Doesn’t work

I used to really like this app. But it doesn’t really work anymore. Sometimes events appear in the calendar and sometimes they don’t. I’ve checked the settings multiple times to no avail.

The last update was well over a year ago. It appears that this app is no longer being supported, so I would go a different direction if I were you.

No Version Updates?

The app looks quite good so far but I can’t help but notice it’s subscription-based, and there hasn’t been a new release for a year. I get the idea of “if it’s not broke, don’t fix it”, but I find it hard to believe there’s no room for improvement.

Updates or Free?

I have been with you since the RM planner before a digital calendar became a reality. I love this app.

However It hasn't had any updates for almost year. Would you consider making this app free instead? It seems the app has been neglected but I'm still hopeful.

Thanks!! Working on a release right now that fixes the list view crash.

Cannot sync with Google nor Calengoo

Being unable to sync with my Android's calendar and planner makes this useless to me. Cross-platform ING with Windows, Android, and iOS is important for me. Deleting. Please cancel subscription.

Best Planner out there.

This planner does it just right. Just the right amount of features that it can mesh right in with your preferred planning habits, but not to many that it’s excessive or overwhelming. Devs are always quick to respond to big fix feedback. I’ve had the yearly subscription since the new version of the app came out and it’s definitely worth it.

Thank you! We are releasing bug fixes right now to help everyone feel the joy

Calendar and todo list side by side

First off, customer service is amazing on this app. They will patiently do what it takes to solve your problem and make it right, always.

Seeing my calendar and todo list right next to each other every day helps me figure out **when to do things, not just *that I need to do them. This app helps a ton with that.

Being able to jot smoothing down really quick in notes on a given day is amazing. Then if I’m trying to remember a thing or idea from doing that it’s in Day View Notes tag over in notes. Really simple but opwerful organization of the app for sure

Thanks MinimumHoser, always glad to see you hosing at a minimum

I love this app!

I was a big planner in school and then when I finished school, somehow became totally reactive in my scheduling. I used to use the IPhone calendar, Google calendar, Outlook calendar, to do lists on my phone notes, to do lists on my phone, and to do lists on my mole skin notebook. (I still love my notebook for writing out all my thoughts). I love this app!!! It’s everything I wanted in a planning app. No lie and I was super lucky to find it. Thank you Parker Planner Team for the app! I totally recommend it.

No Response From Support

Here’s a great idea. Let’s give folks a week’s free trial to assess the app. But here’s NOT such a great idea. If someone is assessing the app and runs into a problem that needs resolving, let’s not get back to them when they contact support. Then, if they have ANOTHER problem, and contact support AGAIN, let’s not get back to them. AGAIN.

I assume that’s the conversation the developers had. That’s what happened to me anyway. Well, if developers can’t be bothered giving me, a potential paying customer, their time, then I can’t be bothered giving them my money.

WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN MY WHOLE LIFE

Okey seriously why isnt this on the top list for best productivity? I literally downloaded so many calendar apps and this was exactly what I imagined my perfect calendar would be like. I love how simple the design is and how customizable it is. 10/10

We may not have been here your whole life, but we've been a company since 2006. We made paper planners until 2012 when we released our first iPhone app. Thanks for the review! Also for sure use the Notes feature on desktop web- app.parkerplanner.com And soon we'll have todos working on desktop as well.

Best productivity app out there

This app is awesome! Everything you need to keep your life organized is in one place. It's so handy to be able to see my calendar, reminders, and notes all together. Love it! No more bouncing between apps for me!

Edit: loving this app even more with every new version. Just keeps getting better!

Thanks for the newest update. I hadn't lost any of my notes mid-typing yet but feels good to know that you've fixed it before it ever became a problem for me.

I am loving the dark theme! Super sleek and sophisticated.

Oh my love for you, PP, you are the app of my heart 😘

Dark mode totally rocks imma use it as default now

Most eggshellent thanks for the review! Make sure to use the web app for full notes sync as well!

Long time fan

I have been a fan of the previous app for years. It was very easy to use for a daily planner, and it always helped me stay on track and get things done. The simple interface was great to work with. The new app is even better! It’s really simple yet really effective. Every other planner app I have tried is confusing and has too many unnecessary things going on, but this app does it right. The new additions have been added seamlessly and it looks better than ever! Highly recommend this app for those who are looking for a modern spin on the classic day planner!

Only thing I hope to see in the future is more color options for the themes.

That's fantastic, so glad you like it! Remember to try out the desktop app, at the moment all we have is notes up but it's awesome! It syncs with your phone. Soon we'll be adding todos. app.parkerplanners.com is how to find it!

Super functionable design

I love this app due to the main screen that has access to the calendar todos and notes on one page and window! It is so nice to see every day one by one and have notes and todos side by side with the calendar! Thanks Parker planners!

Yes of course! You understand the magic sauce. Please let us know how we can make it better. And for sure go check out the web notes! They're live! You can now login through any web browser and access your notes. Todos coming soon! http://app.parkerplanner.com

Can't trial without providing an email address

Sorry team but being unable to trial the app without providing an email address is not ok.
A) no explanation as to why you could conceivably need my email address. Calendars/contacts/notes are iOS- not email linked.
B) no privacy statement- what will you do with my email?
C) even if there is a good reason (web login for example), if just want to trial the app, to assess its suitability, then I shouldn't be forced to provide private information (email address) before assessing the app.

Hey there! Let me reply to each of your concerns - A - Your email is your username so you don't have to keep track of two things. It also allows you to recover your password if you don't remember. B - Here's a link to our privacy policy, which is in in the app in multiple places - http://www.parkerplanners.com/privacy-policy.html C - Yes indeed you can login via desktop web browser and see your notes! Todos and cal events soon to follow. We have a very unique free trial period. You get 7 non-consecutive days and unlike Apple's default system we do not charge you at the end of a free trial. We also provide a link directly into your iTunes subscriptions right from the ParkerPlanner app in case you ever want to cancel. Many apps don't do this because they know you have to hunt through iTunes to find the link to cancel a subscription. We're open and honest, we're a small but dedicated team. Best, ParkerPlanner Founder Ethan

Just looking for your $$

Used to be great, now they are just looking to make an easy $$.

I purchased their first app, now they don’t support or update it. Terrible company.

Edited May 2020 we just released two updates and it's a lot better. Oh, if app development were easy. Hardly easy money, fine sir. The new app is much, much better than the old one as it sync across devices and has much better functionality including landscape and iPad support for the same low price. We also now are working on a desktop web app with Notes already available with full sync!
