### 4/5 — 🙂?

*2026-06-25, version 5.0.5*

It could be better and less cluttered. There is so many buttons and options it hurts my brain a little. Also I wish apps could just be all free because I get you probably want money so you can make new products or something but most people don’t want to pay for something good if we are a kid that has no job and no money yet. I like it though because it’s colorful and so far it’s pretty helpful. 🙂

### 3/5 — Hi

*2025-10-15, version 5.0.5*

The notifications doesn’t work for some weird reason I have a set time for things. It seems not to work

### 4/5 — Perfect Planner

*2025-02-26, version 5.0.5*

This app is honestly the best I’ve ever had in terms of planners. I've always struggled to find one that suited my needs/organizing style. Others that I have found were too detailed or not detailed enough. This one is perfect for my ADHD brain because it keeps everything simple and organized but it gives you the option to choose how you want it to be displayed. My only minor issue with it is that I wish the the app allowed us to upload our own themes. The options they have are boring and limited. But other than that, I really do love it!

### 3/5 — Good but not much you can do

*2024-10-29, version 5.0.5*

It is easy to use and good for making schedules and lists but I wish it was a little more creative and decorative. I know just for a list you don’t need a lot but still, it is still fun to decorate.

### 3/5 — Looks beautiful but…

*2024-08-18, version 5.0.5*

Really need an iPad and desktop version  to make this really useful. They need to be able to sync. Also, being able to archive projects but be able to access them if needed would be great. This is a beautiful app just needs work. If it remains the same $29.99 is much too high for a subscription for just a phone app.  The $11.99 introductory isn’t too bad. Side note, I emailed and messaged them and no reply.. very disappointing.

### 4/5 — Why can’t I change the icons?

*2024-07-14, version 5.0.5*

I’d like the ability to change the icon next to my to do lists, pins and notes

### 4/5 — REALLY HELPFUL

*2024-05-05, version 5.0.5*

I love this app it is very organized and colorful, but some times it gets confusing. I totally recommend this app but it takes a while to get the hang of it.

### 3/5 — Helpful Improvement

*2024-05-04, version 5.0.5*

I just bought this and would like to use it, but I've already noticed this one issue I have with it. It would be great if we could customize how often to repeat tasks. The options given are okay, but not always what I'm needing. Another thing is sub tasks being an option, but I may have figured out a work around for that. We will see.

### 4/5 — Great app

*2024-02-21, version 5.0.5*

Like alot

### 3/5 — Pretty but not practical

*2024-01-30, version 5.0.5*

I really need a good calendar. I do not find this easy to use, to see a month’s, week’s, day’s glance…. Still trying to figure it out. Also, I don’t need the ‘work’ and collaboration features, I need more of a home chore/organization app but it’s probably good for most people or like I mentioned that I still need to understand it.

### 5/5 — Great App For It’s Purpose!

*2024-01-29, version 5.0.5*

For I’ve always liked this app. This is by far my favorite app for tasks.

### 5/5 — Replaces several other apps!

*2023-11-19, version 5.0.5*

Great app,. Love the easy to read font. Replaces several other apps for me. Wish there was a watch app to display the top 3 daily tasks.

### 2/5 — Meh

*2023-09-25, version 5.0.5*

It's pretty but not functional. I paid for the premium and have reached out with a couple issues and no replies. The app "flashes" at me every time I take any action - it's super annoying. Definitely or worth the money.

### 4/5 — Slay app

*2023-09-23, version 5.0.5*

The best app ever It is so easy to use and productive

### 5/5 — Great App

*2023-08-05, version 5.0.0*

### 5/5 — Love the new layout

*2023-08-04, version 5.0.0*

I love the new simplified layout and I like how simple this app is for showing me the upcoming week. The widget is perfect. Thank you!

### 1/5 — Charged instantly for free trial

*2025-07-23, version 5.0.5*

This app has a 3 day trial but as soon as I got the  free trial, it instantly charged me $12.99 
I’m confused by this because it is supposed to be $0 until 3 days then it charges a monthly rate that is less than $12.99 but the instant I started the free trial it charges me a random amount for no reason??

### 1/5 — App stopped working, customer service won’t respond

*2024-04-07, version 5.0.5*

App stopped working a few months ago but despite numerous attempts at contacting customer service for help, I’ve gotten zero response. Pretty unhappy to have paid for a lifetime membership only to have the app break and no one be willing to fix it.

