The BEST planner app

I’ve tried soooooooo many planners, notebooks, and apps and this app has everything I’ve been looking for my whole life, it’s extremely convenient. Please never discontinue it

All Entries Deleted

As per title, all my old entries have been deleted. This happened after I decided to switch to pro. Avoid like the plague.

Best planner for those who like to hand write

I have been using this for a long time. I have tried MANY and keep coming back to this one. I love that whatever I write in each box automatically shows up in various places (the day I write on in month view will show up when I switch to weekly view, for example). It is perfect for my neurospicy brain. However, I REALLY wish this had some color options for aesthetics. It is boring as heck, lol. And that alone is the biggest reason I keep trying (and hating) other planners. This app literally has everything I need, but man I get bored of the view, lol. Please give us color layout options!

Don’t!

Customer service never emails you back, despite paying for this janky app I’ve lost my data twice. Once when I closed the app, so I left it open on going and once, well because my login credentials were no longer stored. Reached out for support, and of course, radio silence. Find something else this sucks.

We are living in Hell

Just another app that pretends to be cool and customizable but in reality, all those features are locked behind a paywall. Don’t bother even downloading unless you wanna give them twenty bucks.

A few Updates away from Perfection

I don’t write reviews usually but this is genuinely my favorite planner/notes app I’ve ever used. The in-app syncing with my all my calendars is so useful. Being able to write over my time blocks on my Google Calendar instead of having to make another calendar for my tasks, scratches an itch in my brain that other apps and systems don’t. Truly love this app, just needs stickers and the ability to add images!

Text keeps disappearing!!!

It doesn’t save my text so I have to keep rewriting it

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.

Service ?

Ich habe ein Problem die App in die I Cloud zu bekommen. Daher kein Sync zum IPhone. Leider antwortet der Support trotz 3 maliger E Mail nicht 🙁
