Big Progress is visible, that App is extremly good now. I like to have all in one. Calender, Habbits,… Im sure this App will become very big. ### 5/5 — Go go *2023-06-21, version 8.8.208* Best app ### 5/5 — Octopus *2023-05-16, version 8.8.196* Зручно, але на мобільній версії іos не вистачає української мови. На mac os є. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I’ve never seen a service worse than this *2023-11-25* I used this planner for a long time. For some reason, the dev just deleted my account (which I paid for) and deleted all my important data (especially notes, I used it for my job). As a result, I can’t finish my project now. I was begging the dev to recover my data, but they just ignore me. I’m starting the litigation, because it’s just fraud ### 1/5 — No reminders or alerts *2023-01-09, version 4.44.124* No matter what permissions the app has, there are no notifications for upcoming tasks, even if reminders are set. Basically makes the app absolutely useless. ### 2/5 — It is ok *2023-06-15* I downloaded the app to try out before considering buying. The layout and features are good but I can’t get past how bad the calendar is. If you had a fully functional calendar I would have purchased. The fact that I can not see what I have coming up without actually clicking on the day is horrible. It doesn’t even show on the calendar that you have something scheduled that day unless you view each day individually. The week view is bad. It needs to be broken down like an actual daily planner with the ability to schedule out your day and view your appointments in a time block format. Because the calendar is so bad I personally have no use for this app. Look at the Apple calendar app or any other planner app and take notes. What you have is a lazy version of a planner. ### 3/5 — Lost all the data *2024-04-25, version 12.4.28* After updating the application to newer version I lost all the data from the previous one - no plans, no dreams, no wishes, etc. Would really appreciate if you could help me with this, perhaps there’s an option to restore the data. ### 3/5 — Простіше ) *2024-04-15, version 12.4.24* Памʼятаю ще попередній дизайн і назву. Час від часу заходжу та чекаю коли хороша ідея буде добре реалізована, щоб придбати додаток. Нажаль, знову не вийшло. При заповненні звичок почався якийсь хаос, вони кудись зникають, на anytime не реагує, не подобається що є розділення на morning evening і тд, і що це не можна прибрати. Здається треба ще спрощувати , будь лаааааска 🌸🩵 ### 3/5 — Few cons but they’re big ones. *2024-02-03* I’ve been looking for an app like this for literal years. It has a beautiful interface with a clean and modern feel but it’s also customizable. It has the three things I wanted: calendar, tasks, and notes (plus a lot more without seeming overwhelming). It seemed perfect. Perfect enough that I bought premium so I could integrate my calendar and play with the features because there was no free trial (which would have been nice). However, there is no actual sync feature with iCal. You can import calendar events but it will not sync new ones, you have to put everything in this app going forward. There is no option at all to import reminders. Adding events is annoying - it would be way more convenient to have a start and end time instead of choosing an amount of time (or at least having both options). I really needed full integration with my calendar AND reminders because they are synced with other apps that I use including widgets that I need on my home screen (which this app also doesn’t have). The default iCal options are extremely useful for my ADHD brain (travel times, widgets, integration with other apps) but it’s so ugly and it’s not effective for me to not have my events and reminders in the same place. I wanted to love this app (I thought I did) but because of the lack of a few features that even the crappiest apps seem to have I will probably never use it. **Developer response:** Please update your Planner to the latest version, which now includes full sync with Google Calendars ### 3/5 — Велика перспектива *2022-07-01, version 4.5.4* Задумка дуже хороша, мені завжди не вистачало в додатку одночасно завдань, звичок та досягнення цілей. Але є декілька критичних зауважень: 1. Слабка синхронізація, інколи потрібно кілька разів обновити додатки на Mac та Iphone, зоб вони засинхронились. 2. Не вистачає функціоналу регулярності завдань. Наприклад «оплата комуналки» щомісяця. 3. Дуже незручний календар, коли обираєш дату виконання завдання. 4. Неможливо синхронізувати гугл-календар у зворотньому порядку. 5. Кроки до цілей не можна перетворювати в задачі, хоч і задачі можна підвязувати до кроків. 