Refreshing, whimsical, inspirational

Inku is a refreshing, minimalist, and streamlined way to view a summary of my day. The AI gives it a bit of personality, and a nudge of encouragement when I need it. The avatar gives it cute, friendly character and makes my days more whimsical.

So glad you are enjoying Inku! We will continue to improve any and all aspects of the app.

World-class app support, great product.

I was a kickstarter backer for the e-ink calendar Inku device this app supports, and was very happy to see that it came exactly as described. The app is just as cute. When I encountered a hiccup with the device setup through the app, the Inku team on Discord immediately jumped on the issue and was able to help me resolve it the same day. I don’t think I’ve ever had a better experience with any app ever honestly. The makers are definitely passionate about this app/device and it looks so cute on my desk and in my iPhone widgets! Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for this review! We want to make sure that our users have the most delightful experience with Inku!

No use to me

I did not know what exactly the app did because there was no free trial. So I purchased it and realized it just reiterated whatever was in my calendar. I really don’t need a second calendar. I already have a calendar for free. I quickly asked for a refund but they declined. So I’m basically down a years subscription with an app I will never ever use.

I’m wondering why it has high reviews, please tell me what it’s good for and what I’m missing here.

Hi there! We are sorry that Inku did not provide the experience you were hoping for. I just wanted to be clear that we have not denied any refunds. In fact we do not get set any say in refunds. Apple processes them without contacting us or asking us for anything based on the user's usage of the app, their past behavior on the app store, and what they think is fair. If you would like to discuss options, please reach out to support@inkboard.ink. The team is very busy at the moment with fulfilling our hardware orders but I am sure that we will be able to assist you in some way, shape, or form once we get to it. The Inku Team

I really REALLY wanted to love this app

I have RAGING ADHD and I’ve been on the market to find the best apps to help me manage my life. I really wanted to like this app because the premise of it is so wonderfully designed! However, it’s just not usable because it’s so laggy. The most important feature, which I think is the calendar sync is always wrong and doesn’t work properly.

Hey there! Have you reached out to support@inkboard.ink ? We’ve been putting in a bunch of fixes around this issue and we’d love to figure out what happened here.

Love my Inku

It’s very helpful
And reliable especially with multiple calendars to manage.

Fun and Motivating

The little blurbs the Inku creates make me more motivated to complete my daily tasks. Love that we can create our own avatar as well.

Fun & functional

Helps me reduce the mental load of my family calendars, while being so fun and delightful. Love this app and highly recommend if your calendar gives you the dreads.

Fun & practical!!

I’ve been trying out various planners and calendars when I discovered this one! It’s great! I love the little avatar companion and love the customization options. Already using this app daily and still looking forward to new updates

Surprisingly good!

I started off expecting just a cute calendar but ended up feeling like I had a helpful secretary, keeping me accountable throughout the day. Look forward to all the new features coming!

Great for my ADHD mind

After trying many apps for months, this is the one I decided on. I just plugged everything in to my Apple Calendar and reminders and it syncs perfectly. However there is a connection error showing for apple reminders. I love that it is customizable with the avatars and personalities. Excited to see what more the developers have to offer us! Would love more ai features.

Thank you so much for your review! We're going to be putting out a big update very soon w/ even more AI and Non-AI features. Glad to have you with us :)

Very helpful

Allows me to combine all my calendars to one spot and then it displays on my phone, my Mac, MacBook, AND iPad. I always know what my day holds regardless of what device I’m on. Very handy. If you download I recommend joining the discord as you can get help from the creators. The app wasn’t working as expected and the creator was able to make the fix and communicate it. I very much recommend this app. I want to buy the desktop version when I can.

Does NOT perform as advertised

This app did not seem to perform as advertised. However while apple refused my refund the customer service was spot on and the company find a way to refund me anyway!