### 1/5 — The app isn’t working

*2023-12-13, version 5.0.5*

My boyfriend and I both purchased the lifetime deal and then when we send each other links to join each others workspace it doesn’t work no matter how many times we send the link and try to start it from a new workspace, I feel like I’ve been robbed by the company out of $80 at this point.

### 1/5 — I I really don’t like this app because I thought it was free and it not

*2023-11-07, version 5.0.5*

That was really good up at first but then it takes so long to sign in and then at the end of it after you spent so long trying to sign in it says you have to put in money I’m just here to try to find an app that’s free to help me get my life in shape

### 1/5 — Misleading

*2023-05-24, version 4.15.18*

I didn’t even try the app because when I went sign up, then you find out it’s $29.99 for a year. OH but wait you get a 3 day free trial 🤠. At this point, to download the app it should show the price before wasting time signing up etc to find out the astronomical price

### 1/5 — Poor link

*2022-11-11, version 4.5.0*

App support link provided in app store does not work! It takes you to a page that does not exist!

### 1/5 — Not happy

*2022-01-01, version 4.2.9*

After I deleted this app it keeps emailing me and the only way to turn it off is to re-download it and adjust the settings. I don’t want to download it again, I got rid of it. I want it to stop emailing me.

### 1/5 — I can’t create an account

*2020-08-20, version 3.0.11*

I can’t create an account. The message For any email is “oops, looks like this email already is exists, try again“

### 1/5 — No privacy policy so can’t sign up

*2020-07-20, version 3.0.10*

If you’re going to make your app available in Europe you need to be GDPR compliant.

### 1/5 — Waste of time

*2018-11-16, version 1.1.3*

It allows you to pile up all your jobs in one place, no priority, no order, simply a f$&?)(g huge long list... not helpful

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Sure

*2026-05-02, version 5.0.5*

I am a little confused about why I have to enter a password and email 😕

### 5/5 — Very Organized

*2026-02-09, version 5.0.5*

I am OCD and I love anything you can organize and this app is just that…

### 5/5 — Amazing!! By far the best in the App Store

*2025-07-06, version 5.0.5*

Love this organizer!! Perfect format 🙌🏼

### 5/5 — The clean girl aesthetic

*2025-06-29, version 5.0.5*

This is the best app if you want to be that girl and put together. I love this app so much usually I don’t like these apps that much because you have to pay to even use the app but this app lets you not pay which I love. To who ever made this app you are the best and thank you so much for making this app free if you want to get the bundle then you can I love that and I love all of the elements about this app.

### 5/5 — To choose this app over others

*2025-02-05, version 5.0.5*

I love this app layout whenever I open it up. It’s easy. It has everything I need and visually it helps me stay on task.
 But if you wanted me to pick this app over my other routine app, all I want to add is the ability for me to interact with my widget. I want to be able to check off my to do list from my home screen rather than opening up the app for more details!! This one feature is so convenient that if this app had that I would choose this over every other one!!

### 5/5 — Love!

*2024-11-11, version 5.0.5*

Love!  All I would ask for is 1) ability to hid little icon images 2) even more color theme options and/ or possibly customizable options. 3) A new app icon would be great. 4) also I getting repeated bug errors saying " the functionality is not available in this version, please update"....very annoying. Other than that I love it!

### 5/5 — Simplish is a great app!

*2024-08-10, version 5.0.5*

It will organize anything! I love the design and ease of use of this app. If you are looking to get organized with your life, this app willl help you stay focused and decluttered. Thank you to the developers of this app. Keep it up the great work!

### 5/5 — Error - please fix

*2024-07-08, version 5.0.5*

Hi, the app is constantly loading and doesn’t open, could you please help troubleshoot?

### 5/5 — Love this app

*2024-06-07, version 5.0.5*

You should make this app also for Windows and Echo Show

### 5/5 — Simplish has replaced 2 of my apps

*2024-04-23, version 5.0.5*

I was wanting to get my life more organized and simplified. This app has replaced my notes and reminder app. And is linked to my calendar. Almost everything I need to stay on top of my schedule is in one place. I’ve made notes, to do list, shopping list. I even created a routines and yearly goals list in this one app. And it has a beautiful background/layout you can personalize. Super happy with this app.