6. Мало заохочення: рейтрнг продуктивності, нагороди, бейджі, статистика, тощо. ### 4/5 — Make Widgets!! *2025-04-26* I really like this app and being able to put my to do list, goals, habits, and all in one place but I wish it had widgets that you could put on your Home Screen/page. ### 4/5 — FANTASTIC combined planner calendar and habits! *2024-04-26* This app is great! It combines all the features I was looking for in an all-in-one planner, plus a good division between paid and free features and a super functional design. I wonder if in future updates the scheduling ability will be revamped to include an easier time selection (like, start and end times rather than a wheel) and the ability to see on which days an event or task is scheduled without clicking directly on the day. I feel like my events are hiding from me haha **Developer response:** Thank you for the review. We display only events and tasks for the selected day to focus on the right things at the right time. We can't change the past and can't change the future. We can only plan for the future and work today. This is more correct and productive than viewing everything at once. Having a cluttered mix of plans and habits with work tasks can't be a productive approach. We have spent more than 200 hours testing productivity in different scenarios. So, splitting is a true and correct way to gain focus and become more productive. ### 4/5 — Useful. should allow more customization *2024-01-28, version 10.4.114* I’m using this pro version for 2 months now. It works well and does all what it promises without any bugs. however There are some rigid design choices. e.g. you can mark a task as completed when the day on which the task was scheduled has passed. i’ll still recommend this app but it needs to go far to become perfect planner in many ways ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My best Planner App *2025-02-15, version 14.4.24* Clean, and contain all you need to be productive everyday. extremely useful ❤️❤️❤️ ### 5/5 — Really great goal and habit tracker, to do list, and day planner *2025-01-30* I’ve used basically all of the trackers/planners that are highly rated on the App Store but all of them were limited to one or two kinds of functionality. This app combines all of them into one. It has a habit tracker, a goal tracker, a daily planner, a to do list section that integrate wonderfully together. You can add events, you can customize the color palette and theme, and super easy interface with the perfect amount of detail. Really really great app, I don’t ever write reviews but this has been exactly what I’m looking for. I’ve been able to delete 3 other apps in place of this one. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-11-13* The customer service that Octopus provides is top notch. The times I have contacted them for help were met with very timely responses and they are easy to work with. I’m confident this app will continue to grow and expand. I am want to support apps and developers that value their customers. Thanks again Octopus for providing a great app and a wonderful experience. **Developer response:** Thank you for the 5-star rating and review! It motivates us to enhance our app. ### 5/5 — Superb Quality *2024-10-07* Excellent organization in this app. Ease of use is very good, and they continue to work to improve the app. The most thorough and well-designed calendar/ planner I have yet to see in the public sphere. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! We're happy you find the app well-designed and user-friendly. We'll keep striving to make it even better! ### 5/5 — The best planner I have used! *2024-06-15, version 12.8.22* The application not only allows you to plan your tasks every day, but also provides the ability to set goals, work on habits, as well as a convenient functionality for recording your thoughts. Deleted other planners on the phone. Looking forward to the Mac Desktop version) ### 5/5 — Bester Planer im App Store *2023-12-27, version 10.4.108* Ich war seit langem auf der Suche nach einem Planer zum Organisieren von meinem Alltag. Auf dieser Suche sind mir viele Apps untergekommen, aber Octopus ist bei weitem die beste: Übersichtlich organisiert, mit allen Funktionen, die es braucht. Es ist mit der bezahlten Version sogar möglich, zusammen mit anderen Nutzern an Projekten zu arbeiten — eine Funktion, die mir besonders gut gefällt. Diese Pro Version, die es bei den meisten Apps nur als Abofalle gibt, ist als einmaliger Kauf zu einem angemessenen Preis erhältlich. Alles in Allem muss ich sagen: Mir ist selten eine so gelungene App untergekommen! Sehr zu empfehlen. ### 5/5 — Great tool *2023-11-17* Not ideal but can be the future. 5 Stars as a future motivation. ### 5/5 — Amazing!!! *2023-11-17* It really brings a new perspective to productivity apps. **Developer response:** Thank you for sharing your thoughts! ### 5/5 — Very good app *2023-11-17* A worthwhile investment for my money. Props to the dev team for this app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your valuable feedback! ### 5/5 — Awsome Planner *2023-11-17* Gorgeous interface, but missing widgets. Are there plans to integrate them soon? **Developer response:** We appreciate your feedback!
