Very Disappointed!

I have the paid Pro subscription and the app started to glitch and I lost all my info that I used for work. I even reach out to support but got no response. Very disappointed!

You’ll lose everything

It’s great, until it decides to erase all your notes. Everyone is having this issue and they aren’t doing anything to fix it apparently. Nobody can get a hold of support and there’s no patches coming.

Crash!

I want to love it, but it closes before I can do anything! Using iPad Air up to date! Help!

What happened

I’ve used this app for about 2 years now and within the last month and a half the app has gone bad. Every time I open the app it either crashes or “glitches” and anything I’ve typed or written has been erased. Not sure what happened because I loved this app so much…

Three day trial is a joke

Downloaded this and quickly found it was not what I was needing, so I immediately canceled since the app offers a three-day trial. My card was charged anyway, and two sent emails later, no response from the developers! Beware!

Notes issue

Normally love this app but all my data has been whipped. All notes gone. Month view calendar notes gone. Everything gone. Please look into this

Not reliable

I’ve tried twice in 5 years. It has a nice shape and sync well with the calendar, but you loose your notes suddenly.

Was Great - Until it wasn’t

I have been using this app for a few years. It was wonderful. I could type or use pencil. Moving between the different view was easy and seamless. Then one day in early 2026 it crashed and when it restarted - the appearance changed. The links between day and month and week don’t work and the update doesn’t even have the same appearance. I have emailed tech support several times and still haven’t heard anything back. I was a paid subscriber - but no more. I am canceling my renewal. Don’t waste your money on this.

Keeps crashing

I really like the concept of this app and I love to use it to organize my schedule but lately it’s been crashing so much that it’s almost impossible to even use it. Please fix this! I tried uninstalling and reinstalling it but the problem is still there.

LOVE IT (using on IPad)

Perfect for handling multiple task and keeping organized while also allowing me to write hand written notes on it without using two separate apps. Def recommend if one has and IPad or Tablet of some sort with a pencil.

Crashes every time!

This app is useless! Constantly crashing so I can’t even use it. Really enjoyed it when it was working.

Noted Disappearing

I’m a Pro user, and there is a bug where I lost years of notes using this app. This needs to be fixed or my subscription will be forfeited.

No longer works!

This planner was fantastic and then it stopped working a few weeks ago. My notes erase and the app no longer syncs between my iPad and iPhone. Such a bummer!

Crashes Regularly

So glitch on start up.
Probably works less than half the time.
There is still a confusing V1 / V2 different versions of the calendar. You would think they would have sorted this out by now.

Used to be good but now seriously lacking in reliability.
Needs a total redesign.

TERRIBLE

I seriously spent all day decorating my calendar so that I can have my calendar on the go instead of on my paper calendar that I hang on the wall made everything cute. Did doodles put an important dates did almost 2 months of work and I open the app again and everything was gone. Mind you this is my first day using it absolutely terrible. I don’t recommend to anyone. This was a terrible experience and it ruined most my day. Hope this helps.

Powerful but unreliable

App glitches and shuts down too frequently for it to be reliable. Really love this app otherwise.

Update is broken

This is so frustrating. I used to love this app, now I’ve lost all my info TWICE. Will not be renewing my subscription.

Almost everything

I really love this app. I really like that the layout and format are somewhat customizable, making it suitable for a large variety of people. I just wish that had a widget available for iOS. Give me a widget and I give you that 5th star.

Cannot hand write tasks

Erases my work

It’s a great app to use to schedule my days for a better routine and time management. The only issue I have with it is that it erases my work sometimes. Most times it will come back.. sometimes it does not. I have only used this app for my daily schedule to keep on track for the past 3+ years and I hope they keep fixing this erasure bug because it makes me crash out sometimes cause I never know if my work will come back or not in the moment (:. I pay for the yearly subscription so please keep improving this app.
