### 4/5 — Almost perfect!

*2025-07-09, version 1.0*

I love so many things about this app!! I wish however, that it gave the option to automatically move everything unchecked to the next day( maybe a choice in the settings)! I also wish I could drag an item from “priorities” to “to do’s” or to another day, and also drag to rearrange order. I would also appreciate each item being auto copied to a master list till it’s completed and maybe a list of what was done. Lastly, if I could create my own labels for the Pomodoro bubbles…that would be amazing! I’ve tried to contact support and come up with dead ends, so hopefully this review finds the developer! Again, this is a uniquely and refreshingly basic, yet robust app! I do see the charm of a clean slate each day and hate the clutter of too many features (i.e. alarms and sharing, etc…). I’ve even used the “notes” section as a daily journal! I love the clean interface and will continue to use this as my go to, TO DO list app!!

### 4/5 — Minimalist almost perfection

*2024-08-15, version 1.0*

The best daily planner I’ve used. I only wish they had a recurring task option as copy and pasting is a bit of a chore

### 4/5 — I'm a huge fan, but I think it could be even better

*2024-05-24, version 1.0*

I've been searching for quite a while for an app that can function as a task organizer and daily planner, and this is my favorite app I've come across. I really like that the schedule and to-do list are both included. I really love the set-up of the schedule, I feel like it's very easy to use and it's useful to plan out my day when I have a lot of things to do. I don't use the "Extras" tab often, but it is nice to have when I want/need to use something like that. However, there are a few things I would add to truly make this my perfect planner app. I wish we could rearrange the order of the tasks in the todo list and prioritizes list as well as being able to make some tasks be repeating every day, week, custom, etc. Whether that be in the To Do tab or Schedule tab. It would be useful to have as someone who hasn't had luck with "habit building" apps, I think a feature like that would be the best way to subtly help users build habits if they want to. One more thing that is significantly less important, the color scheme of the app is very cute in light mode, but in my opinion, it's rather unappealing when my phone is in dark mode, which is most of the time. On top of that, while in light mode (how it is intended to be) the display is somewhat "girly". I am not someone who has a problem with that however, I'm sure many of your users and potential users would appreciate it if there were more color scheme options. While I do have some bones to pick about this app, I will reiterate that this is my favorite daily planner and task manager app I have come across. I want to thank the developers who created this app, and I hope my criticism is constructive to you. :)

### 4/5 — App is meh

*2023-12-20, version 1.0*

This app is app free, no adds and simple but I still don't  know what pormodro is its confusing me

### 4/5 — A Very Good Time Management App!

*2023-12-11, version 1.0*

I’ve been looking for a decent time management app for a couple of years and I finally found it here. Very simple, clean looking layout and design . Finally after decades of use I can leave the paper Day Timer and Planner Pads behind with this. 

My only suggestion for improvement would be to add a Weekly To-Do page. On Sunday evening I try to generate a list of the trivial (but still need to be done) things for the next week. For example, pulling out the wife’s birthday present and card that’s been hidden, to give to her Saturday was put on the weekly mental list last night. It would be great to have a separate page for weekly stuff on this app. Then you can review the weekly “to do” list each day and pick one or two things to get done from that list to the daily “to-do” list each day. It would be especially cool if, as you completed each item on the daily page, it was also simultaneously scratched off as done on the weekly “to do” list page as well. That addition would take this app up another level and I would give it a 5 star rating. Right now, I’d give it a 4 or 4.5.

I hope the above suggestion gets added to this app in the future. Thanks for creating this and keep working to improve it.

### 4/5 — Good!

*2023-11-16, version 1.0*

Gets job done. Doesn’t bug me with payments. Free, no ads. Takes up the littlest amount of storage. The only things that could be better is options for colors. I didn't see a button where you could change the color or design, but it should be added in there please. To make it more colorful and fun!

### 4/5 — Great App; Suggestion

*2023-11-13, version 1.0*

I live Everything about this but please do you think you could add either an apple calendar integration or a zoom out calendar??

With so much love,
Me

### 4/5 — Please add an auto feature!

*2023-09-17, version 1.0*

This app is a great app and it is quite simple and not to jam packed the only thing I would appreciate would be an auto feature to move your previous to dos to the next day ect

### 4/5 — Iuitdc

*2023-09-09, version 1.0*

This app is free unlike other apps and is easy to use
This is the best daily planner so far 
Thanks for the app

### 4/5 — I LOVE this app!!

*2023-08-31, version 1.0*

Honestly this app has changed the way I work and is EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for. I needed something that I use for work that had all my to do’s alongside my schedule, but also allowed to prioritise the most important things. The food/water tracker is an added bonus as I can now plan my schedule and meals right into the app at the beginning of the week so I don’t stray…

Highly recommend!! 

My only request would be the ability to carry tasks forward to the next day without having to rewrite them… I have a busy job and almost always don’t complete all my tasks, so they are often carried over into my next working days!

### 5/5 — Very minimalistic and cute app

*2023-08-31*

I downloaded this app a long time ago and I‘m very suprised, how easy and minimalistc it is! No adds, just a simple To-Do including a day planer and meals, water and pomodoro tracker! And there is also space to put some notes for the day! For me, the best app, that ever existed to plan my whole day and without ridiculous adds and stuff I dont need!
And as an extra, the Design is soo cute!

