Is this thing on?
I have this app on my computer and phone and figured I’d install on my iPad so I can work and track my studies whatever tool I’m using. I installed and the app opens to the calendar but doesn’t respond to any touch with my hand or pencil pro. What is the deal?
Love Desktop App
Like I said, the execution in browser is very good, I would love to be able to view my schedule on the go though so please put this app back in development!!!
Favourite app!!
Shovel is definitely of my favourite apps out of many others I have tried. It helps me keep track of my timetable and schedule, as well as any deadlines for assignments. I love the idea and the aesthetics that are put behind this app, and the visuals help me understand exactly what I need to do today. Overall, great app for busy students, and anyone else who wants to conquer procrastination!!

App Keeps Crashing
I’m a lifetime member and i’m satisfied with The desktop version it works fine and the app has been very helpful in the past but this semester the App has been crashing all the time and wayy too buggy. needs to be fixed.
Crashing
App is great for task list, crashes about every month with a plain white screen. Have to delete and reinstall, such a pain. Desktop app on computer works flawlessly and the program is great.
app doesn’t work
it worked in the beginning, when i bought the lifetime subscription everything stopped working. i emailed about the issue and was told to delete and reinstall. worked for a bit, then back to blank pages. i spent so much just for absolutely nothing. really disappointing
App and website glitch
So there have been a few times where the app has completely glitched for days. I have had to erase the app and redownload it. When you are in a hurry this can be a problem. Both the website and the app are not reliable. It is a great platform but needs many changes.
App not working
Just shows a blank screen when I open it. I still use the desktop app so I’m worried the same will happen to that
The concept is amazing but:
I have a lifetime membership because I love this concept so much but I am disappointed that the widgets disappeared with iOS 18. Considering that the phone app is always crashing it was nice to be able to at least see a weekly overview of classes and and assignments from widget view without going into the app especially in different focus modes.

Amazing tool! Amazing customer support.
I’ve used this app for years. Its amazing. I had trouble on my iPad and iPhone thought but after convo with Petr, he suggested it might be a setting on my phone causing it. I hadn’t even considered that!
If you have trouble on iPad or iPhone, check your app specific settings. I had the background app refresh turned off for all my apps, hoping to save battery life. Turned it back on and it works perfectly!
I highly recommend this product and to be honest I very rarely do that. The customer service the offer is absolutely excellent! That’s so important because you know you’ll get help if there is an issue.
I think I’ve been using this app for 4 or 5 years now and it’s honestly so helpful!

really bad
i love the shovel web app on mac, and i have the lifetime plan, but this app is awful. whenever i try to open it it is completely blank and doesn’t even attempt to load. i literally am only able to use it like 1/30 times i try because it’s so unreliable. would be really great to be able to see my schedule from my phone but i never can seem to. please fix this!!!

non functioning app
the app doesn’t not work all sections of the app are blank except for settings and adding a task. you can’t even see the task after you have added it though. widgets don’t work display “log into your account” even though it is already logged in. waste of a download. would give no stars if i could because it’s not even an app

Lol it cost $449 to sign up then $198 yearly
What student can afford that?
Really good app, but unusable due to developers not working on it anymore
This app is so so good, I wish I could use it as there isn’t an app like it. However the developers have unfortunately stopped working on it (last update 2 years ago).
It works fine on the web app, but this app crashes all the time, you can’t do anything and your schedule doesn’t load half the time. Also it seems notifications don’t work half the time, both in the app and on the web app. This is a requirement for me, and unfortunately I can’t use this because of it.

A little bug
Hi, so I love this app. It is really helping with my productivity. I want to mention something I noticed. When trying to schedule a last minute task through the phone- it is really difficult to click "plan". Like idk if being able to zoom in and out would help but it is impossible to click. And moving tasks to allot less time doesn't seem to help.
Please
Please

Such a good planner I wish the app didn’t have bugs 😭
The shovel desktop app is literally amazing and so comprehensive but to take full use of its features like time tracking or to change my schedule on the go I need the mobile app. Unfortunately it literally crashes whenever I try to do anything that isn’t just checking data I already entered on the desktop site 😭 I’m actually devastated because it’s so inconvenient now to use such a great tool 😭

Great website, horrible app
The app keeps crashing and bugging. It’s frustrating because online, it works so week and is easy to use. I love the website, it’s so helpful but the app needs a lot of work.
Love it, but…
This app has saved my life, as someone who gets overwhelmed by trying to mentally plan time for everything this is a godsend. I just wish the widget would work though! I have the widget on both my Ipad and Iphone but they just have blank screens with the shovel logo on top. I use this for Uni and would love to use the widget for easy viewing of my day!

IOS review
I love Shovel, however the IOS app has tons of bugs. Web app is also slow for me.
Great concept that needs attention
This app has a such a great concept behind it that really gives me, a grad student with a full time job, hope I can get everything done without any of my work suffering.
But, there are a few tiny glitches that get annoying when they pile up. 1) The widget doesn’t work because it doesn’t stay “logged in” when the app is logged in. 2) There’s no way to add a widget to the Home Screen for the latest update. 3) The phone app is just kinda slow and lacks functionally (which I can accept if everything else worked perfectly). 4) My app sends two notifications for plans: one for the actual time duration and another for the time it starts up until 11:59pm. Again, not a huge issue but annoying.
This app has so much potential and I really don’t want to see it stop getting the updates it needs. I’m on my free trial and I’m concerned about subscribing because it feels like this app will gradually lose more and more functionality.
I know that it’s primarily for Desktop and I do it use it that way, but I’m on my phone WAY more than my computer. I’d love to see this app grow and continue using it over the next three years!
