They blocked the app

I have a constant message blocking the app saying I have to update it to “2.3.3-beta…” version which obviously isn’t available in the App Store. This is really bad management and it is something I have noticed throughout the years that I’ve used the app: they have great ideas but they are executed in a really poor way.

Caractères trop petits

Les caractères de l’application sont trop petits, même pas au standard iPhone, Android ou autre. Pas de bouton pour régler. Je n’ai pas de problème de vue, mais ça fait franchement mal aux yeux et ce n’est pas agréable. Je désinstalle, tant pis.

Great idea execution needs revision

The concept itself seems quite interesting but iOS apl is just absolutely not functional. You open a to to and can’t close it unless you kill the app and open it again…

I totally see its potential

I really want to use this app because the overall idea is excellent. I like how tasks are organized into sections like Due and Due Soon, and the interface has a clean, modern feel.

Unfortunately, the experience feels a bit clunky in everyday use. Editing tasks and working with notes isn’t as smooth as I’d expect, and I found recurring tasks confusing. I accidentally created a daily recurring task that I couldn’t seem to delete—it just kept moving to the next day, which made me lose confidence in the app.

The app has a lot of potential, and with improvements to task editing, recurring task management, and overall usability, it could become a great productivity tool. Right now, though, it feels like the core experience needs a bit more polish.

My review

This app is helping me a lot to stay organized and track my routine , it has a journal to express myself about my day to day goals , it has a calendar to track your activities highly recommended

Excellent

Routine finally replaced Google Calendar, Todoist, and Notion for me. The desktop app is excellent and the iOS app keeps getting better. Routine AI also looks very promising, especially for quickly capturing ideas with voice.

Très satisfaite

Application facile à utiliser et très utile, je recommande !!

Productivité ++

J’ai déplacer mon agenda mes notes et mes taches sur Routine, c’est hyper simple et intuitif
J’ai énormément gagné en productivité pour mon business
L’IA est egalement très accessible et performante
Je recommande

Keeps getting better

I long had looked for a good FranklinCovey digital version. While this isn’t a perfect one to one fit, it is quite good. They bring calendar, notes, contacts, and tasks together in one place and more. As they get closer to a 1.0 release, the product continues to improve and is worth a look.

Useless if you don’t use google

Can’t even access the app or preview any of the features without having a Google account. It’s really an extension for your Google account not a standalone app.

Glitchy

The mobile app is very buggy especially when panels slide up and the keyboard is on the screen. Another bug is that the “unplan” button doesn’t work and doesn’t remove the date of a task. The mobile app needs a bit of work. The potential is huge

Finally can integrate all Google Tasks and Goole Calendar from multiple accounts!

Google ecosystem user for multiple work and family accounts, and have been looking for a SIMPLE app that can integrate my schedules and tasks I add from emails in one place, and plug them in calendar view with other schedules.
Tried many productivity tools and apps and ends up being not simple and often are bloated or visually overwhelming.

Routine is visually SIMPLE with clean LAYOUT. It helps a lot with less switching between apps, then lessens distractions and context switching, which overwhelms my ADHD brain. So happy I found this tool!!

At the moment the free version is doing what I need with Zapier integration.
One downside is tasks updated or completed in Routine doesn’t reflect in Google Task (and other way around), so have to manually delete once completed. Not a big deal for now.

Any chance of developing the integration to be automatic instead of the user having to set it up?

Thank you so much for designing and developing Routine!

Best all in one app!

This is the best app i ever used for productivity and knowledge management it combines tasks, notes, calendar, contacts with the ability to customize it however you want, beautiful design and thoughtful features, just love it!

Не работает

Работа приложения заканчивается на подтверждении входа через аккаунт Google…

I was wrong

UPDATE: I was wrong.

Let’s just start by saying I NEVER write reviews. In fact, this is only my second one!

I’ve been on a search for THE task/note/calendar tool for what feels like years, and I think I finally found it.

It has a great looking interface that has all the features I need (notes, calendar, tasks), and the best part, it doesn’t feel all bloated and confusing to navigate.

All the big ones like Todoist, TickTick, etc are great tools, but they’re all almost overwhelming for the way my brain works and I give up on them after a month. Then I’ll download again thinking I figured out a better system to use the app, and give up again.

Then there are things like Structured, Brite (super bloated), and visual day planners, but I just simply don’t like the apps for various, albeit minor, reasons.

Routine finally brings together everything I need and want in a life/work organization app, and it’s super sleek with great widgets too.

Fantastic job already, and I can’t wait to see what’s to come!

Keeps crashing

I can’t use the app because it crashes immediately

Confusing

It’s a typical calendar app but I don’t understand how to sync my google account to this app any instructions I find just tells me to download the app and go through that process which I’ve done but nothing has synced.

Slow development

I like the concepts in Rountine but its development has slowed down so much I just lost patience on all the promised enhancements on the roadmap.

Crashing on boot

Would love to use it, but it crashes on boot. Started happening after I set up my Google calendar and opted to view a non-default Google calendar as my main calendar in Routine. Hopefully this gets fixed. Happy to update my review then.
