Nice Idea but the App Doesn't Work

I just downloaded the app, and within minutes, it became evident that I could not use it. The app opens, and you can scroll to different areas of the page. However, it all goes wrong once you do anything that requires a separate window to open. The window never closes, and the only way to get out of it is to Force Quit. I tried it five times with the same result.

What a DISAPPOINTMENT!! I’m glad I only lost $1.99

I'm glad I only spent $1.99. What a disappointment!!

No updates?

The app needs work to be optimally usable and I see no updates for 2 years. We are expecting some usability improvements as described by some reviewers since This is a paid app.

Very nice and simple app but

But… the calendar sync didn’t work

A light without the bulb

Great start but it’s missing is key features.
Tons a room for needed growth.

It’s a middle schooler trying to play in the big leagues.

I like the general set up, the look, and general idea of how it works. Great start.

You wont be able to find past schedule items so if you forget game over no moving it.

Wanna move a schedule to a different time or day?

Forget about it, not gonna happen.

Wanna move a to do list to a scheduled time tomorrow? Nope impossible. Search past schedules or to do lists? No no no, I was it right why is it so they don’t want you to do that. Too helpful.

Schedule something at 10:30 instead or 10:00? Nope impossible. You dont get to do thing unless it’s on the hour.

It doesn’t link to your calendar although I guess half points because your calendar links to this app.

Functional but easily better

UX needs for 5 stars

1. Allow custom presets. If I need a recommendation suggestion it would be something I preset.

2. Allow Notes. Both in to-do and hour blocks.

3. On the given day, allow earlier hours to be seen. Right now you can't see anything previous to the current hour.

4. Drag and reorder blocks. Make it faster to reorder block order.

There might be a few more additions to make this the perfect app out there, but honestly just these 4 things would make everything better. Ideas like a tagging system and weekly/monthly overview would be cool but isn't a must have for me. I personally use the app to remind me what I worked on so that I can do my weekly client timesheets faster.
