I wish it was it
I have ADHD and work as a founder of a healthcare company. Not every productivity system app will suit my needs. I require something reliable, bug-free, and highly mobile-friendly, considering my frequent on-the-go lifestyle.
Lately, the mobile app has been plagued with numerous bugs. For instance, planned times don’t persist, task names can’t be changed, duplicate tasks are added to the calendar, and more. Compared to alternatives like TickTick, Sunsama loses its appeal when priced at $20.00 per month and still has these issues.
Sunsama, while user-friendly, has redundant buttons that lack labels, making navigation cumbersome and not truly user-friendly.
On the other hand, I can pay around $35 for a whole year of TickTick without encountering any issues. What I appreciate about Sunsama is its intentional approach to planning and shutdown, allowing me to plan with purpose. However, this intentionality alone doesn’t justify the higher price when the app has persistent bugs.
In my opinion, I need a workhorse productivity app, not a designer one.

Absolutely awesome
This app has been life changing for me. I get more done each week than I used to in a month. I’ve been using it for years and the tech has improved greatly while still focusing on GSD. Couldn’t be better for someone looking to improve their time management and productivity.
Perfect
I’ve tried a ton of similar apps over the years and keep coming back to Sunsama. It implements all of the features that work for my flow better than anything else.
Clean and focused
Best task manager app I’ve found; integrations are great with calendar and the flexibility helps me use it as I want and it adds a little peace and order to my hectic work schedule of changing priorities and tasks
ADHD Relief
I’ve been using Sunsama since 2021. It has been invaluable for managing time. It was so helpful that I asked my work to approve the Asana integration so that I can time block work AND personal life in one view.
FYI the DESKTOP version is where the real power is at. Although the mobile version has most of the same basic functionality, I really only view the mobile version as a task collector throughout the day. I do all scheduling, planning, and management on the desktop and it’s fantastic.

So much potential but too clunky
I’ve wanted an app with this functionality for awhile but this falls short on intuitiveness and fluidity. They need to really workshop the experience to justify the price tag. You can’t charge this much and not even try to compete with the fluidity of ToDoist. I know the functionality is different, but the functionality is not useful if it’s too painstaking to use. Also, why do I have to drag every single tasks to the bottom of the list when planning my day? It’s a huge pain if someone is trying to block their day in pomodoros. Just let me add it to the end! And the founder or whoever will literally send you an email every day. Like stop sending emails and fix your app!

Miserable login feature
This app practically sets you up for failure because when I attempt to revive my account, I never receive the confirmation email (tried twice with two different Gmail accounts with no success). Then I manually tried to enter an email to make an account and there’s an automated message saying I need to go to the “app website”?? to establish an account. This app IS NOT USER FRIENDLY. You’re better off getting a physical planner and handwriting your tasks. I will never use this app again.

Calendar takes over 5 seconds to load
The calendar takes forever to load, l’ve counted about 5 seconds at times. To make matters worse it often loads the previous days calendar for today. Support refused to fix this, I’ve emailed them multiple times about this
Great for desktop
Very helpful app for the desktop version, but the phone app is still quite limited and not super easy to use. I hope they keep making improvements because I love the concept and use it on my computer all day.
App performance needs work
Sunsama is a helpful product in web, but the app performance needs a lot of work. Input latency is really bad and the app frequently drops or ignored inputs.
Getting setup NOT ADHD Friendly
You can ONLY get set up on a computer, not with your phone. This is extremely frustrating and by the time I get to a computer I will either not be interested or completely forget.
If it’s this difficult to get started, I can only imagine how difficult and frustrating it will be to use.

Excellent Workflows, Poor Mobile Execution
Mobile app is near unusable for task editing/addition. I just spent 5+ minutes trying to move three task around on my day, and adjusting the time. Seemingly the only interface for time changes on mobile is touch. Why on earth can I not just edit the field on the task???
Furthermore, new or resized tasks keep appearing/disappearing from the timeline? Did anybody do QA on the iOS app???? This runs as well if not worse than something spat out at a hackathon. The desktop/web app is much more useful, which makes the mobile app all the more disappointing for us subscribers.

The best to do app I’ve found
I love this app because it can pull in tasks from so many apps and help me create a reasonable workday — email, Apple Reminders, Asana, Clickup, ToDoist and more. It’s gorgeous and works well on phone and desktop. Helps me stay committed to my goals. Absolutely worth the cost. The team is also always willing to listen to feedback.

App needs work
The website is great. The app annoys me to no end though. Every time you put a new event on the calendar it always disappears.
Love Sunsama, App Needs Work
As a whole, Sunsama has changed my life. I’m actually productive and my ADHD feels manageable. I would recommend the product to everyone.
Only downside is the app itself. Web is beautiful and perfect, but the app is glitchy. I try and change dates and tasks just disappear. The app is definitely more limited than desktop which fine, they updated it so you can do a bit more now. But my only quip is the glitches and sometimes the app freezes up. Typically have to close out and reopen for it to all update/fix.
Oh and I wish the calendar view was like the desktop version where it auto inputs your tasks so you can see what it recommends, unless there’s a setting for that which I missed.

adhd friendly… no alarm alerts reminders?
Sincerely love the desktop app. When I do manage to use it that is. The app version I appreciate is truly minimized so you don’t do too much from this tiny screen but why have time based tasks and seemingly avoid implementing a feature to nudge me to do it? I completely forget the app on my phone and sometimes the things I meant to do because of this. Even a sound and ‘task pending’ notification that forces you to open the app and check your tasks would be better than nothing at all.

Delightful personal planner for founders and execs
Love this app; have used as my personal helper in combo with asana, then ClickUp as an org wide tool. Helpful integrations and reminders.
Brings a little peace to the chaos in my head of what to do next.

Amazing product but the App Seriously Needs Help
The desktop version is amazing. The visualization, colors, and UI are extremely helpful for visualizing my day and weeks. I use this in addition to TickTick and now my productivity game is even better. Great for those who are neurodivergent.
At the same time, I can’t believe the app is so useless. I think it’s time for the product team to add app functionality to the roadmap asap. We can’t carry around our laptops in life.

I don’t get it
Way too complicated. Not very intuitive or user friendly. Stuck with a massive list every day if I didn’t do everything or the other option is it all disappears if you don’t do it. My backlog disappeared?! I’m sure the developer finds it intuitive but my brain doesn’t work like theirs. The back end settings are a mess. Takes too many steps to do basic stuff.
