## What is Parker Planner Classic (old version)?

Parker Planner Classic is the legacy version of Parker Planner created in 2012 and is no longer supported. We want to still make this app available for a while for those who purchased it. Soon, however we'll be removing it from the AppStore as all our efforts will be spent on Parker Planner, a free to try and subscription-based productivity app.

Welcome to the Parker Planner Classic, thank you for downloading this app.

Super fast two-tap entry. Quick and easy to-do list. Notes that pin on the day you make them.

Parker Planners began in 2006 as a paper planner company. Our products started out as pocket-sized and that’s why it converted to iPhone so well!

This version of the app is no longer actively supported. Please see Parker Planner in the AppStore and bask in the glory of sync across devices, Reminder Sync, and multiple device support!

### 1/5 — Parker planner calendar

*2019-12-29*

Very disappointed and almost impossible so far to find a stand alone calendar that does not require adding all info from another calendar .
    Need separate calendars for personal to do and scheduling and separate calendar for side job and family activities .
    Most the calendar apps require to merge another calendars information . 
  If that can be avoided please let me know .

### 5/5 — This is a magnificent app!

*2018-10-05, version 1.7.8*

Best to do, notes and calendar. I been using all my life a product call “Daytimer” what I really like about this is than I have the beautiful habit of writing down everything is needed to be done, no excuses no nothing if is up to me it must be pre-pared in a practical, win-win situation for all involved. I have archives of my life success at any point of time and explore the contents and results of everything with goal to repite whatever was done good.Parker is second to none,  the very ti archive your best point real time reference encyclopedia of a life of service. Thank you Sincerely Alex Elder

### 3/5 — Frustrating

*2017-07-26*

It's great when it works right. Sometimes I click on the notes in that particular days calendar and it takes me to a blank page for that day. I have to close the app and open it again and it keeps doing it for that particular day. It's very frustrating!

### 5/5 — Impressive!

*2017-07-13*

Wow, this a very well thought out tool!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2017-04-06, version 1.7.7*

The app has a nice interface and easy to use, I really love the idea of this app. Having calendar, todo, and notes all on one page is awesome. Thanks

### 1/5 — $20 a year for this?

*2017-01-28, version 1.7.7*

You've got to be kidding. This app doesn't even function properly & you want yo move to a subscription model? How do I get my money back?

### 1/5 — Wish it worked

*2017-01-16, version 1.7.7*

I love the concept, unfortunately the calendar will not allow me to add anything. Which makes it useless.

### 1/5 — Won't even open

*2017-01-10, version 1.7.7*

You'd think that, before putting an app on a freebie app promotion, you might want to make sure it works. But apparently not; this one doesn't even open, just crashes straight back to the home screen every time.

### 2/5 — Love the idea...keeps crashing

*2017-01-10, version 1.7.7*

Trying to add an event and it crashes every time. I hope it gets fixed soon. I really like the layout of the app. I won't delete it yet.

### 5/5 — V1 is solid, V2 is going to be wow

*2016-12-16, version 1.7.7*

This is the only app that combines cal, todo, and notes all in one app. It's amazing at its core and I can't wait for reminders sync and iPad version