Hi there! This is incorrect - we have processed many refund requests. If apple refuses your refund that is out of our hands and we have sent individual transactions to users in case that happens. Apple generally refuses refunds if they think your activity has been suspicious and not in good faith - we have gone out of our way to refund in spite of that. We have many users who have reached out to us and have their transactions reverted. Please reach out to support @ inkboard.ink to have your refund processed. The Inku Team

Does NOT perform as advertised

Not only only does this app NOT perform as advertised but they refuse to refund you through apple after making it seen they would if you follow three steps to request through apple.. don't waste your money.

Only for planners who use multiple apps to schedule

Can you not just add events and/or tasks?! I use a paper calendar and do not use Apple or Google that I could integrate. I use Outlook for some work events but most are behind a HIPAA compliant database. When I tried to integrate Outlook anyway, it wanted permission from my employer and they do not allow that type of stuff. I wanted to be able to manually add my events and tasks and then get the same automations, interactions, etc. in Inku. Guess I’ll take advantage of the money back guarantee. I’m disappointed because this is so cute and I really wanted it to work for me.

Hey Brittany! Thank you for leaving your feedback. We have just added the ability to be able to add tasks and events centrally from Inku! I know this is a bit late, but just wanted to let you know. If you do not use any external calendars, we are adding the ability to integrate it with your local calendars in the next version update. This way, you do not need to create an account with any of the extra integrations and you will be able to use it with your phone itself. We hope you do try and give Inku another shot :)

Paid app masquerading as a free app

This app wastes your time with a lengthy initial “calibration,” supposedly tuning itself to your lifestyle and needs. At the end of this, it hits you with a surprise “this is a paid app” message. Don’t waste my time. Tell me up front that there’s a required fee. They make you feel as though all of this personalization has been done, and attempt to swindle you into feeling like “well, I’ve already gone through all these steps and spent all this time. I have to at least give it a try now.”

You have a “money back guarantee,” but I’d much prefer a free trial.

Hey Tackynowacki! We apologise for the misleading onboarding, and we’ve received a couple of reviews, mentioning this. We will be making a change in the next version of the app 1.9.3 that makes it much clearer in the beginning of the on boarding so that people do not run into this. We would love for you to genuinely try Inku - please send us a message at support @ Inkboard.ink The Inku Team

Looks Cool But…

I put it on my phone and iPad. Got it free for 6 months. Was sketch isle and oh course during set up couldn’t scroll to the bottom in the Choose Your Location page to go to the final set up step. Can’t scroll down like it’s made for a small phone in settings or something. Added to iPad and same issues. Deleting it tomorrow if issues persist. Help me before the six months free is up and maybe I’ll use. Otherwise Google Calendar or Cozi Calendar.

Hey there! We're really sorry you're running into this issue - please reach out to us at support@inkboard.ink . We have not heard reports of this issue before so we'd love to get this figured out ASAP The Inku Team

Just okay

This is a way to aggregate your calendars and tasks, but that’s it. It does well displaying your calendar events, but not your tasks. I had hoped it would be more proactive in suggesting tasks to get done and when, based on my availability each day. It doesn’t. It just pulls everything into one place, which the calendar that comes with my phone already does. It’s cute though, you can have Columbo tell you what’s up next on your calendar.

Not free?

I was under the assumption it would be at least free of use before paying but sadly does not seem like it 😞

A tool I didn’t know I needed.

I backed Inku because I thought the idea was cute but wasn’t really sure how much use I would actually get out of it. Turns out it ended up becoming one of my most important toolsets in my kit.

As someone who manages three calendars (home life, work life, and side gigs), this app became instrumental with keeping me organized for the day. No longer did I have to keep all three calendars open, but I had a single location to watch everything that was happening for the day. The little AI summary and personality of the avatar is incredibly cute, too.

My only points of contention are having to open the app itself sometimes to get it to refresh my widget, and not being able to upload my avatar properly (it takes transparent space and makes it white, turning it ugly) but these are minor gripes, all things considered.

I can’t wait to be able to utilize the full experience with both the hardware, and software, across all of my devices.
