exclusives plus any other new releases). Now I go on the app and see that they’ve introduced the subscriptions, and see I don’t get the new features I PAID FOR!!! I hit the refresh purchases and NOTHING has happened. Very Disappointing by this app I had enjoyed it years prior but now it’s a money grab and scamming customers, to the readers of this just use Google Calendar save money for school. Shame on you Folderly team, I want my money back.

Please make a mac version!!!

Love it however i really wish they made a version for the Macbook. I do most of my school work on there and it would be so much easier than switching between devices.

Lowkey sucks

I noticed the app crashing being fixed in the latest update, but it was still crashing so I had to get on another device. On that, seeing the limit for course folders being three is disappointing. The preview shows you could make MORE than three but of course you have to pay. If you don't know how to make your own to-do lists or want to pay for a greedy developer, I recommend getting. I would've kept this if it worked on its potential. PLEASE do make it better.

Helpful! But There’s a paywall

This app is really cute and helps me stay organized for school! I love the cute ID cards, the confetti with the todo, and the widgets —it really helps me to stay organized. The major downside however is the paywall now. I have about 8-9 classes but without paying, you can only add 3 courses. It sucks because this app was really useful when there wasn’t a paywall, but there is now which I think is what brings it down.

Folderly Plus

This used to be my favorite app for tracking, until today. I noticed whenever I tried adding another course after only having 2 I somehow reached my limit? I understand if it was the fact I had 2 schedules for those 2 classes but I used to be able to have all my 7 classes with no problem. It’s kind of sad seeing this app fall money hungry.

its a good app, but a 3 course limit for non paying users isn't fair.

i love this app! but ever since it started getting more popular, it started updating more. fine! but why is there a limit to how many courses you can make? if ur using it for free, you can only have 3 courses. i have 4 courses per semester. why do we have to pay for that?

Paywall

This app is amazing used it for 1 year straight and it was wonderful for scheduling and managing tasks. But now it has a subscription that only allows 3 free course selections which is impossible for me to use because I have more than 3 courses. I would be fine if there was at least a once payment to get all the access but there’s only yearly and monthly. Which I find ridiculous, the least you can add is at least 5 courses for free. I’m sad because this was a really nice scheduling app before this happened..

More for general organisation?

Love this app and its interface, but I was wondering if you were considering some more features for more general organisation, eg like 'habits' or recurring tasks for people that have assignments at regular intervals.

start / end time

i love this app, its great, i would recommend to change one thing tho. when i add new event and add the start time, sometimes it doesn’t allow me to finish the process because the end time does not correlate. i would make the end time optional (bc activity does not always require it) or somehow automatically change it to correlate with the start time. aside from that, no notes!

actually best app oat

i’ve been looking for an app like this for forever it’s so good it’s got a calendar and to do list, my favourite thing about it is i can also organise all the links and pdfs i need for my classes with my to dos as well plus it’s a super cute looking app ily folderly

かわいいけど

アプリとして全体的にすごくかわいいです。日本語対応していないため設定が少し面倒ですが、タスク管理に使用しています。とても満足しているのですが、設定したタスクをウィジェットとしてホーム画面に追加できるようにしてほしいです。いちいち開くのは少し不便なので、少しでも改善されると嬉しいです!

Terrible Paywall

I used this app for almost 2 years and it was amazing at first. Now almost everything is behind a paywall. Earlier this year I could add more than 3 classes, now I can’t and that is the bare minimum. I will not be using this app anymore because it has lost its uniqueness and accessibility.

great but....

i used this app last year and i loved it soo much! i deleted it to free up storage tho but i redownloaded it for this upcoming school year. i love the features and the designs itself is so cute! one thing though.. i cant use it anymore!! i cant afford spending money on the app and i can only add three courses, when i have 8. i need more but i cannot afford folderly plus! i get how u are trying to earn money from it but some students cant afford to spend money on an app for school... like me.. i love this app soo much but please atleast update the course limit, because for me i cant use it anymore without spending my money :((

どういうこと

まずまずアプリに入れない。ごみ。

Lifetime subscription

Pls give lifetime subscription back

paywall🫩

i used to have this app way back for school and it was amazing! i actually felt more organized and better in school, but then i got a new phone. i downloaded the app, and i made a new account, but when i tried to add all my classes the max i can add is 3. mind you, i used to be able to add all of my 8 classes. ill probably have to find another app, but thats really sad because i mostly like this one for school.

Not very accessible

Significant features such as adding more than 3 classes are locked behind a monthly subscription. Why would I pay that much if I can buy a calendar for less?

Great, but Folderly+

I started using folderly as soon as it was available. The base app was great until they started adding Folderly+. No one, including myself, is angered at the devs trying to get money to put back into the app but they set the course limit to 3 classes just to push this. Most students have 4-5 classes per semester so this really feels like a slap to the face for people that just wanted to use the app.
