It’s super cute and great for organizing school/work/tasks. HOWEVER, they updated the entire thing so the paid feature isn’t a one time purchase anymore, there’s only the subscription available. They also restricted the amount of class folders that you can have down to 3, unless you pay for the subscription. The reason I downloaded this app was because it had a very accessible free version and I even considered paying for the one time payment, but now that it’s a subscription and locks even the most basic of features behind that subscription I will no longer be using it. I understand that the devs need to make money but succumbing to using subscriptions like all the other megacorporations is a low blow. ### 4/5 — I put 4 stars for it to be noticed *2026-08-24, version 4.0.12* This app is great and helps me a lot! But please add more courses in the free option because i have way more than 3 classes! And i cant afford the premium version. It’ll help me a lot! ### 3/5 — Pretty okay *2026-08-16, version 4.0.12* The version of the app that you get for free is very cute and thought out. The color choices are nice, the course option is great, the calendar is a nice feature and so is the class schedule. You can add your own images to your id and other things as well which is very nice. There are a few issues I have that others might encounter. For starters you are only allowed to enter in three courses for free, otherwise you’ll need the plus version. This is pretty inconvenient since you’d never think that a core feature would be locked behind a paywall. Not only that, but the advertisement that shows for Folderly+ when you run out of courses promises you “unlimited courses” but when searching further it only says it’ll offer an additional 3+ courses. This difference does not make me want to buy the subscription, because what will I truly be getting? I understand money needs to be made, so I hope that when more plus features roll out, they’ll at least consider making more courses available. Another issue is the scrolling for start and end times. It’s quite buggy and you need to hit a very specific spot in order to get your proper time. It’s not life changing but certainly is annoying. Lastly, there is no way to look at your class schedule in full during the weekends (that I am aware of, if there is it is very unclear as to how anyone would be able to access it). Again, not life changing, but I don’t want to wait two whole days just to see my class schedule and customize it. It is a cute app overall, but you’re only getting 7 benefits overall with the free version (unlimited to-do list, 3 courses, the calendar, the schedule, and custom images). ### 3/5 — I miss the old Folderly *2026-08-13, version 4.0.12* 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 ### 4/5 — Please make a mac version!!! *2026-08-07, version 4.0.12* 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. ### 2/5 — Lowkey sucks *2026-08-04, version 4.0.12* 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. ### 3/5 — Helpful! But There’s a paywall *2026-08-03, version 4.0.12* 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. ### 4/5 — Folderly Plus *2026-08-02, version 4.0.12* 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. ### 3/5 — its a good app, but a 3 course limit for non paying users isn't fair. *2026-07-24, version 4.0.12* 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? ### 4/5 — start / end time *2026-07-22, version 4.0.12* 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! ### 4/5 — かわいいけど *2026-07-13* 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！ ### 4/5 — great but.... *2026-07-10, version 4.0.12* 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 :(( ### 4/5 — Lifetime subscription *2026-06-26, version 4.0.12* Pls give lifetime subscription back ### 3/5 — Not very accessible *2026-06-06, version 4.0.12* 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? ### 2/5 — Great, but Folderly+ *2026-06-04, version 4.0.12* 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. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Boo :( *2026-09-07, version 4.0.12* Downloaded this app because I heard some good things about it. Immediately deleted my account after seeing there is a three course limit without the premium monthly subscription. Like as if the cost of living isn’t especially hard on students :/ extra shameful considering it seems this app used to have a higher course limit that reflects what the average student needs. Will not be recommending this to anyone 👎 ### 1/5 — Unusable for college students… *2026-08-27, version 4.0.12* I have been using Folderly and loving it for around 3 years now, but I went to put in my classes for the new semester and it only allowed me to create 3 before locking me behind a paywall. Who only takes 3 classes? Very weird, used to be able to use it just fine. When creating premium features, please keep in mind what your customers will actually be using it for. Who only takes 3 classes??? ### 1/5 — Seriously? A limit of 3? *2026-08-24, version 4.0.12* It used to be more, 3 isn’t even enough for the classes I have. Genuinely what is this update?? If you have all these paywalls, it doesn’t give anyone a good reason to use your app!!! I’m so upset... ### 1/5 — Folderly+ *2026-08-09, version 4.0.12* 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. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-07-24, version 4.0.12* 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.. ### 1/5 — Terrible Paywall *2026-07-11, version 4.0.12* 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. ### 1/5 — どういうこと *2026-06-29* まずまずアプリに入れない。ごみ。 ### 1/5 — paywall🫩 *2026-06-23, version 4.0.12* 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. ### 1/5 — 使えない😭 *2026-05-29* Submit applicationを押したらアプリが落ちるの何とかしてください😭😭 ### 1/5 — I can't even try to get an account *2026-05-24, version 4.0.12* Anytime I try to make an account it always kicks me out of the app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Joining Issue *2026-09-02, version 4.0.12* So I’ve actually used this app before but had to delete it since my storage was getting full. The app is amazing and organizing makes it so much more aesthetic and fun. However, when I try to send in an application or join again, the app immediately crashes. I’ve tried many times and deleted/reinstalled the app to try again but the issue keeps happening. ### 5/5 — I LOVE THIS APP *2026-08-09, version 4.0.12* 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 ### 5/5 — More for general organisation? *2026-07-23, version 4.0.12* 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. ### 5/5 — actually best app oat *2026-07-13, version 4.0.12* 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 ### 5/5 — SIGN UP ISSUE *2026-05-31* Every time i try to sign up it goes out of the app and back to my homescreen. Ive tried several times to become a member but its not letting me. Someone please help somebody please i want to use it because i heard its a great app ### 5/5 — I put 5 stars for it to be noticed *2026-05-03, version 4.0.12* This app is great and helps me a lot! But please add more courses in the free option because i have way more than 3 classes! And i cant afford the premium version. It’ll help me a lot! ### 5/5 — 너무 예쁘고 잘 쓰고있는데요 *2026-04-16* 제발 투두 리스트 순서를 임의로 조정할수있게해주세요..우선순위에 맞춰서 정렬하고싶은데 시간대로밖에 설정이 안돼서 너무 아쉽습니다… ### 5/5 — super cute *2026-04-04, version 4.0.12* easy to navigate ui, very helpful ### 5/5 — So helpful *2026-03-26, version 4.0.12* I get bored with calendars a lot so I tend to change from app to app or to a physical one. This genuinely makes me want to look at my calendar every time and lock in. It’s so easy to use, and very aesthetically pleasing!! ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-02-11, version 4.0.11* So aesthetic, so intuitive (I personally love the flash cards inclusion for quick reviews and countdown features if you put an event in the calendar section.) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
