Almost Perfection
I love how much this app feels like it was ripped straight out of the book. The only thing it’s missing is a space to select your energize tactic. Not sure if there are any more developments being made for this app, but me and my entire IT department are now utilizing the Make Time method and would love to have that energize space added!
Lastly, all the app’s features being completely free is just brilliant considering someone wouldn’t have any real use for this without having learned the tactic from the book that has to be bought itself.

Lack of widget misses a trick
A significant concept of the Make Time system is about having a sticky note that you can have with you at all times during the day.
In creating a digital tool to replicate this concept, I find it baffling that the app doesn’t support home screen widgets that would allow you to virtually have that sticky note updated on your home screen each day.
Please “Make Time“ to add this feature, please, Jake and John.
Thanks!

Love this app
So simple and helpful, while being privacy focused.
Unable to create highlight
Not able to create highlight, while dragging the calendar and highlight disappears!
Suggestion
It would be great if there was a widget which just showed todays highlight so I could “pin” it to my homescreen.
Nice bare-bones app
I like the app overall and it integrates well with the Make Time philosophy. I wish that the time timer would record how much time I’ve spent on my daily highlight.
More Highlights for the day!
Would love to have the option of adding more highlights for the day.
Highlight set night before deleted by am
I set my highlight for the next day the night before (okay if I’m honest I’m copying today’s over to tomorrow because I haven’t done it).
It stays in the calendar but is deleted from the app by morning?
Would also like a way to access ALL of the book thru app if there is a way to prove you bought the book (which I have).

perfect productivity app
I love this app. Like the book, it helps you prioritize what’s most important in your life, which isn’t necessarily work (like most productivity books emphasize).
It’s had it’s fair share of bugs, but it’s totally worth sticking with, and the bugs I’ve noticed have been fixed quickly.
But can there be a widget please? A widget to show the highlight? And maybe one to show the laser timer?

Keep it simple stupid!
Make time excels in being a simple approach to a simple problem.
Decent UI, but...
I might be missing something, but after creating and scheduling my highlight (and giving the app permission to access my calendar), it's still not showing up on the calendar at all. If this is a bug, it's a pretty big one. I will definitely update this review if this gets fixed/addressed.
Update 2/21: Checked back to see if the app had been updated at all since launch, but it doesn't look like it. Still pretty useless.

Timer on iPhone SE 2016 & iPhone 8+ not working
Can’t start the timer as the button is hidden. Can’t scroll down to see it either. Beautiful app besides that. 👍🤠 iPhone 8 won’t let me add a highlight for the day. Very confusing glitch.
Something wrong on reflect
Can you guys check reflect workflow? I’ve tried a couple of times and I’m reflecting highlights for the future and my previous reflections get lost. Am I in the future?
Needs Improvements
Great concept, Good UI, Bad UX
Renaming the highlight resets the time and makes us choose it again.
If you work till late and finish your work after midnight, the app goes crazy. Doesn’t understand what is today what is tomorrow.
Highlight gets lost.
During review app shows a highlight, but later changes its name to the one that was added for the next day. And there is no way to rename the reviewed highlight.
If you change duration of timer, it starts the timer.

It's good, but could be better
This app is creative and wonderfully designed, don't get me wrong! Needless to say, it can improve.
1) The highlights are not accurate with the day. For example, a highlight for Dec 16 may pop up as "today" when it is only Dec 15.
2) I cannot clear a reflection. I can change it, but what if I want to delete it?
Again, Jake and JZ, great app!

Ipad screen support?
simple & good design app, which is my long waited app. btw, i know this app is designed for iphone users and its screen tho. it would be great if it supports full ipad horizontal screen maybe in the future.
Top-notch productivity tool
Make Time app helps you to focus on what really matters
Simple, Free, No ads
This is a straightforward app with a single purpose - getting you to focus on one specific project or task (highlight) each day. It has been a tremendous boon to my productivity and concentration. I love the laser focus timer. I simply set it and start working on an assignment for the allotted time with no interruptions. My daughter uses it for her homework, too.
I also enjoy reflecting at the end of the day.
This app offers something I haven’t been able to find yet amid programs like RescueTime and the various Pomodoro-style apps out there - a free, non-invasive, non-irritating app with no ads or other catches that actually works. A task-minder, timer, reflection and gratitude journal all in one.
Paired with the book, this is an amazing tool and I highly recommend it!

This app follows the principle of selecting a significant priority for the day as outlined in the book and focusing on it.
Only recently installed and still learning. But appears straight forward. Would also like to include two other priorities.