### 4/5 — Awesome but

*2023-06-29, version 1.0*

It’s a very good app, but I wish there was a function to carry my to do’s to the next day instead of having to re-write them all every day.

### 4/5 — Needs improvement

*2023-04-29, version 1.0*

I love how simple the app is. But I would suggest if the time setting is every 30mins gap, available for widgets, and it has notifications for the time schedule. Pleasee!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — The times

*2021-11-30, version 1.0*

I think it’s incredibly dumb that the times go from 12pm to being labeled as 13, 14 etc. I get military time but last time I checked I wasn’t in the military

### 2/5 — It’s O K

*2023-10-19, version 1.0*

Love the simplicity but wished the hourly list was bigger and would include all 24 hours because sometimes I have meetings a 3am and there’s no line for that

### 2/5 — Technical glitch, otherwise good

*2022-07-18, version 1.0*

It’s a good app and very easy to navigate. But as soon as i write the schedule for the next day and close the app, everything i write gets erased automatically. It’s so frustrating and this one glitch negates all the good features of this app.

### 3/5 — Needs scheduler

*2023-07-26, version 1.0*

I love how simple and easy to use this app is, especially the ui. Love the font, love the colors.

But I wish there was a way to set up my to dos so they recur daily/weekly, and some widgets to show me at a glance what I have on my list.

If I have to go into the app and write them in every day, I’m 100% not gonna do them after a few days.

Maybe there’s a settings page I’m missing ?

### 3/5 — some suggestions

*2023-07-14, version 1.0*

hellllo! i like just got this app 5 min ago. a few suggestions: color organize things, be able to repeat tasks without having to copy and paste, just be like “oh have this task be on every Monday”, and have it able to notify you at the time you want it to be at. Also it would be nice if there could be like a week view so you can plan the whole week out

### 3/5 — Ok so..

*2023-07-05, version 1.0*

This app is basic, and simple, but it gets the job done. all these other apps make you pay for stuff and they don’t let you do anything for free basically. this app is simple and cute and basic but it works perfectly for me. the military time schedule is a bit much, but i get it and there is not a big deal to be made about it. my only request for improvement would be the schedule starting at 12am one day and ending at 12 am the next. some people sleep late and wake up early so that would be great to have instead of starting at 5am and ending at 10pm. some customization of the color and background for free would be nice. but overall it doesn’t charge you for anything necessary. i really like this app but my only complaint is the times. nothing else is wrong about it to me💗

### 3/5 — Needs one more feature

*2023-04-05, version 1.0*

Love the simplicity of this app, but I can’t be rewriting incomplete tasks every night for the following day. 
Needs a function where I can move my to do tasks to the following day. I’m going to have to use  a different app as it’s becoming too time consuming to re type incomplete items for the next day. Would come back to this app if that feature was added.

### 3/5 — Basic and clear.

*2023-03-30, version 1.0*

Good app, pretty much like I work on paper, keeps things simple.Unless I missed something, do I have to copy each uncompleted task over to the following day? Also, how do I sync between iPad and iPhone? I opened on iPhone and there were no
To Dos or anything from mi iPad.

### 3/5 — Good.

*2022-11-20*

I just think a routine function, a calendar and a pomodoro would enhance the app, but it’s a good work, not extraordinary but cool. Oh, and I can’t use the light version of the app, I think we should be able to change this in the app - 

Plus: Some widgets would make it very useful tool I would actually use.

Anyway, it’s new, it’s free, it’s okay 👍
Thanks! And good work.

### 3/5 — Please add these features

*2022-11-06, version 1.0*

Please add these features 
1) ability to rename Pomodoro and water to whatever you want 
2) ability to quickly switch to a previous or future day rather than going day by day with arrows at top
3) daily push notification reminder at specified time 
4) ability to remove prioritises so it’s all one to do list

### 5/5 — A life saver

*2024-08-20, version 1.0*

This minimalist beauty is light, fast and does the job better than most task managers. It helps you organize, plan and structure your day nearly in one place within minutes. 

Beats most pretty looking to do apps. Well done. Thank you.

### 5/5 — Good

*2024-06-28, version 1.0*

Awesome app. Would just recommend maybe giving options for the colour palette, so we could choose between something more neutral.

### 5/5 — Love it.

*2024-02-27, version 1.0*

Simple. Checks stuff out by crossing it (like a traditional To-Do list). No ads or payments needed and has a priority list and regular to-do. You can also log in your meals and water intake, add some notes and schedule things at certain times. 👍 you can even write lists for the next days whenever you want. Super helpful.

### 5/5 — Amazing app

*2024-01-08, version 1.0*

One of the best apps ever But could you add at least 11pm into the schedule as an option? Some folks are night birds or shift workers.

### 5/5 — Get it!!!!!

*2023-11-25, version 1.0*

If I don’t use this app to plan my day I can’t even do anything! This app has helped me sm. I like that it’s simple and easy to use.

### 5/5 — Cool

*2023-11-11, version 1.0*

cool

### 5/5 — Perfectly simple, fantastic graphically

*2023-10-04, version 1.0*

Exactly what I’ve been looking for, but can you educate me on the Cirillo Pomodoro section and the best way to use it? Thank you!
